Hi Olof From a GNSO perspective, we do not want to split the two RDS sessions over two days and do not support the requested change by the GAC.

Hi Greg Unfortunately I don’t think your suggestions work either. I’ve responded inline below, but I just want to make a couple general comments. This is a policy forum. I don’t consider a session about ‘Who Sets ICANN’s Priorities’ to be, in the GNSO sense, to be policy. In that respect, I would prefer that deference be given to the non-conflicted sessions being allocated to the PDP WG efforts so that they are afforded an opportunity to engage with the community beyond their PDP WG, particularly including GAC members. I also appreciate that this may be a topic of great interest across the community and as such, I wonder if this is a topic that can be deferred until the Abu Dhabi meeting if we are unable to find a suitable time for everyone in Johannesburg. I would also note that this meeting does follow a different format, which provides challenges and constraints to all of us. I appreciate that the GAC dedicates time to communique drafting on Wednesday afternoon, but I wonder if the GAC has considered shifting the drafting of the communique to Thursday morning in order to be able to participate in the afternoon sessions.

King <tanzanica.king@icann.org>; soac-leaders-icann59@icann.org Subject: Re: [Soac-leaders-icann59] ICANN59 Block Schedule v2 - Cross Community Topics I would suggest the following: 1. Move the first Geo Names session from Tuesday to Block 1 Monday, where the Fundamental Bylaws session is. The first Geo Names session needs to take place as early in the week as possible, since the proposal contemplates a sprint between the first session and the second (double) session to develop a strawman framework for discussion at the second session. DA: The Geo Names should be a non-conflicted session and I’m not confident that the suggested move will achieve that. 2. Move the ICANN Priorities session from Wednesday to Tuesday (where Geo Names was). 2. Move the Fundamental Bylaws session to Wednesday (where ICANN Priorities was). DA: I suspect this is a session of interest to the GAC as well. The other alternative is to move the RDS double session to Wednesday, put Priorities and Operations in the RDS slot, and swap Fundamental Bylaws and Geo Names I. DA: Moving the RDS sessions to Wednesday in direct conflict with the communique drafting is not an option for the reasons stated above. I share Donna's concerns. At ICANN57 I chaired a split IPC session that had previously been done as a single long session; the result was suboptimal.
