<p><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">Fair enough, Rafik.
But what do you want to talk to him about, prospects for world
peace? I do think that workload management is certainly a
concern for the CEO, because he is directing the staff who
support us, he is setting their objectives and goals, and we
are the raw material they are working with, as the volunteers
thrown into the process to produce output.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">We had an excellent
meeting with the Board in San Juan, let's try to continue that
conversation and figure out how we can maximize the support
that staff give us.</font></font></p>

<p><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">PS I found the Berlin
group report, buried as feedback on the models. But I still
want that librarian to assist us in finding documents, and the
archivist to ensure the documents are actually there!!</font></font><br>

<div>I have feeling we can guess right now his answer as he
wrote in this blog post (<a
href="https://www.icann.org/news/blog/budget-discussions-at-icann61"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.icann.org/news/blog/budget-discussions-at-icann61</a>)
saying that he will come back with paper about reviews and
also mentioned the PDP . I doubt there will be any new
answer on this, as he also talked about during Puerto rico
meeting.</div>
<div>tbh I am wondering why we would ask the CEO on those
matter. some workload is self-inflected as we are still
not doing a better "program management" and
prioritization, and functioning with "wishful thinking"
management. There are some work intiated by ICANN and
board that can be reprioritized and put less burden on us.</div>
<div>there is some irony as those issues have a feeling od
deja-vu as they were matter of discussion with Fadi and
SO/AC leaders few years ago and there was some attempt at
that time....</div>
