Objet: [Soac-infoalert] ICANN 50 possible Thursday change

SO and AC chairs,

As you know, ICANN50 is fast approaching and post NETmundial we are now turning 
our thoughts to the tricky subject of how to ensure that we carve out enough 
quality time in the agenda to handle effective and comprehensive public 
dialogues on the Transition of the NTIA Stewardship of the  IANA function as 
well as the new ICANN Accountability track.  These will both require a chunk of 
non-conflicted time in London and the ability to offer high quality remote 
access to maximise participants from around the world.

To the latter, we're exploring the possibility of setting up a series of remote 
hubs as some of you will have seen used at NETmundial to great acclaim. We will 
explore this idea further over the next week or so and keep you updated.

On the scheduling point, we'd like to suggest that for this meeting only we 
reshuffle the planned Thursday agenda.  Currently our thinking is that we start 
the morning at 8.30 to allow those groups having wrap up sessions to handle 
those requirements between 8.30 and 10am.  We follow this with a two hour 
session on ICANN Accountability followed by an early lunch break and then run a 
session on the Transition of the NTIA Stewardship of the  IANA function from 
1-3 or 3.30.  This is the most effective time slot to maximise international 
participation. We'd run a shorter Public Forum from 4 - 6 and wrap up with a 
public Board meeting finishing at 7 and then Cocktails.

The RSSAC would like an open session during the meeting and we'd propose to put 
that into a Monday afternoon slot.  We anticipate that two hours will probably 
be adequate for the Public Forum because the Transition of the NTIA Stewardship 
of the  IANA function and ICANN Accountability topics will be very important 
for the community and would likely take up a chunk of the public forum under 
normal cirumstances.

If you are in agreement with this suggestion we'd like to communicate it this 
week to enable people to firm up their travel plans.

Please let us know your thoughts in the next day or two.

Thank you.

Steve.
