[council] upcoming teleconference thursday september 21


after watching the opening ceremonies of the games in sydney, let me say
 
G'DAY FELLOW MEMBERS.....
 
as you are all aware, we have a scheduled teleconference set up for september 21st . 
 
i have had very little input from the names council members regarding prosp[ective agenda items and considering the fact that we have just come off summer holidays and their usual distractions. i will pose a question to all of you..
 
would it not be more effective to re-schedule the 21st teleconference to the 28th  at 08:30 usa eastern time (this time provides for somewhat practical hours for all attendees) ?
 
this would give us an opportunity to review the reports of the budget committee and , hopefully a rough draft of proposed DNSO review committee methodology. it would also give us more time for reflection and the opportunity to provide more constructive suggestions to the members of that committee as well.
 
we also have the task of looking more closely at how to more effectively involve the individual internet users in the policy formation process. their have been suggestions that a working group be formed in this area but, frankly, to this point , i have heard very little from the other council members, (beside YJ), on exactly how to deal with this process more effectively.
 
it is primarily for these reasons that i am suggesting that we put off the teleconference for 1 week and re-schedule the conference to september 28th.
 
i really need your input on this request and will assume that if i do not hear any significant "human cry" against this suggestion that you are comfortable with same.
 
here are some thoughts for agenda items for the proposed teleconference:
 
1. current financial status
2. plans for november icann meeting (rooms, webcast, finances etc)
3. budget committee report
4. intake committee report
5. discussion on DNSO review methodology
6. potential future individual constituancy involvment
 
i have had no other suggestions for agenda items from anyone.. any thoughts here ?
 
please get back to me in the next day or two (i assume most of you review your mail over the weekends)
 
thanks and looking for your input
 
best wishes
 
ken
