<p class="MsoNormal">Please find attached the most recent draft GNSO community schedule for the ICANN60 Public Meeting in Abu Dhabi, scheduled from 28 October – 3 November. In accordance with the session requests that staff put in following consultations with
 our co-chairs, this Working Group has been allotted a total of <u>six hours</u> of meeting time, divided as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo6"><b>Saturday 28 October: two 90-minute sessions starting at 15.15 local time<o:p></o:p></b></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo6"><b>Monday 30 October: a third 90-minute session starting at 15.15 local time<o:p></o:p></b></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo6"><b>Thursday 2 November: a fourth, and final, 90-minute session starting at 13.30 local time<o:p></o:p></b></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please note that, as with all ICANN Public Meetings, finding slots with minimal conflicts for as many participants as possible is not easy. Staff has worked closely with the GNSO Council leadership to try to ensure that there are no conflicts
 with major GNSO working sessions and the other PDP Working Groups, while minimizing conflicts with broader cross-community sessions that may be of interest to the GNSO community. This meeting will also be ICANN’s Annual General Meeting, and in accordance with
 the community-developed meeting strategy there will be two Public Forums, a whole day dedicated to community groups (generally called “Constituency Day”) and much of a day dedicated to discussing the work of the various GNSO policy groups (i.e. the GNSO Working
 Sessions on Sunday 29 October).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let us know if you have questions about the schedule. This is a draft schedule that is still subject to change, but we are hopeful that the four RPM sessions are more or less firm. As always, remote participation (e.g. Adobe Connect,
 phone bridge, transcriptions and recordings) will be available for those who will not be attending the meetings in person.<o:p></o:p></p>
