I totally agree with @Jean. I have been attending RightCon meetings since the Brussels meeting in 2017. Yes, CSOs are not ready for DNS conversation but with the rise of concerns regarding DNS abuse, content moderation, etc., this can become a wider conversation at RightCon, maybe we should start proposing sessions during these meetings and the IGF so that the stakeholders understand that the DNS conversation is not limited to the technical layer and that ICANN despite its technical mandate, has the responsibility to safeguard cultural rights (ref> to the dot-Patagonia and dot-amazon brouhaha in the past). The details of these cases can be the starting point for this conversation. With regard to NTEN, NPOC can really benefit from that only when we incorporated it as a non for profit. We had hours of conversation in the past if I recall during Joan’s term and Raoul’s first term to incorporated NPOC but, we did not succeed mainly due to the regular change of Leadership and the signatories to the bank account. But if we want to move forward, this can bite a good starting point at least to benefit from the Google for Non-for profit and Microsoft initiatives and funding from donors to manage our own projects and support member organisations. PS: the list is becoming active, I hope it remains active with such enriching conversations after the elections …:) Emmanuel Vitus, MA (PMP® , PSM1) Tech Policy Researcher - Working for a Free, Open & Inclusive Internet | NPOC Secretary General | Ex Coms & Research Lead @ParadigmHQ | Ex @Google Policy | Mobile: +33 763102234 My WiFi connects automatically in France & Togo

Hi Since we are exchanging ideas to expand the awareness of NPOC in civil society perhaps we should consider the opportunities to attend NTEN's annual conference called NTC which this year was in Portland, Oregon Details at https://www.nten.org/ Important to note that PIR was a platinum sponsor and NTEN was the first critical group from civil society that questioned the sale of ISOC back a few years ago ( Note I was on the board but did not vote or participant in this discussion at the time). It's worth submitting a proposal for conducting a session. Another good option is attending RIGHTSCON which is in Costa Rico this year.
