>> Hi Debra,
>>
>>
>>
>> sorry for delay:
>>
>>
>>
>> 1/ I think that ICANN website has some materials, the issue is how much
>> they are adapted for newcomer to understand ICANN structure, scope and
>> explain the how-to involve and what constituency to join.
>>
>> I recommend that the community participate in the guide design. I also
>> recommend avoid using "ICANN for Dummies", even if it is great series, for
>> some cultural reasons it may be misunderstood. The concept is ok, we just
>> need to drop that title. For the guide, we can get example from an IETF
>> guide addressed to newcomer called Tao of IETF
>> http://www.ietf.org/tao.html .
>> In addition to workshops, I advice more long-term capacity-building
>> and learning program like that one provided by DiploFoundation (olga and me
>> attended it)
>> http://www.diplomacy.edu/ig/IGCBP/display.asp?Topic=Programme and where
>> ICANN is already partner. ISOC started the same process this year with the
>> eleader program http://www.isoc.org/leaders/. so an adapted
>> capacity-building program (we should avoid using the term educate, it may be
>> seen as offending) with focus exclusively on ICANN structure, activities
>> would be effective. it may benefit to existign members and newcomers .
>>
>>
>>
>> For workshops,
>>
>> 1/ All regions should have such workshop (like INET model
>> http://www.isoc.org/isoc/conferences/inet/ ) and with fellowship program
>> ( fellowship  showed that many fellows follow-p and become active member of
>> ICANN community)
>>
>> Workshop program should have main sessions about ICANN overview,
>> description of its structure and other advanced sessions about ongoing
>> activities
>>
>> Panelists should be from the ICANN community and staff. it is important to
>> involve ICANN community member in particular from the region where workshop
>> is held.
>>
>>
>>
>> I think that Olga can give more details about Summer School (it was my
>>  first experience to meet people from ICANN)
>>
>>
>>
>> b/ I don't advice having a lot of material, but more a booklet  with
>> details in addition to the "ICANN for dummies". the former can be formal and
>> even academic for some topic.
>>
>>
>>
>> I am not in favor in flyers as they are not really effective.
>>
>>
>>
>> 2/
>>
>> I don't have specific recommendation now for identifying populations but I
>> think that we know basically that they are from developing regions and in
>> particular non-commercial organizations : NGO and academia/technical
>> community.
>>
>> Fellowship program proved that "investing" on young participants is worthy
>> to do. we may develop this in more specific program fro young like ITU is
>> doing for youth
>> http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/youth/itu__telecom_youth_forums.html
>>
>> with targeting young experts. we have good result doing that for Internet
>> Governance Forum
>>
>> 3/
>>
>> Sending emails for example is not effective for some countries and
>> cultures, face to face is important for building trust and long-term
>> relations. a regular presence of ICANN community members on Internet-Policy,
>> Academic conference about Network etc are important in particular for those
>> events who are organized in developing regions.
>>
>>
>>
>> Even when we contact people, it is also important to provide reliable
>> contact or focal point from ICANN who can handle questions and requests from
>> people who want to join. Personalized response are more effective than
>> standardized ones. A dedicated person can develop a rusted relations with
>> newcomers and provide a mentoring-like ( we can also develop mentoring
>> program from ICANN community members, IETF is doing that for its fellows who
>> attend for first time IETF meetings) to ensure follow-up and helping people
>> to be involved.
>>
>>
>>
>> we can link this to point 4, Global Partnership program is doing outreach
>> and keeping contact with community since a while but it is mostly for ccTLD,
>> telecom operator and governments and intergovernmental organizations by
>> attending conferences, symposiums etc. I advice to have feedback from the
>> regional managers of Africa and MENA (I know them, we can discuss further
>> how we can do that.
>>
>>
>>
>> 5/ about committee , it should be formed by member from all SGs and having
>> dedicated staff  ( maybe the focal point previously mentioned for example).
>>
>> maybe it can follow the nomcom model?
>>
>> there is already the public participation committee with board members,
>> maybe we can find ways to coordinate with them.

>>
>>
>>
>> 1)        Materials and content that be used to introduce new ICANN

>>
>> a.       How the workshop should be developed and executed?
>>
>> b.       What the workshop materials should contain?
>>
>> 2)        Do you have specific recommendations for ways to define
>> underrepresented populations and to identify populations that should be
>> targeted by our outreach efforts?
>>
>> 3)        Do you have ideas and strategies that should be employed in the

>> countries/regions (such as advice you provided related to outreach in
>> certain area because of tension with governments)?  If so, how should ICANN

>>
>> 4)        Do you have suggestions related to groups already existing

>> outreach activities that should be or would be interested in ICANN’s
>> outreach plans and the deliverables of our work?
>>
>> 5)        Do you have any suggestions or thoughts about the creation of
