> Traditionally, the ALAC and Regional Leaders meet for a number of sessions
> beginning on the first day and running through out the week.
>
> That will continue with ICANN62 in Panama, but there will be a significant
> change.
>
> We will start by meeting for a short intro session at 8 am on Monday,
> which will prep for the rest of the day. This session is NOT optional.
>
> We will proceed to the formal ICANN62 Welcome and Ethos Award session with
> runs from 8:30-9:00.
>
> Following that the entire At-Large group will participate in the GNSO
> sessions that are focusing on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures. This will
> include some general introductions, and will split up into breakout
> sessions on a number of topics. You will hear more about the topics and
> overall format later, but for now I would like to explain why we are making
> this rather unusual move.
>
> As you are aware, the GNSO PDP on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures will be
> issuing its Interim Report soon after Panama. The report will include a
> summary of discussions (and conclusions were they exist) and will be asking
> for community input on a very wide range of issues. During the last round
> starting in 2012, the ALAC and At-Large had significant concerns in a
> number of area which included Internet User confusion, community TLDs, the
> lack of protection for sensitive TLDs (such as .doctor) and support of
> applications from developing econimies. If we do not contribute meaningful
> comments in response to the Interim Report, we will have no grounds to
> complain later if we do not like the decisions the PDP comes to.
>
> To be clear, new gTLDs are one of the most important issues on ICANN's
> agenda over the past six years and for years to come. ALAC and At-Large are
> here to protect the interests of Internet Users and we MUST make a
> meaningful contribution. Our credibility depends on it.
>
> The work effort to respond to the Interim Report is not something that one
> or two people can do. It must be taken on by a larger group, and the
> results must truly represent the At-Large Community's views.
>
> That leads to this schedule. All funded travellers, unless there are
> substantive commitments to be elsewhere Monday morning, will participate in
> the GNSO sessions which will include small break-out groups to discuss
> particular issues. We will expect brief reports on what has happened in
> these sessions, and you will then be involved in the work to responds to
> the Interim Report when it is issued.
>
> To be clear, these GNSO sessions are not optional suggestions. They are a
> formal part of the At-Large meeting schedule.
>
> Questions are welcome.
