Searching for volunteer to the ICANN Community Document Development and Drafting Resource Pilot Program (DDDPP)
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond Aug. 5, 2016

Aug. 5, 2016

Dear EURALO colleagues, one of the problems of our community is that whenever a request for public consultation comes in, it is often very "dry" in that it asks the question, but does not provide enough information to our community as to why or how this could be important for end users. As a result, we have a terrible response rate from ALSes to the public consultation; only a very small subset of the At-Large's Community 200 ALSes actually takes part in the ICANN policy development through public consultations. The DDDPP (yes, that's the darned name!) is a pilot program to help resolve this problem. The aim is to design, develop and launch an FY16 pilot program to assess the potential, practical processes and mechanisms for providing ICANN community groups with support for the research, development, collaboration, drafting and editing of documents for submission within the policy development processes of ICANN. In other words, it is a resource (a writer) who will help out explaining how a specific piece of policy will affect end users. It was agreed at the RALO meeting in Helsinki that at least 2 people from each RALO should take part in the program. As I am involved in policy, I volunteered to be one of these two people in EURALO. We need a second volunteer, who is interested in Policy development, but who also speaks good English as this is going to be work liaising with the person who will be drafting the policy-related explanations for consultations. Please email me as soon as possible if you would like to volunteer. Kindest regards, Olivier
