Hi Kathy, The ATRT used to hold its "interaction with the community" sessions on the Monday afternoon once the ICANN meeting had been officially opened (Welcome Ceremony). Wednesday might be "busier" than Monday for constituencies. Hence we might have greater attendance on the Monday. Kindly note that this is only my opinion and that Emily and you have discretion over that decision. Thanks, Kind regards Alice From: Kathy Kleiman [mailto:kKleiman@pir.org] Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2011 3:37 PM To: Alice Jansen; rt4-whois@icann.org Subject: RE: [Rt4-whois] SV meeting - deadlines - for your information Hi Alice, Hi Olof, Could you kindly work with us to propose a good time for a Public Session at the San Francisco meeting? When did the ATRT team most successfully hold its Public Sessions? When is SSR thinking of holding its? I would think both Monday afternoon and Wednesday would be good times... Tx for the new rules, and the wise guidance, Kathy From: rt4-whois-bounces@icann.org [mailto:rt4-whois-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Alice Jansen Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2011 7:07 AM To: rt4-whois@icann.org Subject: [Rt4-whois] SV meeting - deadlines - for your information Dear Review Team Members, As you may recall, Olof announced the deadline to submit session request forms for the Silicon Valley meeting last week during the London meeting.
