Re: [IPC-GNSO] Invoices - Clarification about where to find online payment info
by Lori Schulman Aug. 1, 2016

Aug. 1, 2016

Dear All: Following up my email below, I would like to clarify some points that have been brought to my attention: 1) To find the electronic payment information for dues invoices, please click on "click here to see view invoice" on the message from Memberclicks. The electronic payment information will appear. It is not on the .pdf copy and so it is a bit confusing. We will adjust the form for next year but please bear with it for now. 2) For those who sent checks and received an overdue message, don't worry. The check payments need to be manually entered and all may not have been entered yet. We strongly encourage use of the online payment system to avoid lost checks or delays in crediting your payment. 3) Some individuals from law firms that have institutional membership have been inadvertently billed. We are reconciling that as well. Once again, thank you for your patience as we iron out the system. Lori Lori S. Schulman Senior Director, Internet Policy International Trademark Association (INTA) +1-202-704-0408, Skype: lsschulman From: Lori Schulman Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2016 7:04 AM To: 'IPC-GNSO' <ipc-gnso(a)icann.org> Subject: Invoices Dear Fellow IPC Members, By now, you would have received an invoice for your 2016 dues. It has been pointed out to me that there is an error in the message regarding when your membership is due to expire. The message says 12/31/15. Please disregard. I am in transit at the moment and will write a more detailed message explaining our new electronic invoicing system and will make sure that any errors are corrected. As this is a new system, we ask your patience as we iron out the kinks. However, you can now make secure, online payments which will make the process much easier for everyone. Thank you.

Independent Examiner Final Report<https://www.icann.org/zh/system/files/files/gnso-review-final-summary-15sep…> 3. Frequently Asked Questions<https://community.icann.org/x/UBCbAw> Background The second independent review of the GNSO commenced in 2014. The Final Report of the independent examiner was published on 15 September 2015 (see https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gnso-review-final-15sep15-en.pdf) and contained 36 recommendations in the areas of: participation & representation, continuous development, transparency and alignment with ICANN's future. The GNSO Council adopted the GNSO Review Recommendations Feasibility and Prioritization analysis (see:http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/review-feasibility-prioritization-25feb…) on 14 April 2016 with the modification of Recommendation 21, that the council recommends staff working with the GNSO to institute methods of information sharing of highly relevant research related to gTLDs to help the GNSO community members increase their knowledge base (low priority). On 25 June, the ICANN Board accepted the Final Report from the independent examiner, taking into account the GNSO Working Party's Feasibility and Prioritization Analysis of the GNSO Review Recommendations, adopted with modifications by the GNSO Council. The Board adopted thirty-four (34) recommendations of the Final Report (i.e. all recommendations excluding recommendations 23 and 32). Furthermore, the Board requested that the GNSO Council convene a group that oversees the implementation of Board-accepted recommendations. Per the motion<https://community.icann.org/x/BAObAw> adopted on 21 July 2016, the GNSO Council adopted the Charter<http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/gnso-review-charter-11jul16-en.pdf> of the GNSO Review Working Group and directed staff to send a Call for Volunteers for the Working Group.

Information for those Hyderabad bound (or planning to participate remotely).... Greg ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Olive <david.olive(a)icann.org> Date: Mon, Jul 25, 2016 at 1:45 PM Subject: [Soac-infoalert] ICANN57 Hyderabad: What You Need to Know - ICANN To: "soac-infoalert(a)icann.org" <soac-infoalert(a)icann.org> Cc: James Cole <james.cole(a)icann.org>, Nick Tomasso <nick.tomasso(a)icann.org>, Melanie Cruz <melanie.cruz(a)icann.org>, Mia Crampton <mia.crampton(a)icann.org> https://www.icann.org/news/blog/icann57-hyderabad-what-you-need-to-know ICANN57 Hyderabad: What You Need to Know ICANN Blog Author: Nicholas Tomasso As ICANN57 draws closer, I want to provide some clarity on how this meeting will be different from past meetings, and what you should expect. In 2014, the ICANN Board approved the community’s New Meeting Strategy & Implementation Plan, which outlined the structure for ICANN’s three yearly meetings. ICANN56 in Helsinki was our first ever “Policy Forum,” which was shorter than prior meetings, and focused on community policy work. In contrast, ICANN57 will be longer, with 7 days of sessions. The third meeting in the three-meeting annual cycle, ICANN57 is the “Annual General Meeting.” It aims to showcase the ICANN community’s work to a broader global audience, while also having days dedicated for Supporting Organization (SO) and Advisory Committee (AC) work. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we moved ICANN57 to Hyderabad, India. As a result, ICANN57 will be taking place Thursday, 3 November 2016 to Wednesday, 9 November 2016. Here is a general overview of what you can expect during each day of the meeting: There will be two Public Forums during ICANN57, similar to ICANN55 in Marrakech, which was the first meeting of this “New Meeting Strategy.” Public Forum 1 is scheduled for Saturday, 5 November 2016, and will provide an opportunity for each SO/AC to update the community on their efforts, followed by time for the community to share their topics of interest. Public Forum 2 will focus on solely community comment and Board response, and is scheduled for Tuesday, 8 November 2016. We will be holding a webinar on 7 September 2016 to provide the community with a full update on ICANN57, including information on logistics, accommodations and travel. Details on obtaining a visa will also be shared during the webinar, and as well as being posted on the ICANN57 meeting website. Make sure to keep an eye out for our webinar announcement, and join us then. _______________________________________________ soac-infoalert mailing list soac-infoalert(a)icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/soac-infoalert
