Fellowship for IGF
by Glenn McKnight July 17, 2024

July 17, 2024

Dear All, With the generous support of internet pioneer and philanthropist, Vint Cerf and Google LLC, the IGF-DCAD (Internet Governance Forum -- Dynamic Coalition on Accessibility and Disability) is pleased to announce the availability of accessibility grants for persons with disabilities attending the IGF 2024 online or in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We understand the importance of inclusivity and strive to ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to participate in the Internet Governance discussions. This is a step in that direction. The support grants may cover a range of expenses associated with travel, accommodation, accessibility accommodation, or remote internet support and participation in the event, ensuring that individuals with disabilities can fully engage in the important discussions at the IGF. Recognizing that in-person participation may not be feasible for everyone, we are committed to providing an accessible virtual experience for those who opt for remote engagement. For more details, visit: https://igf-dcad.org/igf2024_grants/ DCAD firmly believes that fostering diversity and inclusivity in internet governance leads to better policies and decisions that reflect the needs of all stakeholders. Through this support initiative, we hope to empower persons with disabilities to actively engage in internet policy discussions, whether they attend in person or virtually. *How to Apply?* Interested candidates can apply for the travel support grants by completing the online application at: https://igf-dcad.org/igf2024-grant-application/ *Application Deadline:* The deadline for submitting applications is August 11 2024 15:00 UTC. Late submissions will not be considered. *Selection Process:* The DCAD Fellowship Selection Committee will review all applications based on the eligibility criteria and the impact of the applicant's involvement in internet governance. The selection committee will evaluate the applications impartially and announce the awardees. Due to limited funds, all applicants may not receive support and the decision of the Committee shall be final. *Questions*? For queries, contact us at: info(a)igf-dcad.org Best, Dr. Muhammad Shabbir, Judith Hellerstein Coordinator, Dynamic Coalition on Accessibility and Disability (DCAD), Twitter: https://twitter.com/MShabbirPhD/ Glenn McKnight, MA Virtual School of Internet Governance Chief Information Officer www.virtualsig.org *YOUR SOURCE FOR INTERNET GOVERNANCE EDUCATION * *Mobile 437-237-4655*

[NPOC] ICANN81: Local / regional /AP nonprofits.
by Jean F. Quéralt July 13, 2024

July 13, 2024

Dear members, With the occasion of ICANN81, we would like to explore connecting with local NGOs from the host country as well as others from Asia Pacific (since ICANN81 is categorized in that region). Would you know organizations that you can introduce us to: - In Istanbul Here, we would try to have them join us during the event, meet the EC and maybe organize an informal introductory session with them. - In Turkey Here, we would explore if joining the meeting is a possibility for them and otherwise joining us remotely for the intro session. - In Asia Pacific at large Here, we would encourage them to register for remote participation and join us remotely in for the intro session. I believe there's plenty of organizations that can benefit from being members of NPOC and they simply don't know about ICANN and its importance in the Internet ecosystem. Looking forward to hearing from you! Best, Jean F. Queralt Founder & CEO - The IO Foundation <http://www.TheIOFoundation.org> Book a meeting <http://TIOF.Click/BookJFQ> (30 minutes) -- **DISCLAIMER** *The content of this message, which may contain personal or sensitive data, is confidential.

Fw: Fwd: [gnso-chairs] Initiating the Community Dialogue on "How We Meet": Initial Ideas & Meeting Request
by Juan Manuel Rojas July 11, 2024

July 11, 2024

Dear all, Please check this information (attached) about the proposal from ICANN to do some changes in regard with meetings and another concerns. Best Regards,Juan Manuel Rojas NPOC Chair Yahoo Mail: Search, Organize, Conquer ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: "Tomslin Samme-Nlar" <mesumbeslin(a)GMAIL.COM> To: "NCSG-DISCUSS(a)LISTSERV.SYR.EDU" <NCSG-DISCUSS(a)LISTSERV.SYR.EDU> Cc: Sent: Wed, Jul 10, 2024 at 17:58 Subject: Fwd: [gnso-chairs] Initiating the Community Dialogue on "How We Meet": Initial Ideas & Meeting Request Hi team, In our SOAC leadership meeting with Sally in Kigali, she mentioned 2 areas where the community needs to have a dialogue on; (1) "How We Meet" and (2) "How We Work". Below and attached is a discussion paper from ICANN's Policy & Advice Development staff team to facilitate the discussion on dialogue #1 "How We Meet. Things will move fast since we have to send our feedback (if any) to gnso-chairs(a)icann.org by 24 July 2024. As a result, I have added this topic as an agenda item to our monthly policy meeting which is on Monday 15 July at 11:30 UTC (See Andrea's email/reminder for joining details and full agenda). Come with some ideas please. I have also created this Google Doc to solicit feedback from everyone, even if you can't make the meeting. In the paper, you will notice a number of suggestions such as: - Evaluate the full cycle of in-person and hybrid community meetings, including standalone SOAC Leadership and Strategic Planning meetings, targeted group meetings (such as the Contracted Parties Summit, the At Large Summit, and the High-Level Governmental Meeting) and similar, cost-intensive, travel-dependent Meetings - Review the planning by ICANN Org and the community for all in-person/hybrid meetings (including ICANN Public Meetings) by adopting an annualized, regular approach of planning for a full meeting cycle (either by a calendar year or a fiscal year) - Review of the current allocation of Funded Travelers to each ICANN Public Meeting - Reduce the number of sessions at ICANN Public Meetings, which could result in a reduction in the cost of travel (i.e., accommodation) and venue-related costs (e.g., room and equipment rentals, contractors) - Reduce or eliminate informational and training sessions at ICANN Public Meetings - Reduce or eliminate ICANN-hosted or ICANN-sponsored social and outreach events at, or associated with, an ICANN Public Meeting - Move at least one (1) upcoming ICANN Public Meeting to a Virtual Meeting - Review the current state of ICANN Public Meetings, with a view toward updating the ten-year-old ICANN Meetings Strategy (dating from 2014) to match current and expected future needs and budget constraints Talk to you all on Monday. Warmly, Tomslin From: Mary Wong via soac-chairs <soac-chairs(a)icann.org> Sent: Sunday, July 7, 2024 11:58 PM To: soac-chairs(a)icann.org Cc: team-leaders(a)icann.org Subject: [EXTERNAL] [soac-chairs] Initiating the Community Dialogue on "How We Meet": Initial Ideas & Meeting Request | CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you can confirm the sender and know the content is safe. | Dear SOAC leaders, An action item from your informal meeting with Sally in Kigali was for the Policy team to facilitate a dialogue with you about “How We Meet”, viz., how our in-person and hybrid meetings can be optimized to ensure that resources (including financial, staff and community time) continue to be allocated appropriately to ensure the community can do its work effectively and efficiently, while staying within budgetary constraints. As a starting point for this dialogue, we have drafted the attached discussion paper with some initial ideas for your community’s consideration and to invite your suggestions for further discussion. To capitalize on the momentum of recent conversations and to facilitate a constructive and substantive dialogue, we’d like to suggest the following cadence of meetings, structured around a few foundational questions: - Late/end-July: first call with SOAC Chairs and Vice-Chairs to share feedback on agreed strategic questions - Mid/late August (following collation of ideas and input): second call to discuss and agree on concrete ideas for implementation or further exploration - End-August/early September (if agreed is needed): third call to review agreed way forward, including any next steps for additional (longer term) ideas to be discussed further The sort of strategic, foundational questions we were thinking might be helpful for focusing the dialogue include: - If you or your group could change one thing about how we meet that will facilitate efficiency in how we deliver ICANN’s mission while remaining sustainable into the future, what would that be? - What other key changes do we need to make to continue to ensure we can meet these goals? Thank you for your support and willingness to collaborate with us in seeking to improve and optimize how we meet. Assuming you are comfortable with the proposed approach, I’ll make sure to come back to you with some suggested dates for the calls. Please let me know if your group have any questions or would like any additional information that can assist with your internal discussions about this topic. Thank you!
