<DIV>One point I might add is that the first item of the agenda, the draft
programme of the PPC for the next year, is also something the PPC will
invite comments on, even if they are non-official, in the first half of
the meeting. I noticed in the email that went to the council list
that this first item didn't appear; you may wish to let everyone know.</DIV>

[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>
