[NCUC-EC] [time sentitive] NCUC ABRs

Sat Jan 12 22:51:48 CET 2019

Hi all,

I've started to jot down some ideas for our ABRs. Up to this point, I've
managed to assemble a short list of what we might consider and develop as
proposals -- taking into account FY18 and FY19 successful requests. It
includes the continuation of the Policy Writing Course (2nd round),
Communication materials, Logistics support (for outreach -- food for joint
ALAC-NCUC outreach for example), and other points.

With regards to the "resubmission" of requests, I think our main challenge
is how to address the metrics adequately and justify the (i) impact and
(ii) outcome of the initiatives in FY19. This would also be a good
opportunity for us to engage members in different regions to help us
translate and circulate -- key for any kind of CS outreach/inreach we might
consider in the near future.

In terms of communication support, we might consider issuing some new
privacy stickers, flyers, and even doing a short version of the onboarding
materials -- share it in our networks and communicate with wider CS on what
are our principles and how we engage within the ICANN ecosystem.

Finally, I strongly support the inclusion for additional funding for global
IG events. The only thing we need to take care is how to properly justify
this, and that might entail (i) explaining how we have engaged globally
thus far, (ii) what is the demand (in this case one of the arguments is
that CROP does not cover the "global" strategic events, such as the IGF or
major conferences such as RightsCon, CPDP, Internet and Jurisdiction
etc..); and (iii) how we are using the resources we have to meet this
opportunity and why the ABR would be THE option for us to take NCUC
experience in policymaking and global civil society engagement further.

Again, this is just a simple/preliminary list that we could develop. Please
feel free to chime in, add some ideas, and start working on it.
I'll stop to work a bit more on this tomorrow. :)
