The purpose of these workshops is to receive community input on how the outstanding issues should be resolved, especially those where the GAC and Board are in disagreement. We invite you or a person you nominate to speak regarding how the outstanding issues should be resolved.

ISPCP meeting San Francisco
by Tonyarholmes＠btinternet.com March 12, 2011

March 12, 2011

I'm sure most of you would have seen the recent announcement that the Board and GAC will continue to try and resolve the outstanding issues on new gTLDs on both Tuesday and Thursday in San Francisco. Most of these sessions will be 'open' and that has resulted in significant changes to the original schedule. The CSG meeting planned for Tuesday morning has now been cancelled and Constituencies also have to decide whether to go ahead with their meetings on the Tuesday. That places all of us in a difficult position as the majority of people will want to attend the Board sessions. I would like to propose the ISPCP meeting goes ahead with the following reduced agenda; - ISPCP position on new gTLDs - Operational Plan & Budget and GNSO toolkit - Update on NonCom - JAS and Joint Community WGs - IANA contract NOI - Urgent issues from the GNSO. That also means we would not invite staff to present on the operational plan and budget, the chair of the SSAC, or members of the WHOIS WG to present during our meeting, which was the agreed way forward from our last conference call. Adopting that approach should enable us to start at 14.00 and reduce the meeting to under 2 hours and then people can return to the GAC - Board session. All the issues listed on the above agenda are important to our constituency and it would be an opportunity wasted if we do not hold any discussions at all in SF. PLEASE RESPOND IMMEDIATELY IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS PROPOSAL. In addition a breakfast meeting with ICANN staff has also been planned for Tuesday morning. PLEASE RESPOND BACK IF YOU INTEND TO PARTICIPATE AS NUMBERS ARE LIMITED. Details of this meeting will be circulated nearer the time. I look forward to seeing everyone in San Francisco Tony

Please share with your respective groups. Stéphane Début du message réexpédié : De : Diane Schroeder <diane.schroeder(a)icann.org> Date : 25 février 2011 18:58:06 HNEC À : Cc : Objet : Proposed Changes to Constituency Day - Silicon Valley Meeting - From Peter Dengate Thrush The following note is being sent on behalf of Peter Dengate Thrush. As I mentioned to most of you in Cartagena, the Board is proposing a change to the interactions between the various community groups and the Board at the face-to-face meetings. The change is being proposed to try to improve the format for dialogue and make the discussions more focused. The changes will be tried at the March meeting and then reviewed for effectiveness before the June meeting. There are two main changes - the first is to the meetings on Tuesday, Constituency Day. The second is to social events such as dinners, lunches and breakfasts. Attached is a document explaining the changes in detail. Please coordinate the time slots with Diane Schroeder. She will also coordinate the social events. The Board appreciates that these are big changes for the community, but our goal is to enhance the communications between the Board and the SO/ACs.
