Surprise on ICANN Brussels schedule page ...

May 10, 2010

Dear colleagues, I was surprised looking at the webpage on the ICANN Brussels schedule http://brussels38.icann.org/sched-overview I do not see any announcement of ALAC meetings ... and in regards our EURALO Outreach activities this is really not very helpful as we are trying to get sponsors for this event. Can staff check why ALAC is not mentioned ? Best regards, Rudi Vansnick Internet Society Belgium vzw - president   Board member EURALO (ALAC - ICANN)  ALAC ccNSO liaison Tel: +32 (0)70 77 39 39  GSM: +32 (0)475 28 16 32  www.internetsociety.be

EURODIG follow-up
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond May 7, 2010

This is just to let you know that EURODIG took place in Madrid on Thursday and Friday last week. It was a real success, and the draft messages from Madrid are all linked from the front page on: http://www.eurodig.org I brought the following (heavy) material to the conference and left it on the brochures table: - around ~20 at large brochures in English - around ~20 at large brochures in Spanish - around ~20 at large brochures in French - around ~30 EURALO brochures in English - 15 ICANN annual reviews 2009 Thanks to Heidi & ICANN staff for having gotten all of this material to me in time! At the end of the first day, none of the ICANN annual reviews were there, so I guess they were all taken. About half of the brochures remained. At the end of the second day, I saw around 25 brochures altogether - I guess the rest was somehow picked up... I left them there since I left early, and I gathered that the many people still lingering around might still be interested in picking up brochures. On Sunday, I'll be going to Geneva, in time for the IGF sessions. I'll take the remainder of the ICANN annual reviews there. (all 15 of them). I gather that ICANN staff (or other EURALO folks) might wish to take a few at large brochures along. I think that they are popular. Kind regards, Olivier -- Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond, PhD http://www.gih.com/ocl.html
