[gnso-osc-csg] Action Item re: Task 2 Outreach
Dear Debbie and Work Team members, As requested during last Friday’s meeting, the Work Team sought additional details on the BGC WG’s recommendations concerning outreach. I have reviewed the BGC WG’s Report. (See attached document.) The primary and most detailed references are included below. Based on these references it would appear the the Work Team has some leeway in recommending outreach activities within the scope of the recommendations from the BGC WG’s Report. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance in this matter. Thank you. Best regards, Julie BGC WG Report, Page 45 “Proposed Action Item: The Board tasks Staff: (i) To develop and implement a targeted outreach program to explore the formation of new constituency groups. This outreach program should be designed to reach all current members of the ICANN community and potential members, particularly in areas where English is not widely spoken, and should include the ideas and participation of existing constituencies. Staff should provide periodic progress reports; and (ii) To work with constituencies to develop global outreach programs aimed at increasing participation in constituencies and the GNSO policy process. Staff should provide periodic progress reports.” BGC WG Report, Page 54 “ICANN should take steps to clarify and promote the option to self-form a new constituency. It should engage in greater outreach to ensure that all parts of the community, particularly those areas where English is not widely spoken, are aware of the option to form new constituencies. Together, ICANN Staff and the GNSO should develop specific recommendations for achieving these goals. Board tasks Staff to (i) develop and implement an outreach program to explore the formation of new constituency groups, particularly in areas where English is not widely spoken; and (ii) to work with constituencies to develop global outreach programs aimed at increasing participation in constituencies and the GNSO policy process.” Attachment:
