I would be happy to help, and I vote for Friday because we are more
likely to get data commissioners and their staff their on a Friday.
I had proposed to the IWGDPT that Dublin would be a good time for
some of them to show up....the next meeting of the Berlin group is
in Berlin on the 13th, so there may be folks who could make it on
Friday, fresh from the meeting.<br>
Kind regards Steph<br>

<div>I’d love to see something happen in Dublin. Only question
is what. The basic choice again is a) a two hour outreach to
civil society event on Saturday, funded through other staff
budget, like we’re doing in BA; or b) a full day Friday
conference with panels and lots of non-CS people etc, which
we’d have to apply for and which would preclude using the
CROPP money for travel. Personally I’m totally open to
whatever people can all get behind.</div>

<div>Our Constituency Day meeting in BA is four weeks from
today, 16 June. Maybe we can try to squeeze in a little
discussion there (schedule’s dense, alas) and then contemplate
this further online afterwards…?</div>

<div class="">b) Dublin is EU HQ for a good number of
tech firms, e.g. Twitter just came under the Irish
data protection office's auspices last week, so there
is both interest and need to get local civil society

<div style="word-wrap:break-word" class="">Hello

<div class="">CROPP is the program mentioned here
and at Constituency Days a number of times over
the past couple years that provides funds for up
to 5 people from NCUC and other groupings to
send people to non-ICANN meetings in their
regions to do outreach. In FY15 we submitted 5
applications, 4 approved and one pending. <a

href="https://community.icann.org/display/croppfy15/NCUC+Drafts"
target="_blank" class="">https://community.icann.org/display/croppfy15/NCUC+Drafts</a> As
you can see from the below, even with this
growth (in FY14 we submitted 0 proposals), At
Large still makes much more abundant use of
these than GNSO constituencies. Going forward
it would seem worth taking advantage of the
opportunity if there are good meetings that
could be high yield in terms of outreach and
recruitment.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Staff also offer an alternative use
of funds as of FY16, to organize a one-time
community Outreach/Engagement Event instead of
doing conference travel. This could be
considered if we wanted to propose a big full
day event like the policy conferences we
organized in Singapore, Toronto and San
Francisco <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ncuc.org/events/conferences-and-workshops/"
target="_blank" class="">http://www.ncuc.org/events/conferences-and-workshops/</a>.
These take a good deal of work to pull together
and tend to draw ICANN insiders from other parts
of the community more than non-involved civil
society types for recruitment, but if there is
some feeling that we’d like to do a
Friday-before-the-meeting blowout in Dublin,
Marrakech or wherever the June 2016 meeting will
be, we could consider the feasibility. If
instead we are content to continue on the path
we’re on now, with two-hour outreach events
geared toward civil society scheduled on meeting
Saturdays and supported through a different
staff budget (as per the London and upcoming
Buenos Aires meeting), then we could use the
CROPP for conference travel per usual.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">A more immediate action item: Staff
have established a new requirement for FY16—in
order to remain eligible, we must submit an
Outreach Strategic Plan by 30 September 2015.
Staff is developing a template for these. I
would think that the Membership Affair Team
would be the appropriate vehicle for this
effort, and hope members gathered there will
take the bull by the horns when the template is
ready.</div>
