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

[William Drake]

Hi Milton

Thanks for the input, sorry you’re shocked. As I said, we’re unlikely to be able fit all the all the people below in the room with us, and people are providing other names as well.  So I was suggesting we prioritize and invite in tranches, in which case I’d think we’d start with people who might conceivably be open to getting involved with us, which is sort of the purpose of an outreach meeting.  But I don’t care enough either way to debate it with you, so we could instead invite broadly and whoever RSVPs first and gets into the room, that’s who we have.  Send any names you like from Cato, Heritage, CP80, House Republican staff, whatever, and I’ll pass their details to ICANN for the invite blast.

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.

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.

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?

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.
