RE: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] proposal for JAS session - Thursday 9 - 10 AM EDT

[Karla Valente <karla.valente@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Elaine,

Here are my 5 cents....publicized is not the same as understood. I take this 
from my personal experience on how much people actually DO NOT read materials 
posted and kind of questions I get. I also recommend, regardless of who is 
presenting, that there is a small intro to explain:
Why are we doing this?
Why is the important?
What does it mean to the applicant guidebook and launch timeline?

I would also have few pre-set questions/topics for discussion or maybe ask 
audience questions after each slide... 


Thanks,

Karla Valente

I like this plan; it echoes Tijani's suggestion.

I would much rather spend our time hearing from the audience and discussing 
future work than have a panel of WG members reiterate what is  already widely 
publicized.

Some of you may recall PDT's "talk show" format for a session in LA several 
years ago. It worked and was an interesting way to engage the audience.

Best Regards,

Elaine
