As mentioned on the call yesterday, I believe that we should engage Chris as
well. I like the idea of reaching out to chambers of commerce. The ICC has
helped organize events in the past. Many companies simply aren't aware of the
important role that ICANN plays and the impact it can have on their businesses.
Maybe the increased focus on Internet Governance may change that.

I absolutely agree with this approach as well. We should work with Chris to
help him help us.
Count on me for this lunch or any other activity that involves discussing these
topics.
Our approach has been to bring ICANN to the events and places were businesses
are already present and/ or to organize events during the ICANN meeitngs with
local together with leading organizations that can bring their members to an
appealing ICANN event during the meeting. I think many of us share these views.
And we have been quite successful with this kind of approach in the past.
I have worked with Chris for the Buenos Aires meeting. The webinar we have
organized before the meeting was great.
When we showed leadership from the local organizations and expertise in
organizing these type of events, he was absolutely open and collaborative and
he listened and supported our efforts.
For the events during the meeting it was more complex, there were too many
activities going on at the same time.
But I am sure that is possible to learn the lessons and improve.
We should focus in the concurrent points of our agendas and be able to leverage
the opportunities.

Elisa,
On the call today, you asked for opinions and guidance of where Chris Mondni
should be going with the local Business Engagement events.
Most previous events have seen a very low turnout of local business leaders.
I appreciate it is difficult to organize remotely but we need attendance of
100+ to make this worthwhile to do outreach for ICANN, for the BC, and for
ourselves.
The only way is via local business organizations such as Chamber of Commerce
and get them on board and excited anout a meeting for their members that ICANN
funds. It is an opportunity for their members to learn about ICANN and BC and
meet us, the travelling business people in town.
I am member of a number of chambers, and I am thinking about it from the other
side. If it was properly and well advance promoted within the Chamber there
would be a good turnout. Perhaps that needs a Chamber committee member well
on board. If not and the invite is just emails and phone calls then the
chamber might just send a few along as a courtesy. I don't know the
organizational route to date but the outcome in the past has been the latter.
Again it may need a ICANN and/or BC member to make an advance visit to
personally meet and present to the chamber committee and get them so on board.
Too late for Singapore but in time for London and LA.
Best
