Hello

The schedule for ICANN 53 in Buenos Aires 18-25 June 2015 has been posted http://buenosaires53.icann.org/en/schedule-full <http://buenosaires53.icann.org/en/schedule-full>

I have just uploaded the agenda for our Constituency Day Meeting https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/NCUC+Buenos+Aires+Meeting+2015-06-23 <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/NCUC+Buenos+Aires+Meeting+2015-06-23> 
Any agenda tweaks will be indicated there.  In the meanwhile, I reproduce the current agenda below.  Please note that we have two rather meaty discussions in the afternoon on the GNSO Review (and the treatment of NCUC therein) and the .sucks brouhaha for which some background reading is advisable to get fully clued into the conversations.  On the latter, I’m not sure whether we’ve ever had visitors from the Business Constituency and the Intellectual Property Constituency before, so this should be fun.  I’m please they were willing to enter the lion’s den.  I assured them that while we may be disagreeable we won’t bite :-) 

Best

Bill
