Councillors, Please see the message below from Glen. I personally have no problem with this as it seems very positive and will no doubt help our meetings run more smoothly in the future. If anyone does, please notify me or the VCs asap. Unless any objections are heard, I will ask Glen to give the Adigo folks the all-clear to observe our next meeting. Thanks, Stéphane Début du message réexpédié :

De : Glen de Saint Géry <Glen@icann.org> Objet : [gnso-chairs] Observers on the Council call Date : 8 décembre 2011 20:12:24 HNEC À : Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@indom.com>, "Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@neustar.us>, "KnobenW@telekom.de" <KnobenW@telekom.de> Cc : Gnso Chairs <gnso-chairs@icann.org>

Dear Stéphane, Jeff and Wolf-Ulrich,

ICANN is thinking of changing teleconference providers. Recently while we were in Marina del Rey we met with the staff of Adigo with whom we already schedule a number of calls and they asked if they could be observers on the upcoming Council call to find out how we run our calls. I hope that you will not mind them observing on both the call itself and the Adobe Connect room at our next Council meeting on Thursday 15 December at 20:00UTC. Please let us know if this causes any issues for you.

Thank you very much. Kind regards, Glen
