Creating an NGO for NPOC in Estonia
by Sam Lanfranco May 2, 2021

May 2, 2021

Here I offer my one shot, two cents of food for thought about this undertaking. While it may be useful to insert, for the time being, the Mission and Vision of NPOC, that is not a substitute for a clear Mission and Vision statement of the proposed Association (whatever it is called -e.g. Friends of NPOC <= not suggested). The need for a clear Association Mission and Vision flows, in my opinion, from the following issue. In the increasingly important area of Internet Governance ICANN is hell-bent to put a ring fence around what it does and is concerned with. It is promoting the idea of Technical Internet Governance (TIG) as a distinct and limited subset of Internet Governance (IG). What ICANN’s role is in IG itself, as an Internet ecosystem stakeholder, is not at all clear. The NGO and civil society community are trying to figure out where they stand, and more importantly what they can do, in the broader areas of Internet Governance. That poses a considerable challenge to any proposed Association that wishes to actively engage the Internet ecosystem’s NGO/civil society constituency to focus on DNS matters. As they face a myriad of Internet ecosystem and Governance challenges what sort of Mission/Vision Statement and Association strategy will attract them to membership and engagement in a DNS focused Association? A clear “Friends of NPOC” focused Mission/Vision Statement is unlikely to attract members, and an Associating with few active members is unlikely to have a meaningful impact or secure a sustainable financial base. Putting my business consulting hat on for a moment, had NPOC been a client I would have suggested that it consider its situation in the following way. Broader Internet ecosystem and Governance issues are on the table. NPOC’s position within ICANN constrains it to dealing only with DNS issues. NPOC needs to look beyond that constraint, so that it can address broader Internet ecosystem and Governance issues, doing so either alone or in collaboration with an existing group. Rather than putting up its own ring fence and limiting an Association to DNS, NPOC’s constituencies need to jump outside that ring fence in any Association build and look for collaboration and engagement with others in dealing with Internet ecosystem and Governance issues. The action is outside the fence. Convincing NGO/civil society interests to primarily focus inside the fence is not a winning strategy. My two cents of food for thought. Sam Lanfranco

Creating an NGO for NPOC in Estonia - with a bank account
by Raoul Plommer May 1, 2021

May 1, 2021

Dear members of NPOC, For 2+ years we have been talking about setting up an NGO to have a legal entity that is able to collect donations and other payments for projects that NPOC is doing. Some obvious benefits as an NGO include: 1) $10 000 Google ads money MONTHLY 2) To be able to accept donations and project funding from organisations like the PIR 3) Having a registered NGO in Estonia means we can open a bank account there and with the help of the Estonian digital citizenship (100€ per person), we can manage our account from overseas AND change signatories for it, without ever visiting Estonia after the organisation is registered. What we need to do: 1) Finish the draft of the charter of the NGO. 2) Pay one Estonian guy 200€ for - Translation - processing our registration - becoming board member for the first term - putting his address as the address of the NGO 3) Paying for the registration of the NGO to the Estonian government (<€100) 4) Open a bank account and have two of three board members (two from NPOC EC) get the Estonian digital citizenship 5) Pay €100 for each signatory 6) Pay €100 for me to go to Estonia and sort out the final steps in a day or two. So that's approximately 200 (Estonian guy) + 200 (two signatories) + 100 (registration fee) + 100 (My trip to Estonia) = €600 altogether I am sure there will be questions for a big decision like this, so please, let it rain! I'll try to answer them all, best to my knowledge. :) -Raoul

Calls for applications for becoming the Policy Chair of NPOC
by Raoul Plommer April 22, 2021

April 22, 2021

Dear NPOC members, I'm sad to tell you all that, as you may or may not already know, our previous Policy Chair has quit her position for personal reasons. It's proving to be a very tough year for civil society volunteers but we must plow on, in the interest of NGOs and their members around the world. Therefore, on behalf of the current EC, I would like to open a call for applications for this very important role in our constituency. The term is going to be limited in time, until our AGM in October when the new elected EC term kicks in, but nothing is stopping this person from applying to become the Policy Chair in the upcoming elections, which we will soon announce. On the contrary, we strongly encourage any interested applicant to also run for office in order to ensure continuity in this position. To apply, simply send me and Maryam (see her email address as recipient of this email) an email with *your name* and *a short statement of interest* highlighting your (1) *experience *with policy work (in- or outside of ICANN) and your (2) *motivation* for applying. As this is rather time sensitive, the deadline for applications is *28th of April, 23.59 UTC.* We expect the successful applicant has some experience in creating policy, even if it hasn't been done in the Internet Governance framework. Looking forward to hearing from you, Raoul On behalf of the NPOC Executive Committee
