[NCUC-DISCUSS] What is "outreach"?

[farzaneh badii]

Dear NCUC members,

ICANN is preparing a meeting scheduling manual. They want to know what is
our group's definition/description of outreach. This is just a very
informal solicitation with you. You can respond by Friday and then I send a
description based on your comments.

Here is one description:
 outreach is one of NCUC's core activities through which we
provide information to noncommercial Internet users (our designated
community) about the work of NCUC and its role in domain name policy making
at ICANN. Outreach facilitates the entry of the designated community to
policymaking processes at ICANN. Outreach brings the diversity of views of
noncommercial users to NCUC and can prevent capture. Outreach raises
awareness about the existence of NCUC  and what we are working on at ICANN
and how our designated community can get involved with our activities. It
will bring more legitimacy to the process of policy development and make
our participation more effective at ICANN.


Other ideas?

Best
