<div>Donna -</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the lead on this. In the last few weeks, planning for Meeting B has become almost as controversial as most policy topics. You’ve outlined a solid foundation for the GNSO to focus on Policy Work in Helsinki, and please keep us updated
as the afternoon cross-community topics are finalized.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Council Colleagues-</div>
<div>It would be good to know if any SGs/Cs are planning break-out sessions of their own, like an abbreviated Constituency Day. If you like we can ask that these be included in the general calendar. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, Ed has volunteered (thanks!) to work with Glen on planning a dinner for our group in Helsinki, with the most likely candidates being Sunday (26 JUN) or Monday (27 JUN). My personal preference would be to gather on Sunday evening, but not if it means
we are missing several Councilors. Therefore, could everyone please indicate whether your travel schedules will allow dinner on Sunday, or wether we should try for Monday?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks—</div>

Attached is the current draft schedule including for the GNSO. Given Meeting B is intended to be an opportunity to progress policy development efforts, most of the GNSO schedule has been carved out for four policy efforts, namely:</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

There is also time set aside for the discussion of other topics on Monday—once the full agenda is locked down we can review to understand what topics will require attention. It may also be possible/necessary to schedule some of these topics in parallel; however,
they would not conflict with PDP or Council sessions. The topics are consistent with those previously identified by the Council.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

on a number of topics that Councilors had identified. There were 12 topics identified in total and it is not clear at this time what topics will be selected. It is hoped that some of the PDP efforts will become topics identified for Cross Community Discussion
and in that event the GNSO Schedule will be adjusted accordingly.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
