Chuck ________________________________ From: owner-soac-discussion@icann.org [mailto:owner-soac-discussion@icann.org] On Behalf Of Nick Ashton-Hart Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2010 10:32 AM To: soac-discussion@icann.org Subject: [soac-discussion] Public Participation Committee public session, invitation for SO/AC leaders' participation Dear SO and AC leaders: On Wednesday 10th from 1600-1730 local time in Nairobi, the Board's Public Participation Committee will hold its public meeting. The PPC has asked me to ask you if a representative from each of the ACs and SOs would care to be a part of the session by participating in a panel, alongside the members of the PPC, to lead the discussion of the various items on the agenda, and of course to participate in the discussion directly. If one of you, or someone you wish to nominate from your community, is unable to attend in-room we can arrange for you to be able to participate remotely via audio bridge. The full agenda may be found at http://nbo.icann.org/node/8950; I have not pasted it below since the hyperlinks would not be usable and as you will see when you browse the agenda the hyperlinks are quite integral to the whole. Finally, I hope you will accept my apologies in advance for posting the agenda assuming that some members of the SOs and ACs would be willing to participate as described. Given the subject, it seemed that I would be on safe ground to make that assumption. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Senior Director for Participation and Engagement Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Tel: +33 (450) 42 81 83 USA Tel: +1 (310) 301-8637 Fax: : +41 (22) 594-85-44 Mobile: (Switzerland): +41 79 595 5468 email: nick.ashton-hart@icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart@hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart@mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart
