Dear BC Members, Please find below an invitation for the Community to join two webinar sessions on Friday, Nov. 8th, 2013 with ICANN Senior Executives, following the IGF which took place in Bali. All details regarding the two sessions can be found below, including the dial in details. Kind Regards, Benedetta Rossi BC Secretariat bc-secretariat@icann.org https://community.icann.org/display/gnsobc/Home www.bizconst.org Internet Governance Webinar Conversation Opportunity With ICANN Senior Executives Dear SOAC Leaders; Based on recent discussions within the broader community and your feedback over the past couple of weeks regarding the Montevideo statement, we think it would be most useful to have a community call before everyone departed for the ICANN Public Meeting in Buenos Aires to discuss recent Internet governance developments - specifically the Montevideo statement - and plans for a broader Internet stakeholder meeting in Brazil next year. Fadi has had or is planning a few individual conversations with community groups, but we thought some broader community engagement opportunities with ICANN senior executives would also be helpful so that Fadi, Tarek and Theresa could: Provide background and context of the recent I-Star discussions leading to the Montevideo statement; Explain the Board/Staff partnership in this effort; Explain what has been done to date and share perceptions of the recent IGF-Bali meeting; and Highlight next steps/prep plans for Brazil next April. As a result, we have arranged for two community webinars scheduled for next Friday, 8 November at 1200 UTC and 1900 UTC so that the team can share its thoughts and field community questions and comments. We are scheduling two separate sessions to cover the global geographic spread of the community and hope that you will be able to share information about the opportunity with your communities. Each session will be an hour long and any questions or comments that the team can't get to on the calls will be saved for further discussion in Buenos Aires. The call details are as follows: Adigo Conference Bridge No. Conference ID: 45151321; Adobe Connect: <https://icann.adobeconnect.com/icann-soac> https://icann.adobeconnect.com/icann-soac To help the team prepare for the sessions, please feel free to share any pre-session questions that you have with me. I will pass them on to the ICANN Strategy Team in preparation for the sessions. Best regards, David -- David A.
