Name/Organization:
GANGADHAR PANDAY / BABUL FILMS SOCIETY NGO NONPROFIT, HYDERABAD, INDIA
 
ICANN Affiliation (WGs, etc.):
NCUC / NCSG as an Organizational member, NPOC as an Individual member 
Reason for wanting to attend in person:
I attended the ICANN and NCUC, NPOC meetings for the first time in ICANN57 Hyderabad. Now I have a fairly good idea of the structure and functioning of ICANN.
I am very eager to participate in person so that I can follow and contribute to the discussions as a representative of non-profit in India, a developing country with huge internet penetration. I feel I am best positioned to reflect the concerns of civil society situation obtaining in India and also confident that the inputs will largely help in decision making.


Level of participation in NPOC (explain):
I actively participated in the NPOC meetings in Hyderabad. I made a promo video with Martin Silva and Joan Kerr with my narration in Telugu [Language  spoken in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh] which resulted in good attendance from the local civil society. I also translated the proceedings live for the benefit of non-English speakers in the meetings.
 
I agree to write a blog report maximum 2 weeks after the meeting and join an ICANN working group/NPOC committee.
 
Sincerely,

HI Raoul,

Thank you for your interest in attending the Intersessional meeting.  The Excom will be reviewing the responses and make a decision in the next few days.

NCUC as an individual member, NPOC as an organisational member 
Reason for wanting to attend in person:
Firstly, I am simply much more effective in person. I also understand other people and the issues they present better, when discussing issues face to face.

Secondly, I am really quite intrigued in the way that NCPH does its business and would like to see first hand, how we negotiate and make satisfactory compromises with our commercial counterparts. I think this would be a great learning experience for me and I would definitely be able to contribute more in to the work, if I was able to join you for the intersessional meeting. 

Thirdly, I was encouraged to apply by the intention to invite new faces to the meeting and I think I can still be counted as a newbie in ICANN, since I've been tagging along only since March.

I would also want to discuss the coming NomCom review as well. That surely fits the "longer-range substantial community issues and collaboration with Senior ICANN Staff on strategic and operational issues that impact the community." -specification.
Level of participation in NPOC (explain):
So far, I've hardly participated in the work of NPOC and I feel, that this would be a good opportunity for NPOC to lure me into working for it. I am still undecided, on which constituency within NCSG I should be concentrating on and if I got more exposure on the actual work and negotiations of NPOC, that might well tilt the balance in NPOC's favor.
In addition to the above, attendees would be required to write a blog report maximum 2 weeks after the meeting and join an ICANN working group/NPOC committee.
Fair enough - I'll actually try to get into the habit of writing a report while I'm still at the meeting, so one could expect to get the report in just a few days time after the meeting.

Sincerely,

Raoul
