To do so, we have prepared a very short (6 questions) survey, where you can vote on a set of proposed policy topics as well as suggest any additional Internet Society related topic that you would like to discuss at this meeting.

Dear Colleagues,

As you know, the Internet Society (ISOC) usually organises two meetings for chapters and members alongside ICANN: the "ISOC @ ICANN Meeting" on Sunday mostly focused on policy issues and the "Chapters and Members Meeting" on Tuesday to discuss ISOC and Chapter related topics.

We have heard from many of you that two ISOC meetings at ICANN with mostly the same people attending both meetings was too much, especially considering the very full ICANN agenda.

Having said that, it is really important for ISOC to provide a platform where ISOC members can meet, exchange ideas and discuss ISOC related issues.

Therefore we have decided to organise one meeting only in Durban and to slightly rearrange the focus and the agenda.

We will thus be hosting an "ISOC members @ ICANN" meeting on Sunday evening, 14 July 2013, from 19.00 – 21.00 (local time), with partly policy content and partly ISOC related issues. We will provide more details and the full agenda in the next coming days.

Best regards,

Christine
