<div dir="ltr">Milton is right about the (lack of) process. On the one hand, it is positive that we have someone we trust there. On the other hand, it does seem that they are including who they want and how they want, totally disregarding the serious process we have been conducting to appoint names.<div>
<br></div><div>I think that a letter signed by all organizations that participated in the nomination process should be sent to ICANN and ideally read during the meeting, expressing our frustration and adding some concrete suggestions. I come back to the points I made earlier:</div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div>- the agenda of the HL panel meetings should be publicized in advance</div><div>- channels to receive inputs (procedural or substantive) should be created or clarified</div>
<div>- their meetings should be open to observers (like the meetings of the CSTD ECWG)</div><div>- Reports of the meetings should be published. They could follow Chatam House rules</div><div>And</div><div>- CS representatives (names), who were appointed following an internal and legitimate process carried out by CS, should be immediately included in the HL panel to ensure minimum CS representation.</div>

Especially given that there was in fact a coordinated civil society<br>
process through which names have been put forward.<br>
