Re: [council] Prague - please read!

[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to Thomas for picking up the discussion and to others for pursuing it. 
These proposals are great. I have summarized them in the list below.

Board
How could ICANN's communication be improved in the light of Fridays, URS and 
the TAS Glitch?
What else is the Board considering - whether in relation to changing formats or 
duration of ICANN meetings, or in holding different types of meetings (per the 
budget) - that the GNSO can provide input on?
Regarding the newly-estabilshed New gTLD Committee and how does it function. 
How can GNSO help / liaise with this committee and collaborate?

GAC
In what areas might the GAC wish to co-operate with the GNSO so we can prepare 
/ plan resources?
How can the Council and the GAC can help manage expectations of both the public 
bodies (especially LEA) and industry when it comes to fighting abuse?
Discuss the GAC views on the IGO issue, especially as the IOC has just 
submitted a Request for Reconsideration of the Board's recent decision not to 
change the AGB.
How can the GAC and GNSO can improve their joint working relationship? Are our 
processes for joint engagement on areas of mutual interest adequate - can
they be improved? A particular focus on efficiency and speed would be useful. 
For example, would an informal joint standing committee of some kind
be helpful? 

ccNSO
Pick up the discussion what effects the huge number of registries might have on 
our work and structure now that we know we should expect something in the range 
of 2k new TLDs.
Discussion on how we can engage around areas of mutual interest such as 
emerging issues in the development of policies for law enforcement requests.

Others, please help continue to build this list, especially with regards to our 
interaction with the ccNSO.

All, please also provide suggestions on what weekend sessions you'd like to see.

I suggest we let the above lists build up a little more and then move into a 
discussion of which topics we actually all feel comfortable with and want to 
forward to the respective groups.

Thanks again.
