<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Dear Bill,<br><br></div>I like very much the structure of the agenda. I would just add that always, in each presentantion, we can stress that the space is open for new comers and the way to do it. We can for instance, set up some local referents (I can help) to be contacted in order to consult what to do as well as to see what can be done locallu, despite the meetings (workshops, webinars, etc). I think that ending the meeting with a feeling that a lot of opportunities do rise for it, would be great.<br><br></div>Now, I practical question: would the presentantions be translated? The same question comes if we are going to provide some material for the meeting.<br><br></div>Regards,<br></div>Analía<br><div><div><br><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 6, 2015 at 4:16 AM, William Drake <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:william.drake@uzh.ch" target="_blank">william.drake@uzh.ch</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi<br>

</span>Hope so!<br>

Of course, he can listen those participants who are more involved in the current ICANN's agenda discussion but I do think it would be a great goal to present opportunities and ways to join us as well as to highlights the next steps.<br>
<br>
</span>Yes, that is why this one in a series of outreach events funded by the Global Stakeholder Engagement budget. BTW Jean Jacques as the funding staffer will want to say 3 min at the front on what is ICANN and where does CS fit. But just a couple slides, not the 40 he sent me on the eve of the London outreach meeting that I had to nix.<br>

<br>
</span>Makes sense<br>
<br>
For reference, here is what we did in DC, which worked very well, but of course we could spin differently here if we want:<br>
<br>
1. Participant Introductions<br>
<br>
2. Brief introduction of NCUC @ ICANN<br>
<br>
3. 2-3 minute introductions of issues NCUC works on in ICANN, e.g.<br>
<br>
• IANA and the transitioning of US (Matt Shears)<br>
<br>
• Accountability mechanisms in the context of globalization (Matt Shears)<br>
<br>
• Human rights generally (Bill Drake)<br>
<br>
• Privacy and registry services (Stephanie Perrin)<br>
<br>
• Access to knowledge and intellectual property (Kathy Kleiman)<br>
<br>
• Freedom of expression (David Cake)<br>
<br>
• Development (Rafik Dammak)<br>
<br>
• ICANN in broader Internet governance, e.g. NETmundial Initiative, IGF (Bill Drake)<br>
<br>
4. Inputs from local participants on how these and related issues are being addressed in<br>
<br>
Washington DC and beyond<br>
<br>
5. Open integrative discussion<br>
