I would add some GNSO-related issues such as Whois, .pro and IDNs.

More generally speaking, could ALAC members please send to the list any
discussion item that they would like to see addressed in Mar del Plata,
let's say by next Wednesday? We will then do some agenda bashing at the
start of our meetings.

Also, I'm wondering how many of us will already be there by Sunday noon.
I think we could try to have a short meeting (for example to discuss the
agenda) just after the end of our Regional Workshop, at 5pm, possibly
followed by a dinner together. Only three members will be missing this
time, and I think it's important that we use this chance to socialize.

Finally, I've received a proposal from the NCUC about the agenda of our
joint meeting:

> - Civil society in WGIG and in ICANN
> - ALAC-NCUC jointly as civil society, GNSO structuring, voting rights
> - ICANN's strategic plan
> - Significance of WGIG for ICANN

Comments? I think it's more or less what I had in mind.
