Briefings in DC don't just happen.... to be effective a lot of prep needs to happen. For instance, IMHO, lot of advance planning and identification of members, key staffers and think tanks in DC need to be done. I believe that's something that can be done now in advance of a proposal being finalized. what do others think? Robert On 2014-11-23 12:24 PM, Allan MacGillivray wrote:
I agree with Avri as well. We should not do anything until there was a proposal that had been accepted by the community. My point was that it would be more appropriate for the multistakeholder community, as opposed to ICANN, to brief Congressional staffers.

Agree with Avri. Once we have an agreed approach to the solution we can brief Washington DC people.
Before that, we could actually be exacerbating the perception of some in DC that NTIA’s exit leads to uncertainty and risk.

Robert - I agree that we have to pay very close attention to what is going on in DC. We should consider briefing Congressional staffers ourselves to supplement what ICANN may be saying.
Wouldn't this be something to do once we had a solution we could argue was a community wide consensus decision.
As far as I can tell we are not there yet, and perhaps not even close.
