We may to keep in mind that we probably need to put an expanded list of events in the strategic outreach plan in the future.
Absolutely agreed.
Financial Years run from 1st July to 30th June. Thus from next July we need a new list to be ready. The text in green below shows some starting points.
Currently, we have for FY19: (copied from our plan)
ICANN63 in Barcelona (20-25 October 2018): we have organised a three hour joint outreach event in the Non Commercial Stakeholders Group (NCSG) which included in depth discussion and debate about many of ICANN’s current policy topics.
Internet Governance Week Brussels (2018 edition was on : https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/blogposts/internet-governance-week-brussels-22-26-january-2018 We do not yet know the exact dates for the 2019 edition, but it is fair to say that this is likely to be equally as interesting and significant as the 2018 edition. At present, with decreasing CROP slots, it looks unlikely that we would have a CROP slot for this event.
Eastern European DNS Forum - https://www.eednsforum.org/en/ December 2018, Moscow, Russia. At present, with decreasing CROP slots, it looks unlikely that we would have a CROP slot for this event.
CDPD - Computers, Privacy and Data Protection - http://www.cpdpconferences.org/ Next year to take place in Brussels, 30 January 2019 – 1 February 2019. We need to check with our Regional VP if this would be an ICANN supported meeting that fits the criterion for CROP. However, At present, with decreasing CROP slots, it looks unlikely that we would have a CROP slot for this event. Update: We are co-organizing a panel on Feb. 1, together with GSE: “Ensuring domain name data is safe: the WHOIS experience of balancing cybersecurity and privacy needs in the era of GDPR and major evolution of privacy legislation around the world”. https://www.cpdpconferences.org/panels/friday-1-february-grid
EuroSSIG 2019 – http://www.eurossig.eu – EURALO has never asked CROP for this and is not planning to ask for CROP, as we are using this opportunity to perform outreach, funded from another source. Outreach at the Summer School has been very successful. In 2018 yet again we have managed to reach out to all 30 fellows, many of whom are joining EURALO now.
re:publica – 6-8 May 2019 https://re-publica.de/en/about-republica - EURALO might ask for CROP slots for this. Since the report from Matthias Hudobnik (CROP funded attendee for re:publica 2018) was so positively conclusive, we are in discussions with ICANN Regional VP for Outreach, to see if we would be able to do more than having just a CROP attendee. Possibilities are that we could have a booth at re:publica, or even host or speak at a session. Early preparation of EURALO Leadership & European Regional VP is needed. Outreach Activity Funding (see below) could be used for this rather than CROP.
EuroDIG 2019 – 18-20 June 2019 http://www.eurodig.org – EURALO is likely to ask for a limited number of CROP slots for this. EuroDIG 2019 will take place in The Hague, Netherlands. We have several ALSes in the region that are likely to attend even without funding as they are just a train ride away. We will consider limiting CROP slots to the same or less than FY18. (2 max, 1 preferred)
SEEDIG 2019 – http://www.seedig.net/ , 7-8 May 2019, Bucharest – thus we could use CROP slots. We have not specially targeted SEEDIG in previous years and might, therefore, consider allocating 1 CROP slot to this.
RightsCon –https://www.rightscon.org/ in North Africa this year (Tunis, Tunisia), thus no possibility to send anyone, but we’ll monitor future RightsCon conferences that will take place in Europe.
FIC , Lille, 22-23. Jan., https://www.forum-fic.com/accueil.htm
CyCon, Tallinn Estonia - https://ccdcoe.org/cycon/content/cycon-2019-theme-silent-battle-cyber-space.html (in the context of security and fake news)
GLOBSEC Bratislava Forum, Bratislava Slovakia, 6-8 June, https://www.globsec.org/projects/globsec-2019/
Cyberweek, Tel Aviv, Israel, 23-27 June, https://cyberweek.tau.ac.il/2019/
2nd Cybernorms Conference by the Hague Programme on Cybernorms - the event is focused on cybersecurity and in 2018 the MS approach was a welcome divergence from the expected course of debates. While the conference organizers offer scholarships to paper authors, we might consider ensuring ICANN/EURALO is represented at this venue.
Association of Internet Researchers Annual Conference (AoIR) - https://aoir.org/aoir2019/ in 2019 to be held in Australia but definitely worth keeping an eye out for once it comes back to Europe.
The fourteenth Annual Meeting of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) will take place in Berlin from 25 to 29 November 2019.
Russian IGF – 8 April, Moscow
APrIGF – 16-19 July, Vladivostok, Russia
Next financial year:
Ukrainian IGF – September, Kiev
TLDCON – September, Lithuania
Belarusian IGF – October, Minsk
UADOM – December, Ukraine
