[NCUC-EC] Possible invitees for NCUC CS outreach meeting in DC Wed. 13 January

[Milton L Mueller]

Or let me put it differently:
We should turn away completely from this Fadi-style “let’s form a selective invitation list as if this were a private cocktail party.” Let’s work up a general invitation to any CS group in Washington area and circulate it freely and publicize it on our web site.

And if you don’t, I will. ;-)

Bill.
It’s really wrong and even shocking for you to suggest dropping people from the list because you don’t like their ideology. I don’t see anyone on that list who doesn’t share some core values of NCUC regarding internet freedom.
Either we are the noncommercial stakeholders group or we are something else. If the people involved are involved in nonprofit advocacy groups and are eligible for NCUC membership they should be invited, full stop.

Hello

As we’ve discussed, there will be an NCUC civil society outreach meeting in DC the morning of Wed. 14 January, after the NCPH meeting.  Probably we’ll do 10-1pm, we’ll see.  Think it will be in some law office, the ICANN office is not available. More on that later.

Again, for the covered travelers, if you cannot get an afternoon or evening flight out on the 14th, ICANN will cover your hotel that night.  Once Constituency Travel starts to get in touch on this and you’ve worked out your itinerary, please let me and Rob Hoggarth know if you will be needing hotel for that night.

I’d like to do something similar to what we tried at the LA outreach meeting, but better—have a number of people teed up to speak 3 minutes each on some of the issues we work on, hold all Q&A until the end and then go to an integrative freewheeling discussion.  Since the folks we will be inviting are generally pretty up to speed beltway mavens, we won’t need to do a lot of what is ICANN introductory nonsense…just get to what we’re doing and then have discussion and say if you’re into knowing more or maybe even joining please be in touch.  We’ll sort this out going forward.

Below is the list of people that the ICANN DC office invited to meet with Fadi when he was in DC in January for the State of the Net Conference.  A number of these it’d be good to invite again, but some I’d drop, e.g. people from conservative think tanks and such who neither share our views nor are going to get involved with us.  I don’t know exactly how many bodies the room we’ll have can accommodate, am waiting for an answer on that from Rob and Chris, but am guessing we’d want a mix like a dozen of us and two dozen external folks?

Depending on the numbers, we may not be able to accommodate all the bodies we can name, or might have to do it in waves, i.e. invite a first tranche and if some say no then invite others.  We’ll figure it out.  What I want to know now is, are there DC public interest activists and friendly analysts you can think of who are not listed and might conceivably be interested in meeting with us to hear what we’re into etc?  If so, please send me their names, affiliations and email addresses to fold into the list, and then we’ll sort out later who’s in our first tranche etc.

Thanks

Bill
