Re: [council] Preliminary planning for ICANN58


Absolutely.  

Altho I’d love to see some data that correlates attendance at an ICANN meeting 
with an uptick in new volunteer participation.  We’ve often heard the CEO or 
Chair announce (in London, and most recently Hyderabad) that the current ICANN 
meeting is the “largest in its history.”  But I haven’t yet seen where overall 
attendance translates in to a deeper pool of volunteers for policy work.
        
Thanks –

J.

    Hi,
    
    And if holding meeting B in Africa and LAC encourages stakeholders from 
those regions to engage with the GNSO’s PDP, then all the better.
    
    Thanks.
