<div dir="ltr">Dear <span><span class="" style>Magaly</span></span>,<div><br></div><div>Hello everyone. I'm new on the list and the group but this is as good a time as any to make my first intervention. Thank you <span class="" style>Rafik</span> and all the members on the list for extending a very warm welcome. Been in travel so couldn't respond sooner. The essence of the <span><span class="" style>ICANN</span></span> meetings remains MS engagement and the ability to think on our feet, if we can be flexible and there's room for improvement by accommodating some changes in the existing <span>schedule</span> we should do so, depending also on how the larger community feels about it. <span><span class="" style>Netmundial</span></span> is a unique experiment which has given us several lessons and takeaways especially on the process of facilitating MS engagement. Both the transition and accountability now need more conversations than ever. Option 1 looks good, writing in my personal capacity. Looking forward to the call today.<br>

<b>Subject:</b> Re: [Soac-infoalert] ICANN 50 possible Thursday change<u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:Cambria,serif">Folks,</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Cambria,serif">Sally Costerton and I thank you all for your helpful responses to my earlier note on the idea of changing the Thursday agenda to accommodate more time for the public dialogue we need to deliver at our forthcoming London meeting. We are acutely conscious that the combination several major one-off events - the High Level Government Meeting (HLGM) and the two public consultations are putting significant pressure on the agenda for ICANN50. </span><u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Cambria,serif"><br><br></span><u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Cambria,serif">We are juggling trying to maximise flexibility for SOACs to do their work, access to the HLGM and the need to provide slots for Hot Topics for cross community dialogue with minimal agenda conflict. </span><u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Cambria,serif"><br><br></span><u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Cambria,serif">Having considered your feedback and consulted with staff, we suggest two options below. <b><u>Please pick one and let us know over the next day or two.</u></b></span><u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Cambria,serif"><br><br></span><u></u><u></u></p></div><div><ol start="1" type="1"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Cambria,serif">We make the changes to Thursday as suggested and support this by running an additional IANA stewardship transition session on Monday after the opening session and provide support to the SOAC groups to find alternative slots on the agenda in addition to the early Thursday slot as needed. We pilot remote hubs using two-way video and hopefully a YouTube channel. The use of remote hubs actually doubled participation at NETmundial so could be a real opportunity to diversify input.<br>
<br><br><br></span><u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Cambria,serif">We keep Thursday as it usually runs with a four hour public forum and run two consultation sessions - one on the IANA stewardship transition and one on the ICANN accountability dialogue on a 'normal' schedule - this would be Monday or Wednesday to get time that is minimally conflicted. This would be much like Singapore. We would not set up the video remote hubs in this case or possibly the YouTube channel. This would maintain the full Public Forum but reduce the time and attention for the two consultation sessions. Also the Monday sessions will have to run parallel to the HLGM and we know that UKG have requested a session on IANA oversight transition led by Larry Strickling. </span><u></u><u></u></li>
</ol></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Cambria,serif"><br><br></span><u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Cambria,serif">Finally we are very aware that the community wants to improve the issue of agenda conflict at ICANN meetings. This topic was addressed in detail by the Meeting Strategy Working Group which recently had its report out for public comment. There was a previous opportunity to see this but in case you haven’t, not here is a copy of the recommendations <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/participation/mswg/recommendations-25feb14-en.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/participation/mswg/recommendations-25feb14-en.pdf</a></span><u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Cambria,serif">If you can let us know which option you prefer over the next 48 hours we would appreciate it. If we go for option 1 we need to let the community know early next week so that they can confirm travel and we can start the call to set up the hubs.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
