Fine with me (even better, actually, so I can refer people to the Council list).

Hi Kristina,

Let's see if we can't get answers from Staff on the points you raise first. 
Failing that, we can discuss on Thursday if there's time.

I hope that's OK.

Thanks,

Stéphane

Greetings,

I have two AOB requests/questions for staff for our 24 February Council meeting.

1.  Schedule for San Francisco Meeting:  What is the difference (other than the 
day) between the two "New gTLD Program: Discussion of Issues Identified by 
[GAC]" sessions that are scheduled for Monday and Wednesday?  Also, why is the 
Public Forum scheduled for only 2 hours (down from 5 in Cartagena) given that 
the room appears to be open long enough for a 4-hour public forum?

2.   Study on defense registrations/registrant behavior:  Today's announcement 
"New gTLD Program: Public Comment Summary & Analyses and Supporting Documents 
refers to a to-be-released "study of defensive registrations and registrant 
behavior in order to better understand the prevalence of defensive 
registrations in new gTLDs."  If that document has not been released by the 
time of our meeting, a brief summary from staff would be greatly appreciated.  
(In the alternative, I will be more than happy to forward to the appropriate 
staff person the tens of emails I've received asking me about it.)
Many thanks.
K
