Thanks Marilyn.

On the weather front, it can be really windy at times, and cool in the
morning and evenings. A light jacket and sweaters can be helpful layers
to have. It can get quite warm in the afternoon so light clothing is
also advisable.

Travel safely.

Best regards,

Ayesha

Schedule/introducing new workshops/

 

Dear members

 

I know we are all feeling a little buffetted by the lateness in the
ICANN agenda and availability of agendas for various workshops.

 

I wanted to call your attention to two rather major changes on Monday: a
new workshop that was given 2 hours, which is a considerable amount of
time, has resulted in other agenda changes which are problemmatic to the
BC's ability to fully participate in two important workshops: WHOIS RT
and ICANN and the Internet Governance Landscape.  

 

It is regrettable that ICANN is struggling with the details of the
agenda and the materials. 

 

There are also now late publication of some other materials, so we will
all have some on site work to do to get caught up on new details. 

 

 I do appreciate your flexibility and the good will that the BC members
always show in dealing with such challenges. 

I know we are all once again drowning in last minute stuff, but that
means that the staff is probably also feeling a bit buffetted. 

 

We will do our best, but I think we may have some discussions by email
over the Sat/Sun on substance topics. 

 

Travel safely, and just a heads up: it is lovely and warm here during
day, but I think a light jacket may be needed [or for men, your suit
jacket may feel good!] I just got here and I can tell I'll be a bit
chilly during the evenings. Ayesha has been here a day more so may have
an insight...

 

I will ask Bene to do a new version of our marked up BC meeting schedule
[the one with the orange codes] and publish it on Sunday. that way, she
can catch any further changes that happen.
