[council] SSAC Update: ICANN56 Helsinki

["James M. Bladel" <jbladel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Council Colleagues -

Recalling our conversation from last month, there was general agreement to take 
a fresh look at how we interact with the SSAC.  While stopping short of 
appointing standing GNSO/SSAC Liaison, we agreed that their updates were 
valuable, and could be improved by providing materials (slides) in advance, and 
coming to meetings with specific topics and questions prepared.

Although the Helsinki "Meeting B" format doesn't allow for a dedicated update 
from SSAC, the chair of that group (Patrik Fältström) has provided his report 
of ongoing SSAC activities (attached).  Please review, discuss, and let me know 
by Thursday (23 JUN) if there are any issues or questions that we'd like to 
raise on behalf of the Council.  I'll deliver these to Patrik for his group to 
discuss and respond in Helsinki.

Thank you,

J.
