[ga] RE: Getting items on ICANN's agenda

["Andrew McLaughlin" <mclaughlin@pobox.com>]

Dear Michael:

You sent your notes on agenda items to me <ajm@icann.org> as a series of
questions, carefully disguised under the following header:

"RE: [ga] Final draft of proposed mailing list rules"

I confess I have not yet read your email in detail, as I tend to read
GA-list email once a week or so.  You ought to consider using desciptive
headers.  Personally, I keep track of any comments that are sent to me w/r/t
ICANN's upcoming agendas, and pass them along to the Board when they seem
substantive.  Jonathan Weinberg's comments on membership are already
encompassed by the agenda -- the form, structure, and features of At Large
membership & elections is the top agenda item for Cairo.  As usual, we'll be
opening public comment forums several weeks prior to Cairo, on each of the
matters to be addressed by the Board.

If you don't want your suggestions filtered by me, perhaps you should send
them directly to the Board.

--Andrew

[ Subject: Getting items on ICANN's agenda
[ 
[ 
[ A few days ago -- Wed, Jan 19 to be exact -- I sent a message to a number
[ of addresses including "ajm@icann.org" in which I made some proposals for
[ agenda items for the next Board meeting.  This is the address noted at
[ http://www.icann.org/cairo2000/cairo-details.htm#agenda as being the place
[ to send suggestions.
[ 
[ I have not received an acknowledgement of receipt of this message.
[ 
[ Is it ICANN's policy to acknowledge receipt?  Should I resend my message?
[ 
[ Furthermore, will there be public location in which suggestions will be
[ posted?  Will Board members be informed of all suggestions, or will the
[ agenda be set by some other body?  
[ 
[ I would hate to bother Board members with matters that duplicate what they
[ get anyway; on the other hand if postings to the ajm address are being
[ filtered, I might feel differently.
