<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear
Heather, Susan, Marilia, Stefania, Stephanie, Phil, Rafik,
Tony, Julf, Wolf-Ulrich, Paul and Martin,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I am writing
to seek your input as we (ICANN staff) begin working with
the GNSO Council leadership and the NCPH leadership to plan
two face-to-face meetings that have been approved for FY
2018. One is a 2-3 day strategic planning session for the
GNSO Council (approved as a pilot project for FY2018), and
the other is the periodic NCPH Intersessional meeting.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As the
application for the GNSO Council’s strategic planning
meeting had indicated that this might take place in January
2018, and as the NCPH Intersessional has traditionally taken
place in January or February, staff would like to know if
you believe it will be <u>preferable for these two meetings
to take place concurrently, such that both meetings can
occur within the space of a single week in the same
location, or if you think it will be better to plan them
as two separate meetings taking place at different times
in the year</u>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">You may be
interested to know that the ICANN process for face-to-face
meeting planning has been updated (as of June 2017), such
that meeting requests for location, dates and travel now
have to be sent in several months ahead of time. For the
GNSO Council strategic planning meeting, the budget approval
requires an ICANN office location, with preference for Los
Angeles – hence, if you think running both meetings
concurrently in the same week is better, this will most
probably mean that the NCPH Intersessional will take place
in Los Angeles as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We
understand that, as these events are going to take place in
calendar year 2018, several of you may no longer be on the
Council by that time. In addition, decisions and programming
concerning the NCPH Intersessional is the responsibility of
the NCPH leadership and not the GNSO Council. However, for
planning purposes we thought it appropriate to seek as much
input as possible from those community members who may be
most affected by the dates and timing, and so we hope you
are able to provide us with your opinion as to which option
is preferred. <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thanks and
cheers<o:p></o:p></span></p>
