Dear SO/AC Leaders,

As announced on 10 March 2011, there are some changes made to the schedule due to the continuing discussions between the Board and the Governmental Advisory Committee. As a result, there will be several sessions scheduled about New gTLDs that will be open to public comment and/or observation at this ICANN meeting in Silicon Valley, San Francisco, while the time for the Public Forum will be shorter.

You can find this announcement at: http://icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-10mar11-en.htm

As a result, there will be less priority given to New gTLDs during Public Forum as we expect extensive discussions on them in other sessions.

We seek for your input for other topics that can be discussed at the Public Forum. If you could signal us one or two topics that your groups would like to see in the Public Forum agenda, I will pass these on to Peter Dengate Thrush and then he will place them in the agenda for discussion for public input after his evaluation.

Please let me know of your suggested topics before the end of Tuesday, 15 March.

Kind regards,

Filiz Yilmaz Sr Dir Participation and Engagement ICANN
