[NCUC-EC] let's start

[Rafik Dammak]

Dear everyone,

first congratulation for being elected as NCUC  EC member and thanks to the
former EC members Bill and Stefania.

We have to start our work quickly and to make already some admin decisions
within this week

1- Travel allocation
we got to decide about travel allocation for:
* 3 travel slots for ICANN marrakech meeting: from the current practice,
one slot goes to NCUC chair and 2 slots are split by rotation to EC
members. So we need to get confirmation who is planning to go to the next
ICANN meeting, having or not self-funding etc to make decision.
* 6 travel slot for the Non-Contracted Party House intercessional meeting
in LA (4-5 Feb 2016)   : the NCPH meeting is a yearly-meeting where we get
to discuss with our counterpart in GNSO, the CSG, in several topics of
interest. the planning is underway and we need to get the names of those
who will get the travel slots soon. we have decide who will go there.
I would like to get this done in the next 72 hours, ICANN staff has been
waiting for a while to get the lists.

2- NCUC EC call

we should plan a NCUC EC call, hopefully, in december and make it a monthly
regular call. one suggestion would to agree on regular day/time for such
call, for example the the second or third friday of every month at 13:00UTC
for 2 hours.
however, we will still have to discuss many topics by email too. an active
participation is required

3- Planning for Marrakech

the planning for marrakech and schedule will start soon. I will send
proposal for agenda and NCUC meetings there. There is a possibility to have
a CS outreach event.

4- Appointements

we should start working to appoint and/or confirm representatives to
different groups: NCUC representatives to NCSG EC, PC, GNSO SCI etc.

We should also rejuvenate/reactivate the teams we have within NCUC like
membership team etc. Our role is to support  those groups of volunteers and
help them

5- Planning for 2016

I do think we got several areas to work on for next year such as NCUC
incorporation, bylaws update, outreach effort ( planning on CROPP
allocation),  membership management, membership engagement, policy support
etc. the list is definitely non exhaustive. it is a strategical planning
exercise for us and it will give us some roadmap for 2016 and further.

I believe that we should also think on how to share the workload, roles to
lead the different workstreams we would have and how to track progress
(some project management flavor to be added).

looking for your feedback and inputs.

Best,

Rafik
