[PC-NCSG] ICANN 53 Constituency Day - Seeking Feedback for ICANN board

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi,

trying to summarise the discussion and see what we can reply to the board
as feedback, I think we lost focus on this specific matter and went on
other issues :

*- so there is preference for more meeting with few board members and not
just the Tuesday ritual session. we have that already when meeting  Bruce
and Markus, Wolfgang will be there too and we can have add more meetings
with other board members (2 to 3 individuals) . Moreover, there is also
less interest on cocktails since they don't seem effective (last time in LA
meeting, few board members showed up)*

- the preparation prior to the Dublin meeting and checking/clearing the
questions with Markus is something we already agreed in BA. we will do our
best for preparation while I understand the cynicism and the pessimism. at
least we cannot blame ourselves.

regarding changing speakers during the session,I think that assume several
topics and several volunteers for  them. in BA nobody wanted to volunteer
during the PC session.  I ended reading most of the questions, not really
good.

meeting Board members in 1-to-1 interaction and having better strategy for
that during the meeting is not really related to the Tuesday per se.
However, it is important and I think several NCSG members already interact
with board members when possible . of course we can do more and we should
coordinate better. we should elaborate more concrete actions on how to
improve our engagement.

I think I will share the 1st point and move on. we will continue the
discussion about board engagement strategy in another thread (in addition
to the planning for Dublin meeting and PDP and non-PDP issues planning)

Best.

Rafik
