<div>Dear Farzaneh,<br><br>Thank you for this detailed update on your activities in the first quarter of 2016. We in Europe are very privileged to have you as our representative on the Executive Committee.</div><div><br></div><div>I read in your summary of the lessons learned from the CPDP conference that it is important to emphasise that membership in the NCUC is free. I agree with this and do hope it can be added to the NCUC website and brochure. I was wondering, however, if we have considered translating the NCUC's website into more languages? I see that the brochure is available in 8 languages, which is brilliant, but I probably would not think to download this resource if I hadn't been handed one at ICANN 54. I think it would be useful to have core website content, like the membership criterion and the about pages, available in languages other than English. </div><div><br></div><div>During the Pre-ICANN 55 Policy Update Webinar last week, Ariel Liang shared a link to the new At-Large website. Their new website is beautiful, filled with content, and has translation tools embedded within it (admittedly these are auto-translation tools which aren't great - but they're a start). I asked if this design was a template available for deployment to other constituencies and Ariel replied in the affirmative, saying that other community groups are free to customise the design and to change elements of it based on their individual needs. Might we be able to explore the possibility of refreshing our website, perhaps using the At-Large template as a starting point?</div><div><br></div><div>Regarding the opening on the Steering Committee on Improvements to GNSO, may I please ask, who is currently or was most recently our representative on this committee? How long is their appointment for? And are they appointed by the NCUC's EC or by another body? (This only serves my own curiosity - I am not looking to nominate myself for this role at this time.)</div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks for all that you do, Farzaneh. It is very much appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>See you in Marrakech,</div><div><br></div><div>Ayden</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 4:07 PM, Maryam Bakoshi <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:maryam.bakoshi@icann.org" target="_blank">maryam.bakoshi@icann.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div><font face="Calibri">Dear NCUC European Members </font>
<div><font face="Calibri"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri">As promised, I am writing to you another email to update you on my activities and inform you about recent announcements. </font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri">1. In January, I attended an intersessional meeting of the GNSO Non Contracted Part House (NCPH) in Los Angeles. The GNSO is made up of contracted (registry and registrars) and non-contracted members (CSG & NCSG). These are the contracted
and non-contracted “houses” of the GNSO. NCUC is of course part of the non-contracted house. I have attached a brief report. If you would like to know more please do not hesitate to contact me. </font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri">The travel to this event is funded by ICANN - it includes EC members as well as GNSO Council members and if there are slots available some other members can attend as well. </font></div>
<div>
<div><font face="Calibri">Here is the link to the event <a href="https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56149573" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" target="_blank">https://community.icann.<wbr>org/pages/viewpage.action?<wbr>pageId=56149573</a><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri">2. We have announced CROPP. CROPP (Community Regional Pilot Programme) is a special funding for NCUC members to do outreach at a specific event in their region. The recipient should do outreach for NCUC. As I told you before, the European
CROPP slot is already allocated however please if you have a conference in mind that you would like to do outreach at, send in your proposal and we can see if we can allocate funding to you after considering other applications. Proposals for outreach in South
East Europe are welcome.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri">3. To take advantage of CPDP, <a href="http://www.cpdpconferences.org/29012016/cave.html" target="_blank">http://www.<wbr>cpdpconferences.org/29012016/<wbr>cave.html</a> meeting, I went to Brussels before CPDP to do outreach with some other NCUC members for
NCUC. We organized an outreach meeting at the ICANN office. ICANN funded my accommodation and transportation, I paid for my airfare. A brief report for this meeting is attached.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri">4. I will send highlights of the Morrocco meeting to NCUC mailing list.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri">5. We also need a candidate for GNSO SCI (Steering Committee on Improvements to GNSO), If you would like to apply please let me know. </font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri">6. We have funded some members to go to ICANN55 meeting at Morrocco. Each If you need information on how to request for funding to go to ICANN meetings and what sort of justification you need you can visit <a href="http://www.ncuc.org/participate/ncuc-travel-support/" target="_blank">http://www.ncuc.org/<wbr>participate/ncuc-travel-<wbr>support/ </a> You
can also contact me for any further information. </font></div>
