Dear DNSAM PDP1 WG, 

Thank you all for your active participation in this group.

We would like to share some more information regarding the four (4) DNSAM PDP1 sessions planned at ICANN85. 

Our first meeting will be at ICANN85 in person on Saturday, 07 March, at 15:00-16:00 (local time). We look forward to seeing those attending in-person there! The WG will have four sessions during ICANN85 taking place as follows: 

• Kick-off Meeting: Saturday, 07 March at 15:00 – 16:00 (local time)
• Session 2: Saturday, 07 March at 16:30 to 17:30 (local time)
• Session 3: Monday, 09 March at 13:15 to 14:30 (local time)
• Session 4: Monday, 09 March at 15:00 – 16:00 (local time)
• Please see the Sched schedule for more information: https://icann85.sched.com/

Please find attached a PDF document for your convenience, outlining the agenda items for each session. Please ensure you familiarise yourself with the agenda and make sure you come prepared to the meeting. The required reading for the meetings is outlined below: 

• Working Group Charter
• Final Issue Report
• Consensus Playbook [gnso.icann.org]
• GNSO Working Group Guidelines [gnso.icann.org] & PDP Manual [gnso.icann.org]

Once you have completed your document review, please confirm here. So far we have not received any confirmations.

The goal of this exercise is to ensure that everyone is starting off on the same page with the same foundation of information, which will enable us to be a more effective team. 

We will also use the sessions to do a round of verbal introductions so we can get to know each other but also share expectations and concerns early in the PDP processes. Please be prepared to speak briefly (no more than one minute) about your relevant experience and any objectives you have for participating.

In addition, a document library is included on the WG workspace (see https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DAMP1/pages/766312449/4.+Background+Documents ). An understanding of these documents and their contents will help to ensure your full and productive participation in WG deliberations. More materials will be added to this space as the PDP kicks off.

Kind regards,

Paul McGrady
