Thanks Bruce

It was the subsequent procedures on new gTLDs PDP that I had in mind where I 
believe it would be beneficial to have structured discussions to either respond 
to, or perhaps even avoid, the situation where GAC advice is at odds with the 
PDP recommendations. The PDP WG is making progress on a number of topics and it 
may be possible to have trilateral sessions before finalization of the PDP 
recommendations and GAC advice, or vice versa. If we don't have the opportunity 
for such discussion, I fear there will be unnecessary and potentially lengthy 
delays.

I completely agree the current – GAC-Board, GNSO-Board, GNSO-GAC combination of 
separate meetings sometimes spread over multiple ICANN meetings (ie Board might 
discuss a topic with GNSO in one public meeting, and discuss the same topic 
with GAC at a different public meeting)  is dysfunctional.    I would much 
prefer a structured GAC-GNSO-Board meeting on topics related to gTLDs, where 
the GAC has provided advice.

Bruce Tonkin
