Nice to hear from you, Mike! <div><br></div><div>When you get into Seoul, if you are looking for where the majority of the BC members who are here are 'hanging' out, on Sunday a.m., you will find some in Emerald Room and some in Sapphire Room beginning at 9 a.m.</div><div><br></div><div>At 11:30 a.m. probably EVERYONE from the BC, as well as others, will be in Emerald, since Kurt Pritz is doing an update on the new gTLD process. </div><div> <div>It will be great to have a chance to talk to you and also to Chris Martin regarding both topics while you are both here in Seoul. thanks for making that offer via the BC list. </div><div><br></div><div>One point: I wanted to note that on Wednesday at 11 a.m., there is also an important meeting related to the Nom Committee [NomComm] Presentation of the WG Report -- I believe that BC members may be interested in that report, since it has significant implications for how to improve the NomComm process and the NomComm.</div><div><br></div><div>Mike, I am not sure if you have that meeting on your agenda already. That meeting, just so all understand, is at the same time as the GNSO Policy Council meeting, and also competes with the DNSSEC Workshop. For the convenience of the BC members and Mike, I've pasted that meeting below. </div><div><br></div><div>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Myriad Pro', 'Myriad Web', 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
