<DIV></DIV>I too would be very interested in this. I've been inter alia
trying to encourage formation of a Development interest group in the NCSG,
have organized three IGF workshops on development and Internet governance,
will be writing about it for the UN, etc...

Please respond as soon as possible if you are interested. It might be

March and thereby obtain a little broader GNSO input before the
session.</FONT></SPAN></P>

[soac-discussion] Public Participation Committee public session,
invitation for SO/AC leaders' participation<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Dear SO and AC leaders:
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>On Wednesday 10th from 1600-1730 local time in Nairobi, the Board's
Public Participation Committee will hold its public meeting.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The PPC has asked me to ask you if a representative from each of the
ACs and SOs would care to be a part of the session by participating
in a panel, alongside the members of the PPC, to lead the discussion
of the various items on the agenda, and of course to
participate in the discussion directly. If one of you, or someone you wish
to nominate from your community, is unable to attend in-room we can
arrange for you to be able to participate remotely via audio
bridge.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The full agenda may be found at <A
href="http://nbo.icann.org/node/8950"
target=_blank>http://nbo.icann.org/node/8950</A>; I have not pasted
it below since the hyperlinks would not be usable and as you will
see when you browse the agenda the hyperlinks are quite integral to the
whole. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Finally, I hope you will accept my apologies in advance for
posting the agenda assuming that some members of the SOs and ACs
would be willing to participate as described. Given the subject, it seemed
that I would be on safe ground to make that assumption.</DIV>
