Invitation to Cross Consituency Breakfast Tuesday 7.30 - 8.45
Dear all, For those of you attending the Prague meeting: The GNSO Cross Constituency Group would like to invite the ccTLD community for a breakfast on Tuesday 7.30 8.45. RSVP bc-secretariat@icann.org as soon as possible. Please, see below and attached for further details! Gabi == Re: Invitation to Breakfast with the Cross Constituency Group On behalf of the Chairs and Constituencies in the Commercial Stakeholder Group at ICANN, it is my pleasure to invite the ccTLD Community to a breakfast and informal dialogue. Date: Tuesday, June 26, 2012 Time: 7:30 a.m. - 8:45 am. Venue: Hilton Prague Room: The Atrium We usually take a very informal approach of randomly seating a mix of participants at round tables for a self-serve breakfast. We usually have a very informal 'program', which includes very brief remarks from the Chairs, including Lesley Cowley, Chair, CCNSO, and we put a few topics that could be the focus of table discussions at each table, just as suggestions. Each table's participants decide what they want to discuss. We would like to propose possible discussion at the tables on: · What does it mean for ICANN to act in the public interest? · Views on Risks and Threats to ICANN - External and Internal But, the primary purpose of the breakfast exchange is to meet each other. We hope this breakfast will be a good start on our communities getting better acquainted, and finding commonalities and mutual interests at ICANN. Background: The BC, IPC and ISPCP make up what is called the Commercial Stakeholders Group (CSG) in the Generic Names Supporting Organization. Members of these constituencies are not the contracted parties - the gTLD Registries or Registrars - but are businesses, law firms, consultancies that focus on business users interests and concerns. Accountability and transparency are significant priorities for us. Other areas where we often have common views include the ICANN Strategic Plan; the Budget and Operational Plan; the importance of ICANN improving its operational performance. Some of our participants are very involved in the external issues involving discussions about the role of the ITU or the UN in Internet governance. Our members look forward to this opportunity to interact informally over breakfast with the ccTLD community and its leaders. Marilyn Cade, Chair - Business Constituency
