I'm taking "pertinent members of the GNSO Council" to mean any interested Councilor. Particularly one who was active in the PDP working group, like yourself.

Thank you,

I would like to attend. It is not entirely clear from the invitation whether all interested persons were invited.

Dear Councilors,

Please find attached an invitation from Thomas Schneider, the GAC Chair, for interested Councilors to participate in a meeting with the GAC on the topic of privacy and proxy service accreditation. The session will take place on Tuesday 28 June as part of the GAC’s discussion of the topic.

I believe that Graeme Bunton and Steve Metalitz, the co-chairs of the PPSAI PDP Working Group, plan to attend the meeting.

Thanks and cheers

Mary

Great idea! i arrive Sunday afternoon. Stephanie Perrin On 2016-06-16 9:46, Johan Helsingius wrote:

Dear co-councillors,

I know we will all be rather busy in Helsinki, but for anyone staying an extra day or two, or planning an afternoon/evening off, I am more than happy to provide ideas and suggestions for what to do and see in Helsinki. I did, after all, grow up and live there for the first 35 years of my life (and I still keep going there 4-5 times per year), and my family does have a special affinity for the place, as you might have deduced from my family name. :)

Thinking about perhaps having "quick intro to Helsinki" drinks on Sunday night - are all the council members staying at the Scandic Marski hotel?

Mason,

Nice idea, Julf. I get in Saturday and could use some ideas for something to see/do that afternoon.

"Must see" things are the Rock Church (Temppeliaukio), http://www.helsinginkirkot.fi/en/churches/rock-church-temppeliaukio very close to our meeting venue, and the market square and the neoclassical administrative centre around the Senate Square, with government buildings, main building of University of Helsinki, and Cathedral, but that is something we can check out either Monday night (as the City Hall where the Monday reception is held is in the middle of the area) or Tuesday on our way to the Council dinner. On Saturday, most Finns will be nursing their hangovers from Midsummer Night (Friday), so museums and art galleries should be quiet and empty. :) Here is a University of Helsinki memo on Midsummer in Helsinki: http://blogs.helsinki.fi/welcometouh/2012/06/21/juhannus-magical-midsummer-i... For art museums, there is the Ateneum art museum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ateneum with Finnish classical art, the Sinebrychoff Art Museum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinebrychoff_Art_Museum with older European art, and Kiasma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiasma with modern art. All are in architecturally interesting buildings - but Helsinki is not Paris, Vienna or London :) There is also a smallish Design Museum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_Museum,_Helsinki, in the same block as the Museum of Finnish Architecture, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_Finnish_Architecture There are lots of interesting Art Noveau buildings in Punavuori (west-southwest of Scandic Marski hotel), Ullanlinna and Katajanokka (south). Something that is easy to miss out is that there are lots of underground passages (appreciated by locals on cold winter days). Easiest way to see them is to go down to the underground levels at Forum shopping mall, central railway station, or Sokos or Stockmann department stores. Main shopping streets are Aleksanterinkatu and Esplanadi - the esplanade leading down to the old harbour / market square. Just before market square you can drop in at Cafe/restaurant Kappeli http://www.kappeli.fi/index.php?id=frontpage where the Helsinki cultural leaders plotted independence (and got very drunk) in the late 1800's. Julf

Excellent, Julf. Thanks very much!!
