[gnso-raa-b] Scheduling RAA Subteam BG Session in Brussels

[Margie Milam <Margie.Milam@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi-

Following up on issues raised on today's call, the drafting team discussed two 
different approaches for addressing the RAA Amendments  topics in Brussels.     
 The drafting team is considering either (i) a standard GNSO type workshop, 
where the Initial Report would be reviewed with those interested in the topic, 
or (ii) a large cross-supporting organization session, where the SO/ACs can 
participate and share their perspective, including as one of the topics, 
inviting law enforcement and GAC representatives to explain their support for 
the LEA amendment topics, and having Registrars explain their concerns with 
some of the LEA proposals.    If this sub-team supports the approach in (ii), 
we would attempt to schedule this on Monday of the ICANN meeting to gather 
maximum cross-SO/AC participation.     Adopting (ii) would be intended to serve 
as a forum to respond to the GAC's endorsement of the LEA amendments, as well 
as the significant  press that has been focused on the LEA related requests.

The participants on today's call supported (ii) but wanted to get broader input 
 from those unable to participate on today's call.     If you have a preference 
on this issue, please respond to the list.

Thanks,
Margie
