>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,
