<p>Raoul, A belated thanks to you for sharing your report of the
meeting in Hyderabad, and the events you attended. Your work on
behalf of more balance on the NomCom -- now and in the future --
will be important for our representation in the years to come.
Good luck and please let us know what assistance you need.</p>

<div>Report from Hyderabad:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is going to be a little lengthy, for I am going to
list the sessions I attended in ICANN57. Before we get to that
though, I'd like to tell you what concrete things I did while
in Hyderabad. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Right at the start, I wanted to "get a case", which I did,
when Milton told me of the outrageous imbalance of the <a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/nomcom-2013-12-13-en" target="_blank">NomCom</a>
seats (1/7 for the Non-commercial interests). From then on, I
was trying to meet other SG's and the board's leaders, to
discuss said imbalance and I think I did quite well with that.
I was talking to Rubens Kuhl, Reg Levy, Zoe Bonython and
finally, in the plane Rinalia Abdul Rahim and they all seemed
very sympathetic to this issue, which I also <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154755999813556&set=a.432521718555.211342.614518555&type=3" target="_blank">raised
at the Public Forum</a>. Most of them seemed actually
surprised to hear that we only had one seat. I am going to
pursue this in the future too.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I also got my hands finally dirty with the actual
paperwork, that was in the form of Bylaws changing operation.
I decided to intervene, when I realised that the bylaws are
being changed without having a clear view, what the changes
will be actually like. For this I made the tabled version of
the bylaws that makes comaprison much easier. I suggest we use
<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oMzuQglPSIeWjrZOzdJgjZUi2QdYwdxXfRe_SWuvmcY/edit" target="_blank">my
format</a> in the future for the purposes of amending
already existing documents.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On top of this, I concentrated on networking. I got a few
nice leads, of which two of them were starting up cooperation
in South Africa and Mexico - on opening up their data and
creating a new chapter for the Open Knowledge International.
That's the most concrete things I could think of. I hope it
was more, but I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of
this. Please be patient with me and my questions. :)</div>

<div>I would've done this report already last night, but
coincidentally, I've actually been put into the biggest social
media/media hassle in my life at this exact time. I've given
an anonymous interview for slavejobs in Finland because of a
FB-page I've started and for the last four days, I've been
fighting the lies of True Finns party rag, that is making
blatant lies that infuriate people that are not capable of
media critique. I've never got this much attention in the
media before and of course it had to happen at this crucial
time. I could simply not ignore it. C'est la vie.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Respectfully yours,</div>
