Dear Thomas

Greetings and Thanks for your email. To answer your question: "Yes" and "Certainly". NPOC has made some organizational arrangements that give us the possibility to arrange for events, but this is just the organizational platform. What we need to do now is to put some flesh on the bones. I therefor would like to invite you all to make some recommendation with regard to the topics, rationale, structure and even possible speakers for specific speakers. We should collect these suggestions and then decide on which to implement and how.

Hello all,

Do you think it could be envisaged to organise some kind of event for NGOs in the Morocco / North Africa region (and beyond) during the next ICANN meeting in Marrakech? This could be an opportunity to discuss various DNS issues and and the roll out of certain new gTLDs including the .NGO / .ONG.

I note that the next COP Climate Summit is taking place in Marrakech in November 2016 - a big year for NGOs in the country and broader region.

This is a good starting point for NPOC to interact with local not for profits. As we discussed, a joint reception/session to learn more about them and they about us to build relationships and support each other.

Dear Friends

Greetings. It seems to be time that we start working to implement the event for NGO's during the ICANN Marrakesh meeting. We had an event planned for Dublin which we could not implement for various reasons but I think the structure and concept of the event is still sound:

Event Structure1:

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) As an alternative, we could use the following event structure:

"How the transfer of the US Government of the so called IANA functions that concern the Domain names, Internet Protocols Assignments and Number Resources, to ICANN, impacts the work of Civil Society Organizations World wide" (there must be a better way to say this!)

Draft Program:

Welcome: 5 minutes

Introduction: IANA Transition! What does that mean for NGO's? (15 Minutes)

Presentations: Impacts of the IANA Transition on Civil Society organizations

Presentation 1: Increased Internet Security and Stability, (20 Minutes, ) Presentation 2: Increased Internet Governance Transparency, (20 Minutes, ) Presentation 3: Increased Internet Governance Participation, (20 Minutes, )

Plenary Q and A: 30 minutes

Conclusions and Follow up: 15 minutes

Personally, I think the first event structure is the best, but please let us know which you prefer and also who you think we should ask to speak and how we can get as many local and remote NGO's involved as possible. I will also send out soon a doodle pool, to determine the date for a conference call to start planning and implementing things.

Looking forward to your ideas and responses,

Yours

Hello and thank you Klaus to reconnect us with this folder.

It is really time that we begin by better preparing Marrakech especially with regard to the bad experience in Dublin.

According to my humble opinion, while supporting the idea of maintaining and better control Klaus's first proposal, instead of the second proposal, I propose that we organize a round table on this cruxial question of : "how an civil society organization can become a registrar in Africa Ingternet ecosystem ? "

Indeed the issue of gear registrars in Africa is timely.

I imagine a presentation on this topic made by an illustrious representative of .ORG as Paul DIAZ surrounded by members of our EXCOM(NPOC) to interact with participants in F2F and remotely.

What do you think about this proposal ?

Hi Klaus,

Yes, I think the proposal is a good one for Marrakech. We have to keep promoting the education at each of the conferences.

Might I suggest we work with a local organization as the co-host and they can help make the arrangements and invitation list to local organizations as well. The local organizations can become members of NPOC.

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 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, t//he 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. //T//he 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 On 1/8/2016 9:42 AM, Joan Kerr wrote:

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 <http://www.barefootcollege.org/about/staff/international/> 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
