<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear all,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thank you again for highlighting the importance of clearly communicating to the community that the facilitated discussions at ICANN58 are open sessions. Following additional internal coordination and discussion
with Bruce and Board members who are interested in attending the Saturday morning session, the best solution seems to be to hold it as a
<b>90-minute session, from 08.30 – 10.00</b>. Starting at 08.30 means we can also minimize the inconvenience for those staying further away from the venue, since the ICANN-provided shuttles do not start running until 07.00. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Please therefore note the new time on your personal meeting schedules – we have put in a request to make sure that the new time, and the fact that it is an open session for all to attend and observe, appears
on the published meeting schedule so the change should be processed soon. The location (Hall C1.4) remains unchanged.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As Bruce noted (below), this Saturday morning session will focus on the topic of Red Cross identifier protections, while the Sunday evening session will focus on the topic of IGO acronyms protection. Staff
will work with Bruce to prepare proposed meeting agendas for both sessions.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’m afraid that, because the two session slots were proposed only after substantial consultation amongst support staff for the Board, GAC and GNSO as well as reviewing the meeting schedules for all three groups,
there really does not appear to be any other time available for us to be able to reschedule the Sunday evening session.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We understand that this will make for a very long day for everyone, and will add to the pressure and demands of a packed meeting schedule. Hopefully the fact that we will likely be able to provide refreshments
for the Sunday evening participants will go some small way toward alleviating the stress of a very long day.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

after the day began is pushing things a bit in terms of sustained energy and focus.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

to the venue early, a very early breakfast for the participants, and the overall rule about not starting before 08.30 a.m.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have the same information you do. There has certainly been no request from the Board to make these private.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In fact, these are not considered “Board sessions,” but rather sessions that some Board members have been specifically asked to attend, with others welcome as well. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The Board Ops team and I I did not “book the room” for these sessions, if you will, so I had no control over how they are listed.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Here’s what I did do related to these sessions: I worked with you and Mary to plan them for times that work for all parties, and I also offered to make breakfast available to the formal participants from the
GNSO and the GAC for the early meeting – that group can get breakfast with the Board that morning to make it easier for all of you, since the meeting starts so early. I did make clear that we cannot invite everyone who shows up for the meeting to get breakfast
– only the formal participants, which we are sure we can accommodate. This was discussed when Mary let us know the sessions would be “open,” which again, I had no opinion on, nor did I have any direction on this from the Board. The Board members who will attend
are responding to a request to do so, and did not comment on how the sessions would be run.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">That is the sum total of my involvement in planning these sessions.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I am copying Mary Wong here. From what I understand, Mary believes these sessions to be open as well – I recall her saying as much at one point in our planning. I am not sure why they are not appearing that
way on the calendar, but again, I am not in any way “in charge” of booking these sessions so will defer to Mary.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
