RE: [council] ICANN Board meeting agenda - 9 Dec 2009 - Item on Constituencies

["Rosemary Sinclair" <Rosemary.Sinclair@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bruce and others 

I should have added this earlier - my usual practice, having raised a
question, is to suggest some next steps

which might be:

1) To make progress with the discussion that was suggested in Seoul
between the Consumer Constituency proposers and myself (in two
capacities - one as NCSG EC Vice Chair and second as a Board appointed
Councilor focused on engaging the consumer voice in ICANN)

2) To explore NCSG support for the Consumer Constituency proposal - this
would provide a "good beginning" for the Constituency within the
Stakeholder Group and something I am keen to facilitate

In the meantime NCSG Executive Committee will continue our work on
formation of NCSG as part of the GNSO Improvements work in order to be a
fully formed Stakeholder Group which can support Members, Interest
Groups and Constituencies as they develop to represent the voice of
Non-Commercial Stakeholders.

Cheers

Rosemary

Hi Bruce

Is there anything of significance in item 6 - there is some thought that
this might relate to a Consumer Constituency - something we are working
on but are not ready for just yet.....

There was some discussion in Seoul about a Consumer Constituency which
had its origin in ALAC but there's been no progress that I'm aware of -
apart from me taking time in Brussels yesterday (here on other business)
to meet with BEUC (accompanied by ICANNite Nick Ashton Hart) to explore
how we might attract the EU consumer voice into ICANN processes.

I'd be grateful for any feedback you can give me....about whether I
should panic (as suggested by some)...or not

We are making good progress in NCSG admin at this stage...working
towards being set up to support Interest Groups and Constituencies on
the non-commercial side

Hope I'm not causing any angst with this query - still finding my way

Cheers

Rosemary
