Thanks, Maria.  Looks like an excellent event.  Unfortunately my flight to 
Singapore arrives very late Friday night.

Subject: [council] FYI conference in Singapore: "ICANN and Global Internet 
Governance: The Road to São Paulo, and Beyond"

Dear fellow Councillors,

FYI below is the just-finalised programme for a one-day conference on ICANN and 
Internet governance to be held in Singapore the Friday before our meeting there 
starts.

All the best, Maria

"ICANN and Global Internet Governance: The Road to São Paulo, and Beyond"

A conference to be held on Friday 21 March 2014 at the ICANN 49 meeting venue, 
the Raffles City Convention Centre, Singapore, in the Olivia Room, from 10:00 
to 18:00.

Organized by the NonCommercial Users Constituency (NCUC) of the Generic Names 
Supporting Organization, with the generous support of ICANN.

Logistical information, conference registration (important!) and the program 
are now online at http://www.ncuc.org/singapore2014/

We very much want this to be an inclusive cross-community dialogue, so we hope 
people will consider attending, either in person or remotely, and please do 
share this with potentially interested colleagues.  We are compiling some
