Hi, There is a webinar that will take place on Monday, December 16th, which I believe will be very interesting for people who are interested in volunteering to join GNSO working groups. It’s a pilot program at this point meant to make it easier for first-time working group participants. You’ll find a brief below as well as the call information. I hope some of you will participate in this webinar, and hopefully join some working groups as well. If you would like to participate on Monday, please send an email to the GNSO Secretariat ([log in to unmask]), and let them know. If there is no dial-in information available for the country you reside in, you can let the Secretariat know, and they’ll offer you a dial-out. Thanks.

The objective of this meeting is to allow for new GNSO WG participants to come together and ask any questions you 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 would like to offer this opportunity to come together, talk and answer any questions you may have. If you are interested to join, please let the GNSO Secretariat know ([log in to unmask]) and they will send you the call details. If there are any specific questions you already have, or any overviews or introductions you think would be helpful (e.g. GNSO Policy Development Process or GNSO Working Group guidelines), please let us know in advance and we will prepare materials accordingly. As this is a pilot, we are interested to hear your feedback about the usefulness of such a meeting and/or whether other mechanisms should be explored to induct new participants to GNSO efforts. Feel free to share this invitation with others that you think may be interested. >> >> We look forward to welcoming you on 16 December! >> >> Mikey O'Connor, GNSO Council member & GNSO Policy Staff >> >> >> Glen de Saint Géry >> GNSO Secretariat >> [log in to unmask] >> http://gnso.icann.org >> >> > Begin forwarded message: > From: Glen de Saint Géry <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Invitation to informal new participant orientation session > Date: December 12, 2013 at 5:59:57 PM GMT+1 > To: "Amr Elsadr ([log in to unmask])" <[log in to unmask]> > Cc: "[log in to unmask]" <[log in to unmask]> > > Dear Amr, > > Here we go!
