Hi Renata,

that is about the working groups session in Hyderabad meeting.
the mention of observers there is about the participation in the working groups. Observers can be subscribed to the working groups mailing lists but not able to post there nor attending the confcalls. Working group members can of course post in the mailing list and attend the confcalls . the working groups sessions in Hyderabad meeting are opened to everyone. people can switch between observer and member just by informing the GNSO secretariat

you can find the note in policy brief:
"HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED? The WG is open to all, who may join as either a Member (with full posting rights to the mailing list and the ability to participate in all WG meetings) or as an Observer (with read-only status for the mailing list). Please email the GNSO Secretariat at [log in to unmask] if you wish to join the group. You can also attend the WG’s open meeting on Monday 7 November."

Best,

Rafik

Hi

I am following the list but I am more confused now that I read the
GNSO Policy Briefing

Is it possible to confirm please if all these * really mean close sessions

https://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/background-briefing-27oct16-en.pdf

I'd also kindly ask if fellows/newcomers can be exceptionally let in
as observers on them or at least some of them?
If they have to go through a procedure for the permission (i.e.
emailing chair directly) pls. enlighten

Thank you
