If not a showcase then perhaps something to go in the bag, and a social event? j On Wed, Apr 25, 2012 at 1:49 PM, Beau Brendler <beaubrendler@earthlink.net>wrote:
Greetings.
Pursuant to the last NA phone meeting, I said I would try to measure some consensus in the region as to whether we should plan and hold a showcase in Toronto, as we did (very successfully) in San Francisco.
What I heard on the phone was something of a consensus that we should not have one, reasons cited including: * Showcase burnout * Few new ALSs to showcase joining NA since San Francisco * Do we (regional orgs) need to have a showcase every time there is a local ICANN meeting? * Instead of a showcase should we do something that's more engaged with the public interest * Should we concentrate instead on capacity building sessions or other
So I am going to start from the position that there's a consensus we should not hold a showcase in Toronto.
Please let us know over the next week or so if you would like NA to hold a showcase and we can consider the response. ------ NA-Discuss mailing list NA-Discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/na-discuss
