<br>Thanks for the comments,</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2015-12-31 2:46 GMT+09:00 farzaneh badii <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:farzaneh.badii@gmail.com" target="_blank">farzaneh.badii@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">Hello Rafik</p>
<p dir="ltr">As to EC meeting in Morocco, I will not be attending in person, might be able to make it in person</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p></blockquote><div>I am not sure to understand here, are you saying that you will be able to attend remotely?</div><div>for EC meeting, I was thinking about a breakfast session or morning timeslot, in a day to TBC and avoiding to clash with any accountability session.</div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">We (Ed Sarah and I) might be able to publish a report on ICANN DIDP is it possible to put a request for that if it is finalised on time? Is it also possible to ask if the ncuc members have something current and related to ncuc and the pressing issues related to icann that they want to publish? </p>
<p dir="ltr"></p></blockquote><div>the deadline for printouts ready with design and so on is 5th February, if we are requesting help for the design, we have to send content by 10th January. I guess that is doable to get the DIDP report if submitted by the deadline design and content included (5th Feb). </div><div>I think the publication is about NCUC related material and content for example posters etc for outreach purpose.</div><div> are you suggesting that we printout more reports etc?</div><div>I will check with the staff for communication because we have the limits of the allocated budget (for example printing some pages for handouts during NCUC session may be possible in situ and handled by Maryam while something well-designed and more professional looking material need to be shipped)</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">So far I have only received the electronic version of the invitation for LA. It might be sufficient. </p></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I will send reminder to ICANN staff. travel constituency will be back in 4th Jan and we will have just one month to get our travel details arranged, </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr"> </p>
<p dir="ltr">As to special financial request, are we going to issue a call to NCUC members for proposals and initiatives as well?</p></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I would think that EC should take the lead here and each EC member work on drafting one request at least. myself I am thinking to propose several requests based upon previous ones and also seeing what other groups did (I will also work on financial request to support our GNSO staff proposals for community support we are currently getting ).</div><div><br></div><div>we should make such drafts in coming weeks and then possibly consulting and asking for inputs. just issuing a call to NCUC membership may be not enough to entice feedback (or just throwing some ideas which still have to be worked out by the EC at the end).</div><div>so let's work on some proposals and then see if we can get comments and support for them. we have also to be aware about the program limitations, for example requests for extra travel support for ICANN meetings tended to be rejected by ICANN finance team.</div><div>I am thinking if we should ask the ICANN Finance staff for a confcall here to understand more the process and constraints to be effective? </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr"> </p>
<p dir="ltr">As to the agenda for our meeting I would like to discuss the following: <br>
1. CROPP, how we assign it to individuals how we should improve it and how it actually works. (it seems like each region gets one slot for the year I don't know much but I also would like to discuss the evaluation of projects when we receive them)</p></blockquote><div>+1</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr"> </p>
<p dir="ltr">2. Updating the website regarding what EC does. I think it would be good to have a brief description of our duties what we do etc. And I suggest a process illustration of ncuc governance structure. How we make public comments etc. </p>
<p dir="ltr"></p></blockquote><div>yes. also having more content about policy issues for example. btw I am not sure that we get the reports/posts for those who get the NCUC travel funding for Dublin meeting </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">3. Allocation of travel slots to ec members. I think EC members should also justify their request for travel and if it is not critical for them to attend the meeting the funding should go to other active ncuc members. </p>
<p dir="ltr"></p></blockquote><div>Ok. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">4. Bylaws amendment. I suggest inviting Arun and see where we r at and where we want to go. </p>
<p dir="ltr"></p></blockquote><div> I reached Arun last week. one idea is to resume the discussion in the dedicated list (maybe having a confcall soon) and then sharing that in main NCUC list. we got the google doc including several comments, we have to work more there.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">Thanks. I'll get back to you about the intersessional agenda. </p>
