Not a question for the Board, but I am wondering if we should ask or write to Göran about this letter which he sent the Commercial Stakeholder Group last week. At a minimum, I think we should make it clear that we would like to be involved in “establish[ing this] criteria”. 

"We acknowledge the concerns you expressed regarding the HIT session on DNS and Content Regulation in Hyderabad, and we will be working with SO/AC Leadership to establish criteria for inclusion of Cross-Community Topics (HITs) on future meeting schedules.
We also note your concern about the session, Cross-Community Discussion with Data Protection Commissioners, to be held in Copenhagen. This session was added as a Cross-Community Topic (HIT) after receiving broad support from SO/AC Leadership, most notably, the GAC, GNSO, and ALAC."

Hi Kathy,

Yes, that's right. I think we should come up with about three questions,
there won't be time for more.
