Public Forum tomorrow, IRT 8-9am

[Konstantinos Komaitis]

Unfortunatelly, I will not be able to join it. I am currently at a public computer at an airport. Congratulations and many thanks to all those who spoke up and supported our arguments before the Board. From what I have read you have done a great job - wish I was there to add my voice to all these, but I reserve to do so through my book and other venues. Once again great job everybody.

Best

Konstantinos

Good showing by those who spoke at the mic, and the delivery of the joint statement with ALAC had impact.

Just reminding everyone also that there'll be a meeting today (Thursday) with members of the IRT at 2.15 p.m., in Room 2 on Level 2 of the Hilton. At least 4 members of the IRT, not counting me, (perhaps more) are planning to attend, so it'll be a good opportunity to engage directly with them.

Konstantinos, are you planning to call in?

Cheers
Mary

Yes, I want to endorse what Kathy has said below and encourage all concerned NCUC members to please speak up.  The ICANN Board has made it very clear that the GNSO community must speak out against this proposal or they will have difficulty not accepting the proposal.  Just 30 seconds at the mic this AM is all we need.

Thank you.

Robin

To All,
ICANN's Public Forum takes place tomorrow, and the section on the IRT starts the entire process.
For those who don't know, this is where individuals have an opportunity to directly address the Board
on issues of import. One of our key issues at this meeting is the IRT Report.

For those here in Sydney, our time is bright and early - 8-9am. (Why they want to start off with the most explosive
issues, I surely don't know).  Please be there with bells on -- we need everyone at the microphones!

For those not at the ICANN meeting, we need you too. If you are following, if you have concerns about the IRT report, there are ways to participate (and your participation is probably more heavily noticed by staff than ours).  According to the ICANN.org webpage, http://syd.icann.org/node/3785, "You will be able to view the public forum live from 8am Sydney time on Thursday 25 June. Just register<http://icann.na3.acrobat.com/e25733704/event/registration.html> for remote participation and then follow this link<http://icann.na3.acrobat.com/e25733704/event/login.html> to go to full window conferencing."  So come along too!

Best,
Kathy
