Dear GNSO Council,

Welcome to the GNSO Council!

Please see the suggested dates and times for 2024 Council meetings. Times and meeting rotation are suggested in function of the current locations of the Council Leadership team and members of the council.

We encouraged you to check the dates against your national and/or religious holidays. We have considered those which could conflict with Council meeting dates (Thursdays, generally the 2^nd or the 3^rd of the month). Please have a look and check against your own calendars to see if there are any adjustments to make. If no comments on dates/times listed below, we will send calendar invites out next week.

Current 2023 Meeting dates and times:

• 16 November at 20:00 UTC
• 21 December at 13:00 UTC
