to hear that the EC will re-evaluate whether or not we choose to participate in
this pilot programme. At my second ICANN meeting in Marrakech, I remember listening
to Kathy Kleiman brilliantly communicate to the Board that we needed to build our capacity to
absorb an increased, growing, and specialised workload. When this pilot
programme was announced, it felt to me like our calls had been heard and resources
were being offered to boost our participation in ICANN activities. Now it seems
like other, already-better resourced constituencies and stakeholder groups are benefiting from this
programme while we turned it down… do forgive me if I am oversimplifying things…
I just think a better path forward would be if participated in the pilot
programme and set our own parametres around what support we would
accept and what support we would find unsuitable. <br><br>Best wishes,</div><div><br></div><div class="m_7254992166765736497m_375042038486576670m_4120222219488027209protonmail_signature_block"><div class="m_7254992166765736497m_375042038486576670m_4120222219488027209protonmail_signature_block-user"><div>Ayden Férdeline<br></div><div><a title="http://www.linkedin.com/in/ferdeline" href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/ferdeline" target="_blank">linkedin.com/in/ferdeline</a><br></div></div><div class="m_7254992166765736497m_375042038486576670m_4120222219488027209protonmail_signature_block-proton m_7254992166765736497m_375042038486576670m_4120222219488027209protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br></div></div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite" class="m_7254992166765736497m_375042038486576670m_4120222219488027209protonmail_quote"><div>-------- Original Message --------<br></div><div>Subject: Re: [NCUC-DISCUSS] WBC Global policy support pilot - is NCUC participating in it?<br></div><div>Local Time: 22 December 2016 12:11 PM<br></div><div>UTC Time: 22 December 2016 12:11<br></div><div>From: <a href="mailto:farzaneh.badii@gmail.com" target="_blank">farzaneh.badii@gmail.com</a><br></div><div>To: matthew shears <<a href="mailto:mshears@cdt.org" target="_blank">mshears@cdt.org</a>><br></div><div>NCUC-discuss <<a href="mailto:ncuc-discuss@lists.ncuc.org" target="_blank">ncuc-discuss@lists.ncuc.org</a>><br></div><div><br></div><div dir="auto"><div>We didn't continue discussing it and in the end did not sign up for it for this time.
