[council] GNSO Council - Development & Induction Session - Friday 23 October 2015

GNSO SG & Constituency Chairs



Dear GNSO Colleagues,



Following on from the successful sessions that we have held after the past two 
ICANN Annual General meetings the GNSO Council will again hold an induction and 
development session after the Dublin meeting on Friday, 23 October 2015.



The primary purpose is to induct and introduce "new" councillors who are 
joining the Council for the first time following the annual meeting and to 
introduce the entire council to working together through some evaluation and 
planning work. In taking this initiative, we aim to avoid the situation where 
councillors joining the Council are not adequately inducted and also to ensure 
that the Council functions as effectively as possible from the outset.



A key component of the induction and ongoing development of the Council is to 
ensure that the Council is also properly oriented within the GNSO. In  the  
past this has been effectively handled by ensuring that Councillors are aware 
of the role and remit of the Council and moreover, by inviting GNSO Stakeholder 
Group & Constituency leadership representatives to participate in the first 
session of the Development and Induction day.



Accordingly, you (or an appropriate alternate) are invited, together with the 
two ICANN GNSO selected board members, to participate on the morning of Friday 
23rd October 2015. The initial session in which you are invited to participate 
is expected to run from approximately 10 to 11h30 and we will be very pleased 
if you could factor this into your planning for ICANN 54 in Dublin.



We sincerely hope that you (or an appropriate alternate from your SG or 
Constituency) will be able to attend this important session and, in 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
