** I think it's good you don't have to be famous to get in the deck, but we may want to also have an eye for good sports. I.e., your average attendee may not want 1,000 cards floating around with a caricature of them on it. It's easier to expect a positive response when dealing with the big ICANN attendees because everyone knows them anyway! Also, picking out good caricatures will help control this problem.

** I was expecting sponsors to be put on an extra card in the deck; not because this was ever discussed or even listed as a possible option yet, but because most decks of cards have those extra ad-type cards...This is another one of my solutions that would require more printing, thus money and coordination with the printers..but with the amount we're ordering maybe we could swing that. ANYWAYS, I think the joker could work for the reasons ya'll have stated, but they also are prime real-estate. With that said, I don't think I know anyone well enough to nominate them as an ICANN joker. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]</s>

; One sponsor joker, one person joker. Can move sponsors if we figure out another good joker.

<s>* Also, I've noticed the beginnings of thematic grouping of the individuals by suit. That's a good idea in my opinion, it provides a cohesiveness to the suit and I think it even helps carry forward the way ICANN is very much set around networks and groups rather than individuals. If we made those categories firm it would help us fill in the blanks more quickly. (it could be hard to fill out and entire suit, but I still think it's worth it). Right now it seems we have: Spades - ICANN Supporting Orgs, Clubs- ICANN Board members and ICANN staff, Hearts - People from the RALOS, Diamonds - Sponsors. I like that too (I've been saying I like a lot of things, it's true). We could combine the RALOS/Supporting Orgs if we wanted to do a whole suit of non-affiliated attendees, the non-famous attendees if you will. Room to play here but I like the thematic grouping idea.[[User:Andrew|Andrew]]</s>
