As I have previously mentioned on NCUC-Discuss list I do not find Los<br>
Angeles a visa or border friendly location.<br>
LAC is the best alternative nearby.<br>
Mexico is 3h away<br>
Uruguay Montevideo is an ICANN office 12h plane away<br>

><br>
><br>
><br>
> The purpose of this email is to initiate discussions regarding the NCPH<br>
> Intersessional meeting and to see whether you would find it useful to have<br>
> another NCPH Intersessional Meeting in FY18. Please let us know what your<br>

> case.<br>
><br>
><br>
><br>
> If you are to go ahead with a meeting, please note that we will need to<br>
> submit a meeting request a minimum of 5-months prior to the event, meaning<br>
> that if the meeting will be maintained in the January/February timeframe we<br>
> will need to submit details by the end of August 2017.<br>
><br>
><br>
><br>
> This includes:<br>
><br>
> Names of travelers;<br>
> Location (office location strongly encouraged for budget, planning and<br>
> organizational purposes)<br>
> Date;<br>
> Requirements on site.<br>
><br>
><br>
><br>
> Staff is aware that elections will be taking place, so the key will be to<br>
> submit the bulk of traveler details as early as possible, limiting late<br>
> submissions only to those pending election results.<br>
><br>
><br>
><br>
> Please also note that the GNSO Council has requested a Strategic Planning<br>
> Session via the Additional Budget Request Process for FY18 (see:<br>
> <a href="https://community.icann.org/x/ydbRAw" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/x/<wbr>ydbRAw</a> request number FY18-23) which will<br>
> most likely take place in the January timeframe in 2018, so something to<br>
> consider is whether the NCPH Intersessional and GNSO Council Strategic<br>
> Planning Session can be held in the same timeframe or not. Please note that<br>
> the GNSO Council Strategic Session will be held over the course of 3 days.<br>
> Alternatively, you might need to consider holding the NCPH Intersessional<br>
> meeting later in 2018 for timing purposes to avoid overlaps with the GNSO<br>
> Council Meeting.<br>
