I don't see why these need to be closed, personally.  But I take Kathy's point that they're probably not all excited to be doing it.

It has the [C] for "closed" meeting next to it, and there's no one-line placeholder in the event description page to say something like "NCUC hosts policy roundtable on GNSO issues - all are invited to attend" (or something like that.)

Thanks Mary I actually didn't notice the [C], rushing.  Will send a note.

I don't think they are excited about coming early, and I don't think it is shades of things to come, but a necessity in the current situation (and given the diversity of Early Warnings).  They have much to discuss!

>> Alain mentioned previously that NPOC is organizing a workshop session at Beijing.  I should add that NCUC is organizing a session as well, which will be held Wednesday 10 April from 13:00 - 15:00 local time.  The program team is working on the agenda, and we'll be back to you with details when ready.  We'd originally hoped to be able to do a full policy conference like we did in Toronto and San Francisco, but we ultimately were unable to secure the space for that so we're settling for a two hour event instead.   We expect to do a full policy conference again in Durban in July.
