                    <br>
                    Hi All,<br>
                    As we know there are many changes coming for the
                    role of the GNSO with our new accountability powers,
                    I want to call out the following item on the council
                    agenda for Helsinki<br>
                    <br>
                  </span>    * Item 5: COUNCIL VOTE - Approval to Form a
                  Drafting Team to Develop an Implementation Plan for
                  New and Additional GNSO Powers and Obligations under
                  the Revised ICANN Bylaws (15 minutes)<br>
                  <div>
                    <div><br>
                      I have to say that I am concerned about this, this
                      is a critical item for the GNSO and will set its
                      strategic view and position for the next 5-7 years
                      most likely, I don’t fee very comfortable with
                      this being done in a potentially top down manner
                      by council, I feel that this should be developed
                      in a bottom up manner by the SGs and C’s first.<br>
                      <br>
                      <br>
                      I would be interested in others thoughts so that
                      we can guide the PC on a position on this<br>
                      <br>
                      <br>
