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>PS: One other small observation on the programthe 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
