Fwd: [council] Open Board Sessions 6 and 7 May

[Ayden Férdeline]

Hi,

I have removed Anja's email address as I don't know why she was cc'd.

The point is, no one knows what is being discussed because the extent of the agenda that was posted online was one line of text.

I am grateful that remote participation is available so that we can listen in on the Board's deliberations and conversations — but this is not a dialogue, we cannot raise questions, correct the record, or interact with the Board in any way. So I would like to know who is briefing them, what they will be discussing, and how they think the activities of the IGF relate to ICANN's core activities.

Hi Ayden,

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.

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.

Best,
-Michael

Thank you for sharing this agenda, Stephanie. The session titled, "Internet Governance Engagement Strategy with a Focus on the Internet Governance Forums (IGFs): Proposal to the Board" sounds very interesting. I wonder what this proposal entails?
