I think they are covered. From our informal discussions, and based on Lawrence’s update below, he is engaging with Arinola and Tola, and also Jimson and is reaching out to the Coordinator of the Nigerian IGF - Mary Uduma, to ensure that the NIGF stakeholders are aware of the event as well as Nigerian business. [One requirement of the Hubs is that they be open to all, based on space, but that can be accomplished by publicizing also with the Nigerian IGF Coordinating group. Also, as each of the remote hubs can organize a program of their own, plus participate in the IGF remotely, as a hub, or encourage small groups from their hub to follow different workshops, main sessions, etc.,the BC members attending can do a presentation about the BC,perhaps similar to the panel that we did in South Africa Outreach, explaining ICANN, the BC, and why businesses care about and engage in ICANN. That could be a special segment during one of the days of the Remote Hub, with then BC Fact Sheet available, with then informal engagement with businesses who attend. As I mentioned, I can commit to doing a “reverse” participation in the Remote Hub, if that is useful. Let me look at who is attending IGF from ICANN. Perhaps someone from ICANN can be invited to provide greetings to the Remote Hub. This is an opportunistic use of our human [BC members interest and commitment] and I believe can be useful to the BC, and to ICANN.

This is such a unique opportunity for the BC to swell its ranks through engagements at this 4 day event asides the milage in publicity that would be generated for the BC. A hub in the city of Abuja - connected to main events at such a gathering of International repute as the IGF, coupled with opportunities for networking and engagement, free access to the Internet and coffee, including an opportunity to interact directly with businesses and learn about what Government intend to do in the coming year, guarantees a huge interest in participation and offers potentials for new BC recruits. To the questions posed; 1, MicroBoss a member of the BC is the host for this hub and had from inception aligned the hub to serve the interest of business. In collaboration with other BC colleagues residing in the city of Abuja, i would be managing the hub and we would give priority to the sessions serving the interest of business and the BC. 2, A large percentage of participants at the hub would be business and entrepreneurs owing to the fact that the organised private sector in the Abuja region is being contacted to ensure active participation. As a member of a few other coalitions like the Alliance for affordable Internet and ICT4SI, members from these strategic groups would be encouraged to attend and extend invitation to their network of partners and influence. A few selected businesses have been invited to speak to various topics of interest such as the GDPR, IDN and cyber security to encourage participation. 3, The BC would maximize its influence at this fora by ensuring that every opportunity that presents itself to promote the business constituency is fully utilized. Asides signage bearing the values of the BC, fact sheets on the BC would be made available to participants asides presentations by BC members. A dedicated computer system would be made available onsite (at the registration stand) to enable ease of access to the membership application page on the BC website, while the BC secretariat would be furnished with details of interested companies that would like to be contacted by the BC or subscribed to our newsletters. I am highly optimistic that this outreach would produce great results and solicit appreciable funding by the BC. Thanks, lawrence.

I have already expressed in the past that I have my doubts about the IGF being the right venue for BC Outreach. That being said, I would ask the BC members that are going to be funded by the BC Outreach budget, please offer your feedback about this, so that we can know better for future IGF´s how to proceed regarding requests to participate in the IGF with BC Outreach budget. I assume that of the 20K a part has already been spent (is that correct?). And Steve said we need at least to leave half for the next 6 months. So, considering that, I would rather not spend more that $3000 overall for all 3 candidates. I also understood from Steve´s email that the remote hub would not be elegible. Is that correct?

We have $20K in Outreach budget, which must cover the 12 months ending Jun-2018. So, we should preserve approximately half of the budget amount for events over the remaining half of our fiscal year. That includes outreach at the next 2 ICANN meetings in San Juan and Panama. The budget line item on page 11 was “Outreach in Latin America, Africa, Asia, and others @ $5,000 plus additional outreach contingency” Note that there was no explicit budget for Europe. Since Europe is included in “all others”, there is $5,000 budgeted, of which some share could be allocated to IGF. But as I noted on the last BC call and several members agreed, this budget is only for Outreach on behalf of the BC: “In my opinion, IGF travel support should be allocated only to those BC members who are presenting at IGF, where they can advocate for businesses to join the BC.” Thanks, Steve *From: *'Tola Sogbesan <tola@chacesystems.com<mailto:tola@chacesystems.com>> *Date: *Monday, December 4, 2017 at 9:06 AM *To: *Gabriela Szlak <gabrielaszlak@gmail.com<mailto:gabrielaszlak@gmail.com>> *Cc: *Marilyn Cade <marilynscade@hotmail.com<mailto:marilynscade@hotmail.com>>, Steven DelBianco < sdelbianco@netchoice.org<mailto:sdelbianco@netchoice.org>>, BC Outreach <bc-outreach@icann.org<mailto:bc-outreach@icann.org>> *Subject: *Re: [Bc-outreach] Trying again -- possible support for IGF attendees Hi all, I appreciate Gabi’s approach. Having now being informed that $5,000 is budgeted for Europe in FY2018, I want to believe Marilyn’s proposal may just be apt. This is assuming individual requests matches or surpass allocated amount. Should request be lower than amount proposed by Marilyn, then, requested amount should take precedence. The outstanding $1,000 could as well support Lawrence. With Infrastructure challenges in Nigeria, I know this is amount is low, but I would expect partnerships would have been sought with other local stakeholders.

To your question, Marilyn, the criteria we discussed on the call were speaking at IGF and the ability to represent BC in front of audiences (including new audiences) that might be helpful to us. It seems that all 3 proposals would fit those criteria. Just to be clear to all team members on the process, until Jimson made a request to Excomm (not to OC) there was only one formal request — from Mark, representing Nivaldo’s company. Also, there wasn’t/isn’t any specific budget allocated to IGF Geneva in the Outreach Plan, and there was some active discussion about whether or not IGF was really a good opportunity for us. (The last strong opinion was from Marilyn’s email of 11/10 an excerpt of which is below, in response to the request from Mark): As someone that is very familiar with the IGF, and how it works, there is no real opportunity to recruit business, nor to engage in BC outreach during the IGF. We can consider if we want to plan toward asking for funding for something for IGF2018, depending on who the host is. So, I am a dissenting voice on this, at this point. Marilyn I have been to a number of IGFs and my sense is like Marilyn’s — that they have some value to the BC but are not worth a big investment on our part. Also we are only halfway through our FY and have to make our budget last — with work to do in the two coming Latin America ICANN meetings (and perhaps the run-up to them) as our membership is not as robust as we want in that region. Given these factors my recommendation is that allocate a budget of $2400 and split it evenly among the 3 requesters ($800 each). This seems like the best mix of what members are asking for and the overall value of this particular event to the BC as noted above.

As of the time of our call yesterday, two BC representatives (Jimson Olufuye and Mark Datysgeld) had requested support for their participation at the upcoming IGF in Geneva. Both are speaking and are in positions to promote the BC as part of their participation, criteria suggested by members on yesterday's call as recommended conditions for support. Recognizing that IGF is coming up quickly, *are there any other BC members who will be attending IGF that are in need of support in order to attend and meet the criteria*? (If so, what role will you be playing?) In the interest of time, please send back any new requests by *COB tomorrow Eastern time US*. The Outreach Committee will try to review the requests and budget and pass along recommendations to Excomm by Monday COB.
