RE: [council] GNSO Council meeting proposed dates

["Marilyn Cade" <marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think all of these comments are well taken, however, we need to
differentiate between what we have a "retreat" with the Board about, and
what we discuss with the staff. 

For instance, the StratPlan or Operational Plan make for a Board level
retreat/dialogue. Specifics of how we work with staff aren't suited to a
Board/Council retreat, but may be worked into case examples of who is
responsible for what kind of discussions.

I also think we should discuss the current policy development
interaction between Council, Staff and Board. It became obvious during
the Luxembourg meeting that some of the actions undertaken by all
parties are not well understood or co-ordinated. Suggest we look at what
is working well and what isn't.

Lets discuss on the next Council call.

It is important to work out the topics for discussion with the Board.

For now, the topics are:
- new gtlds (identify the critical policy question/s for work in the
GNSO)
- review of the GNSO (develop terms of reference)

I think we need to do some preparation work before meeting with the
Board. 

I also recommend that in Vancouver, we meet jointly with the Board,
ccNSO Council, and ASO Council to review critical policy activities of
ICANN.
