Jonathan,
 
Are you proposing a standard meeting of 2 hours or perhaps one of a shorter 
duration?

  All,
 
 It seems that we could usefully meet in order to progress a number of open 
items ahead of our next scheduled meeting on May 8th 2014.
 
 We currently have a meeting scheduled for April 10th at 14h00 UTC.  This 
meeting was scheduled to deal only with Board Seat 14.
 
 Whilst it is the case that the operating procedures make reference to 
“confirmation of election” we will interpret this as essentially an 
administrative point and not something requiring a motion.
 Therefore, I have asked the NCPH to advise the Council of their (Board Seat 
14) selection as soon as practical and I will then take it upon myself (in my 
capacity as Council Chair) to notify ICANN. 
 The GNSO Council will then take advantage of the next available Council 
meeting to confirm this for the record i.e. “confirmation of election” by 
simply noting and recording the selection of the NCPH i.e. a special meeting is 
NOT required for this point alone.
 
 Notwithstanding the above, the Council could usefully hold an additional 
meeting between now and the next scheduled meeting on May 8th and so I propose 
to continue with the currently scheduled meeting on April 10th at 14h00 UTC.
 
 Please make note of this time and also that an agenda will be published within 
48 hours.
 
 Thanks,
 
 
 Jonathan
