Unfortunately it is a challenge to balance representation with a manageable number of designated community representatives on the stage. We are going to go with the original suggestion of a maximum two (2) reps each from each of the ASO, ccNSO, GAC, SSAC and RSSAC communities, and include a maximum of four (4) participants from the GNSO (one per Stakeholder Group) and a maximum of 5 from At-Large (one per RALO). </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>We understand the concerns about providing speaking opportunities for as many people as possible, but Brad says even the number of 19 participants will be hard to manage and, if we are going to include audience participation, not everyone will likely have equal time to speak. You will not be penalized if you choose to designate fewer than the maximum number of participants to your community.</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='color:black'>Please provide the names of your designated speakers/participants as soon as possible to Rob Hoggarth at </span></i></b><span style='color:black'><a href="mailto:Robert.hoggarth@icann.org"><b><i>Robert.hoggarth@icann.org</i></b></a><b><i>.

I agree. The real value of the session will be in the public, real-time exchange of ideas and opinions between and among your communities. The quicker that can start, the more interesting and dynamic the session will be. We also hope to have several Board members and Senior ICANN staff in the session room. We will make sure they are identified, so there should be opportunities to engage with them or ask questions during the session.</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Keeping the theme of short, crisp “tweet-like” statements in mind, Rob and I will work with Brad on developing a flow to the session that creates the best opportunities for dialogue.

Unfortunately the schedule, as usual, is very tight and there are limited options to move any sessions to avoid conflicts. So far, it just hasn’t been possible to find good alternatives for any of the other scheduled sessions. We think the unique nature of this session and the importance of the issue will provide some great audience interaction and a good opportunity for dialogue. </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>As usual, your comments, thoughts and observations are welcomed.
