    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Bill, <br>
      I would be happy to attend and need no travel funds (since I live
      in DC). I think these meetings can be very strategic, and if
      organized well, very useful. I think it would be a good idea to
      mix our marvelous new participants with those of us who have lived
      in the trenches over many years. <br>
      Best,<br>
      Kathy (Kleiman):<br>

        <div class="">I have mentioned several times at our Constituency
          Day meetings and on the list that there is a intersessional
          meeting of the NonContracted Parties House (NCPH) scheduled
          for Washington DC Monday-Tuesday January 12-13. If resources
          can be found, there could also be a sort of outreach session
          in the morning of the 14th geared toward DC civil society
          groups, think tanks, etc.  The latter is very much TBD.

            to be active in GNSO-related work can get one, just shoot a
            note to one of the relevant staffers, e.g. <a

          <div class="">Anyway, the purpose of this meeting will be to
            take stock of common concerns among members of the

          <div class="">The trilateral negotiation between commercial,
            noncommercial, and staff can be a bit thick at times, but
            the basic idea is that this is an occasion to do things like
            a) try to improve dialogue and collaboration between the SGs
            on procedural responsibilities we share, like selecting a
            board member, a Vice Chair for the GNSO council, etc (these
            have been very painful in the past); b) provide an
            opportunity for brainstorming among the new representatives
            of the stakeholder groups and constituencies; and c) a
            chance to intensively interact with Fadi and staff on
            matters of common concern.</div>
          <div class=""><br class="">
          </div>
          <div class="">ICANN provides us with travel support as
            follows:</div>
          <div class=""><br class="">
          </div>
          <div class="">21 travel slots split between NCSG, NCUC and
            NPOC:<br class="">
            - NCSG 9  (normally, the 6 Councilors + the chair and two
            people from the NCSG EC, or perhaps the PC)<br class="">
            - NCUC 6  (normally, the chair and the five regional reps on
            the Exec. Committee)<br class="">
            - NPOC 6  (normally, the chair and whomever from their EC
            they select, I don’t know how it works)</div>
          <div class=""><br class="">
          </div>
          <div class="">Rafik has written to the NCSG PC to see who will
            be available to attend.  Now I am writing to NCUC, and not
            just the EC, since we don’t know for sure who will be on the
            2015 EC until the election process is further along.  Plus
            we may wish to modify things, below.</div>
          <div class=""><br class="">
          </div>
          <div class="">For NCUC, it is a bit difficult to say now who
            we would be sending because the election process is just
            getting underway and further nominations are (hopefully!)
            pending.  So far we have one nomination for 5 of the 6 slots
            (still nobody from LAC, and just until Sunday to get one,
            plus any competitors for the other seats).  By next Monday
            17th nominations are closed and we know who the candidates
            are.  Those who do not face any competition for the
            respective seat can be assumed to be on the 2015 EC unless a
            majority of members abstain, which would be odd.  </div>
          <div class=""><br class="">
          </div>
          <div class="">In which case I’d be able to forward their names
            to Constituency Travel, which is very desperate for us to
            submit names so they can start working on travel
            arraignments, especially since unlike the business groups a
            number of our people will be from countries that may require
            visas.</div>
          <div class=""><br class="">
          </div>
          <div class="">What I need to know ASAP (Please reply off list)
            is:</div>
          <div class=""><br class="">
          </div>
          <div class="">1) Whether each of the candidates for the new EC
            would be interested in attending if elected.  Travel would
            be arrival in DC on Sunday 11 January with departure either
            13 Tuesday or 14 Wednesday, depending on whether we do an
            outreach thing Wednesday and there is funding, possible,
            flight itineraries, etc., all TBD</div>
          <div class=""><br class="">
          </div>
          <div class="">2)  Whether there are other member would be
            interested in attending if a slot opens up (i.e. an EC
            member is unable to attend).  Probably it would be
            preferable if a replacement person were from the same region
            as the non-participating EC member, but this is not
            mandatory.</div>
          <div class=""><br class="">

          <div class="">To get a sense of whether this meeting might be
            of interest and and something to which you can contribute,
