Chuck,

This is the first time I have heard the DNSO referred to as "outreach". I
thought that we were the ones responsible for doing the outreach, as part of
formulating policy recommendations, not the subject of it, for somebody else
to evaluate and formulate the recommendations.

Allow me to rephrase the questions you didn't answer. This is not a test,
it's an inquiry. Do you think that as part of bottom-up ICANN consensus
development, that the NC and/or Constituencies and/or the GA should consider
involving non-members, such as public interest organizations, assimilating
and deliberating on their reports prior to making policy recommendations? If
so, which part of the DNSO is best qualified to undertake this task? Also,
do you think that the DNSO should develop and implement a policy for
outreach to attract new participants into the bottom-up ICANN consensus
development process for reasons of reducing the limitations of the currently
small subset of participants? If so, how can we tackle this without funding?
 

Regards,
Joanna
