Hi Greg, I am very interested in participating on this team. I participated in the Intersessional last year as part of NCSG and found it very useful. (Actually, I think that is where you and I met for the first time.) With kind regards, Lori S. Schulman Senior Director, Internet Policy International Trademark Association (INTA) +1-202-261-6588 From: ipc-gnso-bounces@icann.org [mailto:ipc-gnso-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Greg Shatan Sent: Friday, August 07, 2015 12:17 PM To: IPC-GNSO Subject: [IPC-GNSO] YET ANOTHER CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST: NCPH Intersessional Planning Team Fellow IPC Members: There is one more organizational team we need to put together. As many of you will recall, the Non-Contracted Parties House (NCPH) of the GNSO (i.e., the Commercial Stakeholder Group and the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group, and their respective constituencies) held an "Intersessional" meeting in Washington, DC last January/February. Each CSG Constituency sent 7 people, who were a mix of leadership and general membership. This was generally well-received and it has been budgeted for again in the 2016 ICANN Fiscal Year. Preliminary discussions of the CSG Executive Committee (ExComm) have developed a tentative proposal to have another Intersessional in January 2016, likely to be outside North America (since the last one was in North America). We will need a small team to assist in planning the Intersessional, working with members of the CSG ExComm, some members of other CSG Constituencies, NCSG members and ICANN staff. The larger team (with staff) will be able to build on the experiences of the prior Intersessionals, but much will be done from scratch (selecting city, venue, hotel(s), dates, attendees, agenda, etc.) Please reply if you are interested. Thanks! Greg
