FW: [bc-gnso] Notes form GAC-GNSO joint meeting
This briefing is an update that is available to be distributed, as you chose,
by the ISP and IPC representatives.
I have provided a briefing on the breakfast because of the mutual interest,
even for those who are not here in person.
secondly, we have confirmed business guests, and I've cc'd them as they are
invited tothe breakfast, and all other sessions.
For others who are inviting guests, I need the names from you for seat
assignments. See request for onsite assistance to place the seating cards and
make last minute adjustments and assist in on site hosting. I also need
'volunteer sherpas' to take care of the special guests and we are likely to be
asking that of you on site. ===============================================
UPDATE ON BREAKFAST -- CROSS CONSTITUENCY BREAKFAST WITH BOARD AND SENIOR STAFF
AND GUESTS FROM SG 'SECTORS'
Please arrive a little eary to be sure you are in the room by 7:50 a.m. since
the Board and staff and guests will arrive at 8 a.m. The Breakfast will end at
9:45 a.m.
there are there topics for the breakfast -- the third was collaboratively
developed with Peter Dengate Thrush on Saturday.
Remember that there are a number of non member guests -- some from ISPs,
including from India and Kenya and AfrISPA. A few of our local Business guests
from the Computer Society of Kenya from Sunday's dinner will join Waudo
Siganga, our WITSA member of the BC. This breakfast is intended to be a
dialogue between people, and the Board has repeatedly told me, as has the
Chair, that they wish to listen and to have a dialogue.
I want to mention to all of you remote participants that although the Board did
have a competing commitment with the GNSO policy council dinner, Peter Dengate
Thrush, Chair, accepted the invitation from Waudo and me to bring some of the
Board members to the Reception and to make remarks, with the other Board
members and the ICANN staff starting the dinner with the GNSO Policy
Councilors. The V.Chair of the Policy Council graciously met with Peter and me
to collaborate on that arrangement.
the Board who came were thrilled to meet the local business community and their
enthusiam for theort of our local BC member, and the support that we provided
was very well received and several board members congratulated me for the
initiative of the BC. Since the "tool kit" of services and support by staff to
enable us to focus more on outreach and recruitment is on our agenda for
discussion with the Board during the breakfast, we can expect a more receptive
and interested 'ear' and attitude to our desire to do more ourselves but with
appropriate ICANN support to our efforts to grow and enhance the participation,
overall in the CSG's constituencies.
SEATING: There will be a sort of rough allocation of assigned seats, with my
effort to put new people with one or two 'sherpa', that is a seasoned member of
one of the constituencies/or two, who will join them at their table with the
Board/Staff and ensure that everyone gets introduced, socializes a bit, etc.
STAY TUNED TO GET AN ASSIGNMENT.
I am inviting Steve DelBianco, Tony Harris and need one more volunteer to help
with distributing the seating assignments. You will need to arrive at 7:15
a.m. at the Venue.
The room for the breakfast will be distributed shortly, as soon as I get it
from ICANN.
THREE TOPICS for table discussion: Some board members and staff will be
leaving at 9 and 9:30 a.m. for other commitments. There will be non members
[potential members] at each table. After the breakfast, please escort these
folks into the CSG meeting, if they are available to join us. I would ask that
the 'sherpas' play a bit of a introductory role to your colleagues, as needed.
1. AFFIRMATION OF COPMMITMENTS/IN THE LIGHT OF IMPROVING INSTITUTIONAL
CONFIDENCE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF ICANN'S ACTING IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST

this is not merely looking to the GAC, but understanding that this is a basic
foundational principle to ICANN]

with Marilyn Cade as a topic of beneficial overarching relevance to the three
constituencies and to ICANN.-to prepare for this discussion, please review the
Strategic Plan/Operational Plan references to ICANN's related activities.
