Hi Denise, We (Emily and I) were contacted by Fiona Alexander of NTIA who was following up on our original request for Mr. Strickling's time. Given how busy schedules are, we took the time we could -- 9:30-10:30am Eastern, 2:30-3:30pm GMT, on our first day in London. It is nice to have this time, and good to know we can ask our questions to Mr. Strickling. All - he would like a sense of the questions ahead of time -- I would be happy to be the collector -- feel free to send to me and I'll compile and pass on. We would, of course, welcome the opportunity to talk further with Rod! Best, Kathy -----Original Message----- From: rt4-whois-bounces@icann.org [mailto:rt4-whois-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Denise Michel Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2011 12:41 PM To: rt4-whois@icann.org Subject: [Rt4-whois] London Meeting -- staff attendance and conference call with Strickling and Beckstrom Dear Team Members: 1) The following ICANN staff members are looking forward to joining you in London for your first formal meeting to provide substantive information on Whois matters and relevant ICANN activities: Denise Michel - Advisor to the President & CEO Liz Gasster - Senior Policy Counselor, ICANN Policy Support Stacy Burnette - Director, Contractual Compliance Olof and Alice, of course, also will be there to support the Team's operational and administrative needs. It would be helpful to receive this week input on what the Team would like staff to cover at the meeting and any specific questions the Team would like the staff to address. While staff is committed to being as responsive and helpful as possible, depending on the complexity of the requests, staff may also provide follow-up answers and information in writing after the meeting. 2) Following-up on a request by some Team members in Cartagena that Assistant Secretary Strickling and CEO Beckstrom talk to the Team about their "intent" regarding the Whois review language in the Affirmation of Commitments, I have asked their respective schedulers to try to find time for a brief conference call with the Team during your London meeting. Their staff are making every effort to re-arrange schedules to get them both on the phone with you for a brief chat. I am assuming that, if their schedules can't be synced, as a fall-back you would want to speak with them individually. Please let me know if this is not the case. I look forward to seeing you all in London.
