[council] GNSO Council Meeting 16 March 13:30-17:30 local time

[David Olive <david.olive@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Stephane and GNSO Council Members:

As you know,  we have had to move the GNSO Council meeting from the Ballroom to 
another room because of recent schedule changes. The most appropriate space for 
the Council meeting is to move it back to the Tower Salon A where the weekend 
working sessions will be held. We have worked hard with the ICANN meeting staff 
to arrange the room in a way that we hope will be acceptable.

The Tower Salon A room set-up will be:

- a head table, long L shape (closed on both ends) for the Council and 3/4 
staff, (27)
- the audience will be seated in front of the head table, seating for 100+ as 
if they were in an auditorium, but flat, no raised 'stage'.
- plasma screens in front of the Council members,
- live scribing and two big screens
- lunch at 13:00 for the Council only
- coffee/tea break in the room for the Council only

The meeting will start at 13:30 and go on to 17:30 local time.

In addition, please note that continuing discussions between the Board and the 
Governmental Advisory Committee have also resulted in schedule changes for 
ICANN's upcoming meeting Silicon Valley – San Francisco Public Meeting.  The 
Silicon Valley meeting schedule will be updated shortly.   More information is 
at http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-10mar11-en.htm.

 We apologize for these last minute changes, which we know may cause some 
inconvenience.

Best regards,         David
