Great tool
thanks Grace.

In advance I apologize for the sudden disconnection due to health reasons

> As participants from around the world are preparing themselves for ICANN's
> 54th Public Meeting, theICANN Meetings Team has been hard at work to
> finalize the meeting schedule. Last week during an SO-AC-SG-C-RALO
> Leadership Call, ICANN staff was asked to provide options for community
> consideration to increase time in Dublin for discussions around the
> Enhancing ICANN Accountability process. Given the important circumstances
> and timely nature of the request, we identified timeslots for Enhancing
> ICANN Accountability discussions where we could insert new sessions with
> as little disruption as possible to the current meeting schedule.
>
> After a few days of brainstorming, our team was able to provide the
> community with three options for increasing CCWG-Accountability discussion
> time in Dublin. These options varied from little change/minimal disruption
> to significant change/significant disruption to the ICANN54 schedule. After
> discussions amongst the broader community on these three options, the SO-
> AC-SG-C-RALO Leadership Team reached consensus this morning on a
> middle-ground option, which would increase EnhancingICANN Accountability
> discussions without significant disruption to the current meeting structure.
>
> Finalization of agendas and details of these new sessions are forthcoming;
> the CCWG-Accountability co-Chairs will provide these details tomorrow,
> Tuesday, 13 October.
