Dear All: With respect to any funding related to the IGF, none of that has any connection with At-Large in ICANN - it is all done outside of At-Large. If you haven't already done so I highly recommend you speak to Theresa or Paul, as previously mentioned on several occasions...

I do have a report on IGF. Adam helps a lot in keeping us posted. The MAG will soon discuss the main sessions (i.e. between all the workshop organizers who have offered to merge their sessions and form a main session workshop) in a week or so. The workshops organizers offering to merge for the main session workshop "Reaching the next Billion - Multilingualism" are: 1. An Asian Prospective on Internationalization -- Chinese Domain Name Users Alliance (i.e. APRALO) 2. Internationalized Domain Names: Myths and Opportunities -- ICANN 3. Multilingualization and Internazionalization of Internet -- ITU 4. Steps toward an Internet that is multilingual, yet remains global -- ISOC So, what could read from the messages we received so far is that: a) our proposal for the workshop is absolutely accepted by the IGF; and, b) we will soon know if we are moving to the main session. I haven't got the chance to talk with the ICANN CEO though. If all the colleagues believe that I should email or call him regarding the funding issue on APRALO workshop at IGF, I shall, of course, do so. But should our Chair or Budget Committee brief me the budget proposal first? Best wishes Hong On Tue, Jul 22, 2008 at 6:13 PM, Pavan Budhrani <pavan@registry.asia> wrote:
Dear Hong,
We just finished our monthly conference call and there was one item on the agenda that had something to do with you. We wanted to know the latest on our IGF proposal, who were we going to merge with and did you by any chance have a chat with Paul about this. Let me know so I can send an email to the entire list about the latest developments. Thanks.
