Subject: GNSO Council - Development & Induction Session - Friday 17th October
Importance: High

Dear GNSO Colleagues,

Following on from the successful session we held in Buenos Aires, the GNSO 
Council will again hold an induction and development session.

The primary purpose is to induct "new" councillors who are joining the Council 
for the first time following the annual meeting and, in addition, to ensure 
that the GNSO Council is an effectively functioning vital organ within the 
GNSO. In so doing, we avoid the situation where new councillors are not 
adequately inducted and that the Council functions effectively from the outset. 
Further, that it is not seated together for the first time in February 2015.

A key component of the induction and ongoing development of the Council is to 
ensure that the Council is properly oriented within the GNSO.
I believe that we handled this effectively last year by inviting GNSO SG & 
Constituency leadership representatives to participate in the first session of 
the Development and Induction day.

Accordingly, I would like to invite you (or an appropriate alternate) together 
with the GNSO selected ICANN board members to participate on the morning of 
Friday 17th October.
As before, I expect the session to run from approximately 10 to 11h30 and will 
be very pleased if you could factor this into your planning for ICANN 51 in LA.

I sincerely hope that you (or an appropriate alternate from our SG or 
Constituency) will be able to attend this important session and, any event, 
look forward to meeting with you in October.
Confirmation of receipt of this email and ideally acceptance to attend the 
session will be much appreciated.

Best wishes,



Jonathan
