> PS: We are painfully aware that the timing conflicts with the GNSO Council meeting.  Alas, no other time could be found in the schedule to do this.  So we expect we will probably not see our outgoing and incoming Councilors during the discussion part, which is a great pity.  Hopefully Council will be doing some dull procedural stuff at that time (there’s no Council schedule yet of course, so no way to know) so others will feel able to join us.  And of course, we hope the Councilors will be able to come over for the reception from 17:45-19:00.

We hope not only that members will join us (F2F or remote participation), but also that people will forward any suggestions of civil society actors in California or beyond who might be interested and able to attend (name, institution, email address).

We would like to have several members prepared to give brief descriptions of how we’ve been involved in e.g. human rights generally, privacy, freedom of expression, access to knowledge/intellectual property, development, ICANN governance, Internet governance, etc.  Rafik and I will be reaching out to solicit folks to play these roles, but if anyone would like to be in the pool we’ll draw on please send Rafik and I a note offline.

> The workshop, Civil Society in ICANN, will provide an opportunity for open and vigorous dialogue between public interest advocates who are active both within and outside the ICANN community.  From within ICANN will be members of the Noncommercial Users Constituency www.ncuc.org, which for over a decade has been the voice of civil society in ICANN’s policy processes on generic top level domain names and related matters.  From outside the ICANN community we hope to have participants from advocacy and research organizations based in the US and beyond who are involved in human rights, privacy protection, freedom of expression, access to knowledge, development, and related issues.

>  Finally, also please note that participation in the ICANN meeting itself is free of charge and open to the public, and that newcomers are heartily welcomed to attend.  The 51st meeting will be a particularly important one, especially as we will continue discussions on the transition of oversight from the US Government to the ‘global multi-stakeholder community’.  The evolving agenda and registration are available at http://meetings.icann.org/icann50.
