Maybe one substantive bit to put in, in the Subject Matter Expert Support box, would be that our desire is to have a highly interactive dialogue among House members on matters of common concern re: ICANN/GNSO internal procedures and policies as well as ICANN in the wider IG ecosystem, and accordingly we would not need much from staff experts.  Of course, if we say we don’t want any then that might be misconstrued, so maybe it can be simply limited, e.g. like an overview/update on the former from Mary or Marika and on the latter from Theresa or Tarek….?

I copy in the CSG executive committee, FYI, and also the point people from IPC (Michael Adams) and ISPC (Wolf-Ulrich Knoben) on preparing budget requests (will add the BC point person once that is confirmed).  Please let Michael and Wolf know with whom at NCSG they should coordinate on this.

>  
> As you know, there was an intersessional in January 2013 at the ICANN office in LA.  Many of us in NCSG thought it was a useful initiative, and IPC, at least, asked in its FY 2014 budget request for ICANN to support an intersessional this year.  That request was denied.  I also recall some e-mail traffic a few months ago in which some participants both from CSG and NCSG revived the idea of having an intersessional meeting, but we were told that ICANN would not provide support for one this fiscal year.
>  
> If we do wish to see ICANN support an intersessional meeting for our house in FY 2015, the budget request process would be one logical vehicle for doing so.  Hence this message.  If there is interest within NCSG in preparing a joint budget submission on this point, or even in coordinating separate budget submissions, now would be the time to do so, since the submission deadline is a month away (March 7).   If this is not something NCSG would like to pursue this year, then it would also be timely to know that.
>  
> I’ll also note that if we ask for another intersessional, it does not necessarily need to be structured and organized the same way as the LA intersessional last  year (nor does it necessarily have to happen in January again).  We are certainly open to suggestions for improving it.  But we need to decide soon whether we will ask for one in the regular budget cycle this year.
