Relatedly, I got wind of a recent "Call For NCPH Working Group on
Comprehensive Structural Reform of ICANN", but I don't know much more about
it, who's driving it, and its relationship to the above mentioned report
that was roundly criticized as flawed. I'd like to know the board's opinion
on undertaking structural reform (particularly the NCPH) at this time, its
justification for that, and if/how staff is being directed to undertake the
effort.

All in a collegial manner, of course.

Thanks,

Brenden
