a few months. Stick around for a few years, get some real accomplishments for the constituency under your belt and you’ll be in the next one.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

You’re overseers not micromanagers. We are trying to convey a simple message in about 3 minutes. A scene of crowds and audiences makes the subject of the video “the Toronto event” when in fact the subject is “the NCUC.” </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
You accuse others of micromanaging and then tell us the proper way to micromanage according to your views. A crowd shot properly selected no more limits the perception of a video to Toronto, as you suggest, than a NFL productions highlight video of a certain
player limits the message to the specific game in which performance traits placed in a video are taken from.Such an assertion is ridiculous.<br>
<br>
As for the quality of the production I'm far from impressed. Head shots as a focus? Really? In the 2010's? How quaint.<br>
<br>
I'm concerned that the individuals selected to be featured do not represent the current NCUC. Yes, it is a shame that none of our current Chairs or EC members appear in the video. Of greater concern is the lack of diversity of those who have been selected to
appear.<br>
<br>
Every person, but one, in the video that has been shown to me is either an American citizen or works in the United States of America. This does not reflect the reality of our community nor is the message we want to send to others.

It didn't take long for you to attack the motives of those suggesting an opinion other than your own. It's certainly a shame you don't feel confident enough in your arguments to let them stand on their own without resorting to attacks like this.<br>
<br>
I'd suggest, Milton, that you need to avoid the temptation to attack others personally when they feel a video in which you seemingly play a more prominent role than anyone else should not be financed in a way that you, the man with the check book, feels it
should be. <br>

As the individual who stands closer to you on the question of acceptance of ICANN financing than anyone else on the EC, I'm disappointed that you feel throwing bad money after bad money is a wise approach in this case.<br>
<br>
Is there a contract I'm unaware of that means we must proceed at this moment with the production? I have seen no one propose scuttling that which has been done to date and burning the digital images. I see proposals to temporarily halt production until our
other member driven marketing efforts are underway so the film can be incorporated seamlessly into the overall effort. I've even suggested that at some point we may want to spend more money on this production, not less.<br>
<br>
Financing is also an issue. I have a fiduciary responsibility to the members of this organization to properly manage its monies. All EC members do. Our Charter requires the EC to establish a budget. This has not yet been done. I hear rumors of amounts available
that, as Tapani has stated, would mean over 10% of our overall assets would be dedicated to finishing this project.You write resources have already been committed to the project. How much? When ? On whose authority? Questions asked but not answered.<br>
<br>
The current EC inherited a Constituency that was largely a shell. We are building and revitalizing everything. As coordinator of both Outreach and Inreach I can say that an All American, save one, video, is not an approach that is useful to me. As a member
of the EC I can not and will not support any expenditure in excess of $500 until our financial details become transparent and are made known to myself, all NCUC members and the general public. Transparency is a way of life, not a word to be used only to attack
other Constituencies.<br>

Your argument is almost laughable. We have a horrid website, no written material, no letterhead and so we need to start with a costly professional motion picture. One that in part features you.<br>
<br>
It may have escaped your notice but the current EC, under the capable leadership of Bill Drake, has set up a number of committees designed to address the inadequacies of the structure of the NCUC. Thanks for volunteering to serve on the Finance Committee under
the capable leadership of Maria Farrell.<br>
<br>
It's a shame you haven't had the time to join those of us spending countless hours modernizing this Constituency in the e-platform, communications, outreach and inreach committees. I'm sure if you had the time you would have. Over the years few, if any, have
given more to this effort than you. I will always be indebted to you for all you have done for myself and this entire community.<br>
<br>
This is not a question of producing professional quality promotional material, as you assert, rather it is a question of professionally producing a quality promotional campaign. This video, as so much before done by this Constituency, is done on an ad hoc basis
with no linkage to other efforts. We are changing this approach. There will be linkage from the web page to the written materials to, yes, video productions. There may now also be this outdated largely All American video to show the world how diverse we really
are. <br>

Communication presumably would have been the right one) 2) sends a rec to the FT which 3) coordinates with the EC and then if approved MM cuts the check within the context of FT-overseen account management. This is what the EPT will be doing with the proposal
to pull our lists etc. together on an independent server. Of course we don't want to construct unnecessarily rococo bureaucracy, but anything that improves the levels of transparency, accountability and collective decision making seems better than just having
a few folks agree stuff informally, especially if we end up acquiring and allocating more resources down the line. Good to get in good habits….<o:p></o:p></p>

waited on this and done it a bit differently. The production values are high and Eric has got it together, but I'd have preferred content that is a little more structured and hit some points that nobody mentioned, e.g. NCUC's in a particular phase and launching
xyz, ICANN's at a turning point with new gTLDs and internal changes and external geopolitical challenges that make CS engagement more important, some stuff indicating that we're aware of that developing countries exist and are into outreach and strategic engagement,
etc. I also think it'd be logical for a new video PR effort to have at least a few seconds of new EC members who are doing stuff saying outreachy y'all come things etc. To me, this feels like a video NCUC could have shot five years ago, or more.<o:p></o:p></p>

Carlos, I believe you _are_ in a position to decide on NCUC $$$. :-)<br>
Not alone of course, but as a member of the executive committee.<br>
<br>
But, given the discussion in e-team about funding a virtual server,<br>
I assume the process would be the same: writing the proposal up and<br>
passing it via finance team (Maria F) and Bill to the EC for decision.<br>
<br>
As for the proposal, option 2 does sound good, but I would like a bit<br>
more info on both how the money would actually be spent as well<br>
as what NCUCs financial situation actually is, and ideally<br>
have a budget of some kind drafted first so we could consider<br>
what other uses there might be for the money.<br>
But that'd be up to the finance team I presume, so why not<br>
just write the proposal up and let Maria pick it up from there?<br>
<br>
Incidentally, isn't this discussion something that'd<br>
fit the communications team's remit?<br>
(Which I just subscribed, you're welcome to join.)<br>
