<div>Dear All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On behalf of the GNSO New ICANN Meeting Strategy Drafting Team, please find a first draft of the outline of the GNSO related meetings under the new ICANN Meeting Strategy which will take effect in 2016. The drafting team would be interested to obtain the
input from you and/or your respective groups on this proposed outline via the mailing list and/or during the upcoming GNSO Council meeting so that any further changes can be made before this draft is shared with other SO/ACs ahead of the ICANN meeting in Buenos
Aires. As discussed previously, co-ordination with other SO/Acs on the new meeting strategy will be of key importance to avoid potential conflict and/or overlap and as such the drafting team aims to work with the other SO/ACs to co-ordinate the approach for
the new ICANN Meeting Strategy in Buenos Aires which is intended to result in a ‘final’ outline post BA. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the attached document you will find a summary of the main objectives of each of the meetings (A, B and C) as outlined by the ICANN Meeting Strategy Working Group, a high level schedule as prepared by the ICANN Meeting Strategy Working Group complemented
by yellow additions that reflect the GNSO related meetings as well as a block schedule that has been prepared by the drafting team to further detail the expected GNSO related meetings. Note that for the B meeting a number of assumptions have been made that
are listed on page 4 and 5. As a reminder, the B meeting reflects the biggest departure from the current meeting structure as it is a 4-day meeting focused on outreach and SO/AC work. </div>

<div>Best regards,</div>
