All,
 
In response to this note, we received a number of expressions of interest as 
follows:
 
Petter Rindforth <petter.rindforth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 
Joy Liddicoat <joy@xxxxxxx> 
Ching Chiao  <chiao@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 
Maria Farrell  <maria.farrell@xxxxxxxxx> 
Wendy Seltzer  wendy@xxxxxxxxxxx
 
However, ideally we’d like to keep the group to 2 or 3, including our ccNSO 
liaison, John Berard.
It looks like the ccNSO will have 2.
 
So … two questions:
 
1.       John Berard – Are you available as part of this group?
2.       From the other volunteers, are any of you particularly passionate 
about participating and / or not too worried about not participating?
 
Thank-you.
 
 
Jonathan

Subject: [council] Meet wiht ccNSO in Beijing



All,

We have the opportunity to meet with the ccNSO Beijing and have a scheduled a 
meeting slot to do so.  In order for it to go ahead and have a good chance of 
succeeding, we need to plan for it in advance.

Last week, I talked with Lesley Cowley (ccNSO Chair) to discuss the potential 
for the meeting and the possible agenda items, including those which had been 
suggested by Wolfgang, Maria and Petter and possibly others on our mailing 
list.  The objective in talking with Leslie objective was to come up with a 
number of areas which are likely to be of mutual interest and then to find an 
agreed way for developing and preparing for these for discussion together. 

We reviewed a number of areas / topics and came out with a non-exclusive 
short-list that seemed to be of mutual interest as follows:

1.       Providing input and advice, often at short notice.  
A discussion and sharing of the experience of dealing with the various requests 
that come to both of our groups in order to provide advice or input, often at 
short notice or at unpredictable times, and not linked to current scheduled 
work.  This discussion topic could include and link into the broader issue and 
experience of capacity planning, work group participation and work scheduling 
and planning where the ccNSO has some interesting approaches.
2.       The impact of gTLDs on ICANN.  
How significant might this be and are existing structures and approaches 
adequate to absorb and deal with this?
3.       Global Internet Governance.  
Looking at issues on an international level and how these may impact on ICANN 
and the multi-stakeholder model.  Shared experiences from global forums and the 
issues and lessons arriving.

We agreed that organising and preparing for an agenda containing some or all of 
the above (or indeed any other relevant topics) was best handled by a smaller 
group comprised of members of both GNSO & ccNSO. This type of approach as 
worked well for the ccNSO in the past.  The group could comprise a couple of 
reps from each of GNSO and ccNSO and include the liaisons (if not already one 
of the two) so making a manageable small group of 4-6 people.

I trust that you will be supportive of this approach or something similar and 
look forward to any comments or input.  If you would like to volunteer to be on 
the small group which will organise and plan for this session, please do so.

Thank-you,


Jonathan
