Dear Council colleagues, An initiative is underway to support the local community in Puerto Rico through donations of laptops. I only had a brief chat with Glenn McKnight about this, but what little I heard sounded promising, particularly in light of the recent circumstances in Puerto Rico. Is this something that we as the GNSO Council would like to pursue further? Or perhaps within SGs/Cs? Please give your thoughts so we can determine next steps, if any. Best wishes, Heather ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Glenn McKnight <mcknight.glenn@gmail.com> Date: Mon, Nov 6, 2017 at 12:42 PM Subject: GNSO and Adopt a School -donate a used laptop To: haforrestesq@gmail.com, Pablo Rodriguez <pablo@nic.pr>, Alfredo Calderon <calderon.alfredo@gmail.com> Hi Heather As per our short conversation at ICANN 60 I mentioned that we working requesting that ICANN participants consider bringing a used laptop or phone to San Juan in March. The host organization .PR and ISOC PR are working on the logistics for selecting the schools and distribution of the laptops We are asking folks to remove all their data, reformat the system. Our volunteers will install Linux and other Open Source software We spoke with Goran and Nick Tomasso on ICANN support and involvement and perhaps they can coordinate with their communication team supportive information. We expect an information page in spanish and English soon. Please let your community know about the initiative Thanks Glenn McKnight NARALO Secretariat mcknight.glenn@gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight 289-830 6259 <(289)%20830-6259> . <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_camp...> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_camp...> <#m_-6723455310097539681_DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
