[EC-NCSG] NCSG Beijing Communique

[Robin Gross]

I would like to edit and publish a NCSG communique for the Beijing  
meeting.  GAC issues a meeting communique at the beginning of each  
ICANN meeting.  RrSG Chair now issues a communique before the ICANN  
meeting too.  So why not NCSG too?  And it is a good way to present  
our concerns to the community and focus on a particular timely issue,  
using our own words and being able to frame the issue ourselves.  It  
could also be a great outreach tool for potential members and anyone  
who is interested in learning more about NCSG.  Do others think it  
would be a good idea to do?  The specifics of my draft proposal are  
below.   Any other thoughts or suggestions along these lines?  Anyone  
want to work with me on it?

Thanks,
Robin

NCSG Beijing Communique

One-page printed hand-out.  Front and back, so really two pages of text.

Request ICANN to print the hand-out.

Audience:  Participants at ICANN #46, especially new comers,  
potential members, anyone interested in learning more about NCSG's  
concerns and make-up.  Also, NCSG members can take a small stack home

learning more about NCSG in the coming months.
