I didn't mean that we go line by line or approve anything in the call - 
just briefly discuss whether this is useful and how to deal with its 
development, as some people in San Juan suggested that this could be a 
good idea.

Also, about the agenda, I'm all with you for establishing some advance 
deadline for proposing issues for the call. However, this is not how we 
have been working - for example, good part of the last call (the June 
one) was occupied by an agenda item that was raised just two hours 
before the call. This is quite typical at ICANN - for example, Board 
members often get additional items and supporting 50-page documents less 
than 24 hours in advance of the meeting. Since May, the Board is asking 
the staff to submit whatever issue and document at least seven days in 
advance of the meeting, or else defer it to the next one; we might want 
to adopt the same principle.
