Dear Azucena, I agree that we need to have a procedure to ensure that the PSO reporting to ICANN is better prepared and not just hope that someone spots the need and prepares something. However I am not so sure that your idea to report to ICANN on achievements of the four standards bodies is required or would be welcome. Such reporting is appropriate for the PSO GA but the audience at the ICANN public meetings would not be interested in such details. The other two supporting organisations are much more involved at the ICANN proceedings as their role is firmly in the scope of ICANN discussions but our role is mainly advisory and the details of our standards work would be of little interest to the ICANN attendee unless it is firmly connected to the naming and numbering issues. However this is just my view. Let's discuss it on the 21st. Brian.
