<div>Hi Bill, <br>
I would be happy to attend and need no travel funds (since I live
in DC). I think these meetings can be very strategic, and if
organized well, very useful. I think it would be a good idea to
mix our marvelous new participants with those of us who have lived
in the trenches over many years. <br>
Best,<br>

Hi
<div><br>
</div>
<div><i>Warning: long message ahead</i><br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have mentioned several times at our Constituency
Day meetings and on the list that there is a intersessional
meeting of the NonContracted Parties House (NCPH) scheduled
for Washington DC Monday-Tuesday January 12-13. If resources
can be found, there could also be a sort of outreach session
in the morning of the 14th geared toward DC civil society
groups, think tanks, etc. The latter is very much TBD.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We did one of these two years ago in LA, and the
documents are here <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/ncph/InterSessional+-+January+2013" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/display/ncph/InterSessional+-+January+2013</a> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The recording and transcripts for the planning
of the 2015 meeting are here <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/ncph/Planning:+Conference+Calls,+Recordings,+Transcripts" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/display/ncph/Planning%3A+Conference+Calls%2C+Recordings%2C+Transcripts</a>.
The records of meeting we held just two days ago, which of
course has the latest news, are attached to this message.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You don’t need to have a Confluence wiki log-in
to access these docs, but I think you do need one if you
want to comment/edit etc. I believe that anyone who wants
to be active in GNSO-related work can get one, just shoot a
note to one of the relevant staffers, e.g. <a href="mailto:maryam.bakoshi@icann.org" target="_blank">maryam.bakoshi@icann.org</a>, <a href="mailto:Glen@icann.org" target="_blank">Glen@icann.org</a> or <a href="mailto:nathalie.peregrine@icann.org" target="_blank">nathalie.peregrine@icann.org</a> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyway, the purpose of this meeting will be to
take stock of common concerns among members of the
non-contracted parties, i.e.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><i>Commercial Stakeholder Group</i></div>
<div>Business Constituency</div>
<div>Intellectual Property Constituency</div>
<div>Internet Service Providers Constituency </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><i>NonCommercial Stakeholder Group</i></div>
<div>NonCommercial Users Constituency</div>
<div>Not for Profit Operational Concerns Constituency</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The trilateral negotiation between commercial,
noncommercial, and staff can be a bit thick at times, but
the basic idea is that this is an occasion to do things like
a) try to improve dialogue and collaboration between the SGs
on procedural responsibilities we share, like selecting a
board member, a Vice Chair for the GNSO council, etc (these
have been very painful in the past); b) provide an
opportunity for brainstorming among the new representatives
of the stakeholder groups and constituencies; and c) a
chance to intensively interact with Fadi and staff on
matters of common concern.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>ICANN provides us with travel support as
follows:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>21 travel slots split between NCSG, NCUC and
NPOC:<br>
- NCSG 9 (normally, the 6 Councilors + the chair and two
people from the NCSG EC, or perhaps the PC)<br>
- NCUC 6 (normally, the chair and the five regional reps on
the Exec. Committee)<br>
- NPOC 6 (normally, the chair and whomever from their EC
they select, I don’t know how it works)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Rafik has written to the NCSG PC to see who will
be available to attend. Now I am writing to NCUC, and not
just the EC, since we don’t know for sure who will be on the
2015 EC until the election process is further along. Plus
we may wish to modify things, below.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For NCUC, it is a bit difficult to say now who
we would be sending because the election process is just
getting underway and further nominations are (hopefully!)
pending. So far we have one nomination for 5 of the 6 slots
(still nobody from LAC, and just until Sunday to get one,
plus any competitors for the other seats). By next Monday
17th nominations are closed and we know who the candidates
are. Those who do not face any competition for the
respective seat can be assumed to be on the 2015 EC unless a
majority of members abstain, which would be odd. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In which case I’d be able to forward their names
to Constituency Travel, which is very desperate for us to
submit names so they can start working on travel
arraignments, especially since unlike the business groups a
number of our people will be from countries that may require
visas.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What I need to know ASAP (Please reply off list)
is:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) Whether each of the candidates for the new EC
would be interested in attending if elected. Travel would
be arrival in DC on Sunday 11 January with departure either
13 Tuesday or 14 Wednesday, depending on whether we do an
outreach thing Wednesday and there is funding, possible,
flight itineraries, etc., all TBD</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) Whether there are other member would be
interested in attending if a slot opens up (i.e. an EC
member is unable to attend). Probably it would be
preferable if a replacement person were from the same region
as the non-participating EC member, but this is not
mandatory.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To get a sense of whether this meeting might be
of interest and and something to which you can contribute,
one might want to have a look at the documents at the web
pages linked above.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any questions, let me know.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best</div>
