The 2013 Intersessional Meeting of the GNSO's Non Contracted community will be the first time that representatives from ALL the non-contracted communities of the Generic Names Supporting Organization have gathered as a group with ICANN Staff outside of a typical ICANN Public Meeting setting. In addition to the in-person attendees in Los Angeles, there will be quite a few others community members participating remotely by telephone and Adobe Connect.
One of the purposes of this "pilot" Intersessional meeting of the GNSO Non Contract Party community is to create the opportunity, outside of the pressures and schedule strains of an ICANN Public Meeting to discuss longer-range substantial community issues and to collaborate with Senior ICANN Staff on strategic and operational issues that impact the community. The non-contract community leaders in attendance will be a healthy mix of ICANN veterans and several new participants who will be experiencing their first ICANN community meeting.
Meeting planners from the community agreed to gather in Los Angeles so that they could be close to ICANN Staff and engage in a substantive dialogue about ICANN issues among themselves and with senior execs. There will be a variety of informational, collaboration and discussion sessions with senior members of the ICANN executive team and several other staff. There is even a special session with Board members being arranged for late Wednesday afternoon.
Whether you are attending the meeting in person or by remote means, within the pages of this wiki space, you will find general information about the venue, agenda, and related topics. If you find that something important is missing, please alert one of our GNSO Staff personnel and we will work to locate and publish the information as quickly as possible.
