Subject: Intersessional Meeting Questioni

Dear Phil,

Thanks for the question.

I  think it is still in early stages but my understanding is what is published 
in the Board Approved FY13 budget.

http://www.icann.org/en/about/financials/adopted-opplan-budget-fy13-24jun12-en.pdf
in response to the SO/AC/constituency requests that are summarized in Appendix 
5 on page 68  - Note 2 on page 69 says

Note 2:  "A number of ICANN communities have proposed funding for 
intercessional meetings and outreach in various regions. ICANN believes that 
this presents potentially valuable opportunities for outreach and capacity 
building. Before committing to host the various requests, this two day January 
2013 pilot program   (in a hub city) will allow the organization to explore the 
idea and will serve to gather participants from all non contract communities. 
One day of the program will give the communities the opportunity to reach out 
to prospective members and the second would provide cross collaboration 
opportunities. Expenses would include staff coordination time, travel support 
and limited scribing, recording and transcript.

I have heard mention of end January.   LA or Brussels?     Rob Hogarth is 
tasked with working on the project.

The BC had requested funding for outreach events in Europe and Africa, but most 
other constituencies  had requested   intercessional meetings.  The result of 
BC request was "YES See note 2."

Hope that helps.

Asunto: RE: [bc-gnso] Revised agenda as outlined by chair on BC call.

For purposes of clarification, what would the focus of the potential 2-day 
meeting in BRU or LA(?) be, which ICANN groups would be invited, and 
approximately when would it be scheduled? I wasn't able to catch all the 
details.

Thanks in advance.
