ICANN São Paulo meeting site

So we're here in Sao Paulo.

Today the Board we met in committees during the morning. Most of the Board's committees don't meet between the in-person meetings. I'm hoping to change this for the committees I'm on. This practice means that we have to spend quite a bit of time during the regular ICANN meetings doing committee work.

Then we met as a Board (plus staff) for the afternoon. This was a meeting devoted to listing (but not ranking) priorities for 2007 -- the priorities were things you'd expect, like the new gTLD process, IDNs, and improving transparency.

We also spent some time on internal Board machinations -- who's leading, who's on what committee. There's a steep learning curve for brand new board members and we have two of them who started this week.
