The schedule for the upcoming meeting in Mexico City on 1-6 March is now

The schedule format has been redesigned to present a clear picture of the
overall structure of the meeting, identifying the different sessions, rooms,
and their associated time slots. Extensive use of standardized session and
break times will provide a buffer between sessions to facilitate a smooth
meeting flow and allow more time for delegate interaction.

Other parts of the schedule that we wish to draw the community's attention
to include:

Increase in time allocated to Public Forum, with buffers to allow for
unexpected overruns.

A 90-minute Q&A session dedicated to the New gTLD Applicant Guidebook on
Monday, 2 March.

A Joint Public Meeting on Monday afternoon where representatives from the
different Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees will discuss and
debate the issues of most importance to them. Everyone is invited to attend
and a feedback session at the end will allow for commentary from the floor.

An At-Large Summit will open on Saturday at the Sheraton, with a closing
report to the community just prior to Thursday's Public Forum. Additional
sessions will run in the nearby Hotel Melia on Sunday and Tuesday.

A number of introductory sessions covering new gTLDs, IDNs and ICANN itself
are designed to give first-time attendees an overview of the organization
and its work.

The community is invited to attend a public meeting of the new Public
Participation Board Committee on Wednesday to discuss ways of improving
participation within ICANN.

An e-Crime Workshop is slated for Wednesday afternoon.

Staff updates are now scheduled just before Friday's Board meeting to allow
for presentations that reflect community feedback and give more time for
public forums.

We hope the community find the new schedule format useful and look forward
to seeing you all in Mexico City.
