Kristina pointed out, this does not have to be limited to Councilors so please

volunteers to respond to the questions to allow Councilors to see their

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">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>
