Hi

I apologize if I am not aware of other calendaring for NCSG but is it possible to point me to a calendar that sets out the schedule of calls for the next Q at least.  This is very short notice and I will be in transit so not available.

Thanks.

Hello Everyone,

Please book in your calendar  at  Friday 9th January 2015 at 15:00 UTC for the NCSG conference call (Please click the link to see meeting time in your time zone: http://bit.ly/1xWyYME )

we are holding the call exceptionally in Friday because of non-contracted party meetings next week. I am really sorry for the short notice. this call may be shorter than usual. 

Everybody is encouraged to attend. We usually cover:

- the GNSO council call agenda  and discussing its items . Councillors and NCSG members involved in related working group will give more insight about the motions

- Updates about ongoing policies: updates from working groups, statements , open public comments and discussing how NCSG should act.

- Any other relevant item 

Why it is important to attend?

it is good opportunity, happening monthly, to catch-up with the ongoing policies and finding opportunities to volunteer for some tasks. For newcomers to get snapshot of activities within NCSG , GNSO and ICANN, and  also interacting with GNSO councillors .

We have this initial draft agenda below, please send me any other suggestion for item you would like to add e.g. AOB . I will send a reminder again 24 hours prior to the call.
