 *Purpose (Brief):* This discussion document is posted at the request of
the Board Governance Committee to solicit views from the ICANN community on
ways to enhance the process by which the Board seeks advice from the ICANN
community beyond the traditional public comment process. This issue stems
from the work undertaken by Staff in fulfillment of recommendation No. 6
from the Accountability and Transparency Review Team, and highlights an
area where improvements can lead to predictability and consistency for
future Board actions. A session is scheduled in Toronto to explore this
important issue with the broader ICANN community.  *Public Comment Box Link:
