The 2018 Intersessional Meeting of the GNSO's Non Contracted community will be the fifth time that representatives from ALL the non-contracted communities of the Generic Names Supporting Organization have gathered as a group with ICANN Staff outside of a typical ICANN Public Meeting setting. In addition to the in-person attendees in Los Angeles, USA on Feb. 01 - 02, 2018, there will be a few others community members participating remotely by telephone and Adobe Connect. One of the purposes of this Intersessional meeting of the GNSO Non Contract Party community is to create the opportunity, outside of the pressures and schedule strains of an ICANN Public Meeting to discuss longer-range substantial community issues and to collaborate with Senior ICANN Staff on strategic and operational issues that impact the community. The non-contract community leaders in attendance will be a healthy mix of ICANN veterans and several new participants who will be experiencing their first ICANN community meeting. For this year, community leader meeting planners agreed to hold the meeting in Los Angeles, so that they could engage in a substantive dialogue about ICANN issues among themselves and with senior executives. Whether you are attending the meeting in person or by remote means, within the pages of this Wiki space, you will find general information about the venue, agenda, and related topics. If you find that something important is missing, please alert one of our GNSO Staff personnel and we will work to locate and publish the information as quickly as possible.
