I've been typing nonstop since getting off the plane and am nowhere near through my backlog, so if you don't mind my previous messages on ncsg-discuss will have to do for now on my side.  But hopefully others have some bandwidth to reply. There's also the press reportage.

The December conference I co-organized, agenda was sent here previously with invite.  As a number of relevant folks will be there I think it could be an opportunity to do a side meeting of the coalition/platform/thing about the post-Montevideo/Dilma-Fadi/global  initiative/meeting/summit and the coalition/platform/whatever being formed in support.  As I've noted elsewhere, we need Wolfgang to invent an acronym for all this, it's too awkward.

He'd like to do a roundtable with civil society people, internal/external.  I've mentioned this here previously.  Discussions have been intermittent for months, but now the date's approaching and I've suggested to ICANN we need to decide if we're doing this yes or no and if we are how we can leverage it to mobilize CS @ ICANN around the above mentioned thingy as well as internal stuff.  There was evidence in Bali of a strengthen appreciation of us pain the rear NC types given the larger topography of CS views on ICANN, and it'd be good to build on that.
