I can assure you that the dialogue around the appropriate
targets, remit, and actions for ICANN civil society
awareness raising and engagement is ongoing. It is fair to
say that while there is some cooperation between the NCSG
constituency (we NPOC in particular) and ICANN there is no
consensus on how this should be done. This is part of why
NPOC is also looking to collaboration and event
partnerships with others beyond ICANN for NGO/Civil
Society outreach for awareness and engagement. There is an
ongoing challenge here.<br>

and the NCSG have different remits. I would ask those in
the NCSG leadership ensure that ICANN staff understand the
role of the individual end user in the NCSG and resist
staff efforts to marginalise or otherwise ignore this
vital component of the NCSG as they promote, with thanks,
continued and increased civil society involvement.</small></i></font></div>
