[NCUC E-team] NCUC Conference Website

[Milan, Stefania]

Dear everyone
I am emerging (much slower than I had hoped for) from a bad month of heavy coughing and other delights, so forgive I am so slow at reacting.

Now, I can work on setting up the website. I find these things relaxing and I am familiar with the (very simple) CMS/theme on which the website runs. It seems to me that, if you are ok with the conference being a new menu item (with its own drop-down menu including all of the items listed by Bill as separate pages), then we can have it easily on our existing website. It wouldn't even take long to build - provided one has the texts and there is consensus on what goes where. So, I would be happy to take this on board.

Before that, however, the current website needs to be updated. More on that on a separate mail.
Have a good rest of the weekend! Stefania

This should be taken care, at least I asked for it and Fadi said sure.  And I chatted with David Olive the other day about the logistics and repeated the request, he didn’t signal a problem.

Not sure we need a transcript, we never did before.  Video’s enough, and I’m already asking them for a lot of unplanned budget with all that entails.

The real, near-term high priority for the ET will be to build the conference website.  This meeting will be higher on more radars than anything before so we have to have something that looks and functions right.

A first question is whether it can be hung off the NCUC site will all necessary bells and whistles, or would we need to do it somewhere else.  Robin put the two prior conferences here http://www.amiando.com/ncucaticann.html and here http://www.amiando.com/NCUC-ICANN45.html.

I’m no webmeister and don’t know what the NCUC site is capable of handling well.  But it will need all the same elements as before—program, bios, links to ICANN-provided remote participation and registration pages, location map, etc.  We would also want video archives, and if either NCUC or other stakeholder groups get it together to provide written inputs for background to particular panels, we’ll want to post these too.  In a perfect world we might even contemplate web chats associated with panel/topics, but probably that’s too much to deal with, and it’d be embarrassing if nobody used it once built.  You never know…

Anyway, I hope you folks can start to think about how to pull this together…

Best,

Bill
