[governance] Upcoming OC meeting in Geneva May 13: IGC agenda?

[Ian Peter]

Hi Ginger,

As discussed offlist, I'm not going to be able to make it this time, but
will try to participate remotely as best I can.

I think one thing we could agree on as a brief statement is that if EU
proposes its model during the OC, we could state that civil society, while
looking towards an ICANN free of the JPA, has concerns about the specific
model being proposed by EU. I think that reflects our thinking at this
stage. 


But I wouldn't bring it up unless it is raised by EU or others.
