[NCUC E-team] NCUC Conference Website

[William Drake]

Hi

Per previous, ICANN will provide a registration site.  That way they will know inter alia about how many lunches and coffees and reception drinks/munchies to buy, an acute concern on their part. We just need to link to it from our page.

So if that was the main reason for Amiando, fine, we can build it directly on our site, where it belongs!   Pull in some traffic….but then we also need to tidy the rest of the site up too, fix the glaring holes and disconnects etc. in case visitors poke around.

Best

Bill

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.

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…
