Thanks Debbie, are we going to have a  document summarizing all
contributions before Brussels?

Maybe Olga can confirm that we will have an update for the GNSO council?

 

Regards

        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.

         

        I will try to send more comments later

        Regards

        Thanks, Rafik.  We are ready to put substance to our outreach
recommendations for groups and constituencies.  It would be very helpful
if you could provide specific recommendations, suggestions and ideas
related to: 

         

        1)        Materials and content that be used to introduce new
ICANN participants to the nuances related to involvement in ICANN.  For
example, Michael suggested creating an "ICANN for Dummies" workshop and
related workshops and materials.  Do you have recommendations for 

        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 outreach process/plan?  Are there specific concerns with
outreach in certain countries/regions (such as advice you provided
related to outreach in certain area because of tension with
governments)?  If so, how should ICANN manage those?

        4)        Do you have suggestions related to groups already
existing within ICANN (like ICANN's Global Partnerships group) that are
interested in 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 an Outreach Committee?  Is it a good idea?  If so, who
should be their direction, composition, etc.

         

        I am in the middle of a work-related conference call and doing
this while engaging in serious multi-taking, so I apologize in advance
for typos or if this is unclear and rambling.

        @Michael @Debbie

                Action: Prior to the next meeting on Friday, 11 June,
Task 2 sub team members should provide input to Michael via the list on
