Reminder: Monthly GNSO WG Newcomer Open House Session

These ongoing monthly sessions are for new GNSO WG participants to come
together and discuss any questions they may have about GNSO Working Groups,
procedures and/or processes. We know there is a lot of information to
digest when you join a GNSO Working Group and these monthly meetings are an
opportunity for newcomers and more experienced participants to meet in an
informal setting without the pressure of “real work” that needs be done.

The agenda is flexible.  Mikey O’Connor will be ready with a standard set
of materials if people would like to discuss them — you can download those
materials here<http://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/presentation-newcomer-27feb14-en.pdf>if
you would like to review them in advance of the meeting [insert a link
to the slide deck].  But do not feel constrained to that agenda.  Feel free
to submit questions, either in advance or at the beginning of the meeting,
if there is a topic that you would like to explore in more depth .
 Providing useful answers to a wide range of questions is part of the
reason why these meetings are
