[NCUC-EC] Draft Constituency Day Schedule

[William Drake]

Hi

CD will be pretty densely packed if we're going to take advantage of the location to discuss African perspectives, meet ATRT, and also talk to GAC leadership, which is important to do in light of the wider new gTLD agenda and as preparation for Buenos Aires (we're negotiating a full formal NCUC/ GAC meeting, in their big room).  This means the organizational bit will have to be really squeezed—a demo of the website for 15-20 (obviously, the content for many pages is going to have to be filled in later, and we can solicit participation in drafting these), and then quick review and call for participation in initiatives that will basically have to be elaborated online.  Anyone who regards org matters as boring admin should appreciate this concise approach, but of course it does mean a bit more off site consultation is needed at the front end of any effort before it gets started.

Constructive comments welcome.  In particular, anything more that needs to be mentioned in 2c?

Thanks,

Bill
