Thanks Thomas.<div><br></div><div>Unless anyone objects violently, I plan to
address the letter to both Ray and Bertrand. After all, it was Bertrand who
contacted us so it would be plain rude IMO to bypass him in our
response.</div><div><br></div><div>As a personal note, I have to admit to not

it is entirely possible I just misunderstood).</div><div><br><div> <span

lang="EN-GB">As you know, the Council as well as individual SGs and
Constituencies have been discussing this important subject for a long time now.
It has also been a topic during face to face meetings between the GNSO Council
and the Board and GAC as well as with the ccNSO. Some groups have already or
will respond to the Board directly and our impression is that they are
confident to have taken appropriate steps to address the upcoming
challenges. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"

groups.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span
class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: transparent; "><span
lang="EN-GB">Since this is an unknown factor, the effects on the democratic and
participatory process of the Council and the response to that are yet to be
seen. However, we would like to highlight that ICANN is already publishing
information on how to participate (see <a target="_blank"
href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/about/participation.htm";>http://gnso.icann.org/en/about/participation.htm</a>)
including information on how to form a Constituency. Thus, the information and

style="background-color: transparent; " lang="EN-GB">These quantitative
challenges require managerial responses that ICANN can prepare for. Such
preparations should also encompass the increased burden on volunteers to deal
with even more and potentially more complex material to work on. Processes and
support schemes for volunteers should be designed to best possibly avoid
volunteer fatigue.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"

lead to marginal changes that can be dealt with once they are
known.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span
style="background-color: transparent; " lang="EN-GB">In summary, the GNSO
Council believes that the current structure is resilient to respond to the
challenges to come as long as ICANN provides the resources required to
accommodate an increasing number of participants / stakeholders and their
respective needs. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"

hoping to help solve a problem, much as he tried to do in<br>Cartagena at the
Council dinner even before he was seated on the Board. <br>Because of
that, could we address the letter to the Board overall (or<br>either of its
committees?) and change the opening paragraph to note the<br>request from
Bertrand?<br><br>I hate the thought that I am getting mired in the kind of
kabuki that I<br>often rail about, but I am uneasy about upsetting Board
comity.<br><br>My two cents.<br><br>Cheers, <br><br>John

objections or comments as a response to that suggestion, I propose we address
the letter to the Board Structural Improvements Committee (SIC), that is
to say to Ray Plzak as its chair. Bertrand wrote that the SIC will review the
proposals and therefore it should be adquate to address its chair and cc
Bertrand.</div><div><br></div><div>The content of the letter should remain
unaltered, though.</div><div><br></div><div>In my note to the Council I
reminded the group of the intention discussed during out last call to submit
the letter by the end of the week. May I suggest that you dispatch it by COB
today to allow for additional comments until
then?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Thomas</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div><div>Am

style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" class="Apple-style-span">as discussed
during yesterday's call, please find below the draft letter regarding the
impact of new gTLDs on ICANN's structure including the changes proposed by

style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent"
lang="EN-GB">the GNSO Council would like to thank you for the opportunity to
provide feedback to your request for input on the impact of new gTLDs on
ICANN's structure.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"
style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent"
lang="EN-GB">As you know, the Council as well as individual SGs and
Constituencies have been discussing this important subject for a long time now.
It has also been a topic during face to face meetings between the GNSO Council
and the Board and GAC as well as with the ccNSO. Some groups have already or
will respond to the Board directly and our impression is that they are
confident to have taken appropriate steps to address the upcoming
challenges. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"
style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent"
lang="EN-GB">As far as the Council is concerned, here will most likely be
quantitative and qualitative challenges. What these will be and their size can
hardly be predicted. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"
style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent"
lang="EN-GB">In qualitative terms, there may be new requests to
form constituencies and new stakeholder groups in both houses, some of
which may be re-configurations or alignments of existing
groups.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span
style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" class="Apple-style-span"><span
lang="EN-GB">Since this is an unknown factor, the effects on the democratic and
participatory process of the Council and the response to that are yet to be
seen. However, we would like to highlight that ICANN is already publishing
information on how to participate (see <a target="_blank"
href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/about/participation.htm";>http://gnso.icann.org/en/about/participation.htm</a>)
including information on how to form a Constituency. Thus, the information and
processes are available to be inclusive</span> </span></div><div
class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR:

challenges are more predictable in some aspects. For sure, there will

the general pubic and Governments;</span><span

style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent"
class="Apple-style-span"><span lang="EN-GB">- more attendants at meetings,
which has an impact on sizing the venues; </span><span

class="Apple-style-span"><span lang="EN-GB">- more groups that need
administrative and technical support;</span><span

style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent"
class="Apple-style-span"><span lang="EN-GB">- more telephone conferences with
more participants and more remote participation;</span><span
lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"
style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent"
class="Apple-style-span"><span lang="EN-GB">- more documents to be produced and
read; </span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div
class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR:

made and operationalized;</span><span

style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent"

managed;</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div
class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR:
transparent" lang="EN-GB">- the need for ever more stringent budget
management and control; and</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"
style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent"
lang="EN-GB">- more compliance issues that need to be taken care
of.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span
style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" lang="EN-GB">These quantitative
challenges require managerial responses that ICANN can prepare for. Such
preparations should also encompass the increased burden on volunteers to deal
with even more and potentially more complex material to work on. Processes and
support schemes for volunteers should be designed to best possibly avoid
volunteer fatigue.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"
style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent"
lang="EN-GB">The unknown is what new groups will be established and what their
place and role in the ICANN eco system shall be. However, additions will only
lead to marginal changes that can be dealt with once they are
known.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span
style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" lang="EN-GB">In summary, the GNSO Council
believes that the current structure is resilient to respond to the challenges
to come as long as ICANN provides the resources required to accommodate an
increasing number of participants / stakeholders and their respective needs.
