RE: [bc-gnso] Follow up from last week's conference call

[Marilyn Cade <marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Liz. However, I think that we need to get the changes that were 
discussed on the call drafted into a draft charter. Also, there were 
discussions about having staged elections.  The attached proposallooks too much 
like a 'flash cut' or changeover, but without yet having developed the changes 
in the draft Charter. 
At this point, with Seoul so close, it doesn't seem reasonable to expect to get 
everything done but we should have a redraft on the charter with changes 
discussed for consideration before Seoul.
Since there are so few attendees from the BC in Seoul, I would like to have 
more discussion before hand, perhaps even with a cross constituency 
participation, so that everyone in the membership of the three groups has a 
good understanding of the proposed CSG. 
I don't think that a 'flash' cut with everyone being elected all at one time, 
especially for two years,can work out. We need more involvement from a broader 
set of members to discuss the changesand reach agreement on a charter for the 
BC, as well as understanding what the CSG is going to do, and how it will be 
supported.
Realizing that Gary is leaving shortly, and will be greatly missed, it seems 
also time to have a briefing from the ICANN staff regarding staff support 
options
