Just got word, below, that they are now able to seat all those who RSVPed by the deadline. So far known NCSG attendees are Avri, Rudy, and myself-anyone else? I've heard several hundred observers will be there, so the other stakeholder groups will presumably be far better represented. Need to finalize and plan dissemination of the NC input docs© Bill Begin forwarded message: From: "Bruce Tonkin" <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Date: February 16, 2011 4:04:59 AM GMT+01:00 To: <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Subject: [council] Regarding space for observers at the GAC-Board Consultation From: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-21jan11-en.htm GAC-Board Consultation - Announcement Update Arrangements are being finalized for the GAC-Board consultation to be held in Brussels on 28 February and 1 March 2011. As previously advised, the venue for this consultation will be at The Square Brussels Meeting Centre in Room 400. This room will provide classroom style seating for the GAC and Board members, and there will be theatre style seating provided for those people who responded to the RSVP posted on 2 February 2011. Individual emails will be sent to all those who responded to the RSVP to confirm attendance. As the current combined attendance numbers are close to capacity for the seating allocated we are unable to extend an invitation for additional attendance from interested community members. The agenda and format for proceedings is still being finalized. It is the intention to publish the agenda before the meeting, along with briefing papers on the agreed topics for discussion. This will be done as a separate announcement. Remote participation will be available through adobe connect and the link and other relevant details will be provided closer to the consultation. --
