Would be good if we could come up with a positive agenda item as
well - something we can work with the Board on, perhaps? Or is
there something positive that we want to update the Board on?<br>

<div>Hi Seun,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I understand what you are saying and agree in part with it.
WE should always be civil and respectful. I'd like to know
what the Board thinks, though, not what ICANN Legal thinks. If
you give them enough detail in advance my experience suggests
they just will parrot what Legal tells them to say. It's only
when we catch them by surprise, as Robin did last meeting,
that any useful information comes out. And, yes - given that
Board members now receive a stipend equal to yearly wages for
many people in the world, I want to know if they actually know
the issues without too much preparation. We have some
fantastic Board members, we also have some tourists. This is
an opportunity to sort who belongs in each category.</div>

<p dir="ltr">Hi,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Is the goal to catch them by surprise and then
show to the world that they are not capable board members OR
to have them prepared to provide responses that we can
hopefully hold them accountable on.</p>

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