Dear Alan, Rafik, Rudi, Tapani:

You have probably heard me say that one of the things we want the CS
strategy to address is a problem many newcomers mention: that they are
unsure about which group is their natural home in ICANN.  We hear comments
from Fellows and NextGen participants at the end of ICANN meetings saying
they don't know whether they should be joining At-Large, NCUC or NPOC. And
it can be quite difficult to persuade an audience at a general outreach
event of the differences.

I hope we can clarify the distinctions between your different missions.

We are working on some new slides.  XPLANE can be effective at capturing
this sort of thing.

I would also like your help with some new written material.  I've collated
text from various community documents describing CS in ICANN. You can find
this attached.  Editorial has been minimal, most should be text already
agreed by the community. Perhaps in the New Year we could start refining
and simplifying this, with the goal of finalizing while together in
Marrakech.

A first version of the XPLANE graphics will be available before Marrakech,
but they can also be finalized when we meet. Could you share this document
and email with whoever in your communities you think may be interested in
helping.

Warm regards and best wishes,

Adam
