[Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Face to face facilitated Working Group session at ICANN52 in February 2015

Tue Nov 4 05:14:40 UTC 2014

Further to our earlier messages below, please note that ICANN has just
announced that the ICANN51 Public Meeting originally scheduled for Marrakech
will now take place in Singapore:
https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-11-03-en.

The dates (8-12 February 2015) remain unchanged, but for your planning
purposes I hope this news is helpful. We will be following up with each SG/C
and participating SO/Acs in due course with a request for the names of the
WG participants they each intend to nominate for the one-day facilitated
session for our WG slated for Friday 13 February; for now, for those
community members whose travel to ICANN52 is being funded by ICANN, please
look out for information from your SG/C/SO/AC leaders and ICANN Constituency
Travel, especially as regards deadlines for travel bookings and so on.

Thanks and cheers
Mary

>> Dear WG members,
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> At the GNSO Council¹s wrap up meeting in Los Angeles earlier this month, the
>> Council discussed the selection of the next Working Group that it thought
>> would be 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.
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> 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.
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> Please note that funding for the one-day session is provided only for one or
>> two nights¹  hotel accommodation; it does not cover airfare or other travel
>> costs. 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. Friday 13 February 2015.
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> 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:
>> https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-10-26-en. 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.
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> 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.
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> I¹d be happy to provide more information about the one-day facilitated
>> session on our call tomorrow.
