Background

The 2017 Intersessional Meeting of the GNSO's Non-Contracted community will
be the fourth time that representatives from ALL the non-contracted
communities of the Generic Names Supporting Organization will gather as a
group with ICANN Staff outside of a typical ICANN Public Meeting setting.

One of the purposes of this Intersessional meeting of the GNSO Non Contract
Party community is to create the opportunity, outside of the pressures and
schedule strains of an ICANN Public Meeting to discuss longer-range
substantial community issues and to collaborate with Senior ICANN Staff on
strategic and operational issues that impact the community. The
non-contract community leaders in attendance will be a healthy mix of ICANN
veterans and several new participants who will be experiencing their first
ICANN community meeting.

In addition to the in-person attendees, there will be a few others
community members participating remotely by telephone and Adobe Connect.

Location: Reykjavik, Iceland

Timing: Week of February 13, 2016

Duration: 2/2.5 days
