<p><font size="+1">I have a call with the CEO and his policy team on June 13, and I need to send the questions I would like to discuss rather soon, so that they can prepare. Please let me know what you think we should discuss. I am focused on the work that
Brian Cute is leading on the reform of the multi-stakeholder model, so that is certainly an issue I would like to raise. I would also like to discuss the problem of getting our members knowledgeable enough about ICANN procedures and policy issues, that they
can participate confidently in the PDPs and on Council. Bruna, Louise and I are planning to have a summary of the results of our little survey on engagement (please fill that survey out if you have not already done so, we only have 31 responses so far).

<p><font size="+1">We have three hours for our NCSG session in ICANN65, and I need to finalize the agenda. I am focusing on our own internal discussions on what is going on, rather than having a steady stream of guests speaking to us. There are four High
Interest Topic (HIT) sessions that will brief us on topics, I think we should plan to discuss our own views on the policy issues we face. However, I am eager to hear what you think and shape the agenda as you wish.</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Please let me know your views.</font></p>
