Dear All: All NCSG members are welcome and encouraged to participate in tomorrow's NCSG Open Membership Policy Meeting. This meeting is typically held 2-days before each GNSO Counsel Meeting so NCSG's GNSO Counselors can discuss the counsel's agenda with the NCSG membership and receive input from the membership to contribute to Thursday's GNSO Counsel Meeting. We also review our inputs and policy contributions into ICANN working groups, task forces, and open comment periods. Below is the draft discussion agenda and remote participate details so you may each join in tomorrow's call and contribute to the discussion. Thank you, Robin NCSG Open Membership Policy Meeting 29 October 2013 - Tuesday 16:00 -18:00 UTC Remote Participation Details: Telephone: http://ipjustice.org/ICANN/NCSG/NCSG_Passcodes.htm Adobe Connect: https://icann.adobeconnect.com/_a819976787/ncsg/ Other Time Zones: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=NCSG+Open+Membership+Policy+Meeting&iso=20131029T16&ah=2 DRAFT DISCUSSION AGENDA I.
