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 class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Re: Agenda, </b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On May 6, 2015, at 9:16 AM, William Drake <<a href="mailto:william.drake@uzh.ch" class="">william.drake@uzh.ch</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><span class="" 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 class=""><br class=""><span class="" style="float: none; display: inline !important;">1.
