Dear Kathy and all, I agree we need to establish a meeting agenda and
this should help in defining priorities regarding funding attendees, but
I think this discussion must be with everyone in the NCUC, not just the
Exec Comm. However, if the Exec Comm wants to be proactive on this, it
might as well put forward ASAP a proposal.

I am particularly worried about the overall ICANN strategies and
processes -- we could call it a transition crisis --, while the NCUC is
mostly enclosed within a GNSO-related agenda.
