At present we received RSVPs from 23 NCUC members (individual or organizational) and 14 non-ICANN CS people, which more hopefully to come; it should be a good meeting. We are in the process of getting the remote participation organized; when staff have it ready, the details will be on the conference site, <a href="http://london50.icann.org/en/schedule/fri-civil-society">http://london50.icann.org/en/schedule/fri-civil-society</a>. The Agenda is there now.</div><div><br></div><div>In addition, with staff we have set up an outreach webinar, similar to the one staff are doing for business. This will be a brief introductory overview of plans and expectations from the standpoint of the different bits of the noncommercial world, with a bit of staff info added in. It should serve as a good appetizer for the Friday meeting, and for London more generally. Would be great to have NCUC folks there. I guess they want people to register in advance, see below. <a href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-06-10-en">https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-06-10-en</a></div><div><br></div><div>I expect both the F2F outreach meeting and the webinar outreach event could become standard activities for us before each meeting.</div><div><br></div><div>Bill<br><div><br></div></div><div><br><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><br></div><div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p><br></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><img apple-inline="yes" id="B1A2F3A1-5B98-4AD1-BD28-258ADF0AA3DE" height="135" width="169" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:E4339B71-807F-43B8-A2F4-ADA6C0DD119D@home"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Please Join us for a Pre-ICANN 50 Webinar<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></b></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Cambria; text-align: center;"><b><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 24px;">Civil Society at ICANN: Everything you Need to Know about the ICANN Meeting in London</span><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></font></b></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></b></div><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Cambria; text-align: center;"></p><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;">Tuesday, June 17, 2014</span></b></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;">15:00 – 16:00 UTC</span></b></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;"><br></span></b></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px;"><a href="http://goo.gl/vnRGqK" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">REGISTER HERE!</a></b></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Cambria; text-align: center;"><i style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><font size="3"><br></font></i></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Cambria; text-align: center;"><font face="Calibri,sans-serif" size="3"><i>Speakers</i></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><i><br></i></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><b>William J.
