<p>Hi folks, I know we are all suffering from zoom fatigue and prep
fatigue and webinar ennui....but we need to send in our topics for
the NCSG discussion with the ICANN Board. What would you like to
discuss, and would you like several questions or one topic?
Please note that their chosen single topic is:</p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;margin-right:1.0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt">Enhancing the effectiveness of
the Multistakeholder model: key issues and opportunities for
acceleration. In your preparation you may want to consider the
results of the most recent public consultation, and work that
has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the
effectiveness of the MSM (such as the ATRT3 report and work on
prioritization and budgeting). <br>
</span></li>
</ul>
<p>We need to muster our collective thoughts on that rather
wide-ranging topic, so I would be grateful for a number of talking
points and subtopics on that question.</p>
<p>Let us kick off the discussion now, we have a couple of weeks to
prepare but I would like to propose a deadline of October 1.</p>
<p>Kind regards</p>
<p>Stephanie Perrin</p>
<p>NCSG Chair<br>
</p>
