EPIC grant to NCUC

[Adam Peake]

Well done getting more cash -- thanks Milton.  Thank you EPIC.

Only thought, is an ICANN meeting where we need to do outreach and
membership work?

There will be another workshop in Whois at Carthage and I think
that's the most important issue on ICANN's agenda at the moment.
Perhaps a good idea to support a second Whois/privacy expert
(Stephanie Perrin, if she's able to attend, or is not anyway
attending on EPIC's behalf, or Alan Davidson, CDT) or someone from
Europe who could provide comment on issues beyond the US/N. American
view.

No detailed agenda from ICANN.  Hard to know what additional
expertise might be required.  This has always been a problem of
trying to target funds for attendance at ICANN meetings.

Thanks,

Adam
