You may also recall that the first WG selected for this pilot project was the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues (PPSAI) WG at the Los Angeles meeting. Feedback from this WG indicates that the participants overwhelmingly thought that a full-day, facilitated face-to-face session was extremely helpful to them in making progress on their work, especially for the more difficult issues.<u></u><u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt"> </span></div><div style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt">For the upcoming ICANN52 meeting in Singapore in February 2015, the GNSO Council has selected the IGO-INGO Curative Rights Protections Working Group to participate in a similar session.

As with the LA meeting, funding is available only for one hotel room night per participant (if an SG selects a full slate of 6) or two room nights per participant (if an SG selects fewer than 6 participants). Airfare, additional hotel nights and other expenses will not be covered – although of course an SG is, as always, free to allocate part of its other travel funding to one or more of its selected participants if it wishes to do so.<u></u><u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt"> </span></div><div style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt">In order for us to plan for the likely number of attendees with the ICANN Meetings Team, we will be grateful if you could provide us with the names of your selected SG participants by<span> </span><b>Friday 28 November</b>.
