Hi Rafik,,<br>
It is good to know what happened already on this issue. Visibility
is absolutely key and it looks that that has been a successful
initiative. Tx you to all involved! Is there anything more we
could/should do to follow-up on this issue and help further advance
visibility and coordination?<br>
<br>
But I think my issue is different. It has to do with workflow. There
is a lot of ICANN staff, they can support a huge amount of work, and
ICANN is kicking off PDPs, public comments, implementation teams,
review groups, study groups, engagement groups and more at a
prodigious rate - ridiculous really. Even just on the policy side,
it feels like we are in a car, someone has tied the accelerator
down, and we are about to go off a cliff... <br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Kathy<br>

<p dir="ltr">If I can respond partly to that. the issue of
increasing workload was raised more than 1 year ago by SO/AC
leadership with Fadi and VPs like David during their meetings ,
with regard of lack of visibility and coordination of all
ongoing processes with some initiated by staff. Some effort (in
addition to other initiatives on other issues) started to
compile the processes from SO/AC and trying to visualize them
giving an insight about workload.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There was also some presentation in a session in
singapore meeting last year to take community feedback. David
is managing those efforts . So I would expect he will give some
updates about that. He also regularly attends our joint session
with board.<br>
I will try to find the material and share them if it helps.</p>

to talk with them about work flow. ICANN has hired 100 policy
staffers in the last year and has an enormous new capability
for work flow, but we do not. There is no way to keep up with
what is "in the queue" and "coming down the pike."<br>
<br>
I would expressly invite David Olive (as lead of ICANN's
Policy Development Support Team) to be part of this discussion
as well. How do we make the work load reasonable if we want
the volunteer, multistakeholder model to continue? Is it based
on ICANN capacity or stakeholder capacity?<br>

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>
