[NCSG-PC] Preparing for Johannesburg Meeting

Mon Jun 12 05:22:25 EEST 2017

Hi,

taking on account the last comments, I think we can scale down for the
webinar having 1 hours instead of 2 hours and focusing on few topics: RDS,
RPM, and new gTLD subsequent procedures, also auctions. While there is the
ICANN policy webinar, our effort is complementing it and focusing on giving
our membership an insight about the NCSG positions, history and so on.

I would like to ask Stephanie, Kathy and Avri, if they can give a short
briefing about each working group and highlight where, is the focus now and
in Johannesburg meeting.
Policy staff released lately 2  newsletters and will do for the background
briefing soon, we can share them again to our membership and ask those
planning to attend to read them as background material.

the announcement for the webinar was not made yet to the list and I think
organizing it for this Friday will be short notice, I am thinking that
Monday would be appropriate. checking if that is ok for you.

Best,

Rafik
