    We are gathering
12:31:18 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    Welcome Naela and Giose
12:31:33 From Naela Sarras - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    Thanks Silvia
12:33:00 From Michelle DeSmyter - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    Welcome Judith, we just started
12:33:13 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
    Sorry to be late, but had trouble finding the passcode
12:37:14 From Siranush Vardanyan - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    A headcount for lunch - no fellows from NA at ICANN77, count only 9 NextGenners
12:38:01 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
    Remember to add me to the lunch
12:38:24 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
    Will not be at the roundtable because of my noncom duties
12:38:36 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    Gisella logistics updates are
12:38:47 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    My udpates:
     
    We do urgently need to know whether we need to invite any Board Members and/or ICANN Org Execs to the Round Table and the Town Hall Meeting.
    I have Leon down for the Town Hall meeting
    Monday’s sessions:
    10:45-12:15 = Round table
    12:15-13:45 = Networking lunch
    13:45 – 15:00 = NA Space
    Note we will be back to back so we will hopefully find a lunch venue very close by to able to come back for 13:45 to the NA Space *or* the At-Large policy session on An end user perspective: The next gTLD application window
    Networking Lunch:
    I do not yet have an update.
    For now, looking into venues but also need a final on *invitation list* (NARALO RALO Leaders, ALAC Members, NomCom, GSE Staff, Board Members (names TBA), Org (?)).
12:38:53 From Eduardo Díaz to Everyone:
    At what is this lunch being scheduled?
12:39:10 From Eduardo Díaz to Everyone:
    Oh! I got it.
12:39:44 From Eduardo Díaz to Everyone:
    They need to register before ICANN 77 starts
12:39:46 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    Once they are confirmed and identified
12:39:55 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    They will receive a calendar invite
12:40:03 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    And we will ask them to register online
12:42:10 From Gisella Gruber’s iPhone (2) to Everyone:
    Correct - they are back to back
12:45:50 From Naela Sarras - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    It’s ok Marita. All I wanted to say is that the NA Space time is a requested time. The meetings team is currently building the schedule, and our requested time might change, we don’t know for sure until the schedule is built
12:46:56 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    Topic 1: Government activity to expand Broadband (both US and Canada)
12:47:02 From Eduardo Díaz to Everyone:
    The network launch will be more than just a simple networking lunch; it will be a rushed lunch. Would it be possible to schedule the launch during a time when attendees will not have to rush from one place to another? Additionally, at the current scheduled time, attendees may run into people on their way to lunch and stop to say hello, causing further delays. Therefore, it would be best to schedule the launch during a time that allows attendees to fully participate without feeling rushed or missing out on valuable networking opportunities.
12:49:41 From Eduardo Díaz to Everyone:
    The audience in the NARALO round tables is different from the audience in NASIG.
12:50:00 From Siranush Vardanyan - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    A gentle reminder to sign up for ICANN Engagement booth, if NARALO wants to keep additional slots, just sign up. All other slots will be taken by ICANN Fellowship Alums - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19YZZ3PikMmx1mVHPl-B3wz4loQG-pcs1FfvoxzdzvKw/edit#gid=0
12:52:22 From Naela Sarras - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    @Marita CIRA might be a good resource for speakers
12:52:24 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    AI; Marita and Glenn to work on the Canadian side of speakers for Topic 1
12:52:39 From Naela Sarras - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    And from ISOC as well
12:52:46 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    @Greg, there were comments re topic 2 what's wrong with internet
12:53:48 From Eduardo Díaz to Everyone:
    I suggest titles such as "Challenges and Opportunities for the Internet," "Navigating the Complexities of the Internet," "Shaping the Internet for Tomorrow: Building a Better Web for All,"
12:53:49 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    All:
    
    
    I would like to propose a change to the title of Topic 2 from "What's Wrong with the Internet?" to something more neutral and open-ended. The use of the word
     "wrong" may create a negative impression and bias the conversation towards a particular perspective. Instead, I suggest titles such as "Challenges and Opportunities for the Internet," "Navigating the Complexities of the Internet," "Shaping the Internet for
     Tomorrow: Building a Better Web for All," or something similar.
    
    
    Titles like these promote a more open and balanced discussion.
12:53:56 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    Posted email from Eduardo above
12:54:29 From Denise Hochbaum to Everyone:
    I had attend conferences at Marriott Marquis and small reception happened in the room available  at the same floor that the panels. Marriott Marquis can provide the buffet
12:54:52 From Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    Gisella
12:55:02 From Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    We are looking at several out of the venue
12:55:10 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
    I suggested " Responding to current challenges on the Internet"
12:55:11 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    AI: Second topic to be defined to improve the title what's wrong with internet
12:55:45 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    Thanks Marita
12:56:26 From Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    Agree
12:56:30 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
    Yes Wednesday would be better
12:56:36 From Naela Sarras - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    Agree
12:56:44 From Naela Sarras - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    exactly
12:57:13 From Denise Hochbaum to Everyone:
    Patio Lunch will be wonderful. Zytinya is a wonderful location for lunch outside, at 3 blocks from the venue
12:57:39 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:

12:57:45 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    Lunch = Wednesday
12:57:53 From Eduardo Díaz to Everyone:
    What about the weather at that time of the day in June?
12:58:31 From Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    June should be ok. It can be rather humid, but should be ok.
12:59:03 From Naela Sarras - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    And I will make sure that we don’t move NA Space to Wednesday if it has to move
13:01:00 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    Next call will be next Wednesday at 17:00 UTC
13:01:10 From Eduardo Díaz to Everyone:
    What is the difference between an open meeting and a town hall?
13:01:12 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
    @heidi, please look for the webcam covers as we should have plenty of these
13:01:20 From Naela Sarras - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    Thanks all. Dropping off for another meeting.
13:01:21 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
    we never used those
13:01:38 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    I think Town Hall is more interactive and casual
13:01:38 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
    We also have the cord keepers
13:02:05 From Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    Will do, Judith
13:02:06 From Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org to Everyone:
    Yes like Political town halls in the US
