Here's a Policy Calendar for the BC member call on 6-Mar-2014.

Channel 1. BC participation in ICANN Public Comment process:

opportunities below:

Privacy/Proxy Accreditation:   We had no volunteers to handle questions from a 
PDP working group on Accreditation of Privacy & Proxy services under the new 
RAA.  Deadline was Friday, so I responded for the BC with previous positions 
and new questions (not positions).    See my response 
(link<http://www.bizconst.org/Positions-Statements/Position%20PDP%20WG%20On%20Accreditation%20of%20Privacy%20and%20proxy%20services.pdf>),
 and please volunteer for this WG and/or attend session in Singapore on an 
issue that’s vital to BC members.
