What output do you anticipate will result from having the letter on the 
Wednesday agenda?

Subject: [council] Topic for next Agenda was Re: [] Incoming Council members 


Hi,

In terms of that agenda, I currently see two dominant issues:

1. Discussion of the contents of the yet to be approved letter form the Board 
to the GNSO asking for the GNSO to do some work related to the DAG and the IRT 
recommendations.

2. Any issues that still need to be dealt with in terms of completing the 
transition/restructuring.  E.g. the assignment of NCAs to houses if that has 
not been completed yet (completion date is listed as 7
Oct) or any other issue that is pending.

The agenda will come out this Thursday.  If anyone on the council has any 
issues they think also need to be covered, please let me know.

Also in terms of the Board-GNSO-Staff  Diner topic - I am thinking that the 
contents of the yet to be seen letter might be just the thing.  Does this sound 
reasonable?  Any other suggestions?

I am also thinking that this letter should be on the Wednesday Public Meeting 
agenda.

thanks
a.
