<DIV>Yes chuck. Current "old" and new councillors would be invited as far as I
am concerned.<BR><BR>Sent from my iPhone</DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>With regard to the Saturday morning introductions
session, our weekend working sessions are generally open to anyone as
observers. It would seem to be okay if the same practice happened
except we might want to just have those on the Council introduce themselves
and discuss personal/constituency areas of concern. Would this involve
existing and new Councilors?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

know well, anytime there is a session with free drinks, the number of
participants can grow rapidly. Is it your intent that this should be
restricted to Councilors (new and old I presume) and ICANN Staff members who
support the Council?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>All,<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>As most of you will remember, on behalf of the
registrars, I suggested on the recent GNSO Council call that we should try
to create a number (two) fora in which we could get together and interact
on a social and informal level, especially in light of the introduction of
new Councillors.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I am not sure how much detail is required but here are
my previous suggestions that I sent Glen previously.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I think we should do two events.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The first would be to create an agenda item on the
Saturday morning where we could simply go around the room and introduce
ourselves and discuss openly any areas of concern - specifically to do
with the Council itself (points of view, voting etc). I know the
registrars for example would say that they are a little sick and tired of
being pigeonholed simply because they have commercial interests. I'm sure
other groups would have pet hates too.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Secondly I think we should have a social gathering on
the Saturday evening (perhaps just a few pre-dinner drinks if the budget
doesn't allow too much) where GNSO Councillors both new and old and ICANN
staff (those that interact regularly with the Council perhaps) can gather
once again for the purpose of getting to know new members better and, more
importantly, for each Constituency (Stakeholder Group) be able to convey
their distinct and perhaps unique perspectives on the Council and the
issues that are before us. That said, it is a social event. It is more
about getting to know the personalities that make up the GNSO
Council.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I believe that we would need a show of support for
these ideas in order for this to happen.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Can I please get your ideas/ thoughts/ suggestions or
support to the list please?<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<O:P></O:P></P>
