All NCSG members are welcome and encouraged to participate in these calls.</div><div><br></div><div>These calls are held 2 days before the GNSO Council Meeting each month so we can discuss the particular motions and other matters on the agenda for the GNSO Council that week. And our councilors can explain issues on the GNSO Council's agenda, tell us how they plan to vote on motions, and can receive feedback from the membership on issues of concern or support. So these are important calls to the development of NCSG policy and engaging the membership in the policy development process.</div><div><br></div><div>We'll rotate the time (16:00 UTC) after these 3 meetings to better accommodate people on the other side of the world in the next 3 meetings.</div><div><br></div><div>As always, there will be remote participation via Adobe Connect:<br> <a href="https://icann.adobeconnect.com/_a819976787/ncsg/">https://icann.adobeconnect.com/_a819976787/ncsg/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Telephone bridge dial-in details and passcode:</div><div> <a href="http://ipjustice.org/ICANN/NCSG/NCSG_Passcodes.htm">http://ipjustice.org/ICANN/NCSG/NCSG_Passcodes.htm</a></div><div><br></div><div>I'll send out an agenda for the 13 November call in the next couple of days.
