<div><div dir="ltr">Hi Rafik，Hi Teammates，<div><br></div><div>Great to have us gathering on the new EC. </div><div>It is really my honor to work with you in the coming new year under the leadership of Rafik. <span style="font-size:12pt">Thanks to Rafik for making us start so quickly.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12pt"><br></span></div><div>1. I would like to attend the NCPH meeting held on 4-5 Febrary, 2016.</div><div>My question is whether the date is set or not. Is it possible for us to make it earlier?</div><div><br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>yes it is definite dates, not the most convenient but no way to change then. still need response from Milton about his availability to close the travel allocation discussion for it.</div><div>I will share the initial plan later on since we need to discuss about some topics we would like to suggest for the meeting. it will be the first opportunity for the new EC to have F2F meeting.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div dir="ltr"><div></div><div>2. For the Marrakech meeting, I <span style="font-size:12pt">also</span><span style="font-size:12pt"> plan to attend. I am not sure whether I will obtain any funding from my employer, anyway I will try to secure some funding.</span></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>thanks, please do so. we get Joao and Milton for the 2 slots. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>3. I agree very much with Rafik's idea of having a regular EC call each month, which would offer us the opportunity to discuss items of running the whole constituency. For the time of calls, I am available on Monday till Thursday between 12:00 UTC to 14: 00 UTC and on Friday after 14:00 UTC. </div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>good, I see a lot of support for Friday , after getting confirmation from the rest of EC we can go with that date/time.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>4. For NCUC appointments, I would like to refer you guys to the Documentation (though therea are some vacancies)that I finished couple of weeks ago, which would help NCUC members understand the diversity of representatives NCUC appoints to other groups and organizations within ICANN and help us EC members make decisions with the incumbents and members who are interested in the roles. </div><div><br></div><div>5. For the MAT that was previously led by Walid, there is clearly the NCUC Member Engagement Survey which has encompassed the problems members are confronted with. We have to dig into the survery and summarize those problems. There are points based on which we could start our work, for example, helping new members get involved as quickly as possible.</div><div><br></div></div></div></blockquote><div>regarding MAT, we will have some discussion there. I understand that Joao has some interest to lead it, hopefully he can clarify what is his plan. survey is just one input like another so we shouldn't limit ourselves, there are additional ways to get more feedback. the challenge for the MAT is to propose action-oriented plan with concrete proposals that can be executed</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div dir="ltr"><div></div><div>6. For the coming 2016, hope we could get those big items done. Propose we start from the NCUC bylaws rewriting. Hopfully, we can produce a draft proposal that includes the bullet points we want to change in order to be in line with the NCSG Charter.</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>the bylaws update is led by Arun and already underway . I will ask him for briefing and suggestion to move forward. to get all EC members in the same page. probably by setting a regular confcall as done previously in September. I will also liaise with ICANN staff and OEC on that matter to get the process right</div><div><br></div><div>one thing I would like to stress is that all EC members should get more familiar with ongoing policies discussed within GNSO, also related processes . at least to support properly our new members to get involved .</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Rafik</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Above is my rough response.</div><div><span style="font-size:12pt">Ready to cooperate with our Chair and Continent Representatives.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Best</div><div>Peter</div><div><br></div><div><div><div class="hm HOEnZb"><hr>From: <a href="mailto:rafik.dammak@gmail.com" target="_blank">rafik.dammak@gmail.com</a><br>Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2015 22:05:32 +0900<br>To: <a href="mailto:ggithaiga@hotmail.com" target="_blank">ggithaiga@hotmail.com</a><br>Subject: Re: [NCUC-EC] let's start<br>CC: <a href="mailto:ncuc-ec@lists.ncuc.org" target="_blank">ncuc-ec@lists.ncuc.org</a></div><div><div class="h5"><br><br><div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>so we got expression from interest from milton and joao for marrakech while grace and farzaneh cannot come. we will make decision checking who got the travel slot for Dublin.</div><div>for ncph, Grace, Joao, Farzaneh are willing to come.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div><div dir="ltr">Rafik <br></div></div></div>

<p dir="ltr">first congratulation for being elected as NCUC EC member and thanks to the former EC members Bill and Stefania. </p>
<p dir="ltr">We have to start our work quickly and to make already some admin decisions within this week</p>
<p dir="ltr">1- Travel allocation<br>
we got to decide about travel allocation for:<br>
* 3 travel slots for ICANN marrakech meeting: from the current practice, one slot goes to NCUC chair and 2 slots are split by rotation to EC members. So we need to get confirmation who is planning to go to the next ICANN meeting, having or not self-funding etc to make decision.<br>
* 6 travel slot for the Non-Contracted Party House intercessional meeting in LA (4-5 Feb 2016) : the NCPH meeting is a yearly-meeting where we get to discuss with our counterpart in GNSO, the CSG, in several topics of interest. the planning is underway and we need to get the names of those who will get the travel slots soon. we have decide who will go there.<br>
I would like to get this done in the next 72 hours, ICANN staff has been waiting for a while to get the lists.</p>
<p dir="ltr">2- NCUC EC call</p>
<p dir="ltr">we should plan a NCUC EC call, hopefully, in december and make it a monthly regular call. one suggestion would to agree on regular day/time for such call, for example the the second or third friday of every month at 13:00UTC for 2 hours.<br>
however, we will still have to discuss many topics by email too. an active participation is required</p>
<p dir="ltr">3- Planning for Marrakech</p>
<p dir="ltr">the planning for marrakech and schedule will start soon. I will send proposal for agenda and NCUC meetings there. There is a possibility to have a CS outreach event. </p>
<p dir="ltr">4- Appointements</p>
<p dir="ltr">we should start working to appoint and/or confirm representatives to different groups: NCUC representatives to NCSG EC, PC, GNSO SCI etc. </p>
<p dir="ltr">We should also rejuvenate/reactivate the teams we have within NCUC like membership team etc. Our role is to support those groups of volunteers and help them </p>
<p dir="ltr">5- Planning for 2016</p>
<p dir="ltr">I do think we got several areas to work on for next year such as NCUC incorporation, bylaws update, outreach effort ( planning on CROPP allocation), membership management, membership engagement, policy support etc. the list is definitely non exhaustive. it is a strategical planning exercise for us and it will give us some roadmap for 2016 and further.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I believe that we should also think on how to share the workload, roles to lead the different workstreams we would have and how to track progress (some project management flavor to be added).</p>
<p dir="ltr">looking for your feedback and inputs. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Best,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Rafik </p>
