These are my recommendations for the Draft ICANN President's Strategy Committee 
Report:


[mark appropriate box with an X]


1. LEGAL STATUS AND IDENTITY


Encourages the ICANN Board to explore with the US government, other
governments, and the ICANN community, whether there are advantages and
appropriate mechanisms for moving ICANN's legal identity to that of a
private international organization based in the US.

2. REGIONAL PRESENCE

remain in the US, it needs to continue to establish and strengthen
regional presences, staffing and continue regional outreach.

and simplifying the root-zone update process. NOTE: see proposal for

and appropriate backstop mechanisms as expressed in ICANN's
existing contingency plan.

Many thanks to Rudi, Hallam and Stephane for commenting on the 
recommendations of the ICANN President's Strategy Committee.

They are posted here: http://forum.icann.org/lists/psc/

If you would like to weigh in on the recommendations please do send the 
below form by email to me or to psc@xxxxxxxxx by close of business 
tomorrow.

We'd love to hear from you and the form should just take a moment to 
complete.

Hallam also suggested that we do short and sweet briefings on this stuff 
in the future to give some background and context. I think it's a great 
idea and we are working on that here. Unfortunately those things take 
time and resources to pull together and we haven't always the time to 
draft them. Despite its lumbering presence Internationally ICANN has a 
small staff stretched pretty thin.

What's great about getting comments like Hallam's is that it helps us 
make the business case for being more responsive and communicative.

cheers, Jacob.
