Marilyn, I do support the program and use of BC funds to support. I know how effective these summits have been. Re the CROP slots, my sense is that given the presence of so many local BC reps (and such a strong local Nigeria team) and given the limited number of slots overall, I’m inclined to favor saving one more of the two local slots for Latin America, because we have much less presence in LAC and there are two LAC ICANNs coming this way. Also, it was unclear to me — is the team suggesting an out-of-region delegate attend? If so, again, given the strength of the local team, I think we would do better to hold this spot for LAC. I apologize for not having responded to this particular part of the conversation earlier — we had a death in our family and it has thrown my last couple of weeks upside down a bit. Happy to discuss on this list, and I do absolutely support the program.

I know you spoke remotely, so perhaps yo that was not CROP, as we had not had our Outreach Strategy posted in time. So, we have still five, if I count... I expect that Omar may request CROP to attend the WITSA meeting in India, but that is within his region. If we reserve one for Panama for Latin America/Caribbean, that would still mean that we can support the proposal, if the attendance is justified. As Tola, Ola, Lawrence, and Jimson are all local, we have a very good base of representatives to build upon, to reach other businesses, and governmental representatives from Africa. ________________________________ From: bc-outreach-bounces@icann.org<mailto:bc-outreach-bounces@icann.org> <bc-outreach-bounces@icann.org<mailto:bc-outreach-bounces@icann.org>> on behalf of amack <amack@amglobal.com<mailto:amack@amglobal.com>> Sent: Monday, October 9, 2017 10:03 PM To: Arinola Akinyemi; Lawrence OlaWale-Roberts Cc: addconsortium@digisphere.com.ng<mailto:addconsortium@digisphere.com.ng>; bc-outreach@icann.org<mailto:bc-outreach@icann.org> Subject: Re: [Bc-outreach] BC Outreach as Session Event @ AfICTA Summit 2017 Hi team, I know of the event, so no need to explain value there. Can you help me get precision on what exactly we’re asking in terms of support? I think it makes sense to see us spread our CROP support out among more than one event, but it wasn’t clear to me what the proposal is covering. Thanks, and apologies if I’ve missed it in an earlier email.

This is one of the biggest IT events in the country with robust participation from the private and public sector. Can more insight be provided around the program of the day and how the outreach itself would be structured. I would also like to know who the beneficiaries of the 1 Out of region travel support and 2 in-region travel support would be. Reason being that the outreach is just after ICANN 60 so if the persons are travel funded by ICANN to Abu Dabi it's possible to have ICANN travel extend their tickets to Nigeria while the BC cover the per Diem cost. This way we may still have the BC CROP travel slot for future use. Lawrence. On Sat, October 7, 2017 7:37 am, Arinola Akinyemi wrote:
Dear Outreach Committee Members,
The above subject matter refers.
The BC is invited to conduct an Outreach as a session event during AfICTA’s annual Summit which is scheduled to take place November 7-9 in Abuja, in conjunction with eNigeria powered by the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) under the auspices of the Ministry of Communications. This will further BC engagement with more than 30 African nation members of AfICTA towards increased awareness of the BC/ICANN mission and objectives.
Attached is the proposal for the outreach as I look forward to your positive consideration.
Kind regards,
Arinola Akinyemi (Ms)
