[council] Fw: [ncdnhc-discuss] No new LA agenda

["YJ Park" <yjpark@myepark.com>]

Council members,

NCDNHC members have discussed "ICANN's Changed Agenda" for
upcoming LA meeting.

It was noticed that there were some messages concerning in overrided
ICANN agenda by ICANN staff without community consultation or mission
creep and some messages supporting ICANN's changes which was
the result of the recent terror attack in the States.

Even though I sympathize with the knee-jerk response to the recent
tragedy in the States, I also believe that ICANN should function as
"International Body" as designed and missioned when it was created.

Lastly, I want to introduce one of majority views expressed in NCDNHC
below which is worth considering.

Thanks,
YJ
