NCSG: Summary notes from call with Goran Marby Jan31

[Amr Elsadr]

Hi Stephanie,

Thanks for this. One of the bullet points under topic 2 (Multi-Stakeholder Model) stood out to me:

“The Contracted Parties did not necessarily support having NCSG (or other non-contracted parties) participate on an equal basis in the EPDP.”

Would you mind elaborating on this? Who said this, and is there any background to it that we should be aware of?

Thanks again.

Amr

These were provided by ICANN staff, and are very high level.  Feedback on what should be discussed in the next call, which will take place sometime between ICANN 64 and ICANN 65, would be appreciated.  I would draw to your attention:

This was in my view not a particularly informative call on either side, I will prepare my own briefing note to send ahead with a discussion of our key concerns the next time; it is not a particularly relaxed conversation so more formal preparation is clearly needed on my part.
