<div>As promises earlier in side conversations, I am in, and
happy to help or even coordinate the efforts. I already
informally exchanged ideas with our new member Analia

<div>
<div>Hi</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have in the past have multiple conversational
threads and some initiatives on outreach meetings with
regional civil society people at ICANN meetings. A
quick recap of some relevant data points shared
previously and then a proposal.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>*Staff put money into the FY15 budget to do
conferences based on the success of NCUC’s three
Friday meetings in Singapore, Toronto, and Sa
Francisco. I had suggested as a bridge building
exercise that we do something all together in the
Noncontracted Parties House, and reps of the ISPC,
IPC, and BC expressed initial support, as did staff.
But as things evolved, it became clear that everyone
was worried that Friday 19 in BA might already be
loaded with other high priority activities, so
interest sort of waned.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>*I then looked into whether we could just do
something on our own. I got a room reserved for a
couple hours Friday with all the usual accoutrements
(tech support etc), and was going to see if we could
shake loose some of the budget allocation for food and
drink on the side. But the other days on the SOACSGC
chairs call, it was finally revealed after my repeated
asking that indeed both the IGC and the CCWG will be
holding all day meetings Friday. Knowing that a lot
of us will want to be in those, and that holding a
Friday session involves a lot of extra logistical
work---e.g. getting and paying for early arrival hotel
rooms for enough NCUCers to make it viable---it became
evident that this wasn’t the best option to pursue.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>*So I spoke with Jean Jacques Sahel, the Euro VP
for engagement who supported our little (and
different) Saturday outreach events in London, LA, and
Singapore. He has agreed to secure a two hour late
afternoon Saturday slot (probably 16-18:00) for NCUC
to do its own event, which can be a more substantively
focused session as well as reaching out to LAC CS
types who are not involved in (and often not so
enthused about) ICANN. NPOC can do its own event as
well, so we can each message and do what we want
rather than have these somewhat uncomfortable events
where outsiders get exposed to weird internal silo
dynamics with competing narratives etc. This would be
followed by a joint reception for all CS, like
18-19:30, then people can head off to BA restos for
evening festivities. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>ICANN meeting staff have not begun the process of
making rooms available for reservations by staff, but
JJ is confident he can get something since most
meeting rooms will be unoccupied, and can provide the
booze for the reception. The only downside is that
per usual, Councilors can’t all get up and walk out of
the GNSO meeting, although if the schedule at that
point is congenially inconsequential maybe one or two
could slip out for at least a bit of the event. And
they can join afterwards for the reception.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So: let’s assume that we will do something, and
that this time it will be us organizing it, with staff
just supporting. Several people in the past have said
here that “someone” should organize something. I
suggest the “someone” should involve them, and anyone
else who’s willing and able. Let’s form a Team that
will a) define the substantive program, and b) do
outreach to progressive LAC civil society people to
get them to attend. With regard to the latter, it
would make sense to be in touch with Rodrigo de la
Parra, who’s the Stakeholder Engagement Vice-President
for LAC <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:rodrigo.delaparra@icann.org">rodrigo.delaparra@icann.org</a>.
Thus far he has worked more with At Large's
LACRALO but there’s no reason he can’t assist NCUC as
well. I assume he has a data base of LAC CS types to
whom we could outreach.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Who would like to be part of this effort?</div>

Hi Bill,<br>
<br>
this old idea is worth to recycle again and
again. It SHOULD become a regular event (and
would give NCUC the needed profile and
reputation within the broader ICANN
community as a constructive partner). I
propose to do it always (if possible) in
close cooperation with the local university
or other academic institutions. Other
partners could be the ccTLD in the country
and the relevant ISOC chapter. This would be
also a good step to promote the launch of
national Multistakeholder Platforms, as
recommended by NetMundial and supported by
ICANN.<br>
<br>
BA is a good point to start. Dublin (Trinity
College?) is another opportunity.<br>

I suggest that Bill and team try to
organize feature meeting in African
countries like Kenya so most people like
myself and other may also fully physically
participate.<br>
<br>
It would be good to organize outreach
events in every region in conjunction with
regular ICANN meetings. The problems
historically have been 1) finding a slot
in the packed meeting schedules; 2)
getting resources and a room for meeting
with tech support and reception
afterwards; and 3) getting help with the
organization and mobilization of
participants. I organized meetings at the
London and LA meetings that for varying
local reasons were frankly not as good as
the DC one, but we've learned from these
on substance. There's logistical progress
as well: 1) experience shows that late
Saturday afternoons followed by a
reception seems the best option in terms
of availability of schedule slots and
drawing attendees in advance of
Constituency Day, although this may mean
our Council members miss the first hour;
and 2) I can get resources from the Global
Stakeholder Engagement staff if there's
sufficient advanced notice. Moreover, we
have now the new NCUC Travel Policy which
can support the travel of two active
members up to US $2,000, plus there's the
ICANN Fellows program (more money and a
full immersion program) if people apply
early.<br>
<br>
</span>So the remaining challenge is 3)
lining up relevant potential participants
from the region and managing the invitation
and engagement process. If we wanted to
make this a regular thing, we would need EC
members and regular members with regional
knowledge to coordinate and lead the way. I
pretty much knew who to invite in DC, but
would need local knowledge elsewhere. The
rebooted Membership Affairs Team would seem
the most appropriate vehicle for mobilizing
collective efforts in this regard. While we
were thinking the MAT would focus more on
"in-reach" to existing members than outreach
to potential new members, there's no reason
it couldn't try every 3-4 months to pull
together a list of regional contacts as
well, if people have the bandwidth.<br>
<br>
It's probably too late to try to do
something for Singapore, as rooms have been
allocated, it's only three weeks away, and
I'll be traveling in between. If there was a
upsurge of member commitment to launch and
manage it I could try to bug the staff for a
room and resources, but it'd hard. However,
the MAT could begin to plan for Buenos Aires
in June and beyond. The next Africa meeting
will be in Marrakech 6-11 March 2016.
