Topics to Discuss with the Board at ICANN67: CaNCUN

[Sam Lanfranco]

Raoul, 
That might be a good idea but keep two things in mind. The first is that
the ICANN Board is the main decision maker here. I am keen to hear from
them since there are clearly lessons to be learned by the Board. The second
is that while the Board makes the decision here (with/without stakeholder
consusltation???) Göran's team would probably take the lead in figuring
out draft language for proposed changes to the registry contract, changes
that would make the sale more "public interest" friendly, no matter who the
buyer is. Göran might have views on the first issue (Board learning) but
should have more focused comments in the second issue.

I wonder if this would also be worth asking at 1on1 with Göran on Monday?
It seems by far the biggest issue right now and it might be useful to get
different views from different parts of the administration. I think the
second hottest issue should perhaps be Verisign trying to shorten their
moratorium on raising prices and this kind of trend, where ICANN is
facilitating raising prices on using the legacy TLDs, making it less
accessible and free.

I would like to suggest that the following topic be considered for a
discussion with the ICANN Board.
	* What lessons have been learned by stakeholders and the Board in the
matter of the proposed sale of PIR and the .org registry?
I pose the question because I believe that how the process has been handled
constitutes a real threat to ICANN's reputation, and viability, as a
multistakeholder organization.
