> Sometimes I am rather slow to think of things….
>
> The Non-Commercial Domain Names Holders Constituency (which later became
> NCUC) and other GNSO constituencies were officially recognized by the ICANN
> Board on Monday 18 October 1999
> https://features.icann.org/1999-10-18-domain-name-supporting-organization.
> We did nothing last year to celebrate our 15th anniversary, which shows
> some resilience as Internet-oriented civil society networks go.  But if
> there’s sufficient interest, we could make up for it by doing something for
> our 16th.  After all we’ll be in Dublin, hardly a bad place for libation
> and such.   18 October 2015 is Sunday night, and as far as I know thus far
> there’s nothing major scheduled that would prevent us from doing
> something.  Or we could it after Constituency Day, on Tuesday 20th,
> assuming there’s no music night.  This might be more sensible as we’ll have
> just spent the day together etc.
>
> 3 possible scenarios requiring ascending levels of effort:
>
> 1.  We assemble all members who will be in attendance and reserve a room
> in a good pub or restaurant.  If the EC approves, we could put the bill on
> NCUC’s tab.
>
> 2.  We assemble all members who will be in attendance plus some invited
> co-conspirators, in which case it might make sense to ask for space at the
> conference site.
>
> 3.  We hold an open to all party.
>
> For 2 or 3 we probably would need to seek outside funding, e.g. from ICANN
> and past supporters, e.g. PIR, CGI.br, etc.
>
> If we wanted we could have some vets make welcoming remarks, make it
> amusing. Hire an Irish singer with a guitar. Decorate the place with Milton
> masks and ask Alex Pisanty to keynote (kidding)…whatever.
>
> Does this have any appeal to anyone?  If so we could create an organizing
> team.  If not, ok no worries, just a thought…
