Dear ISPCP member Please RSVP to me if you wish to attend this lunch event so that I can provide a full list of ISPCP members who will participate. I require confirmation of attendance by Wednesday 18th February. Thanks Tony _____ Invitation to new business participants' introductory lunch, RSVP required When: Monday 2 March Time: 12.30-14.00 Where: Dona Sol room in the ICANN venue hotel Action requested: This invitation is being sent to members of the business related constituencies for response to their chairs /secretariat by 18 February. Capacity is limited for regular ICANN business participants as the focus is on welcoming new business participants, and thus participation must be confirmed well in advance. Lunch will be provided, and if you commit to coming to this lunch session, your participation will be important. ICANN staff will be inviting the new business participants who register for the meetings. Programme: The lunch will be opened by ICANN's Board Chair, Peter Dengate Thrush, welcoming new business participants along with Paul Levins. The purpose of the lunch is to help new business participants get oriented and take full advantage of the ICANN meetings. Point people for each of the business oriented constituencies will introduce themselves to facilitate follow up with potential new members. More experienced business representatives will be encouraged to assist new business representatives in prioritizing the meetings on the schedule which they can most benefit from participating in.
