Hi Anne,
I can certainly pass the comment on but will not include it in our formal request.
The IRT is not run by us, it will include non-GNSO members, I don’t want to confuse the two.
For what it is worth, as ICANN doesn’t officially start until Monday – no weekend calendar – if the IRT decides on an early work session, the most logical for them would be to run it on the Sunday colliding with ours.

Support this idea. I also think it may be a good idea to schedule a Subpro IRT in person meeting on the preceding Saturday if ICANN Org is amenable, keeping in mind that representatives in the IRT should likely be funded. Is this a reasonable comment to add to the draft letter re the IRT?

Dear Council Colleagues,
Based on the outcomes of ICANN 76 and in particular the amount of work we will need to deliver by the end of ICANN 77 – 15 June –, I have taken the liberty to look into the possibility of adding a workday ahead of ICANN 77 to gather the Council on Sunday 11 June 2023.
I would like to dedicate this day to finalising anything that might remain pending for 15 June (obviously aiming to be prepared earlier), and organise a workshop, the format of which remains to be defined, to ensure that we are all up to speed on everything SubPro: the set of Recommendations the Board approved and those pending, expectations we need to have regarding the IRT and how we will want to play our role to ensure the process runs smoothly, depending on the outcome of the small team refreshers on GNSO Tools we might not all be familiar with, etc.
Being able to efficiently run such a workshop will require preparation from all of us including a fair amount of reading (or re-reading). We are preparing a full list of documents we should all be familiar with.
With your agreement I will formally transmit our request for ICANN to facilitate this extra day. My understanding is that there is support for the idea, that the venue should be available for our arrival a day early, and that ICANN will assume the additional expenses. I would like to be able to send the said request on Monday 3 April.
Looking forward to your reaction and comments about this opportunity.
Kindly,
