[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC at the Africa Internet Summit session proposals

[Arsène Tungali]

Hi Liz,

Thank you for starting this.

I have been staring at this proposal and had a lot of thoughs on how we can
highlight the work we are doing at the NCUC and recruit more interests in
our work at IAS. I would love to see a proposal that will be speaking and
encouraging people (especially those non techies who might be there) to be
involved in the domain name policy and why they should join the NCUC if
they want to be engaged in the future of the Internet.

At IAS as for other AFRINIC meetings, there are participants, especially
those who are joining as part of their fellowship program who don't know
yet where to go and for whom AIS is their first Internet governance related
conference/meeting. But all of them have a desire to learn more on how they
can be part of the future of the Internet. I have been part of this
fellowship so I know that feeling.

Can we work out something, a proposal that will encourge them to join the
NCUC and start their DNS policy journey with us? At AIS, they will talk
much about numbers and not everyone who is not a techie will get that but
if they attend a civil society session where one presents them an
opportunity to be part of the DNS industry, i am sure they will find it
interesting and may decide to join our work. Who knows? We may be in a
position to recruit some interesting members there.

I am sorry i cannot help more on rephrasing or reworking this proposal but
just wanted to share this as i believe this is one of the ways we can use
this event as a true outreach opportunity and therefore, use this CROP
opportunity in a meaningfull way.

Lastly, I would encourage you to reach out to Seun (copied here) who is an
NCUC member and on the board of Afrinic who can be on your panel and
speaking about something like "Why number folks can be involved in the
names industry". He is in a good position to speak about the NCUC and what
we stand for or anything else civil society participation in ICANN (also
being heavily involved in ALAC with whom we have things in common).

Sorry for not being so much helpful here :)

Regards,
Arsene
