- Thread-topic: [council] Board letter to GNSO Council
Mike,
I think we have to be very careful about keeping our processes open, so
I would have a concern in that regard.
On another note, it seems to me that our first order of business
regarding the Board letter should be to develop a process for doing the
work they request us to do. I think it would be premature and
ineffective to start discussing the issues until be have a process in
place. There will be opportunities in ICANN workshops during the week
to discuss the issues. Before we develop a process, it would be helpful
to make sure we understand the request thoroughly, so an interaction
with Denise and possibly a representative from the Board could be a good
start.
Chuck
