If the cyber workshop will focus on cyber security, I am willing to help.

I would support both cyber and multistakeholder workshops.

Cyber focus will be interesting as we will just have come out of GCCS2017.

Multistakeholder could focus on working models at national and regional
levels - and how we promote them.

Strongly support the cybersecurity idea, and might even drag myself to
Geneva if we get it on the agenda.

Hi

As the next IGF is in Geneva and will likely draw a larger than usual
participation by governments (e.g. national mission people who do ITU, WTO,
WIPO, etc.) and intergovernmental organization staff/leaders that have been
consistently skeptical of if not openly hostile to ICANN and
multistakeholder cooperation, it might be worth considering a proposal that
speaks more to the geopolitical ‘big issues’ that are still on minds here
in UN-land.  For example, I could imagine a very useful if properly
structure assessment of the comparative strengths and weaknesses of
multistakeholder vs multilateral institutions and under which circumstances
one would want to choose one vs. the other or a blend.  Alternatively, or
as a subtheme of this, a session on how and to what extent/effect
governments are able to participate in multistakeholder processes could be
helpful (a dominant belief remains that governments are inappropriately
marginalized in ICANN and more ‘adult supervision’ is needed). Another
juicy one might be ‘cybersecurity’, which the ITU and may governments have
construed as being entirely outside the realm of Internet governance and
therefore something the ITU can lay claim to; SSAC-type issues could be
highlighted to show that multistakeholder solutions are an important part
of the mix.  In contrast, deep dives on individual ICANN issues like RDS
are important to us but may be less likely to draw in the folks who a) have
no idea what such issues mean and why they matter, and b) could use some
exposure to the ‘alternative facts’ they believe that might help broaden
their perspectives.

Of course it doesn’t have to be either/or, NCSG and its constituencies
could propose several workshops and see which the MAG accepts.  We’ve had
pretty good luck thus far, at least I don’t recall a NCSG or NCUC proposal
ever being turned down, so more than one bite at the apple is possible.

Lastly, we might want to consider something for Day 0 that is cast more
directly in outreach terms.  In any event, my point is we might want to try
to leverage the location’s rather specific properties.  And if enough of us
will be here, I could reserve a bar or resto to do an NCUC party...

Best

That is a good topic, and one which should happen, but I think we as the
NCSG should be pitching a workshop on a topic which falls within ICANN's
remit.

May I suggest to work on supporting national IGFs as the basic structure of
IGF.

It would be great to keep up the momentum re: building privacy into
the Registration Directory Service. A workshop which explores where the
WHOIS protocol has come from, what WHOIS is today, why it is problematic
from the perspective of privacy (along with how it enables doxxing), and
how it is evolving – for better or for worse – would, in my view, be
extremely useful. That said, if we don't have Stephanie on the ground in
Geneva to lead this conversation and to offer evidence-informed rebuttals
to the perspectives other stakeholders bring to the table, its
effectiveness for us would be diminished...

Dear all,

NCSG has been organizing workshops in Internet Governance Forum, IGF,

for a while now, and we could do so again this year.

But if we want ICANN funding for it we must apply soon

If you have ideas for a workshop and are willing to work to make it

happen, please let me know. As Special Budget Request deadline has

been moved to January 30 and we need time to consider proposals,

please submit your proposal by 23:59 UTC next Tuesday, Jan 24.

If you have less-than-complete proposal or even just a vague idea,

that's welcome, too, I can try help turn that into complete proposal,

but in that case please contact me as ASAP - the sooner the better.

Thank you,
