Dear friends and colleagues, You might have seen an earlier email below regarding our ICANN Quarterly Stakeholder Call next week. I’m writing to seek your support to attend this call, which will be happening during our usual APAC Space web conference timing. We’ve discussed on this platform and during APAC Space several times regarding the need for global calls to rotate time zones. One push back we’ve (APAC community) encountered and discussed before was that there were not enough people from the APAC region attending to justify rotating the calls. Now, we’ve pushed for this upcoming call to be in our time zone; let’s not give others a reason to say the same again. Registration details are at this link: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-09-23-en You will need to register to receive the dial-in details. Grateful for your support in this. Thank you.

The original announcement and participation details are appended below. At the APAC Hub, we have heard your feedback to bring such global calls to our time zone and to cover more local content. This Quarterly Stakeholder Call will be using a new regional focused format, and will include an APAC-focused update on top of the regular management updates. The detailed agenda will be updated in due course. Please join us in this call, not only to get updates, but also for ICANN to hear from the APAC community. In the meantime, if there are any particular topics (related to our region) you’d like us to discuss, please let us know in advance by replying to this email (apachub@icann.org) by 7 October 2016.
