I'm utterly jammed until June and can't work on this soon but if anyone else wants to take a crack at starting an outline/framework we can evolve, please do. <div><br></div><div>From there I see you have links for Correspondence, Motions, and Public Comments. We might want to add something broader like Position Statements, especially if we and/or NCSG ever get to doing Issue Briefs or the like. </div><div><br></div><div>We might also want to have some sort of link here to relevant pages of individual members who write stuff…</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, to my main point. NCUC member Roy Balleste recently joined the e-team. On top of being an IG scholar, Roy is a professional librarian who if memory serves built a data base for the Global Internet Governance Academic Network. Roy has assembled a a group and offered to do the same for NCUC, pulling together all our policy stuff from over the years. See below.</div><div><br></div><div>So </div><div><br></div><div>1. We need for people who have NCUC policy materials from over the years----Correspondence, Motions, Public Comments, Position Statements, etc.—buried somewhere on their computers to send that material to Roy;</div><div><br></div><div>2. Roy, Wilson and Tapani in particular might want to conspire a bit on how to get this stuff onto the website.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Bill</div><div><div><br><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>From: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium;">William Drake <<a href="mailto:william.drake@UZH.CH">william.drake@UZH.CH</a>><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium;"><b>Re: NCUC Database</b><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>Date: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium;">April 14, 2013 6:16:45 PM GMT+02:00<br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>To: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium;">"Balleste, Roy" <<a href="mailto:rballeste@stu.edu">rballeste@stu.edu</a>><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>Cc: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium;">"'Robin Gross' (<a href="mailto:robin@IPJUSTICE.ORG">robin@IPJUSTICE.ORG</a>)" <<a href="mailto:robin@IPJUSTICE.ORG">robin@IPJUSTICE.ORG</a>>, "Garcia, Iraida" <<a href="mailto:igarcia@stu.edu">igarcia@stu.edu</a>>, "Hurst, Jacob R." <<a href="mailto:JHurst@STU.EDU">JHurst@STU.EDU</a>><br></span></div><br><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=windows-1252"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=windows-1252"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi Roy and other magic librarians,<div><br></div><div>Greetings from a train somewhere south of Zurich. Many thanks for your interest and willingness to help out, this is great. It would be really useful if we could pull together as much as possible of NCUC's policy statements and any related materials since 1999 and make them easily accessible via the new website under construction. Of course, this will require that the folks who've got these docs on their computers dig them out and forward them to you. In any event, first I guess you should coordinate with the e-team folks who are reworking the website to get the modalities sorted. Then whenever you're ready to start aggregating docs just say the word on ncuc-discuss and I'll follow up and pester people a bit. And sure, pulling together stuff done under the NCSG label over the past couple years would be sensible as well. Where to put it etc are issues that can be sorted out when we get there…</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Bill</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>
