<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The ICANN Board Public
Participation Committee (PPC) will be holding a special public session on
Monday 5 October at 15:00 UTC to discuss the Committee's work, focusing in
particular on the Document Publication Operational Policy currently out for
public comment.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The public session will be
held entirely online using the conferencing software that ICANN has been
testing over the course of 2009 for its remote participation abilities. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Any and all community members
are invited to join the session, which will be accessible through the address: <a
href="http://icann.na3.acrobat.com/ppc/">http://icann.na3.acrobat.com/ppc/</a>.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The meeting will be split
into two parts:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style='margin-top:0cm' type=disc>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"'>The first will cover the broad issue of public
participation within ICANN and Committee members will outline what they
are currently working on, as well as take questions and suggestions. Input
will be fed into the Committee's public session at the international
public meeting in Seoul at the end of October.</span><o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<ul style='margin-top:0cm' type=disc>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2'><span style='font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"'>The second part will take up the majority of the
time and be dedicated to community discussion of the Document Publication
Operational Policy. Input will be fed into the public comment period
currently open on the operational policy.</span><o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The operational policy covers
the provision of documents and meeting agendas a set time ahead of an ICANN
international public meeting, and also includes sections on the provision of
executive summaries, plain language, use of jargon and acronyms, translation
and so on. It was put out for public comment on 8 September and comments on it
will be accepted for three days following the PPC public session.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The date of the PPC public
session – Monday 5 October – is particularly relevant as it is also the
deadline date for the Seoul meeting (15 working days ahead of the opening day
on 26 October).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>In particular, the Committee is
interested in hearing the community's perspectives on the potential impact of
the operational policy and what may be done to alleviate any issues.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
