Dear friends and colleagues, Happy New Year! It is time to schedule our APAC Space sessions for 2017 and we would be grateful for your inputs. Appended below is a skeletal calendar. To help us plan the year ahead and better prepare for the discussion topics in advance, we would be grateful for your suggestions on any topics that you think will be of interest to the APAC community. The preference is for an ICANN policy-related topic, including areas such as Reviews, or Cross Community Working Group (CCWG) topics such as Auction Proceeds. Grateful for any views by 31 January 2017. Thereafter, we will share a full proposed calendar based on inputs. To kick off the first APAC Space web conference for 2017, we would like to propose for it to take place on Thursday, 16 February 2017, 03:00 (UTC) / 11:00 (SGT). We propose to recap our discussion on the topic of New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process (PDP). As discussions have started to go in depth last year, we will recap the basics of the discussion and highlight the status of key developments, so that the newer members of our community are able to participate. Let us know if you have any comments or suggestions to this please. If not we will proceed accordingly. Thank you and look forward to your response.
