To the Supporting Organisations and Advisory Committees:

The Board is interested in your views on the best ways for the Board and
Supporting Organizations & Advisory Committees to interact at the ICANN
international meetings.  As the community grows and the issues become more
complex, it has become a greater challenge to find a way to effectively and
efficiently organise this interaction.

In particular, the Board would like to come to a shared understanding of
what Constituency Day should be, with a view to trying out different ways of
interaction during the Constituency Day at next ICANN international meeting
in Sydney..

At present the Constituency Day is organised as follows:  the Board is
divided up and a number of members are assigned to various constituencies
for different amounts of time depending on the constituency.  The idea
behind this approach was to give the Board members an opportunity to listen
to some of the constituency business, not just rely on the question and
answer time with the Board. To prepare for the visit by the Board members,
each constituency is asked to provide a list of topics that they would like
to discuss with the Board.  Some constituencies are better at providing this
than others.   Board Members are assigned to constituencies other than the
one with which they are most familiar.  In addition, the CEO and the Chair
visit all constituencies.  At the end of the day, after all the visits, the
Board comes together and exchanges the views they have heard from the
various groups.

To assist in the discussion about the future of Constituency Day, the Board
would like your thoughts on the following specific questions, by the end of
April. 

1.	What is the goal of having the Board meet with a Supporting
Organization, Constituency, or Advisory Committee during the ICANN meeting? 
2.	What is the best communication method between the Board and a
Supporting Organization,  Constituency or Advisory Committee during the
ICANN meeting? 
3.	How much time is needed for effective communication with the Board? 
4.	Who of the Board should come to such meetings - the CEO & the Chair?
A representative group of board members?  All Board members? 


Thank you for your help in this process.
