Debbie other than the comments posted to the list I haven't received any
direct emails regarding recommendations for outreach contacts in various
organizations.  Lets talk about specific steps to moving this forward at
tomorrow's meeting.

 

Best Regards,

Dear Debbie,
see my comments to your questions included in the text below.
See you in our meetings.

2010/6/4 <HughesDeb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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? 


Workshops should de developed focusing on those issues that are more
relevant in relation with the context where they are organized. So in
this sense IDNs should be high priority in countries where this is
needed, new gtlds general information could be useful in developing
countries, etc.
As I have mentioned before, a closer and permanent relationship with
universities must be developed, specially in developing countries. For
example I teach in engineering schools where they have no idea about the
existence of ICANN, root servers and general Internet coordination, so
this permanent relationship must be developed in order to establish a
permanent flow of information between ICANN and the professorships. This
will also help the development of teaching material and content in
several languages and also will help developing a local vision of the
different topics.

        b.       What the workshop materials should contain?


This was answered in my previous answer. 

        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?


ICANN shoud strongly partner some very successful and pioneer projects
that are happening now in some regions.
I want to specially mention one of them that I lead in Latin America,
thanks Rafik for pointing this, which is the South School on Internet
Governance. With the help of some companies and organizations that
contribute to a fellowship program several students and young
profesionals from the Latin American Region are granted a fellowship to
participate in a one week intensive training program where they meet
aprox 25 speciallist from Europe, USA, Latin America and from the
hosting country.
The first SSIG was organized in Buenos Aires Argentina in 2009 (in the
ITBA UNiversity an engineering school) and the second was organized in
Sao Paulo Brazil.
ICANN particpated making a presentation.
Their role should be much more active and they should engage more of
their key representatives in the program. We as organizers are much open
to this.
General purpose, program and other details of the SSIG can be found in 
www.south-ssig.com.ar

 

        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?


I would like to mention that in relation with Latin America, ICANN
outreach activity is mainly focused  in the support of ccTLD training
programs and events, which is very good but much limited from a broader
perspective.
I think that ICANN involvement should be more open including other
issues, being active in other events and activities that are also
relevant to the region.
 

        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 think it is a very good idea, there is a lot of experience among many
members of the ICANN community that could be used in developing an
outreach strategy. 

        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.

        Hello,

         

        @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
the workshop, outreach areas, and any other suggestions. Sub team
members also should send any ideas on the Committee concept to Debbie.

         

        can you please let me know what are you expecting for those
actions in few 

        points?
