thanks, Andrew, and my sympathies for your family.
All of us understand the loss of our loved ones and know how challenging this can be.
I look forward to reading the meeting summary from the meeting that you spoke at in Latin America. I had hoped to have remote participation but must have missed that?
Latin America is indeed new frontier for the BC, but we have tried, and tried, and tried to organize outreach in Latin America. I did that at a WITSA meeting; Gabi did that as e-instituto. We lack the kind of regional ICT alliance that AfiCTA provides for Africa, although, we have tried. You will note that I suggested that we reserve one slot for Panama for CROP, and IF we get a well developed proposal from within the region, we can use our leadership program two attendees from the region.
We began our outreach in Costa Rica, when I brought in the local ICT members to a social event with the Board and us. Then into the breakfast.
We have held a few other events. We met with Mexican business also when the WITSA WCIT was in Mexico and arranged for speakers from ICANN [and BC] to speak although there was no funding for my attending and speaking.
Let's not deny real opportunities for future events that might happen, depending on where ICANN meets due to other challenges. And, really, the BC has funds to provide support to the good opportunities. We don't need CROP, in fact, we funded this event as BC.
We are fortunate to have a very good bank balance, that frankly, we need to spend down and doing outreach is our best strategy, plus hiring a part time policy support staff so that we can free up and make the ExeComm more open to other roles.

Andrew, we just did an event in Latin America, and I have not seen any feedback yet from that, so hesitate to comment on how it went. ... 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.

A BC outreach during e-Nigeria is most welcome. 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.
