<font class="" face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span class="" style="font-size:12pt">I would have preferred to hear more, from everyone, before weighing in, but time is now running short. So I would suggest James and Arun. I think our priority at this meeting
is to have as big a footprint as possible in the transition and accountability processes, which will be coming to a head in BA. People who participated F2F or remotely on Constituency Day in Singapore will recall that we had George Sadowsky from the Board
visit us and say he didn’t ‘see’ NCUC engagement and contributions to a lot of current discussions. Of course, one could reply he ought to look more closely because we do in fact have multiple people involved in multiple settings (perhaps that they do so
as NCSG confuses, who knows), but the fact that anyone from the board could think we’re just twiddling our thumbs internally rather than actively participating and contributing is not helpful, particularly with the GNSO Review underway (with Westlake having
slimed us in the draft report) and wider structural changes potentially in the offing as a result of the accountability process. NCUC would be well served by unquestionably being all over this stuff, especially with newer and diverse faces alongside the familiar
veterans. Look at the preliminary schedule <a href="http://buenosaires53.icann.org/sites/default/files/icann53_blockschedule_april2015.pdf" class="" style="color:purple; text-decoration:underline">http://buenosaires53.icann.org/sites/default/files/icann53_blockschedule_april2015.pdf</a>,
there are two full days of transition and accountability meetings the 18th and 19th, followed by a number of additional ones throughout the week plus the GNSO which will undoubtedly discuss these items as well. The BA meeting is fundamentally about the transition
and accountability processes, which are very time sensitive and constitute a turning point in the history of ICANN and Internet governance. </span></font></div>

<font class="" face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span class="" style="font-size:12pt">All things being equal I would happily have supported funding Monika, but at this meeting things aren’t equal. As much as I’m delighted to have her on board and helping to
drive the human rights work, that is an ongoing process that is inchoate, not on most of the community’s radar yet, and moving forward incrementally. There will be one, maybe two sessions on it (I’ll be surprised if meeting staff agree to two, but you never
know), and we will be talking about it continuously going forward so there will be many opportunities to engage. If she can’t get funding from another source and has to participate remotely, that’d be a drag but politically less impactful than being thin
in the transition and accountability sessions. Since the meeting to follow will be in Europe, probably she will be able to get there one way or another. I would also note that we got her CROPP funding to attend the EuroDIG meeting, so it’s not like we’d
be failing to show our appreciation of her contributions.</span></font></div>

<font class="" face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span class="" style="font-size:12pt">In easier circumstances I’d have been happy to James Njoroge Gitau. As with Ben in Singapore, getting newer or so far less engaged members (particularly from the developing
world) to meetings is a good thing to do when we can. But again, this meeting strikes me as one where we want fully up to speed and engaged people representing us. James and Arun have quickly made their presence felt in the Istanbul and online transition
and accountability meetings, and I’d think we’d want to deepen their participation with us and these processes. Were we to agree to make offers to them, we could make these conditional on them agreeing to come early and attend the meetings the 18th and 19th.
If they get cheap hotels off site that shouldn’t be too big an ask.</span></font></div>
