I think mostly this is part of on-boarding and mentorship, though - the more involved members helping others up to speed. </div><div class="">I am happy to brief members on the RDS cross-immunity session, I suspect Stephanie will be happy to as well.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Approach 2 is more an opportunity for direct policy work. I think the GAC suggestion is a good one. The tricky part is organising a useful sub-group of the GAC - they are in session themselves most of the time, and it can be quite hard to get a group that can have a useful discussion on an issue. We would probably have to rely on the GNSO-GAC liaison helping, and I don’t know how useful Carlos will be. I am happy to talk to Carlos and try and set up some discussions, but no guarantees if he does not deliver. </div><div class="">The ccNSO I think there is already the GNSO/CCNSO council meeting, if there are specific issues to discuss perhaps. </div><div class="">The leaders of PDP working groups that do NOT have public sessions perhaps? I know that we already have hours of RDS meetings, all of which generally have NCUC people such as me and Stephanie already heavily involved, and I don’t think there would be much value in separate meetings just with NCUC (though a quick strategy meeting just for NCUC/NCSG people might be useful). I think its similar for the other two big WGs. . </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">David</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 20 Apr 2017, at 12:09 pm, farzaneh badii <<a href="mailto:farzaneh.badii@gmail.com" class="">farzaneh.badii@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">All, </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">If we want to have NCUC meeting(s) during the policy forum, then we need to ask before 26 April for meeting slots</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I suggest a couple of approaches, please comment </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><b class="">1.</b> Not to have any stand alone NCUC meeting, but have morning policy briefings and afternoon briefings of what policy discussions are going on and why we should attend them. We can also help GNSO with arranging the 8 to 8.30 outreach they have OR we could have our own briefings for our members and newcomers. Such briefings, however, need a lot of policy insights so EC members attending the meeting should be well versed on various topics beforehand. You can do this by consulting with Rafik, Matt and Ayden. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Approx 8 cross-community sessions were proposed.

For example, NCUC could meet with some GAC members to discuss two things: Underserved regions and two letter top level domain that match country codes. But someone from EC has to learn about these issues and run the meeting. So, are there any volunteers? We can also meet with ccNSO members and just introduce ourselves and tell them what we do at GNSO and what issues we work on. Or, meet with the leaders of PDP working groups ( they might never have the time) to update us on their work).</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">3.

Lets focus on brief policy outreaches in the mornings, set strategy before you go to the GNSO policy meetings or any other meeting we identify as necessary. The strategy to include: what we are going to attend, what issues we are going to address, how and who to report back to NCUC), and hold short brainstorming sessions during the the week of the meeting. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><div class="gmail_default">We also need an NCUC report at the end of the meeting.
