[NCUC-EC] let's start

[Mueller, Milton L]

I am on an airplane about to take off. So I cannot go into much detail. However I will let you know that I would like to go to Marralech, and I do not have other funding.

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
