Thanks all for your interest in ensuring the proposal for this outreach
aligns with the mandate of the BC.

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.

Should we ask Lawrence if his hub would cover all 3 points? I understand

point 1 is covered. Not sure about 2 and 3 which are related.

Gabi – being creative, I might imagine that a “remote hub” could be a BC

Outreach event – if:

1. BC member(s) were among the leaders and hosts;

2. Businesses were prominent among the hub attendees; and

3. BC members made a direct appeal to join the ICANN BC, collected

contact info, and made follow-ups.

How’s that sound to members of Outreach Committee?

Thanks everyone.

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?

Thanks,

Gabi

Thanks for weighing in Steve. FYI, what was in the mind of the Finance

Committee per 'others'  in the Budget breakdown was Eastern Europe noting

that Africa, Asia and Latin America  were already covered.

This recommendation is now in the hands of our ad-hoc outreach committee,

but let me (on ExCom) remind you of the budget we approved (attached).

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

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.

Cheers,

TS

Jimson/Andy/Marilyn

As far as I understand, the criteria for support has been met by all 3

candidates and now the only question to solve would be how much to

allocate for each candidate.

So, the two options on the table are:

- $2400 (800 each) - proposed by Andy

-$4000: (1500 for Mark and Jimson - each-  and 1000 for Marilyn):

proposed by Marilyn as a counter proposal

I believe the only way to have  a criteria on how much to allocate for

each would be:

1. - the request the candidates make -  which can serve as a maximum

2. - BC budget that we have available until the end of FY

Can someone clarify point 2 please?

Thanks a lot,

Gabi

I propose an allocation of $1500 each to Mark  and Jimson [ Mark will

need to advance engagement in not just Gigabit on Day Zero, and I can help

to get him involved in other workshops, or act as a rapporteur for the NRI

session, if he can agree.Gigabit is not really affiliated in any way

with the BC, but we can use this as a sort of "starter" engagement on Day

Zero,

and then look for other sessions that Mark can attend and support, either

as a rapporteur, or as a participant from the floor, with his agreement.[

$1500 for Jimson, as he is speaking in a number of relevant workshops

$1,000 for Marilyn - list of events submitted

I have described various events I am speaking at and opportunities to

promote the BC visibility.

Team,

Was almost totally offline yesterday so just catching up.  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.

Cheers, Andrew

Thanks for the opportunity to request funding.

What is the criteria?

I haven't seen the email with the criteria, so I will just take a stab at

justification for asking for $1,000 funding to attend.

Request from Marilyn Cade

Engagement at IGF2017 --

-participant in planning the agendas of the two ICANN sessions and

participant in both

-co organizer of Day Zero Event focused on Social and economic

opportunities for women, where the BC fact sheet will be distributed, and

engagement of the BC described as relevant to engagement of women /in

business from the CASA region

-keynote speaker at a formal event with Afghanistan, Pakisan, Tunisian

delegations [85% governmental attendees]- engagement in ICANN is one of

the key points in the briefing about IG and ICANN's role is key to this

presentation/BC Fact Sheet distribution

-speaker at ICANNWiki booth [proposed to include other BC members

attending]

-key contributor at the NRI shared booth, where we can put BC Fact Sheets

-offer to  provide a brief review of the IGF Village booths, along with

other funded BC travelers, to determine whether BC should host a booth at

IGF2018

-speaker at at least one of the NRI collaborative sessions about models

for multi stakeholder engagement -- using BC and ICANN as example: Fake

News/Misinformation/Disinformation.

Requested Funding: $1,000.

Again, I apologize, but did not see any criteria document/or the

deadline, so am doing the best I can on responding with a request for

funding.

All,

Following up on yesterday's call as it appears my earlier email went to

an earlier BC Private list that has been deactivated (sorry about that).

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.

Thanks,

Andrew
