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

Dear Liz,


Thanks for taking the initiative and preparing a draft proposal. It is truly important to represent NCUC at events like AIS in order to raise awareness and let others know what we do. I hope others who feel this is important will join in supporting or commenting while we still have a bit of time before the deadline.


Best,
Olga Kyryliuk

Dear NCUC Members,


NCUC Africa is preparing proposals for the Africa Internet Summit. Here is a draft for one. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-c6tsMtWCxBDHtbFL9OsGy6Uuz1rzpx2qpgARR4SQbg/edit




Deadline for submission is 9th March, lets try input/comment directly to the doc within the week.


Lastly, if you're planning to attend the AIS and would be interested to participate as a speaker, please let me know.


Thanks.
