[council] Protecting Rights of Others Working Group: Meeting Call

[Liz Williams <liz.williams@xxxxxxxxx>]

Colleagues


There has been something of a lag on getting the PRO-WG group off the  
ground. To address that in an efficient manner, I will be convening  
the first meeting of the group on Tuesday 20 Feb at 7:30 LA, 10:30 am  
EST, 15:30 UTC, 16:30 CET.
Please review the latest draft of the Statement of Work found at  
http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg03194.html
At the first meeting we will:

1.  appoint a chair of the group

2.  review the existing Statement of Work and agree its final form

3.  agree the first tranche of activities to be completed between now  
and the ICANN Lisbon meeting
The rules of the Working Group will be similar to those of the IDN-WG  
(found at http://gnso.icann.org/announcements/announcement-18nov06.htm)
Can I urge you please to consult with your constituencies and propose  
participants for the group?  It is MOST likely that there will be an  
aggressive schedule of activities to support the work as this work is  
being conducted in the context of the new TLDs Committee activities  
and is time critical.  This will mean small working groups or  
individual efforts and, at a minimum, a weekly conference call.
Please respond to the GNSO secretariat to indicate that you or your  
constituency representative wants to be included in a new public  
mailing list.
Kind regards and, of course, any questions, please call or email.

Liz
