RE: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] 9 Nov meeting

[Karla Valente <karla.valente@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Eric and all:

There will be a New gTLD Program update on Monday, main room, as usual.
I have pre-booked a room for the main update session for us already with large 
capacity, interpreters, scribes, remote participation, etc. It is one of the 
best rooms in Cartagena, actually the same room where we will have the majority 
of the new gTLD program session during that week.

I hope the date/time does not present conflict, otherwise we might need to 
compromise :-(



Thanks,

Karla Valente

Karla,

There are two functions to consider.

There is the continued work of the group, through its participants who 
are present and available for a face-to-face meeting during the ICANN 
public meeting.

And there is the presentation of the work-to-date to non-participants, 
the media included, who are present and available for a presentation 
during the ICANN public meeting.

Knowing how extremely difficult it is to get rooms in the venue, and 
not knowing how many participants will be at Cartagena, I hope others 
will indicate if they plan to attend this particular meeting, and if 
so, if they want to commit to a day or an alternate form of finding 
time and place to conduct a meeting.

Knowing how extremely important it is for ICANN to conduct externally 
facing proof-of-service events, I'm sure that an adequate room can be 
found for presentation of the Milestone, and that Kurt will find a way 
to include the highlights of the Milestone in what we affectionately 
refer to as the "Kurt Show".

Eric
