Congratulations Sandra,Jimmy and Jean Jacques. I would also like to inform that last week, during a capacity building session in wordPress for women journalists in west Africa francophone countries (Benin, Cote d'Ivoire, Niger, Togo, Sénégal and Burkina Faso) with the support of OIF(Francophonie), we had a 1 hour exchange on ICANN activities. It was really insteresting, We talked about the new gTLD program and IANA transition issues. It was their(the most) first time to hear about ICANN. http://www.rtb.bf/infos/medias/article/la-fondation-femme-tic-et - http://news.abidjan.net/h/517624.html The most interesting thing is that they have promised to share what they learned and this is wonderfull because they are journalists. Kind regards 2014-12-10 10:01 GMT+00:00 sandra hoferichter <info@hoferichter.eu>:
Dear all,
I would just like to inform you that Jimmy Schulz and I did attend an outreach meeting yesterday (9.12.) discussing the IANA transition with the German community. (see here the agenda in German:
https://numbers.eco.de/2014/allgemein/eco-zukunftsdialog-ii-neuausrichtung-d er-internetverwaltung.html ) The event was very well attended and the discussion lively. If not already the case I would encourage to organise such events in other regions as well and also recommend At-Large members to participate. From ICANN Jean Jacques (VP Europe) participated.
Unfortunately the announcement was not spread on any At-Large lists in advance, I could imagine there would have been a greater interest from the At-Large Community. I found out about this event on a short notice only. We should better cooperate here.
Best Sandra
