[ALAC] Topics for the ALAC-Board meeting

[Alan Greenberg]

The topics that we supplied to them were:

    * CCWG Accountability - if necessary based on status at the time 
of the Board-ALAC meeting
    * Sensitive New gTLDs - GAC Category 1, Safeguards 1-8
    * Budget issues:
        * Multi-year GA and Summit planning
        * Annual "special" requests we should not have to make
    * New Meeting Strategy - issues and suggestions
    * Consumer Trust

The 2nd sub-bullet on budgets is a combination of the special request 
we made to bypass ICANN bureaucracy (not being able to use approved 
budget flexibly and having to beg to have adequate translation tools) 
and the issue of having to make a "special" request to train leaders 
and have them work effectively.

The Board has, for the first time in several years, raised issues for 
our input.

    * Diversity is considered to be a challenge in ICANN. How is your 
SO/AC doing with regard to enhancing diversity in all its dimensions? 
What can ICANN do to support that effort?
    * What is your feedback on the final report of the CCWG on Accountability?

Clearly the 2nd one overlaps with our first bullet.

We will spend some time on the weekend discussing how we will address 
these issues.

Alan
