FYI: ICANN is making several changes in the Schedule/introducing new workshops/
Dear members I know we are all feeling a little buffetted by the lateness in the ICANN agenda and availability of agendas for various workshops. I wanted to call your attention to two rather major changes on Monday: a new workshop that was given 2 hours, which is a considerable amount of time, has resulted in other agenda changes which are problemmatic to the BC's ability to fully participate in two important workshops: WHOIS RT and ICANN and the Internet Governance Landscape. It is regrettable that ICANN is struggling with the details of the agenda and the materials. There are also now late publication of some other materials, so we will all have some on site work to do to get caught up on new details. I do appreciate your flexibility and the good will that the BC members always show in dealing with such challenges. I know we are all once again drowning in last minute stuff, but that means that the staff is probably also feeling a bit buffetted. We will do our best, but I think we may have some discussions by email over the Sat/Sun on substance topics. Travel safely, and just a heads up: it is lovely and warm here during day, but I think a light jacket may be needed [or for men, your suit jacket may feel good!] I just got here and I can tell I'll be a bit chilly during the evenings. Ayesha has been here a day more so may have an insight... I will ask Bene to do a new version of our marked up BC meeting schedule [the one with the orange codes] and publish it on Sunday. that way, she can catch any further changes that happen. M
Thanks Marilyn. On the weather front, it can be really windy at times, and cool in the morning and evenings. A light jacket and sweaters can be helpful layers to have. It can get quite warm in the afternoon so light clothing is also advisable. Travel safely.
