at a stage to benefit from the pilot project it is testing in this financial year (FY15). The pilot project is basically a one-day face to face meeting of a selected Working Group at an ICANN Public Meeting, with the objective of assisting that selected WG
to complete its work effectively and efficiently through a full-day session run by a professional as well as a community-based facilitator. As our WG is making good progress such as to be on track for completing many of our chartered tasks by the ICANN53 Public
Meeting in June 2015, the Council has selected our WG for the one-day facilitated session at ICANN52 in February 2015.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">This will be the second group selected for this one-year pilot project, the first having been the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP Working Group
in Los Angeles. Feedback given by that WG following their one-day session indicates that they found it extremely helpful in working through some difficult questions and in further making progress toward completion of their work. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">Please note that funding for the one-day session is provided only for one or two nights’ hotel accommodation;
<u>it does not cover airfare or other travel costs</u>. In order to ensure sufficient representation at the meeting by the broad diversity of interests represented in the GNSO and other ICANN groups, each GNSO Stakeholder Group/Constituency and all other participating
Supporting Organization/Advisory Committees will each be assigned 6 hotel nights (so that each group can nominate between 3 to 6 members to attend, for 1 to 2 nights each.) With this in mind, staff therefore proposes that the one-day session take place on
the Friday immediately following the official end of the ICANN meeting, i.e. <b>
Friday 13 February 2015</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">Some of you may have heard that ICANN is currently considering postponing the February 2015 meeting due to the possibility of travel restrictions to Marrakech
being placed on ICANN community members: <a href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-10-26-en">https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-10-26-en</a>. I do not at this time have any updated information or confirmation of either a continuation,
postponement or cancellation of the Marrakech meeting; however, should the meeting go ahead as planned, staff wanted you to have as much notice as possible of the additional meeting day for our WG. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">You may wish to note also that if your travel to ICANN52 will be covered at least in part by ICANN Constituency Travel, I am informed that the names and travel
dates of ICANN-sponsored travelers will need to be submitted by 10 November 2014. Please look out for further notices about this and the fate of the Marrakech meeting from my colleagues who are involved in meeting and travel planning.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">I’d be happy to provide more information about the one-day facilitated session on our call tomorrow.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">Thanks and cheers<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">Mary<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">Mary Wong<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">Senior Policy Director<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN)<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">Telephone: +1 603 574 4892<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">Email:
