Re: [council] DNS Entrepreneurship Center

[Amr Elsadr <aelsadr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Julf,

My take on this would be that each stakeholder group/constituency within the 
GNSO needs to work on its own outreach. Often, this involves coordination with 
ICANN staff including staff from the Regional Stakeholder Engagement teams, 
among others.

However, given that the GNSO is responsible for gTLD policy development, which 
results in policy recommendations to the ICANN board, I would guess that the 
scope of the GNSO Council (as the manager of the GNSO’s PDP) in terms of 
outreach is limited to outreach for the purpose of participation in GNSO 
working groups, and perhaps outreach to encourage engagement in any public 
comment periods associated with the GNSO’s ongoing work.

My personal thoughts, but I admit, I hadn’t given this much thought before.

Thanks.

Amr
