>> Activities since Prague:
>> 
>> 1. Outreach effort to international not-for-profit organizations  that have

>> Telecentre.org<http://Telecentre.org> and World Summit Award
>> 2. Creation of a Program committee. Call for nominations and an evaluation

>> Programs Committe, of Poncelet Ileleji from The Gambia and of Olivier Kouami

>> 3. Lively debate on npoc-voice re protection of INGOs and NGOs in general,

>> 4. We have designed a 2-year NPOC outreach strategy
>> 5. We applied for and were granted a side session slot at the IGF meeting in
>> Baku and will deliver the contents in collaboration with NCUC. The side
>> session theme is the importance of civil society to Internet governance.

>> steady basis, the bulk of our new members being from developing countries
>> and emerging economies. We estimate the latter to represent about 30% of our

>> numbers remain modest by any measure;
>> 8. We are planning a robust involvement in WSIS 2013 in partnership with the
>> Global Knowledge Partnership Foundation; I will know more when I report to
>> you again in Beijing.
>> 
>> Hihglights from Toronto:
>> 
>> 1.  This morning we held a 90 minutes panel session on the subject of
>> "Multi-Stakeholder Models" in collaboration with At Large colleagues. We had
>> excellent presentations by Dr Sam Lanfranco, professor emeritus at York U.
>> Here in Toronto, by Rinalia Abdul Rahim and Evan Leibovitch from At-Large.
>> It was a frank success and we are planning follow up events in Geneva and
>> Beijing in 2013;
>> 2. I'm sad to report that 3 of our African members could not join us here in
>> Toronto for reasons of visa difficulties; I have also accepted the
>> resignation of our Vice-chair Lori Shulman for personal reasons. We are very
>> sorry to lose her extremely valuable expertise and warmly wish her good luck
>> on her future challenges. We will appoint an interim vIce-chair until we can
>> effect our NPOC charter provisions to appoint an elected replacement.
>> 3. We had planned to have a second session in Toronto on the subject of "the
>> Impact of new gTLDs on the NFP/NGO communities";  but panelists were unable
>> to find a time slot where they could all be present.
>> 
>> Thanks for your attention.
