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>

color=#0000ff size=2>Regarding the Saturday evening social session, as you 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>
