Fwd: [council] Open Board Sessions 6 and 7 May

[Stephanie Perrin]

I find ICANN is a confusing place, even after over four years tracking 
things. The issue you raise Michael reminds me of something I have been 
meaning to ask....would it be helpful to have Frequently Asked Questions 
up front on each activity/group on the website? There is a great of 
ICANN staff support out there somewhere, and I wonder if we as a 
community should try to focus that support to help us get up to speed 
quickly on a process.  FAQs are good for that, especially if one has not 
checked in on something for a while....and I would be happy to ask for 
them if others might find them helpful.

cheers Stephanie Perrin
