RE: [council] Your feedback requested - GNSO Council Development Session in Buenos Aires

Marika, et. al.,
 
I don't see the need to pack, unpack and repack for a one-night stand an hour 
from the hotel we will have been in all week, unless, of course, the trip puts 
us an hour closer to the airport.  Our meetings are mostly in dimly lighted, 
windowless, over air-conditioned or over-heated rooms anyway.
 
My two Argentine pesos.
 
Cheers,

 Dear All,
 
As Jonathan already mentioned in Durban, the GNSO Council has received funding 
under the FY14 Special Community Requests to organise a Council Development 
Session directly after the ICANN meeting in Buenos Aires. The objective of this 
meeting is to allow for the Council, including those members newly seated in 
Buenos Aires, to get to know each other better, provide information on the 
functioning and operations of the GNSO Council and allow for planning for 
upcoming projects and activities, with the aim to further enhance the 
co-operation within and effectiveness of the GNSO Council. 
 
We are currently working on the logistics as well as the programme for this 
meeting and plan to keep you up to date on a regular basis with regards to the 
details. For now, we would like to ask you to make sure to reserve Friday 22 
November in your diaries for this meeting (with planned departure on Saturday 
23 November). Furthermore, we would like your input on the logistics for 
Thursday evening / Friday morning and would like to ask you to respond to the 
following doodle poll: http://www.doodle.com/uq77rvafpx3cthkb (in short, the 
question is whether people prefer to travel to the new venue, approx. 1 hour 
outside of Buenos Aires, on Thursday afternoon/evening or on Friday morning). 
 
Thanks for your assistance,
 
Marika
