[council] GA, NC, DNSO ICANN BoD

[Richard Lindsay <richard@interq.ad.jp>]

Greetings,

We will be discussing the role of the GA and the agenda and
chairs of the NC meetings in LA, I wanted to comment on one other
part of the DNSO;  the ICANN Board of Directors elected from
the DNSO.

It seems to me our 3 reps should attend both the GA (in prominent
seats of honor with the GA Chair) and the Names Council meeting.
These 3 critical gentlemen will be effectively clarifying many of
our recommendations to the ICANN board, it makes sense to me
that they are at least present at meetings as observers in NC
meetings.  Obviously they would not vote on any issues in the
NC, but we may want to clarify points with the ICANN board, and
in a way, I expect our BoD reps to be one tool to achieve this.

Similarly I expect our board reps should be active in the GA.
How this works with the chairman/chairmen etc. I am not sure,
but as far as providing some more structure to the GA in the
form of putting together agenda etc., I would think the ICANN
reps might be able to assist the GA chair.

Am if off track here?  I really think we need to clarify some of
these points before the meetings in LA, lest we experience
Santiago all over again.

Best regards,
Richard
