RSVP to Attend ICANN Board-GAC Meeting in Brussels

A message to those who wish to attend the ICANN Board-GAC Meeting in
Brussels on 28 Feb-1 Mar.

If you wish to attend as an observer the upcoming meeting of the ICANN's
Board and the GAC to discuss new gTLDs [see below], please RSVP by sending
an email to GAC-BoardRSVP@xxxxxxxxx no later than 8 February 2011. Space in
the room is limited and we don't wish to have people traveling and find
there is no space for them to attend. Therefore it was necessary to come up
with a limited procedure for seat allocation. If the number of RSVPs exceeds
the amount of available seating, ICANN staff will allocate the seating in an
equitable manner. To ensure maximum attendance, those whose RSVPs are
confirmed will need to submit a copy of an airline ticket, hotel reservation
or other indication of their intent to attend in person.

As previously announced, the meeting will be open, scribed and streamed live
over the Internet. Only GAC members, ICANN Board members, select ICANN staff
members and subject matter experts will participate in the meeting. Please
note that in addition to the open plenary sessions, smaller meetings focused
on specific issues may also take place and may be closed to
non-participants. If they occur, those in these smaller meetings will report
on their work during the open plenary sessions.
