Advance Notice: Board Committee Public Session
Discussion
of public participation and document publication operational policy 18
September 2009 The ICANN Board Public
Participation Committee (PPC) will be holding a special public session on
Monday 5 October at 15:00 UTC to discuss the Committee's work, focusing in
particular on the Document Publication Operational Policy currently out for
public comment. The public session will be
held entirely online using the conferencing software that ICANN has been
testing over the course of 2009 for its remote participation abilities. Any and all community members
are invited to join the session, which will be accessible through the address: http://icann.na3.acrobat.com/ppc/. The meeting will be split
into two parts:
The operational policy covers
the provision of documents and meeting agendas a set time ahead of an ICANN
international public meeting, and also includes sections on the provision of
executive summaries, plain language, use of jargon and acronyms, translation
and so on. It was put out for public comment on 8 September and comments on it
will be accepted for three days following the PPC public session. The date of the PPC public
session â Monday 5 October â is particularly relevant as it is also the
deadline date for the Seoul meeting (15 working days ahead of the opening day
on 26 October). In particular, the Committee is
interested in hearing the community's perspectives on the potential impact of
the operational policy and what may be done to alleviate any issues. Find out what time the
meeting is taking place where you are by
