Fwd: eco reception<br></font><br></div>
<div></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Dear Wolf-Ulrich,</div>
<div>eco is hosting receptions at ICANN meetings for quite a while now. The
idea is to provide a form for eco members as well as guests from the ICANN
community to meet and discuss. Each time, we invite a speaker to make a brief
speech setting the scene for further discussions amongst the participants or
just to update them on certain topics. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>In the past, we had speakers such as David Olive (replacing Rod
Beckstrom) or Harald Alvestrand. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>On this occasion, we have asked Stéphane to give an overview of the
current issues being worked on and future challenges of the GNSO as we felt
that a lot of attention has been given to the new gTLD program. Yet, there are
many and also very important issues that require our attention and community
participation. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>This is not about promoting eco or myself joining the GNSO Council next
week. It is rather to raise awareness and stimulate more active participation
by the community. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Kind regards,</div>
<div>Thomas</div>

<div></div>The point, as far as I'm concerned, is doing GNSO outreach.
<div><br></div>
<div>As for the other questions, I'll let Thomas answer if he wants
to.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If me doing a 10-minute talk on the way the GNSO works is going to
give rise to suspicions, rather than constructive comments on how this can
help improve awareness of what the GNSO Council does, I'm happy not to do
it.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Are you objecting to me doing it? Do others feel I should not do it?
Please let me know asap. It's because I have been invited in my capacity
as Chair that I wanted to give the Council prior warning in case this
posed a problem to some.</div>
