Dear colleagues,

There are two questions that the Board would like to discuss with the NCSG.
Do we have volunteers to kickstart our response?

We are as well taking this opportunity to share with you the Board
questions for your group, for discussion during this meeting .

QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD TO THE NCSG:

   1. Diversity is considered to be a challenge in ICANN. How is your SO/AC
   doing with regard to enhancing diversity in all its dimensions? What can
   ICANN do to support that effort?
   2. What is your feedback on the final report of the CCWG on
   Accountability?

Thanks!
Marília
