Dear fellow Committee Members, We have heard from many of you that the Saturday morning, Nov. 16th meeting slot is acceptable, so I would like to confirm that we will indeed hold our face-to-face meeting in Buenos Aires at 07:30-08:45 on that day. Looking forward to seeing all who can be in attendance then. Julie, we'll leave it to you to work with the Secretariat to organize and advise of which meeting room we will be in and to provide for a bridge for those who may not be attending the BA meeting, but would like to dial in. Thanks everyone! Kind regards, RA Ron Andruff RNA Partners <http://www.rnapartners.com> www.rnapartners.com From: owner-gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org [mailto:owner-gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org] On Behalf Of Julie Hedlund Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2013 09:47 To: gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org Cc: gnso-secs@icann.org Subject: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] SCI Meeting in Buenos Aires Importance: High Dear Ron, Avri, and SCI members, After conferring with Wolf-Ulrich it seems the only time available that would not conflict with the GNSO Council meetings and that occurs prior to the start of the ICANN meeting on Monday would be early morning Saturday the 16th: 7:30 to 8:45 am (ending to allow 15 minutes before the start of GNSO Council meetings at 9:00 am). Alternatively, we could see if there is a topic during the weekend GNSO Council meetings that is of less interest to SCI members and that thus would allow an overlapping meeting. Please see the draft schedule at: http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/buenos-aires-schedule-07oct13-en.pdf and let me know if there is an alternate time you would like to suggest. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director
