Dear Joan, Dear Tom, Dear Friends

Thanks for your valuable comments. I have yesterday filled the form necessary to request a room before or during the Marrakesh ICANN meeting. I requested a meeting room on Saturday the 5th of Marsh 17.00 (to be confirmed).

We are in fact preparing 2 events: 1) The Saturday event with the draft program below and a event, (Saturday):

NPOC, the ICANN Not for Profit Organizational Concerns Constituency, in co-operation with the Pathfinder Initiative, is pleased to invite you to participate in a live session and webinar:

"ICANN: The Domain Name System and NGOs – How and Why Should NGOs Get Involved"

Civil Society and its NGOs, the Internet’s largest stakeholder group, are increasingly dependent on how the Internet and its underlying Domain Name System (DNS) operate in order to carry on their work. The event will directly address operational concerns of NGOs using the Internet and describes how ICANN address issues and provides solutions.

Presentations include"

"NGOs’ day to day concerns using the Internet and how Internet Governance and policy making addresses them"

"Privacy and how ICANN tries to address the issue".

"Right and Obligations of NGO's on the Net".

"Is my NGO secure on the Net?"

"How to participate in ICANN as an NGO".

2) "DNS new business opportunities for registrars across Africa", (event during Tuesdays NPOC Constituency days, event organized by Rudi).

So what we need now is to get speakers fixed and the local and regional outreach going.

Tom, can you please follow up with Meagan Falllone, invite her, agree on a topic and discuss regional outreach possibilities.

ALL: can you please propose speakers for the topics above. we should also try to engage with speakers from the NCUC here.

The doodle poll stays open till the end of the week. Please let us know when you are available. I will close the poll and announce the meeting call by the end of the week. (Tom can you make yourself available somehow, all your dates say no).

Let's get going and looking forward to your suggestions.

Yours

Klaus

Hi Tom, All

Excellent. Let's now plan on the inreach and outreach strategy. We have agreed on the subject, so perhaps now is a good time to confirm place, time and speakers, and send evites out.

Dear Klaus et al,

I’ve just heard from Meagan Fallone, head of Global Strategy and Development of the Barefoot College that she would be happy to to speak, advocate or be included on any outreach communications in connection with the proposed special event for NGOs, and could make arrangements to attend the Morocco meeting.

Klaus,

The events need to be scheduled so that they do not conflict with Afro-centric sessions elsewhere at ICANN.

My earlier comment stressed drawing in any (NGO, ISP/informal or contracted) African registrars at the Marrakesh meetings.

At one or both sessions they specifically should be targeted for both attendance and participation.

*Dear Friends

After some consideration, I think we do need to make a either/or choice
but we can accommodate both events. We should have the"ICANN: The Domain
Name System and NGOs – How and Why Should NGOs Get Involved" before the
main meeting and we can have the NGO's as Registrars event as part of
our constituency day meeting. Does this sound like a good solution?

Please fill out the doodle poll for the planning event.

Yours

Klaus
