<p dir="ltr">Jonathan,</p>
<p dir="ltr">We have talked about asking a GNSO Councilor to serve as ccNSO 
Council liaison the year following the end of his or her GNSO term.&nbsp; This 
could benefit from travel support, too.</p>

with the agreed GNSO PDP Improvements, the GNSO Council Chairs (Chair &amp; 
Vice Chairs) are planning to submit a request to fund a pilot project for 
facilitated face-to-face PDP Working Group meetings.&nbsp; It is proposed that 
these F2F meetings will be linked to the ICANN meetings in FY15 in order to 
best manage costs. The objective is to allow us to try and test the concept of 
professional facilitation as well as create additional F2F time for PDP Working 
Groups.&nbsp; We anticipate that this will provide us with useful insights on 
whether this works, and if so, how to further develop this 
concept.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span

 as part of the work of the GAC &#8211; GNSO Consultation Group on Early 
Engagement, we've prepared a request for travel funding for a GNSO liaison to 
the GAC. Do note however, that this request is in&nbsp;no way intended to 
pre-determine the discussion in the Consultation Group on the different options 
(for regular GAC-GNSO liaison) that have been put forward to date and as such, 
it can be withdrawn at any point should the Consultation Group decide not to 
pursue this specific option any further.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p
