>> Hi Rafik，Hi Teammates，
>>
>> Great to have us gathering on the new EC.
>> It is really my honor to work with you in the coming new year under the
>> leadership of Rafik. Thanks to Rafik for making us start so quickly.
>>
>> 1. I would like to attend the NCPH meeting held on 4-5 Febrary, 2016.
>> My question is whether the date is set or not. Is it possible for us to
>> make it earlier?
>>
>>
> yes it is definite dates, not the most convenient but no way to change

> travel allocation discussion for it.
> I will share the initial plan later on since we need to discuss about some
> topics we would like to suggest for the meeting. it will be the first
> opportunity for the new EC to have F2F meeting.

>> 2. For the Marrakech meeting,  I also plan to attend. I am not sure
>> whether I will obtain any funding from my employer, anyway I will try to
>> secure some funding.
>>
>
> thanks, please do so.  we get Joao and Milton for the 2 slots.

>>
>> 3. I agree very much with Rafik's idea of having a regular EC call each
>> month, which would offer us the opportunity to discuss items of running the
>> whole constituency. For the time of calls, I am available on Monday till
>> Thursday between 12:00 UTC to 14: 00 UTC and on Friday after 14:00 UTC.
>>

> good, I see a lot of support for Friday , after getting confirmation from
> the rest of EC we can go with that date/time.

>>
>> 4. For NCUC appointments, I would like to refer you guys to the
>> Documentation (though therea are some vacancies)that I finished couple of
>> weeks ago, which would help NCUC members understand the diversity of
>> representatives NCUC appoints to other groups and organizations within
>> ICANN and help us EC members make decisions with the incumbents and members
>> who are interested in the roles.
>>
>> 5. For the MAT that was previously led by Walid, there is clearly the
>> NCUC Member Engagement Survey which has encompassed the problems members
>> are confronted with. We have to dig into the survery and summarize those
>> problems. There are points based on which we could start our work, for
>> example, helping new members get involved as quickly as possible.
>>
>> regarding MAT, we will have some discussion there. I understand that Joao
> has some interest to lead it, hopefully he can clarify what is his plan.
>  survey is just one input like another so we shouldn't limit ourselves,
> there are additional ways to get more feedback.  the challenge for the MAT
> is to propose action-oriented plan with concrete proposals that can be
> executed
>
>
> 6. For the coming 2016, hope we could get those big items done. Propose we
>> start from the NCUC bylaws rewriting. Hopfully, we can produce a draft
>> proposal that includes the bullet points we want to change in order to be
>> in line with the NCSG Charter.

>> Above is my rough response.

>>
>> 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,
