- A Reminder

 

Dear Community Leaders:

 

It?s been an unusually busy August so far and, understandably, I have not
received much feedback from you all on prospective topics for your SO-AC
High-Interest topic at the ICANN51 Public Meeting in Los Angeles.  

 

Certain topics, such as ICANN Accountability, the IANA Stewardship
Transition,  and new gTLD Directory Services (WHOIS), appear to be covered
by other session programming on Monday or elsewhere during the week, so,
additional topics are now needed for the potential session discussion.

 

The staff meeting and programming team is giving me some more time to
collaborate with you on this session, and we should start identifying some
specific topics so that you have time to lead some conversations within your
communities over the next month in preparation for the LA session
discussion.

 

I?ve been able to extend the topic-brainstorming deadline to COB this
Thursday.  Please share any thoughts or ideas with me at your earliest
convenience.

 

Best,

 

David

Subject: SO-AC-SG HIGH INTEREST TOPIC SESSION @ ICANN 51 in Los Angeles

 

Dear SO/AC/SG Leaders:

 

Thank you all for confirming your interest in proceeding with the planning
for an SO-AC High Interest Session in Los Angeles.  Working with our staff
Meeting Team colleagues, it appears that Monday in LA will again offer the
best window for the session.  I have informed the ICANN 51 Steering
Committee of the need for the session and we have discussed the following
scenario.

 

Monday programming will offer opportunities for community discussion on a
range of topics of high interest to the community.  We can count on their
being at least one session addressing the IANA Stewardship Transition and
another session addressing the ICANN Accountability matter.  Heather has
also noted the likelihood of a GAC request for a session on Registration
Data (WHOIS) issues.

 

As a result of this overall concept, we suggest planning to conduct a
session that highlights one or two topics of high community interest that
are different from these three main topic areas.  It would be helpful to
have you share topic suggestion on this list over the next week or so.
Staff will compile the list of all suggestion received by 25 August and then
I?ll circulate the list of possibilities to all of you for winnowing down.
My hope is that, via email, we can quickly reach consensus on a couple of
topics so that all of you will have the opportunity to glean your community
views to share during the session.

 

Logistically, we will plan to run the session largely like the previous
hot-topic session in Buenos Aires ? recall the Brad White-led format.  I am
happy to get feedback from you on any improvements we can introduce to that
format previous format.

 

Looking forward to hearing your suggestion of topics.

 

Best regards,

 

David
