Heidi Ullrich:As Hong mentioned, we also need to confirm if interpretation is needed.
Heidi Ullrich:that will impact the logistics.
Heidi Ullrich:Cheryl, I am asking if there will be music/dancing. Also, we need to confirm if interpretion is needed.
Maureen Hilyard:Music/dancing.. we'll check with the ALSes..
Heidi Ullrich:Thanks, Maureen.
Heidi Ullrich:If Fadi and Fadi, etc will be speaking, we will need interpretation.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Yup that settles it I'd say
Hong Xue:Agree on Monday. Tuesday night is not a good time to attract participants.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Don't hold your breath for the current Regional VP Rinalia I agree
Gisella Gruber-White:General Assembly scheduled on Tuesday evening
Rinalia Abdul Rahim 2:Policy Roundtable: The criteria for the topics are as follows: (1) highly relevant and important to the region and ICANN; (2) require multistakeholder engagement to address. For each topic proposed, recommendations will be solicited on relevant discussion leaders. These discussion leaders should be knowledgeable about the topic/s and respected regionally or globally. We should ideally get discussion leaders from a broad range of stakeholder groups (i.e., government and inter-governmental, business, non-profit/NGO, and end user).
Heidi Ullrich:The GA could also take place Wednesday evening.
Heidi Ullrich:Hong, Dev has agreed to hold such a meeting re wiki training
