I would strongly encourage us to ask questions that: a) are forward-looking, and give us an opportunity to shape agendas and perceptions on things that are not already finished b) involve requests for things that the board or staff could actually deliver for us Any ideas about that?

Are there any requests regarding the implementation process for the CCWG recommendations that will help us make sure things don't go off track? Are there any committees that we can ask to be on? Can we ask them about the impending GNSO review and whether they agreed with our assessment of the biased Westlake report?

Dear all, One regular event at ICANN meetings is that we get to meet the Board, talk with them about and ask them whatever we want. The Board would, however, like to know in advance what we're going to ask them, so they could better prepare for it. If you have suggestions for topics for our meeting with the Board in Marrakech, please let me know as soon as possible (feel free to post to the list or me directly, as you prefer). Thank you, -- Tapani Tarvainen.
