    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>

                        send people to non-ICANN meetings in their

                        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

                        doing conference travel.  This could be
                        considered if we wanted to propose a big full

                        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

                        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
