<p dir="ltr">Hi,</p>
<p dir="ltr">While it may be fine to have them meet openly, I don't think it's something to worry about. The reason is because of their role being advisory; one would expect that whatever they determine would still be forwarded to ccwg as an advice to consider.</p>

<br>
Will any ICANN staff or Board members participate in or attend the private meeting of the Advisors?<br>
<br>
Is there a reason their meeting is not open to observers?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Subject: [CCWG-ACCT] CCWG Advisors joining Istanbul meeting<br>
<br>
Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
Three of the Advisors will attend the CCWG meeting on Monday and Tuesday next week:<br>
<br>
Valerie D'Costa, Jan Scholte and Lee Bygrave<br>
(<a href="https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/Advisors" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/Advisors</a>)<br>
<br>
They arrive on Saturday and will hold their own meeting on Sunday morning and early afternoon. At least one other member, Willie Currie, will join remote.<br>
<br>
This is the first time any of them will have had chance to meet face to face. Tentative agenda for their meeting:<br>
<br>
09:00 - 15:00 local Istanbul (07:00 - 13:00 UTC)<br>
<br>
1. Introduction & Opening Remarks<br>
2. Topics of interest & Concerns<br>
3. Understanding the context and recent developments 4. How can we help the CCWG?<br>
5. Preparing for CCWG session<br>
6. A.O.B<br>
<br>
They will receive the same documents as all members of the CCWG, and we suspect their discussions will be shaped by those (WP1, WP2, stress test work party outcomes)<br>
<br>
They will join the welcome cocktail.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Adam<br>
