Dear Friends

I think Milton is spot on with this:

As a veteran of many of these sessions, I want us to avoid wasting time and just generating animosity. 
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? 
For this reason I would like to propose a question on if the Board agrees on the need for greater "Awareness and Capacity Building for Broader and Deeper Engagement in ICANN Policy and for a Secure and Stable DNS", and if yes, what are the parameters under which this should be implemented.

Yours

Klaus

E.g., is there are request we can make regarding the RDS (Whois) process that would position us better?
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? Things of that sort

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,
