Note that the ALAC sessions are preliminary (and have likely already changed since Tanzanika's version). Given what we now know about the rest of the schedule, they will now be adjusted. Alan

Hi All,

The latest schedule is attached and updated on the <https://community.icann.org/display/ccmeetschedplan/Meeting+Schedule+Planning>community wiki page.

Block Schedule

In an effort to increase the time you have available to meet, I made a few changes to the block schedule format (some of which you may have already noticed in the last version that went out) :

- The afternoon coffee break has been reduced to 15 min - Day now ends at 1830 instead of 1800 and all afternoon time slots are 90 min - Lunch is scheduled from 1200-1330 daily, however a minimum of just 60 min is required, therefore you have the option to schedule morning sessions through 12:30 if needed.

Slight changes to some of your session times have also been made to match the available time blocks and breaks, but given the above option, you may want to make further adjustments to take advantage of the additional time offered.

Proposed Layout for CC Topic Sessions

I believe the consensus for the cross-community discussions in the afternoons is for these to be topic based sessions for any SO/AC - type [2] as described in Patrik’s email. One SO/AC is the host/leader for each session, and these have been identified on the latest draft of the schedule. Staff is reaching out to session leaders to collect description/agenda details for each topic and we will share those on this thread as soon as they become available.

To Donna’s question below about CCWG and ICANN Accountability – I’ve noted ASO as a potential leader for this topic, but interest came from ASO, ALAC, and ccNSO. Please share any thoughts you might have on the intent for this topic, and ultimately, who will host the discussion.

Evening Activities

We started to receive a number of requests for cocktails in the evenings. In the spirit of cross community interaction and networking opportunities, we’ve decided the best approach is to have a reception for all delegates every evening.

Monday: 1830-2000 Local Host Reception (Location: City Hall) Tuesday: 1830-1930 President’s Reception Wednesday: 1830-1930 Chairman’s Reception Thursday: 1830-1930 Wrap-Up Reception

Next Steps

An invitation will go out to SO/AC support staff tomorrow so they can submit your final sessions into our Event Management Scheduling Software (EMS). All submissions will be due over the next two weeks and a final schedule will be posted no later than 6 June.

Please let me know if you have any questions - Thanks!
