<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi,<br>
I agree with Tim and Mary.<br>
When meetings are organized, there should be a commitment made by organizers
and local partners to allow everyone in the ICANN community to
participating in social events including the Gala dinner.<br>
It is extremely disappointing to have difficulties in getting one of the
invitations for those not part of a SO or AC, even when they volunteer time and
effort in different working groups or are just part of the community attending
the meeting.<br>
As new rules are being established for ICANN meetings organization, I suggest
that we address this comment to those in charge of preparing them.<br>

broadly, I find it troubling that these events are listed as "networking
events" on the schedule, but occasionally (usually at meetings where there
are very many attendees, e.g. Paris and now Brussels) an "ordinary"
member of the community (e.g. not a Board or Council member) is
told, after traveling to the meeting and after he/she has been
asked to name his/her hotel for transport to the gala, that he/she needs a
ticket on a "first come first served" basis (BTW the meeting website
merely hints vaguely at this, saying that "Invitations will be available
... starting on Tuesday etc.") </span><o:p></o:p></p>

appreciate that this kind of decision is made by the host/sponsor for
logistical reasons, and not ICANN, but to me it could - and probably will - be
taken as a poor reflection of ICANN (especially when so much volunteer time is
being asked of the community). I also appreciate that as a Council member I get
a ticket and in advance (thank you Glen!!!!) but if I were a non-Council but
active WG member, I might be troubled by that too.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

seems to me that if the host/sponsor cannot hold a splashy event that can
accommodate as many members of the community as wish to attend (some of whom
may be here for the first time or who may be funding themselves), then either
hold a less fancy/ambitious event so that more can attend, or don't hold one at
