Hello everyone!<div><br></div><div>Thank you Ana for the introduction, as she well said I will be assisting her in order to get the most of this. Therefore, I took the liberty to start looking for organizations who will or would like to participate. I focused on those especifically located in Latin America, since I believe that it's a key region in which this should be spread. </div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward to start to work!</div><div><br></div><div>Regards, </div><div><br></div><div>Adela .<br><br>On Thursday, May 21, 2015, Analia Aspis <<a href="javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','analia.aspis@gmail.com');" target="_blank">analia.aspis@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Dear Bill,<br><br></div>Thank you very much for your mail.

We have already a draft agenda?<br></div>2. We do have day and time and place?<br></div>3. May I contact all the regional contact that may be interested? I can very well contact them in Spanish, based on an English prior draft if necessary.<br><br></div>4.

The event is just one month away now, so I think we need to get going. ICANN staff presumably will soon post the meeting schedule, and we will need to supply a text describing the session. Which means we should settle on the substantive agenda. And more importantly, we need to start moving on assembling the list of invitees, and to keep track of who’s inviting them and what the status is etc. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Re: Agenda, </b></div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On May 6, 2015, at 9:16 AM, William Drake <<a>william.drake@uzh.ch</a>> wrote:</div><br><div><span style="float:none;display:inline!important">for reference, here is what we did in DC, which worked very well, but of course we could spin differently here if we want:</span><br><br><span style="float:none;display:inline!important">1.
