RE: [council] For your information - latest version of the GNSO Marrakech Public Schedule

[Phil Corwin <psc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For discussion with the new CEO, I would suggest the following question:

        What are your plans to establish an enhanced culture of accountability 
within ICANN staff that includes a full understanding of         the bottom-up 
consensus-driven policy development process and that will seek consultation 
with the community before     significant decisions are announced?

Without reciting all the demonstrative examples, I have heard many within the 
ICANN community express concern regarding senior staff initiatives over the 
past few years that they have regarded as top down, as well as about the fact 
that so many new staff were hired within such a short period that they had 
insufficient familiarity with the  unique history and design of ICANN. The 
question also would be useful insofar that the proposed accountability measures 
are all reactive, and that greater deference to community views and input prior 
to decision-making would reduce the need for their use.

Good addition, Julf.  Marika, can we add this?

If there are no other topics in the next hour or two, we will transmit this 
list to the board.

Thanks<
