[Ncuc-eur] Update from you NCUC EC Representative

[farzaneh badii]

Hello NCUC European Members,


Here is another update from your NCUC Executive Coordinator representative.


*Policy related*


We drafted a public comment which was approved at NCSG level for fellowship
program.

At NCSG level there are other public comments being drafted by Matt Shears
(our policy committee member) and others.

We have to draft more public comments, there is a drafting group at NCSG
level. If you are interested in helping draft public comments, do let me
know. Here is a list of public comments that are due.

You can find them here https://www.icann.org/public-comments#open-public

*IGF*

Both of our workshops got accepted to be held at IGF in Mexico.

Below are the titles and link to the description

The power of the noncommercial users on the Internet
<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf2016/index.php/proposal/view_public/91>

Reality of the Answerability of multistakeholder model
<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf2016/index.php/proposal/view_public/86>

As you already know, NCUC will receive  two travel support slots for IGF to
be held in Mexico . We discussed this during our EC call last week. The
travel slots will go to people who had a role in organising the workshop.
We still don’t have a clear process on how we allocate the travel slots to
people. Normally these will go to people who organise and speak at. For the
future, we have to organize the workshops in a more collaborative way, this
year it was too late.  ( I am not going to receive a travel slot to travel
to IGF, I will update you on the decision about who will get them).

I invite you to make substantive suggestions to the workshops, especially
the power of noncommercial stakeholder groups. Let us know your successes,
what you have been able to change at ICANN or other Internet governance
organisations and fora.


*Outreach*

For this year we have received two CROPP slots (remember the travel funds
to do outreach for NCUC)  and funding to organise an event. One CROPP is
gone to Aarti to do outreach for NCUC at APrIGF, the other is available
 and we will make a call for proposals soon.

We have to come up with a plan for the event we want to hold. where, when,
what to discuss, who to invite. So if you have ideas, let me know.


*Civil Society day before IGF*

 I am the NCSG representative for organizing civil society day before IGF.
We are in the program committee. We will probably issue a call for
proposals for sessions and talks on civil society day. If topics and ideas
come to your mind regarding the format of the sessions, issues to talk
about etc. let me know.

I asked EC if they could support the meeting financially and they agreed.
We will support for 1000 USD.

*Travelling to Hyderabad*

We are going to announce travel support application for Hyderabad very
soon.


*Want to get engaged more? *

If you want to get engaged more with NCUC work at ICANN and join various
working groups, do let me know. I will be happy to help and put you in
touch with people who can give you information.



I look forward to your feedbacks.


Your NCUC EC Representative
