>Hello Fadi,
>
>Facilitated by the Council, the GNSO has today discussed our planned
>meetings with Theresa, you, the GDD and the ICANN Board tomorrow.
>
>We will be meeting with you immediately ahead of our meeting with
>Theresa and you have been copied into the note describing the
>desired scope of the discussion and issues arising.
>
>What we would like to cover with you is anything you may wish to
>pick up on what we have discussed with Theresa on but specifically,
>three issues:
>
>1. ICANN "Community Issues"
>a. Undue pressure being placed on the community e.g.
>timeframes being set too fast for public comment
>b. This is connected with a pervasive sense of Workload /
>Burnout combined with a concern for lack of volunteer recognition /
>support / reward
>c. The above points lead to a concern about the effective
>current functioning of "the model" and the associated consequences
>of such failings
>2. ICANN Organisational Performance / Operational Excellence
>(Gap between community expectations and actual experience)
>a. From - Registries & NTAG
>b. From - Registrars (inc ICANN Website, RADAR DB)
>c. N.B. This is perceived to be not only a GNSO issue but one
>that impacts everything that ICANN does
>Operational excellence and perceived excellence will affect our
>ability to provide the critical "defence" of the organisation
>3. A letter has been sent to a 3rd party dispute resolution
>provider (ICDR).
>a. What's the rationale?
>
>b. Concern is that it is a form of political expediency
>overriding accountability?
>Thank-you for agreeing to meet with us and for considering this
>detailed input.
>
>Best wishes,
