Thanks for the reminder, Benjamin. 

My understanding is that we requested from you a completed template. Once you forward that I feel sure we can each provide the information required.

Dear ECs,

Good day and I hope your week is going well.

I like to send a gentle reminder for the ICANN78 strategic engagement plan by intending ICANN-funded travelers.

Please do well to submit your plan, it was due last  Friday.

Kind regards,

Benjamin

Hi  all,

   Firstly, it is unfair to suddenly emphasize on the plan when for the first 2 meetings in the year this was not followed at all.

It is awesome that you have raised the "unfair" term again.I do not think it is fair to  have EC who attend meetings without plans and strategies to enhance the outreach and active participation of NCUC at the meeting.

Nevertheless, it’s a good start to follow the rules .  I do second Ken that it is indeed a very short time to put a plan together which is well thought out. @Benjamin as you will be a funded traveller too I believe you also need to fulfill the requirement of submitting a similar plan

As the chair I do not have a choice if you have been observing and following the meetings you would have seen that it is my role to make sure the agenda is set, to attend various leadership meetings. In the past two meetings I have been funded by Article 19 and I had to have detailed plans and reports to be at those meetings,  Since I have chosen to make this a personal attack on me as I decided to perform my duty as the EC chair. I will come out and address some of your shortcomings... First as an EC you were nowhere to be found during ICANN77 - despite the fact that there was a significant participation from the APAC region there was no EC member from the region to engage the attendees even virtually.Secondly, during the APAC space meeting you were also not seen. I remembered that you  

and yours will be immensely helpful for us to use as a template and also feel inspired. Afterall I would imagine as Chair, your should have the wider vision and we can then breakdown the broader vision into actionable steps in ours 

You campaigned and got voted for the position, I did not recruit you for the position, if you are unsure of what to do , there are other attendees from the region who have been interested in supporting the community and participating in our face to face meetings. So I will encourage you to review the NCUC mandate and your candidate statement during the election to fulfill your commitment to the constituency.

Secondly, I do not agree that a plan can be a basis for selecting who gets the travel slots in the future. The plan sure can be a requirement for selected funded travellers to submit but not a basis for selection. I emphasized on laying down policies and criteria’s for selection early this year which was completely disregarded and same for the rotating roster Olga made. In the next monthly meeting we should put it in place for next year already.

You are free to disagree, but travel slots are not automatic, it is based on the plans each ECs have, if ECs will not show up and participate actively - we will give the slots to community members who are engaging. At ICANN77 - community members asked repeatedly to see ECs, Only Ken showed up as NCUC members at various meetings outside the 2 NCUC meetings, How do we keep our influence if our elected leaders are not up and about interacting at the various meetings to hold up our flags both virtual and face to face. I agree that we should pull up the roster that Olga did and abide by it (In Fact that is what we should do). The only reason I had made the recommendation I made was trying to accomodate you since you could not make DC an otherwise rightful person for ICNN78 EC Slot is Olga because she has not attended the last two meetings. I also hold myself accountable to have skewed the travel slot rotation by always taking external travel funding. I think it will be a good idea to stop it or refuse ECs from getting my slot once I get an external funding so we can maintain the roster.

And lastly, for the LAC EC selection of we were to try to fill in that seat, we must come up with stronger process of selection than just someone willing to become on. Even it that means having a simple poll on the mailing list or a candidate call or so. But that is something we can tackle after icann Hamburg.

Finally, I know how many meetings or engagement that have been disregarded because you (Mili) said you are not available. Should we check the EC meeting attendance to review each person's attendance rate? All of these issues you are bringing up, were on the agenda of the cancelled meeting proceeding ICANN77. Can we review why that meeting did not hold and what happened to items on the agenda.We need not wait for ICANN78 to straighten up everything since we are all engaging on this list now.

If this is the way we want to keep going back and forth with each other, fair enough This is distracting and exhausting.

Kindly submit your membership engagement strategy and plan for ICANN78 as requested, even if it is a draft/ .

Regards,

Benjamin

Hello all, 

Thank you, Benjamin. I will submit the names as you requested.

As a reminder, before Olga can apply for the CROP slot for ICANN78, the NCUC FY24 Outreach Strategic Plan needs to be completed and approved: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OVDefXv9YmPlW6j7R7yiDzu3h4rf-sLqdMp2qrXUxJs/edit.

Dear Andrea and Ken, 

Thank you for the responses, these offer some relief. I believe the ability to act proactively rests on every one of us. As we might have noticed our active participation only increases during travel slots conversation.

We ought to have met multiple times before today, I recommended and called for a meeting without anyone agreeing to meet.

We will go ahead with the names as indicated however all intended supported funded travelers (both CROP and ICANN funded) would have to develop their plan to support active participation and reporting to the community during and after ICANN78.

Ken, you can also share the schedule based on the state of various ECs' travels and the future understanding that LAC EC will join the group soon.

I will appreciate it if we can share our draft plans before COB, on June 23, 2023.

This is the duty we owe the community.

Dear Andrea - I believe we can proceed with Benjamin, Mili, and Ken, while we put Olga's name for CROP.

Kind regards,

Benjamin

Dear Benjamin.

Good idea to call for a plan from the EC members attending meetings. I notice this is the first meeting that this requirement is being acted upon; better late than never, I suppose. 

I will be happy to provide one, but the decision on participation needs to be made shortly and I, for one, won’t have any time to prepare one between now and tomorrow’s deadline to provide Org with names. What would help is a template to use, and if you can share your own plan it would help in many ways, both as a template as well as to align whatever we can do to support your efforts.

Nevertheless, I feel confident, as I hope you do as well, that all the EC members attending ICANN78 will follow-through on our obligations for following issues and working to enhance engagement. Since it seems that the CROP issue for Olga has been resolved, there should be no issues with submitting names for ICANN travelers (Mili and I) and CROP for Olga.

Finally, I agree with Olga that we can do more to be proactive, including creating a schedule for participation in future ICANN meetings that cover engagement and policy commitments. Olga prepared a travel proposal in the past and we can easily do one going forward that can be used as a reference, even if there is a possibility of names changing. Preparing a schedule for the next year also allows EC members to plan their own schedules accordingly.

Dear ECs,

I will encourage every EC to submit a concise proposal for ICANN78, the plan to improve NCUC outreach & engagement, and the policy topics you hope to follow.

This has become pertinent based on the way our travel slots have been executed and the limited participation we have seen in ICANN77 NCUC membership meeting.

Please the CROP GSE will require our strategy of constituency engagement.

I will encourage ECs to articulate their role at ICANN78 and we also use it to determine those who will represent the NCUC.

Kind regards,

Benjamin

Hi Andrea 

   Some more clarifications needed:

1. Why are there 2 crop slots for EU? Usually I remember only 1 slot. Only asking if something has changed about the crop programme or is this something specific to EU.

2. Can we get a days extension to submit the EC names as clearly we need more information to make this decision and that’s completely  time zone related and not in our control. 

3. The EU region does include Eastern Europe too as far as the GSE team and its reach go and also the official ICANN regions. I am aware that there are sub divisions in the main 5 regions made sometimes for ease of covering them (APAC for eg is divided into north asia, South Asia, pacific etx.) but I for CROP it applies to the whole region. 

Cuz if east Europe is not under EU for CROP then which regional CROP funding would members in Eastern Europe be eligible for?

Andrea, just to clarify, my attendance at ICANN77 was self-funded. According to the NCUC bylaws, ICANN funded participants are ineligible for ICANN travel funding to consecutive meetings. If there are other ICANN rules that govern travel to consecutive meetings, then please let me know, otherwise I believe that self-funded travelers should not be disqualified for demonstrating commitment by paying their own way from time to time. 

Grateful if you can confirm that I remain eligible for ICANN funded travel to ICANN78.

Thank you.

Hello again, 

I have been doing some checking on my end to see if Olga qualifies for the CROP slot for ICANN78. Technically, the applicant needs to be from the European region as listed in the GSE list of regions here:  <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/drive.google.com/file/d/14seX2l_Gq5rE97gbr38i1EuUbKRZ5GHl/view__;!!PtGJab4!9spitMrCo-0ClzzMdsD5LAad6Qw5REMK2pvNFhdbgmoxvXHPocH3uDWTU1jx_Sc6od-WgheDFKnOzZgnfrSmFA$> https://drive.google.com/file/d/14seX2l_Gq5rE97gbr38i1EuUbKRZ5GHl/view [drive.google.com]. I ran this by my manager and 23 feel that she may not qualify because on this list since she is in the Eastern Europe/Central Asia region. My colleague who is in charge of this program is on vacation right now, but I will confirm this with him when he returns. I know that sometimes Olga is in Poland, so my first question is  <mailto:olga_kyryliuk at ukr.net> @Olga Kyryliuk where will you be traveling from to ICANN78 and back to after ICANN78? We do have some time to update the travel slots that are being sent in tomorrow and to apply for CROP. At this point, if it were me, I would give the travel slots to those who are eligible to travel to ICANN78 (I think it would be Mili & Olga since neither went to Washington D.C.) I can continue to get information about CROP and if Olga is eligible, we can change the names around to get another EC member to Germany. Another thing to keep in mind, 2 CROP slots can be used for ICANN78 so a another member who resides in Europe could go as well.

Thanks!

Kind Regards,

Andrea

Hi

  Benji's suggestion to use CROP makes sense but Olgas question are valid too.

 <mailto:andrea.glandon at icann.org> @Andrea Glandon cqn we then confirm these things:

1. What is the deadline to submit the names for the EC funded travellers?

2. What is the deadline to submit the CROP funded name?

Atleast then we know how much time we have to make these decisions and maybe we can use whatsapp group or zoom call to work it out sooner than later.

Dear Olga, 

Thank you for your response and I appreciate your question.

As I said the only reason behind the suggestion was because of proximity perspective. 

I agree that this trip is supposed to be officially yours. I believe we need to revert to the roster to reset the rosters for the official NCUC EC slots - so we do not have back and forth at every meeting.

There is a need to also get people to the meeting to work on policies.- our community is demanding more individuals in the meeting supporting our PDPs.

We can have a quick Zoom call to agree on who to enlist for ICANN78 officially and tasks involved as required by the bylaws.

Kind regards,

Benjamin

Hi Ben and All! 

First of all, before we make a decision let’s clarify a couple of issues.

What is the deadline to apply for CROP? Is application round still open for Hamburg meeting?

If we decide to move ahead with me getting CROP funding, and not the EC funding slot, can you confirm that CROP slot will be mine or you will still make open call and say afterwards that you’d prefer a community member to use it? Because if this is a case I don’t think it’s fair, I haven’t been using travel slot for the last two meetings, with all rotation logic now is my turn. However, if we agree that I use CROP then I’m happy that we can secure two other EC members to attend.

Best,

Olga

The reason I recommended Olga for the CROP funding is that she may be close to Hamburg and we may be able to easily supplement her travels but if that is not the case. 

All ECs planning to attend Hamburg may have to share their proposed activities at the meeting and we used that to select those who qualify for ICANN funding and the person suitable for CROP funding.

This is also a good time to review the travel schedule so that we don't have to consistently be undecided about who is entitled to the travel slots.

We have very limited time to decide on the official travel slots.

Kind regards,

Benjamin

Benjamin, I have no objection to your proposal.

However, my understanding is that CROP is only very limited funding and not for the full time of the Annual Meeting. Perhaps there is some way that we can identify additional funding so that Olga can participate fully.

Also, I suggest that we all work together to organize any additional events at the meeting. Along those lines, first we should clarify room selection, since that appeared to be an issue that was raised at the NCUC/NPOC meeting last week.

Thanks

Ken

Dear EC,

In order to move this conversation forward, we need to enlist those who qualify to travel to the next meeting.

We have three slots available for the EC including the chairs.

And we have 4 ECs interested.

Here is my recommendation - we have one of the ECs use the CROP funding and have the other three ECs use the official slots.

Olga since you are in Europe - we have you take the CROP fy24 and work with Adam Peake to organize a side event for  NCUC  at ICANN 78.

Mili and Ken can take the official NCUC EC slots.

I like to know what you think of this suggestion.

Kind regards,

Benjamin

Hi Team,

I believe it is also my turn for travel slot as I couldn’t attend previous two meetings. Given it is my region and my last meeting as EC rep I would definitely be interested to go.

I hope the Washington meeting was productive and brought the desired results. Looking forward to your updates.

Best,

Olga
