Invitation to business cocktail with ICANN board and leadership, RSVP required

When: Sunday 1 March 2009

Time: 1800-1900

Where: Dona Sol room in the ICANN venue hotel, Mexico City

Organized by: BC, ISPC, IPC, with support from ICC and ICANN

Action requested: This invitation is being sent to members of the  BC, ISPC and IPC constituencies, who are requested to inform their constituency chairs/secretariat if they would like to participate in this opportunity to interact with the members of the ICANN Board and senior leadership, by 18 February. Capacity is limited, and thus participation must be confirmed well in advance. Constituencies are requested to provide a full list of their members who have confirmed, with names, titles and affiliations by 19 February.

Programme: The Chair of ICANN's Board has been asked to provide brief remarks on issues of particular importance to business. Subject to confirmation, proposed topics will include ICANN in the context of the new US administration, and how ICANN plans to adjust in the current financial climate  (financial and travel restrictions being faced by business and other stakeholders, the impact on participation and engagement). A few representatives from business will provide very brief input (Tony Holmes-ISPC, Steve Metalitz-IPC, Zahid Jamil-BC) and the remainder of the time will be for informal discussion among the participants. The topics for this opportunity to interact with ICANN Board members and senior leadership are distinct from those that will be addressed at the cross-constituency breakfast.
