Informal Council dinner - ICANN61 - Saturday 12th March 2018
by Nathalie Peregrine 09 Feb '18

09 Feb '18

Dear councilors, The traditional informal GNSO Council dinner for ICANN61 will be held on Saturday 12th March 2018. Previously, dinner organization was researched by a member of the Council with staff assistance. Ideally, this is someone with either local knowledge, or a keen interest in dining options ☺ If this is something which you would be interested in, please let us know. Staff can help with the research and provide councilors’ dietary requirements in order to narrow down the choice. ICANN Meetings team has put together a starter list of restaurants in Puerto Rico, but this is merely a suggestion. Thank you!

Hi All Following on from the Council call: Susan, Darcy and I have revised the comments in light of our discussion during the Council call on Tuesday. We have deleted the reference to ICANN's Complaints Officer, deleted the paragraph in yellow and included a paragraph addressing the need to define the role and responsibilities of the Board Liaison and a possible path for review team members to raise concerns about the Board Liaison. A clean version of the document is attached. The deadline for comments is today and we will work with staff to have these submitted on time.
