Board seat 14
by Stéphane Van Gelder April 9, 2011

April 9, 2011

Councillors, As a reminder, bylaws dictate that "the Non-Contracted Party House shall select a representative to fill Seat 14". A further requirement is that: "At least two months before the date specified for the commencement of the term as specified in paragraphs 1.d-g above, any Supporting Organization or the At-Large community entitled to select a Director for a Seat with a term beginning that year shall give the Secretary of ICANN written notice of its selection". As this pertains to Board seat 14, that term is scheduled to begin on June 24 this year. So the GNSO would need to be in a position to send our written notice by April 24. Stéphane

Confluence announcement
by Glen de Saint Géry March 13, 2011

March 13, 2011

Dear All, As you might be aware, ICANN is in the process of transitioning all Socialtext Wikis over to Confluence Wiki (by Atlassian). Next up are the GNSO related workspaces (WG wikis, GNSO Council wiki, etc.) We expect this to be a gradual transition with a final completion date of 30 June 2011 at which stage all Socialtext Wikis will have been migrated and will retire. What does this mean for you? In due time you will be informed by the responsible ICANN policy staff that your respective workspace has migrated and you can start using the new Confluence wiki. At that stage you will also receive your log-in details which will give you editing rights to your respective Confluence pages. All the informationthat was available on the Socialtext wiki will also be available on the newConfluence site, albeit with a different layout format. How can you lean more about Confluence? To learn more about Confluence and the new functionalities offered, please see http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+User%27s+Guide. Attached you will also find an introduction to the basic functions of Confluence. Confluence Training Session: For those interested, a training session will be organized at the next ICANN meeting in San Francisco. If you are interested to participate, please inform the GNSO Secretariat at gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org> as soon as possible. If you already want to have a look at the new ICANN Community Wiki space, please see https://community.icann.org/. Please note that for now you'll only find the ALAC wikis and access to board resolutions there. To access the existing GNSO wikis at Socialtext, please go to https://st.icann.org/st/dashboard. We hope that the transition will be smooth, without any major interruptions, and anticipate that the move to Confluencewill enhance the options for on-line collaboration as a result of the enhanced features offered. If you have any questions, please let me know. With best regards, Marika

ICANN Revises 2011 Meeting Sponsorship Program
by Glen de Saint Géry March 1, 2011

March 1, 2011

http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-3-24feb11-en.htm ICANN Revises 2011 Meeting Sponsorship Program 24 February 2011 Earlier this year, ICANN announced a new sponsorship program that introduced higher levels of support, as well as price increases for lower level sponsorship packages. Some of our supporters have found it difficult to purchase the sponsorship package that provides their preferred benefits at the new cost. We have listened to concerns expressed by our community and today are announcing a revised sponsorship program that reduces the cost for many of our lower level sponsorship packages while retaining some of the higher level opportunities. We have also created a 33% discount rate for non-profit organizations. Details of the new sponsorship program can be found at: http://meetings.icann.org/sponsorship Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org http://gnso.icann.org

Fwd: Updated DSSA list of GNSO volunteers
by Stéphane Van Gelder Feb. 28, 2011

Feb. 28, 2011

Councillors, The ccNSO has kindly agreed to our request for 12 volunteer slots. This divides up into 3 slots per GNSO group, the NCSG, the CSG, the RySG and the RrSG. Based on the current list of volunteers we have, we are not too far off. Could I ask that those groups that currently have more than 3 volunteers reduce that number to the 3-slot limit, while those groups that currently have less than 3 should feel free to add more volunteers if that is required? The ccNSO has asked that we provide them with a definitive list of volunteers by this Friday, March 4th, the intent being that the group is ready to start its work in San Francisco. Glen, it would no doubt be helpful if you can send the latest volunteer list to the Council list so that we can clearly see where we are.
