In motion 4b - GNSO Improvements Implementation Plan (copied below),
passed unanimously by the Council on 16 October, note that we resolved
the following: "The GNSO Council requests that constituencies, NomCom
appointees, the ALAC and the GAC identify representatives to serve in
the two Standing Committees as defined in the Plan by 24 October 2008 if
possible, but not later than 31 October; Kickoff meetings of the
Standing Committees be held during the ICANN meetings in Cairo (1-7
November 2008) with teleconference capability for any who may not be
able to attend in-person."
 
This is a reminder to encourage constituencies and NomCom reps to
identify one representative for each of the two steering committees
[Policy Process Steering Committee (PPSC) and Operations Steering
Committee (OSC)].  
 
ALAC and GAC liaisons are also encouraged to work within your
organizations to identify one representative for each of the two
steering committees. 
 
Note that representatives do NOT have to be Councilors.
 
The first meetings of the two SCs are presently scheduled for Sunday, 2
November in Cairo as follows:

*       Separate and simultaneous meetings for the two SCs from 11:15 am
to 12:15 pm
*       A joint follow-up meeting from 15:30 to 16:30.

Assuming there are no objections:

*       Avri and I will serve in our capacity as Chair and Vice Chair
respectively on separate SCs: Avri will serve on the PPSC and I will
serve on the OSC.
*       It will be up to the SCs to select chairs but to facilitate the
kickoff meetings on 2 November, Avri and I will temporarily serve as
chairs.

If a representative is not able to attend the kickoff meetings, I
suggest that an alternative be identified who is able to attend.
 
If there are any questions, please ask.
 
Thanks, Chuck
 
Motion 4b.
