Seeing no other comments besides the proposal of adding 5th
question about travel funding from Raoul, which I won't do
for reasons already noted, I will send the questions in now
without further changes.

> 1. Does the Board continue to agree with Fadi Chehade's position of

> (published by Alan Grogan, ICANN's Chief Contract Compliance Officer)?
> Does the Board share our concerns that arrangements like the
> MPAA-Donuts agreement are deeply inappropriate for the Domain Name
> System?
> 
> 2. In the Whois Complaint process, anonymous people can make
> complaints that he data is inaccurate and in some cases cause trouble
> for innocent registrants. Why doesn't ICANN ever investigate whether
> these allegations are intended to harass or intimidate registrants or
> are made for anti-competitive reasons?
> 
> 3. How does the Board expect the the new complaint system to work when
> it puts ICANN legal, whose job is to protect the corporation from
> complainers whether they are right or wrong, in charge of managing
> complaints? Has the Board considered how it affects the independence
> of the Ombudsman? As an example of our concerns, why there were no
> repercussions for the abuses of TLD evaluation procedures in the Dot
> Registry case?
> 
> 4. Following up on the discussion between the NCSG and the Board at
> the Marrakech meeting (ICANN55), we are very interested to hear what
> steps the Board is taking in relation to human rights in addition to
> the ongoing accountability processes. What efforts have been made and
> what activities are planned in relation to human rights and ICANN's
> policy processes as well as ICANN the organization?
