[council] Constituency meetings on November 12

["M. Stuart Lynn" <lynn@icann.org>]

Dear colleagues:

As you know, ICANN announced two days ago that the annual ICANN 
meeting would indeed occur on November 13-15 inclusive, and that the 
meeting would focus on security and stability of the Internet's 
naming and addressing systems.

The original meeting, of course, was scheduled to start on November 
12, not November 13. There is no reason that November 12 cannot still 
be made available to those constituencies ,SO's and other ICANN 
committees or task forces that want to hold meetings to consider 
other pressing items on their agendas. Apart from these agenda items, 
such meetings might also be useful for shaping input on any items 
that are on the Board agenda. You may recall from the announcement 
that the Board may decide to take up items where "time is of the 
essence".

Making use of November 12 for these or other purposes would help to 
ensure that we can all focus on the core security agenda the 
following three days. Once the details of this core agenda are firmed 
up, constituencies and SO's may also want to use the November 12 
opportunity for advance consideration of the "security agenda". There 
will, however, be times set aside during the three days of the 
security focus for constituency and other meetings to address 
specific security considerations.

Any constituency, SO or other ICANN committee or task force wishing 
to hold a meeting on November 12 should advise Dianne Schroeder so 
that she can work with the unit involved to schedule meeting space.

Stuart
