Hi Joao
Sorry but I’m not sure I understand what you are asking/suggesting. This is a communication among people who are BA Fellows? And you want to do a similar one pager? You could just share our brochure…?

>>> Hello Fellows, good friday in preparation for a great weekend:
>>>
>>> As indicated in my previous email to all of you, I have been attending the Governmental Advisory Committe (GAC) main discussions since ICANN 50 (London), unfortunately not to all the meetings in person, but also virtually. In these sense, please keep the following information as an introduction to the GAC, and get ready to ask question to me or to the really GAC expert during the Morning sessions that Janice has planned to all of us.
>>>
>>>
>>> WHAT IS THE GAC?
>>> The GAC is an advisory committee to ICANN, created under the ICANN ByLaws. The GAC provides advice to ICANN on public policy aspects of ICANN’s responsibilities regarding the Internet Domain Name System (DNS). A very important issue: the GAC is not a decision-making body. It advises ICANN on issues that are within ICANN’s scope.
>>>
>>> The advices of the GAC must be taken into account by the ICANN Board, and where the Board proposes actions inconsistent with GAC advice it must give reasons for doing so and attempt to reach a mutually acceptable solution.
>>>
>>> Please friends, take a look at the attached file that shows the ICANN Multistakeholder Model, you will see the BOARD in the middle and all the Supporting Organizations (SOs), Advisory Committees (ACs) and other parties. Spanish version is also attached.
>>>
>>>
>>> GAC MEMBERS
>>> The Governmental Advisory Committee is comprised of appointed representatives of national governments, multi-national governmental organizations and treaty organizations, and distinct economies.
>>>
>>> It was in June 2014 when my Administration sent an official letter to the GAC chairman, expressing Venezuela’s interest in joining the GAC as a Member. After that, we received response from the GAC chair, giving us welcome, in my case as the Appointed representative and my colleague Mr. Jhonder Depablos as the Alternate representative for Venezuela to the Committee.
>>>
>>> There are currently 151 Members States. Please take a look to this link, you will see the List of GAC Representatives and the Contact Information (Listed Alphabetical by Country) and feel free to check the representative of your country. (If Member)

>>>
>>> GAC AUTHORITIES
>>>
>>> The previous GAC Chair and Vice Chairs formally completed their terms of office at the end of the Marrakech meeting (ICANN52). All they served two consecutive terms and so none were eligible for re-election in their role.
>>>
>>> The GAC elects a Chair and Vice Chairs from its membership. The present authorities were elected at ICANN 51, Los Angeles, and their information is as follows:
>>>
>>> CHAIR:
>>>
>>> Mr. Thomas Schneider - Switzerland
>>>
>>> VICE CHAIRS
>>>
>>> Ms. Olga Cavalli - Argentina
>>>
>>> Ms. Gema Campillos - Spain
>>>
>>> Mr. Henri Kassen - Namibia
>>>
>>> Mr. Wanawit Ahkuputra - Thailand
>>>
>>> Mr. Ihsan Durdu - Turkey
>>>
>>>
>>> GAC's Key ROLE
>>>
>>> The GAC’s key role is to provide advice to ICANN on issues of public policy, especially where there may be an interaction between ICANN’s activities or policies and national laws or international agreements.ICANN duly takes into account the GAC’s advice on public policy matters, both in the formulation and adoption of policies. The GAC works on the basis of seeking consensus among its membership.

>>>
>>> P.S: I am also attaching a Glossary/Acronym List with a lot of Terms that the "ICANN people" use everyday and when they start talking to you, without considering you as a newcomer, maybe you will get lost at the first couple of minutes, ;)
>>>
>>>
>>> That is all for the time being Fellows!. Next week I will send you more information, since it is not easy to digest all the information you and we are receiving from everywhere. But, Again enjoy, receive, organize yourself, I wish you all get the Visa and Get ready to meet each other in Buenos Aires. ICANN 53 and the red Wine will be waiting for us!
