RE: [gnso-consensus-wg] GNSO consensus working group for GNSO Council restructuring

[<tony.ar.holmes@xxxxxx>]

All

Regarding the face to face meeting I'd like to support the proposal for the 
weekend 12 -13 July, although I could also make the 11th if that helps. We all 
have busy schedules and I'm sure meeting during the normal working week would 
always prove problematical for somebody, so this seems a good way forward and 
the timing fits well with the time we have available to complete this task.

I'd also like to suggest that we send a joint letter to the GAC expressing a 
wish that they engage in such an important process. It would also be helpful to 
us to have a neutral and fresh opinion, as well as helping to build a better 
relationship for the future. Guess it may also be beneficial if we could 
encourage some GAC reps to engage with us at the same time as we send the note.

Regards

Tony

Subject: [gnso-consensus-wg] GNSO consensus working group for GNSO Council 
restructuring 


Dear All,

A new mailing list  <gnso-consensus-wg@xxxxxxxxx> (there are no public 
archives) has been created for the group instructed by the ICANN Board to 
resolve the issue of  restructuring the GNSO Council.
*     One representative from the current NomCom appointees - Avri Doria,
*     One member from each constituency:
   Philip Sheppard - CBUC
   Steve Metalitz - IPC
   Tony Holmes - ISPCPC
   NCUC still awaiting name
   Jon Nevett - Registrars
   Chuck Gomes - Registries
*     One member from each liaison-appointing advisory committee (if that 
advisory committee so desires)
      Alan Greenberg - ALAC (still to be confirmed)
     The GAC Chair has advised the ICANN Board that it is unlikely that the GAC 
will provide a representative to the working group, but has nevertheless sent a 
message to the GAC list to see if there is any interest.

The Board said the group should reach consensus and submit a consensus 
recommendation on GNSO Council restructuring back to the Board by no later than 
Friday, 25 July 2008. The Board then expects to consider the working group 
recommendation as soon as possible, but no later than it's meeting in August. 
That meeting is currently scheduled for 28 August 2008.

Please let me know at your earliest convenience dates that would be work for 
you for a face to face meeting. Dates that have been suggested so far are 12-13 
July (a week-end).

With the USA 4 July holiday weekend, please give an indication of the first 
possible date for a teleconference. Wednesday 2 July has been suggested, but 
does not work for Tony Holmes and Chuck Gomes.

Thank you very much.
Kind regards,

Glen
