Call for ccTLD News Presentations
by Gabriella Schittek May 2, 2012

May 2, 2012

Dear all, We are now looking for presentations for our ccTLD News session in Prague. If you are interested in giving a presentation at this session, please could you send me: 1. The exact title of what you would like to present on; 2. The name of the presenter; 3. A short summary (2-3 sentences) what the presentation is going to cover; 4. How much time you think you will need As we only have a limited number of slots for presentations at this session, we can't, unfortunately, guarantee you a slot. If we receive too many proposals, the ccNSO Programme Working Group will have to make a selection. If you are interested in presenting at the ccTLD News session, please, send me required information by Tuesday, 8 May at the latest. Kind regards, Gabi

Two requests for suggestions/comments
by Lesley Cowley April 30, 2012

April 30, 2012

Hi, The two requests I mentioned on our recent Council call are: 1. A request for suggestions on any topics of cross-community common interest for the Prague meeting agenda, so that specific sessions can be scheduled outside of the SO/AC meetings. These should be on common topics that will be of wide interest and which can have open participation from across the ICANN community. If you have any topic suggestions, please could you let me know as soon as possible. 2. A request for comments on the suggestion that the presentation of the SO/AC reports and Board meeting that take place on the Friday of each meeting week be changed, in order to allow for more emphasis on enhanced interaction throughout the week. If you have any comments on this suggestion, they would be appreciated. Kind regards, Lesley Lesley Cowley, OBE CEO Nominet Minerva House Edmund Halley Road Oxford Science Park Oxford, OX4 4DQ UK Tel: +44-(0)-1865-332211 http://www.nominet.org.uk/

Adobe Connect: Your input needed
by Kristina Nordstrom April 30, 2012

April 30, 2012

Dear Councillors, As you may know several of the ccNSO working groups are now using the virtual meeting tool Adobe Connect as an additional communication tool for their conference calls and I would like to note that this is an option for the Council as well. Adobe Connect is good for several reasons: - Communicating through the chat - Displaying documents - Connecting to the call using only the computer - Voting on simple issues/documents The most important thing is that nobody should feel excluded and we are aware that many of you on occasions need to take the Council calls on the road with no internet access. It would be of much help o us if you could all indicate whether or not you think Adobe Connect would be a good tool for the Council calls, either on the list or directly to me. Based on how people respond we will decide on whether or not it is worth a try. To read more about Adobe Connect and how it works, please go to http://www.adobe.com/products/adobeconnect.html Kind regards, Kristina
