      I think this is a special plenary for the GAC and not a trend.
      They have to reach "GAC Advice" on the hundreds of Early Warnings
      for New gTLDs they have issued. I don't think they are excited
      about coming early, and I don't think it is shades of things to
      come, but a necessity in the current situation (and given the
      diversity of Early Warnings).  They have much to discuss!<br>

      Hi
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Alain mentioned previously that NPOC is organizing a workshop
        session at Beijing.  I should add that NCUC is organizing a
        session as well, which will be held Wednesday 10 April
        from 13:00 - 15:00 local time.  The program team is working on
        the agenda, and we'll be back to you with details when ready.
         We'd originally hoped to be able to do a full policy conference
        like we did in Toronto and San Francisco, but we ultimately were
        unable to secure the space for that so we're settling for a two
        hour event instead.   We expect to do a full policy conference
        again in Durban in July.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Best,</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Bill<br>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>PS: One other small observation on the program—the board
          decided last year to end meetings on Thursdays rather than
          Fridays, but now the GAC is starting its' plenaries the
          previous Thursday- Friday, before most other attendees have
          arrived and are able to be in the room…
