<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">As Jonathan already mentioned in Durban, the GNSO Council has received funding under the FY14 Special Community Requests to organise a Council Development Session
directly after the ICANN meeting in Buenos Aires. The objective of this meeting is to allow for the Council, including those members newly seated in Buenos Aires, to get to know each other better, provide information on the functioning and operations of the
GNSO Council and allow for planning for upcoming projects and activities, with the aim to further enhance the co-operation within and effectiveness of the GNSO Council. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

For now, we would like to ask you to make sure <b><u>to reserve Friday 22 November</u></b> in your diaries for this meeting (with planned departure on Saturday 23 November). Furthermore, we would like your input on the logistics for Thursday evening / Friday
morning and would like to ask you to respond to the following doodle poll: <a name="participationLink" id="participationLink"></a><a href="http://www.doodle.com/uq77rvafpx3cthkb">http://www.doodle.com/uq77rvafpx3cthkb</a> (in short, the question is whether
people prefer to travel to the new venue, approx. 1 hour outside of Buenos Aires, on Thursday afternoon/evening or on Friday morning). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
