Councillors, FYI, please see the email chain below, showing you my comments to the ALAC Chair, Olivier's response and info from the ccNSO Chair on a session they are organizing that will be open to all. Missing from this is confirmation from the ALAC Chair that he will not push this idea further at this time. Thanks, Stéphane Début du message réexpédié :

Thanks Olivier. If a session is to be held, I'd recommend an open session, as part of the main agenda.
But I would like to add that I don't think this is part of ICANN's mandate and that some may disagree with the use of ICANN funds (anything that happens during an ICANN meeting week has to be paid for out of the meeting budget) to hold a general discussion on such a topic, rather than a session on something that is strictly within ICANN's purview.
Thanks,
Stéphane

Dear Stéphane,
thank you for your kind message.
My train of thought goes as follows:
1. Find out if there is interest about the subject of SOPA and if yes, 2. Ask staff to find out of there might be between 1 and 1.5 hours free in the San José schedule for an ICANN-run session cross SO/AC (including avoiding time conflicts for all participants) and if yes, 3. Ask whether anyone wishes to take the lead in setting an agenda for this proposed session.
Only if all 3 are yes, do I propose that we have a cross SO/AC session discussing SOPA and its impact on ICANN's operations and multi-stakeholder, bottom-up policy development process.
I believe we've had a "yes" to (1) so I now kindly ask staff to perform (2), please.
Kind regards,
Olivier

Olivier,
What is your intent here? For ALAC to organize a session and ask others in the community to join? Or to ask ICANN to organize a session and invite all? Or something else I have missed?
I'm asking the question because I'm not sure what it is you are looking for. If the idea is just to hold a workshop on SOPA, then I don't think much consultation is needed. If you are asking for our input as leaders of the various ICANN communities, then what kind of input are you looking for?
Thanks,

Dear SO/AC Chairs,
a recent discussion on an ALAC call led to the question whether the ICANN community might be interested in holding a session in San José, to discuss the aspects of the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and how it might affect ICANN policies that were reached through consensus.
I am writing to you all to find out of this is something which your community might be interested in. As we are currently finalising schedules, it would be helpful to find out your community's views ASAP.
Warmest regards,
Olivier
