Hi

On João’s helpful suggestions, some initial reactions:

Substantive policy work is done at the SG level in the GNSO context.  Rafik and before him Robin have been putting material on Confluence https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/NCSG-Wiki+Home <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/NCSG-Wiki+Home>, as NCSG has no independent website.  What might make sense is to make some definitive decisions on how to organize and update the relevant NCSG pages and then put links to these from the NCUC site?

I think this is a good idea, while there is a good bit of info on the site now it’s probably not aggregated and optimized effectively for newbies.  Best done in Membership Affairs Team (MAT) with strong EC participation.

Also MAT

> d) Develop one newcomers guide - who, when, where, what  and Acronyms survival guide ( http://quizlet.com/subject/ICANN/ <http://quizlet.com/subject/ICANN/> ) 

There’s some such stuff already done by staff for At Large that could probably be repurposed, MAT should look at the site.  

> e) Capacity Building through of http://learn.icann.org <http://learn.icann.org/> 

Encouraging people to use that and linking from ncuc.org <http://ncuc.org/> would seem right.

> 2) Online Tutorials and articles, writing by the members ( the beginnings of social networks  principle)

I wish we could entice people to write even short bits for the website, but calls for inputs have led nowhere before. If the MAT gets active maybe we can try again more effectively.

> 3) Creation of mailing list animators group - group of persons that was focused on keep alive some hot topics, enhancing the newcomer's participation (saying something like: good point, adding value to this discussion, or in other cases giving the links for FAQ and/or Tutorials).


Interesting idea, if people will contribute the time, which need not be much.  Again, MAT seems the place to discuss.

Thanks again,

Bill
