Session description:

Join us in the sixth largest city in Japan — Kobe — to enjoy a morning and lunch of ICANN policy- making discussions. Building on the success of the joint NCUC-At Large sessions at previous ICANN meetings, this session represents a joint event of the Non-Commercial Users Constituency (http://ncuc.org)  and At-Large (https://atlarge.icann.org ) for local Academia, Civil Society, and Individual Users.

We are building the agenda around policy issues and specific topics presented in an evolving Town Hall interactive format. This exciting session aims to help attendees - both newcomers and seasoned community members who want to know more about policy - to get acquiainted with the ICANN policy processes and to give them real first-hand information on the issues NCUC and At-Large are working on and on the differences and similarities in NCUC/At-Large positions.
