RE: [council] FW: [soac-discussion] Public Participation Committee public session, invitation for SO/AC leaders' participation


Thanks Olga.  Would you please check your availability and, if you are
available, please respond to the three questions as a means to generate
some list discussion in advance of the panel so that you might be able
to have some input from other Councilors.
 
Chuck

        Chuck,
        I would be willing to participate in this pannel, although I am
not sure if it overlaps with other meetings or activities I must be
involved in.
        Regards
        Olga

                Please see below a very late request for GNSO
participation in a panel that will be discussing the following in
Nairobi:
                 
                "a) What are the three most important improvements ICANN
can make to its public participation processes to facilitate greater
engagement by developing world stakeholders? 

                b) Should ICANN incorporate a greater focus on the
developing world in its work and if so, how?

                c) How can the work of ICANN be given greater relevance
where there is low Internet density per capita - and what priority
should be given to reaching stakeholders in countries with the lowest
Internet connection density? (see the World Bank statistical link under
"Materials and References" below to look up statistical information of
the kind referenced)."

                

                Note that this conflicts with the "Registration Abuse
Policies Initial Report Information Session" on Wednesday afternoon in
Nairobi. 

                Because of the late notice on this, it really is not
possible to develop a GNSO position on the issues to be discussed, so I
believe the best we can do is to identify a volunteer who would for the
most part participate in a personal capacity and attempt to represent to
the best of her/his ability what they understand to be views of GNSO
community members.

                Is there anyone who would be interested and willing to
participate on this panel in Nairobi?  Please respond as soon as
possible if you are interested. It might be helpful if any volunteers
would provide brief personal answers to the three questions to allow
other Councilors to comment between now and 10 March and thereby obtain
a little broader GNSO input before the session.

                Chuck

Committee public session, invitation for SO/AC leaders' participation
                
                
                Dear SO and AC leaders: 

                On Wednesday 10th from 1600-1730 local time in Nairobi,
the Board's Public Participation Committee will hold its public meeting.

                The PPC has asked me to ask you if a representative from
each of the ACs and SOs would care to be  a part of the session by
participating in a panel, alongside the members of the PPC, to lead the
discussion  of the various  items on the agenda, and of course to
participate in the discussion directly. If one of you, or someone you
wish to nominate from your community, is unable to attend in-room we can
arrange for  you to be able to participate remotely via audio bridge.

                The full agenda may be found at
http://nbo.icann.org/node/8950; I have not  pasted it below since the
hyperlinks would not be  usable and as you will see when you browse the
agenda the hyperlinks are quite integral to the whole. 

                Finally, I hope you will accept my apologies in advance
for  posting the agenda assuming that some members of the SOs and ACs
would be willing to participate as described. Given the subject, it
seemed that I would be on safe ground to  make that assumption.

                -- 
                
                
                
                Regards,
