Hi Robin,<div><br></div><div>I think this is a good subject for the ICANN 44 Public Meeting. One subject that has puzzled me is the city TLD process. So London, UK goes for DOTlondon - makes sense to them. However, where does that leave all the other "London" cities in the world... No sure that would fit the bill for the Public Meeting, or maybe the technical response is obvious, but wanted to raise that issue just in case...</div>

<br></div><div><br></div><div>Dear SO and AC Leaders,</div><div><br></div><div>ICANN Public Participation Committee would like to ask your input on specific subjects and topics that you would like to see during ICANN 44 Public Meeting, which can be accommodated in specific sessions. This will help to organize specific but common interest sessions that are interesting to the majority of the ICANN Community, as well as combining sessions which hopefully can support efforts for better time management for everyone. The idea is for public open sessions, where these common topics of interest can be discussed with participation from the ICANN Community openly. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Receiving your input, we will see which topics can be combined in specific sessions and how they can be realized. We may need to come back to you and ask you to volunteer or nominate a Chair person for each session.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Please note there will be another, separate call for topics to take place in the agenda of Public Forum at ICANN 44. </div><div>This mail is for other sessions that you or your groups would like to see dedicated on other specific topics, not for Public Forum agenda topics. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Please provide your suggested session topics by 28 April 2012 to Filiz Yilmaz <<a href="mailto:filiz.yilmaz@icann.org" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">filiz.yilmaz@icann.org</a>>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Kind regards,</div><div>Sébastien Bachollet</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
