[bc-gnso] Intersessional Meeting Questioni

["Chris Chaplow" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Phil,

 

Thanks for the question.

 

I  think it is still in early stages but my understanding is what is
published in the Board Approved FY13 budget.

http://www.icann.org/en/about/financials/adopted-opplan-budget-fy13-24jun12-
en.pdf

in response to the SO/AC/constituency requests that are summarized in
Appendix 5 on page 68  - Note 2 on page 69 says

 

Note 2:  ?A number of ICANN communities have proposed funding for
intercessional meetings and outreach in various regions. ICANN believes that
this presents potentially valuable opportunities for outreach and capacity
building. Before committing to host the various requests, this two day
January 2013 pilot program   (in a hub city) will allow the organization to
explore the idea and will serve to gather participants from all non contract
communities. One day of the program will give the communities the
opportunity to reach out to prospective members and the second would provide
cross collaboration opportunities. Expenses would include staff coordination
time, travel support and limited scribing, recording and transcript.

 

I have heard mention of end January.   LA or Brussels?     Rob Hogarth is
tasked with working on the project.    

 

The BC had requested funding for outreach events in Europe and Africa, but
most other constituencies  had requested   intercessional meetings.  The
result of BC request was ?YES See note 2.?

 

Hope that helps.

Asunto: RE: [bc-gnso] Revised agenda as outlined by chair on BC call.

 

For purposes of clarification, what would the focus of the potential 2-day
meeting in BRU or LA(?) be, which ICANN groups would be invited, and
approximately when would it be scheduled? I wasn?t able to catch all the
details.

 

Thanks in advance.
