> Draft Schedule Agenda
>
> Dear SO-AC Leaders:
>
>
> On behalf of the ICANN Meetings Team, attached please find a  
> confidential first draft of the schedule/agenda for the ICANN  
> Public Meeting in Beijing for your review and comments.   
> Specifically, the Meeting?s Team would like you to get your  
> feedback on the current list of ?high interest? main session  
> topics and the flow of the schedule throughout the week to make  
> sure that we are on the right track.
>
>
> Under Fadi and Sally?s direction, this first draft reflects a new  
> approach to the schedule development process with an effort to map  
> the agenda to our new organizational structure and strategy, and  
> looking to ICANN?s functional staff leads to identify and/or  
> develop the important ?high interest? session topics for their  
> areas of responsibility.
>
>
> The primary objective of this new process is the overall  
> improvement of ICANN meetings for all participants by providing  
> reasonable working hours and allowing appropriate time for breaks  
> and meals, thereby increasing the opportunity for community  
> collaboration and interaction.  This means a reduction in the  
> overall number of sessions by using pre-meeting community webinars  
> for topic updates whenever possible, and the consolidation of  
> various sessions and topics into larger single sessions to  
> eliminate overlap, and increase cross-community participation in  
> related topics.
>
>
> With the primary objective in mind, the Meetings Team has  
> constructed an initial proposed agenda featuring several ?high- 
> interest? topic sessions to be held in the main meeting room and  
> secondary ballroom on Mon/Wed/Thurs. (See attached.) The session  
> topics have already gone under considerable review by Staff and  
> Board, but it is now time for your reaction and feedback.
>
>
> Please review the attached agenda and advise if you think the major  
> sessions in the two largest rooms are the most appropriate for the  
> meeting.  They currently include sessions on the following ?high  
> interest? topics:
>
>
> ?      CEO Welcome Session  (90 minutes)
>
> ?      IDN Variants (90)
>
> ?      Next Generation TLD Directory Services (75)
>
> ?      DNS Industry Engagement (new gTLDS, Trademark Protection,  
> RAA) (90)
>
> ?      Experts Panel on ICANN Security (90)
>
> ?      Policy vs. Implementation (90)
>
> ?      ATRT Phase 2 (90)
>
> ?      Operating Plan and Budget (90)
>
> ?      IPv6 Workshop (75)
>
> ?      Internet Governance (90)
>
> ?      Stakeholder Engagement (90)
>
> ?      GNSO Council Meeting (3 hours)
>
> ?      ICANN Public Forum (4.5 hours)
>
>
>
> Your feedback at this preliminary stage will be very helpful as we  
> continue to find ways to improve the scheduling process.  I hope we  
> will be able to get your feedback even earlier in our preparations  
> for the Durban Meeting.
>
>
> Please share your reactions and thoughts on the topics and the  
> overall agenda with this list.  I will collect all the feedback  
> received by COB February 18 and share it with the Meetings Team to  
> help develop the next draft version of the schedule.
