Thanks John,
It’s helpful to receive this succinct digest of relevant points.
Were you asked any questions or for input on the GNSO, the Council and our work?

Subject: [council] Report from 3.4.13 ccNSO Council meeting
To the GNSO Council:
As liaison to the ccNSO Council, I participate in its meeting on Tuesday, March
12. There were four bits of the hour-long meeting (they seek to keep to a
strict 60 minute limit) that are of particular interest to us.
1. Chair Lesley Cowley reported on calls with Jonathan Robinson regarding a
meeting in Beijing between the two councils. Such a meeting, in as much as the
two worlds -- country code and generic TLDs -- are so different they demand a
bit of forethought in an attempt to develop a more substantive agenda. This
was reflected in the three items that are likely to be on that agenda:
a. Internet governance (most of the regional reports were of collaboration with
national government organizations on the matter; additionally, there is concern
that the internet governance discussion does not reflect the unique nature of
the cc’s)
b. The effect of new gTLDs on ICANN's table of organization (with the
understanding that the cc's are keen to remain separate and apart from such
changes)
c. Handling direct requests from the Board and other Advisory Committee (the
ccNSO feels it has a method in place to handle such things and will likely
brief us on it)
2. Vice Chair Keith Davidson reported on a meeting with Fadi who said that
ICANN intends to further internationalize the organization by putting
executives in Singapore and Istanbul. No discussion on who or when.
3. A number of the ccNSO Council members expressed concern over findings of
the Echo reputation study done by and about ICANN. The discussion focused on
how different its negative results were from the positive results from studies
about ccTLDs.
4. Cowley noted that it was unlikely that the ccNNO Council will meet with the
GAC in Beijing "as the GAC is focused on new gTLDs"
Cheers,
John Berard
