<p><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">As you know, I posted on this list a call for input for the questions I will discuss with Goran at our one on one. The deadline was today, so I came up with the following questions, with help from various folks
offline. Of course, theoretically I could raise other issues in conversation if there are things you have thought of recently.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center" align="center"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center" align="center"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family:Cambria;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:Cambria;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin" lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US">We understand that you wished to kickstart the phase two discussion of the so-called unified access model.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>However , we do feel that the way the TSG report and process was created sideswipes the bylaws mandated GNSO policy process.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>It also contains a number of policy assumptions which have not been agreed via the bottom up MS process as required by ICANNs bylaws.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:18.0pt"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0

</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US">GNSO is working on PDP 3.0 implementation, and the entire community is still waiting for the approval of workstream 2 accountability recommendations, to reform the MS model.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Doesn’t the work that Brian Cute is doing potentially lead to the same result, an undercutting of community processes?
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family:Cambria;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:Cambria;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin" lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US">We care about the reputation of ICANN, as a multistakeholder model.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>We think there is a need for transparency that meets the kind of standards which western democracies have demonstrated through FOI legislation.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:72.0pt;mso-add-space:
auto;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">

</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US">You have more than once said, ICANN is not a regulator.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>That is true but we see no reason for less accountability and transparency.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left:72.0pt;mso-add-space:auto;
text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family:Cambria;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:Cambria;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin" lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">b.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US">Given the budget cuts on the community, and recent bad press about the growth of ICANN staff despite falling revenues, do you have plans to improve transparency in the internal budget process? As an example, we would
very much like more transparency on the portion of the budget on policy development. Currently, you only have one figure covering the whole budget for policy development across all SOs and ACs. We would like to regularly see a lot more details on this, with
a breakdown for each budget for each SO and AC. The policy development budget is about 5% of ICANN's total budget too, which strikes us as very low given this is our core business.</span></p>

</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US">We know we have occasionally annoyed you.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>How can we improve our relationship, without sacrificing our critical analysis of this highly important MS process?</span></p>
