Yes, the ideal situation would be for a bi-annual (short of an annual) strategy to attend not only these but other events.
That was on my radar the moment I was nominated for Comms.

Tailoring our submissions to the topics of each event will indeed be part of the strategy. And then build the necessary CTAs.

I think with the amount of members we have (despite needing to have a deeper look for "missing areas"), we may be able to attend in many places.

Dear Jean,

Good day, just interjecting here, Access Now who created rightscon their focus is not on DNS, so that says it all, it won't change as the domain they cover is pretty neccessary and loads to do as digital rights takje various dimensions in today's world.  I have attended various Rightscon events and have  done sessions that focus on digital rights centric issues. Our   NPOC community focuses on  DNS issues related to  not for profits. We  should stick to that area as a lot is not yet covered by us as  NPOC. In the early days of NPOC we had sessions at the IGF focusing on NPOC work. I spoke in those sessions we put proposals for etc.  Now even in IGF we don't as a community propose and run sessions etc. The last session NPOC had in an IGF was in Baku, Azerbaijan.  I will suggest after the elections just as we did in 2012 NPOC should come out with a two year strategy of its core engagement that it wants to focus on, it will guide all, especially giving NPOC a clear policy direction and what events it should attend that aligns with its core mandate thats what happened in 2012 our Late chair Alain Berranger of blessed memory despite is ill health then  worked hard to get a strategy in place.  I expect incoming executives to go back to adopt that model of a two year strategic document.

Just my 0.0001% contribution.

Thanks

Poncelet

Never been to NTEN.
I can say that RightsCon is not ready (technically nor at other levels) for anything DNS related at this point in time; it's seriously out of the radar despite the odd DNSSEC chit chat. Technical sessions are rare and there's usually little interest in DNS. People with technical background represent barely 10%(?) of the audience. People with policy making background are definitely abundant, however.

My point: Yes, we should be there + we need to strategize how is that done and what does that mean for NPOC.
My initial thoughts is that we should be introducing DNS-related topics and policies slowly until we can build a certain base of interested people.

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.
