Thanks, and let’s discuss your proposed approach on tomorrow’s BC Member call.

Thanks Marilyn and Jimson for valuable inputs. Jimson, your piece is excellent. Marilyn, agree that we should move away from thinking of responding directly to AfNIC. Just want to make sure we do flag their issue. 2. Lawrence, I do agree that airing our internal differences on the comment is likely not the best way to go, but there we are. 3. With regard to this, I think we might make our best contribution by taking out the section on small business and dealing with this issue separately. While business size is a kind of diversity, the diversity I believe the community is most concerned with now is geographic and gender. Welcome your thoughts, but it might be better dealt with separately. 4. In terms of the where for our outreach in 2017, I feel strongly that we should do something in South Africa to coincide with ICANN (a big business market where we¹ve historically had no membership) and Latin America this year as promised, ideally targeting a larger market like Mexico, Colombia or Brazil where any BC members can find lots of potential friends they could introduce us to. The experience in India (which netted us a number of applications) and our ongoing success in Nigeria strike me as good models ‹ developing a regional hub where we can begin to develop critical mass for BC efforts. Would everyone be amenable to an Outreach Team call early next week to discuss and finalize our comments?

I did read John Berard's comments and i strongly suspect that there might be some more of such comments on various issues from our colleagues in the BC in the coming days. Where BC members strongly air their views on why the charter should not be passed, that may punch a hole in the credibility of our submission if we collectively resolve to submit this comment as one representing the views of the BC. It is my opinion that the outreach committee go ahead to post a comment aimed at creating a balance on the submission made by Afnic (without mentioning them) as it bothers around the work of the committee, whilst interested BC members or the credentials committee help draft a position to counter John's view if we so desire.

Also, my thinking is not to have an exclusive BC Outreach Comment but a general comment submitted by the BC covering all the scope of comments made now and that would come before the close of public comments on the Charter. If that is ok, then you may need to re-edit the draft you edited.

Using Jimson's comment as the base, i have tried to inculcate Andrew, Marylin and my comment into one document that still appears too bulky to pass for a final. I suggest we remove the graphs that show BC members by Numbers and percentage except they could be made clearer any other point we find unnecessary. looking forward to our comments on this.
