[Maria Farrell]

Dear fellow Councillors,

FYI below is the just-finalised programme for a one-day conference on ICANN
and Internet governance to be held in Singapore the Friday before our
meeting there starts.

All the best, Maria

*"ICANN and Global Internet Governance: The Road to São Paulo, and Beyond"*

A conference to be held on Friday 21 March 2014 at the ICANN 49 meeting
venue, the Raffles City Convention Centre, Singapore, in the Olivia Room,
from 10:00 to 18:00.

Organized by the NonCommercial Users Constituency (NCUC) of the Generic
Names Supporting Organization, with the generous support of ICANN.

Logistical information, conference registration (important!) and the
program are now online at http://www.ncuc.org/singapore2014/

We very much want this to be an inclusive cross-community dialogue, so we
hope people will consider attending, either in person or remotely, and
please do share this with potentially interested colleagues.  We are
compiling some background materials related to the session topics for
addition to the web site, and personal/organizational written inputs would
be very much welcome.
