Personally, politics aside, I’d prefer to steer clear of anyone who has his minions produce a self-important Wikipedia entry.

I’ve received several concrete suggestions of names but could use more, with affiliations and email addresses please. After we get our travel details sorted and over the holiday hump I’ll send back a proposed invite list and letter that staff can blast out like ten days before the meeting.

In terms of content, again I’d suggest skipping the what is ICANN org chart thing and go straight to the distributed presentation of 3 minute issue intros connecting our issues with stuff folks there might care about, followed by open conversation.  A priori I’d expect a more focused and substantive discussion than what we managed in London and LA if we manage to herd in a bunch of beltway policy wonks.

What do you folks think we should cover, and who’d be interested in taking which piece?  Would this be a good starting point?  Topics to add?  In total I don’t think we should talk ‘at’ them for more than 30 minutes if that before going to discussion, if we got even a third of the names on last year’s Fadi list I suspect we’d have robust engagement from visitors...

IANA (Avri?)
Accountability (Matt?)
Human rights generally (Marilia?)
Privacy (Stephanie?)
FoE & 'Internet freedom’ as locals call it (Walid?)
Access to knowledge/IPR/trademark (Kathy?)
Development (Rafik?)
IG generally, NMI, etc (Bill?)

Matt, any news on whether CDT’s office would be available like 10am - noon on Wed. 14th?  What staff have lined up for us now is a room at Wiley Rein that sits about 20-24 people, so a) we’d definitely need to cull the invite list and b) this would be in a rather odd environment for a CS meeting….

Happy holidays, as applicable.

Bill

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.
