I apologize for missing the start of our work sessions today and thank Stephane, Olga and glen for taking the lead. I have been in the emergency room at Nuevo Hospital Bocagrande in Cartagena since mid-afternoon yesterday. I have a 1 cm kidney stone in the ureter between my left kidney and my bladder that was causing severe pain and nausea. They have controlled the pain well via intravenous meds. Considering how noisy it was, I slept surprisingly well last night, undoubtedly helped by the meds. Next steps will hopefully be determined this morning. The hospital urologist is supposed to meet with me this morning to discuss his recommendations. And I am also expecting advice from doctors in the U.S. associated with the international medical coverage provided by VeriSign. Other than being impatient and frustrated, I am doing fine and still hoping that I can join the week of meetings soon.

King; Nancy Lupiano Subject: FW: [council] Cartagena schedule change - Wednesday afternoon GNSO Council meetingconflict with Getting ready -Applications Dear Nick, Would it be possible for you to please change the Getting Ready new gTLD session http://cartagena39.icann.org/node/15611 <http://cartagena39.icann.org/node/15611> currently scheduled on Wednesday 8 December at 17:00 - 18:00 because this is in direct conflict with the GNSO Council meeting http://cartagena39.icann.org/node/15379 <http://cartagena39.icann.org/node/15379> . Stéphane van Gelder the GNSO Council vice chair who is actually tasked with scheduling GNSO meetings on behalf of the Council, encouraged by Chuck Gomes, the GNSO Council chair, have requested that the Getting Ready session be changed as it conflicts with the GNSO Council meeting, which has purposefully been moved to the afternoon to attract a large audience which will be similar to the Getting Ready session. The reason why this conflict should be resolved is because one of the councilors, Kristina Rosette of the Intellectual Property constituency has been asked to participate as a panelists in the Getting Ready session. In addition, the session is of paramount importance to the GNSO stakeholder groups and constituencies who are all involved in the Getting Ready for new gTLDs as registrars, registries, business, intellectual and Internet service providers as well as the non-commercial group. In consulation with Tanzie, and Nancy there is a possibility to move the Getting Ready new gTLD session http://cartagena39.icann.org/node/15611 <http://cartagena39.icann.org/node/15611> to the morning from 11:00-12:00 opposite the GAC meeting. Thank you for your consideration.
