[At-Large] Agenda for Wed/Thu Board meeting

[Wendy Seltzer]

Here's the agenda for this week's board meeting:
<http://www.icann.org/minutes/prelim-report-19mar08.htm>

I have already requested that ALAC's communication to the Board on
domain name holds be considered under "other business."   I'd also like
to raise registrant and user concerns relating to enforcement for
addition to the Riga Workshop Agenda.

If the group has comments on the GNSO improvements beyond what has
circulated on the list, I'd be glad to know.

Proposed agenda for the 27/28 March 2008 Special Meeting of the Board:

    1) Approval of Regular Board Meeting Minutes from New Delhi Meeting

    2) Discussion of Mid-term Review of the Joint Project Agreement
between NTIA and ICANN

    3) Discussion of NeuStar and Afilias AGP Modification Proposals

    4) Update Discussion on New gTLDs

    5) Update Discussion on GNSO Improvements

    6) Update Discussions on various Bylaws-Mandated Reviews

    7) Update Discussion on Meetings and Budget Issues

    8) Update Discussion on Paris ICANN Meeting

    9) President’s Report

    10) Discussion of Riga Board Workshop Agenda

    11) Briefing on Budget and Management Process Reporting

    12) Other Business


note also:

C) Extension of Comment Period for Report of the Board Governance
Committee GNSO Review Working Group on GNSO Improvements – The Committee
acknowledged receipt of a comment from Philip Sheppard on behalf of: The
Commercial and Business Users, the Intellectual Property, and the
Internet Service and Connection Providers constituencies requesting a
30-day extension of the comment period to 25 April 2008.

The Committee engaged in a detailed discussion about the rationale for
the request for extension and agreed unanimously (of all attending) to
the following resolution:

Resolved (__), the Executive Committee hereby extends the public comment
period on the “Comment Period for Report of the Board Governance

extension to have sufficient time to provide to the ICANN Board their
proposal, including the details of the consultations and nature of the
support that they have gathered; and, ii) to allow time for an
additional call to the community to file submissions relating to all
aspects of the posted report.
