Going forward we are open to incorporating announcements or news that you think merits attention from the rest of the GNSO community (e.g., new officers, upcoming meetings or conference calls, special receptions, changes in charters or bylaws or even, the publication of a community comment).<o:p></o:p></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Cambria; "><o:p><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Cambria; "><font face="Calibri" size="3">Since this is another one of our “pilot” efforts, we don’t really want to limit the type, style or format of the content you share with us to post. All we ask is that you limit the copy to around 500 words so that we have room for as many submissions at a time. Rich media like pictures, PDFs, or video are encouraged which may help enhance the content being submitted. Between now and the ICANN Public Meeting in Buenos Aires we’ll experiment with format, layout and page placement and, we hope, get many helpful ideas and comments from you and your community members.<o:p></o:p></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Cambria; "><o:p><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Cambria; "><font face="Calibri" size="3">Please take this as an invitation to immediately start submitting content at any time to me and Berry Cobb at<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:webmaster@gnso.icann.org" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline; ">webmaster@gnso.icann.org</a>.
