Overall, the board seemed to be very supportive of the idea to continue assisting with the IGF, but especially the national and regional initiatives. Moreover, they called on other organizations in the ecosystem to also step up their support. A screenshot of one of the notes from the slideshow is attached that shows the top 10 donors to the IGF (ICANN is number 5).</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">-Michael</font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

confusing place, even after over four years tracking things.
The issue you raise Michael reminds me of something I have
been meaning to ask....would it be helpful to have Frequently
Asked Questions up front on each activity/group on the website?
There is a great of ICANN staff support out there somewhere,
and I wonder if we as a community should try to focus that
support to help us get up to speed quickly on a process. FAQs
are good for that, especially if one has not checked in on
something for a while....and I would be happy to ask for them
if others might find them helpful.</font></font></p>

<div>Please also recognize the seemingly frustrating layers of

that there is no link between the board's WG on IG and the
CCWG-IG. </div>

<div>I agree, and marked it on my calendar
when I saw it without much thought about
it. In fact, I assumed it was simply a
continuation of the discussion that
began during the first face-to-face
meeting with the Cross-Community Working
Group on Internet Governance (CCWG-IG)
at ICANN58. Farzaneh noticed it as well,
however, and sent a message asking for
clarification to the CCWG-IG list. We'll
see what they say. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Either way, remote participation is
available as you can see, and I
personally encourage anyone involved in
a national and regional IGF initiative
(NRI) to participate since ICANN
involvement and sponsorship is often
critical to their success. The board
members in attendance in Copenhagen
seemed to agree, but providing direct
examples of how ICANN involvement helped
the NRIs will likely go a long way.</div>
