<div>Given the Durban thing, have heard from Nick at ICANN about future conferences that could have official blessings and space. He's looking into BA//London options and will revert. I take Brenden's point that trying to do big things at the annuals gets
heavy with IGF being the next month, plus thats NCUC election season, etc. So is BA too much?</div>

<div>We should establish a regular cycle. Any thoughts on the relative merits of shooting for either the Spring (Singapore 23-27 March) or Summer (London 22-26 June) meetings? </div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div>
<div><br></div><div>I agree a regular cycle is a good thing and can be used strategically. E.g., an annual NCUC Policy Conference held in advance of or concurrently with the ICANN spring meeting can be used as an agenda setting exercise for the year. I.e., what transpires there could inform the submittal of NCUC proposals for that year's IGF, with IGF becoming the gateway to getting new folks involved in helping us at ICANN. </div>
