      <div dir="ltr">Hello everyone, 
        <div><br>
          I hope you've returned home happy and healthy after our time
          in LA.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>We're behind in communicating our questions/topics to the
          Board for discussion in San Juan. As yet we've had no
          suggestions. Here are three possibilities to seed the
          discussion: </div>
        <div>
          <ul>
            <li>SSR2 - the Board has stated on various recent occasions
              that it has 'learned lessons' from its handling of the
              SSR2-RT pause. What specific lessons have been learned and
              how will these affect future Board action?</li>
            <li>Goals - The Board has asked the various community groups
              to identify their most relevant longer-term goals. What
              are the Board's longer-term goals, in view of budgetary
              and market trends?</li>
            <li>The GNSO Council devoted time in January to strategic
              planning for the year ahead. Taking into account a
              continuously high volume of work and the FY19 budgetary
              pressures, we see the need for and benefit of
              prioritisation. Considering the many activities currently
              underway in ICANN, which do the Board consider to be top
              priority? What milestones or achievements is the Board
              hoping to reach by the end of 2018?</li>
