Hi Judith 
I recall at NTEN they were speaking loudly about sessions about  Persons with Disabilities but they had to compete with the  conference favourites.  Its a bit of a popularity contest sometimes to get the audience, its sad but thats the reality

Hi All
I spoke one year at both NTen and Rightscon and they are great places. Rightscon is better for civil society as nten does not really get an audience interested in icann but lots of helpful tips on how to grow a non profit and take advantage of google ads and other similar program. My bad luck is my session was in a very far room which was hard to reach

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.
