[NCUC-DISCUSS] Fwd: Re: "MEET THE CANDIDATES" ELECTION WEB MEETING Saturday 14 December 15:00 UTC

Mon Jan 6 02:52:57 CET 2014

Greetings from the past...

when I was a GNSO council member, I had the same problem like Remmy in 
Nigeria, as I am a resident of Cambodia.

But, as Nathalie wrote, there is a way the GNSO secretariat can help, as 
Glen did regularly for me in the past: they arranged that I received a 
call and in this way could participate. Thanks for that service, as long 
as the telecom providers do not follow a "general service provision 
rule" in this case, but have only relays to countries with an economic 
benefit for them.

I am still in Cambodia, but now in a worse situation: living now in a 
province outside of the normal coverage of ISPs - I just moved again 
back to the complete "digital divide" era  (unless I travel, just like now).

Dear Remmy,

Sadly we depend on telecom providers for these conferences. Our current 
provider, one who has the most lines amongst all its competitors does 
sadly not have a number for Nigeria. They do operate however an 
excellent dial out service. If you would like to send me via private 
email, your contact details, we will very happily set up a dial out for you.

Please let me know if this is to your convenience,

Kindest regards

Nathalie

GNSO Secretariat

thanks Nathalie/ Bill for all the efforts

Unfortunately i did not get to see any number from emerging countries so 
to say, Africa and Nigeria particularly. Does it mean we don't have 
members from these regions or telephone lines.

I think this got to be corrected once and for all. If we don't have 
anything we have over 100m mobile lines, so why can't ICANN staff have 
reason to have Nigeria and some African countries listed in the group calls.

We have got to correct this kind of marginalisation and building an 
all-inclusive ICANN starts with all-inclusive constituencies.

Hello

First, a reminder that our election runs through Tuesday 17th, so not 
many days left to vote.   Staff say we are presently at about 50% turn 
out; hopefully we can improve on this?  Again, we have some tight races 
that could be decided by a vote or two, and this is important to our 
credibility and advocacy within ICANN and beyond, so please do vote if 
you have not.

Second, after some Doodling and discussion, we have managed to find a 
time to do an Adobe Connect web meeting in which at least 8 of the 10 
candidates for the Exec. Committee can be available to take questions 
and chat with members.  This includes Walid, who was unsure until 
yesterday, when his wife gave birth to their son a couple days early 
(congrats again, Walid :-)  It may or may not include me, as I will be 
in London in meetings, and Grace, who will be in rural Kenya for the 
country's 50th anniversary and may not have connectivity.  But we will 
try our best to be there.

Staff has kindly agreed to assist us on a weekend when they're not 
supposed to be working (thanks again).  So the meeting will be held this 
Saturday, 14 December, 15:00 UTC, for 60-90 minutes, depending on 
demand.  That time seemed the happy medium/median between candidates in 
the Western hemisphere and those in Asia, apologies if it's not 
convenient for someone else.

Avri Doria has kindly agreed to moderate the discussion and operate the 
Adobe Connect room.

If you have never used Adobe, you might want to log on a couple minutes 
early.  You don't have to install any software, just click the link, log 
in as guest, Avri's approves your entry, and then you are in a space 
where documents can be shown, chat can be typed (private or to all), and 
sound can be received.  It also can be sent---usually the audio out 
works fine after you do the easy set up.  But sometimes people have 
trouble.  In this case, there are also telephone bridge dial numbers, 
below.  If your country's not listed you can always use Skype or 
equivalent to call one of them.

Staff will also generate a recording and transcript of the meeting, in 
the event anyone who can't make it would like to check it out later.

If you are able to participate, it would be sensible to have a look 
again at the candidate's statements at 
http://www.ncuc.org/governance/elections-2013/ and consider whether you 
think our replies are sufficient, is there anything further candidates 
can clarify about their views, etc etc.

I don't think that this has ever been done before, but it should work 
and be value-adding to the election.  I hope you can make it.  Details 
below.

Thanks,

Bill
