[council] GAC Toronto High Level meeting

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

Councillors,

Heather Dryden, the GAC Chair, and I have conferred about the GAC HL meeting 
and how it is being organized.

The session planned with the leadership of the SOs and ACs is actually meant to 
help officials from governments that are not usual ICANN participants 
understand the way we work.

So my previous request for topics for this session now appears moot.

The kind of items we might want to discuss are linked to the makeup of the 
GNSO, what our body is and what it represents, the value of the model we 
operate in, how we interact and work with governments and their reps inside the 
GAC, an explanation of the major interest that make up the GNSO (companies, 
communities, etc...).

The idea is for me to provide this kind of insight. The meeting itself will be 
open all day, but seating at the table will be limited to those invited to 
participate. My suggestion to Heather was to have the full GNSO leadership 
representing the Council, so me as Chair and your two VCs representing both 
houses.

We can discuss and prepare for this session in more depth as we approach 
Toronto.

Thanks,

Stéphane Van Gelder
