[Elsa S]

Dear all,

In follow up to Maryam's email on the specific schedule, I am sending this
email on behalf of me and my colleagues on the NCUC EC. We are approaching
#ICANN61 and #NCUC has a list of excellent activities that we suggest
everyone attends! Please see below highlights which you could also share:

Day 1 - Sat 10 March 2018

08:30 - 10:15 - NCUC work meeting - Executive Committee, Membership affairs
and E-team

((Open NCUC work meeting)) https://participate.icann.org/sju61-103a

NCUC work meetings are open to all community members. With a commitment to
openness and transparency, NCUC meetings at ICANN address the
Constituency's governance.

10:30 - 12:00 - Civil Society Organizations Roundtable: a joint outreach by
NCUC + NPOC + NCSG

https://participate.icann.org/sju61-103a

Several international digital rights organizations are NCSG, NCUC or NPOC
members. Some of

these organizations will share with the audience a bit about their work and
why they became involved in ICANN. Learn more about doing DNS policy and
understand how you and/or your organization could get involved by  applying
for institutional membership.

13:30 - 15:00 - NCUC Outreach with ICANN Fellows and Nextgen Q & A

We'll listen to fellows' interest in ICANN and answer questions they may
have. The objective of this section is for us to hear their ideas to how
they think they might engage in doing policy in a multistakeholder setting.
Let's discuss the priorities for DNS policy in North America and other
regions.

Briefing by Bruna Santos

15:15 - 16:45 - Joint outreach NCUC + At-Large

ICANN, this course is for you! The policy course is an NCUC initiative
meant to support its members in improving their writing skills and
meaningful engagement into PDPs. Even if you already have some experience
in drafting public comments, join us anyway, as there is always a room for
improvement.

​​It would be great to see you all engaging in our activities and hopefully
get the chance to exchange thoughts on the wider engagement of NCUC at
ICANN61. I would particularly be interested in NewGTLD and GDPR related
sessions which will set a tone for a lot of the upcoming years of
discussions at ICANN, so if you'd like to discuss any of those, feel free
to reach out, I'd be more than happy to make myself available.

Best,

Elsa
