[NCSG-PC] Preparing for Johannesburg Meeting

[Ayden Férdeline]

Hi Rafik,

Thanks so much for getting the ball rolling on this. On your first point, I would like to suggest that we have this call two weeks before Johannesburg. In the week before, NCUC members might be preparing for the NCUC outreach event, if not in transit to South Africa. In terms of dates, the staff-led policy update webinar is on Thursday, 15 June. I am free every day that week for our call so will wait to hear the preferred date/time of others.

Best wishes, Ayden

Hi all,

the ICANN59 meeting is just 4 weeks away and it is time to prepare for it since it is policy forum and so mainly about policy.

* Prior to the meeting
we usually have our NCSG call prior to a council meeting but we will have at least 6 weeks gap to our last call. One idea would be to organize a prep meeting 1 or 2 weeks prior to Johannesburg to give a briefing about the main topics to be discussed there, sessions etc. that should be from NCSG standpoint since there is also the usual ICANN meeting policy webinar organized by the staff. both are complementary for our members. there will be also the usual policy background briefing prepared from GNSO staff.

I am also thinking about organizing 1 webinar for one topic that we select and that we think important. any suggestion for a topic we should cover?

* During the meeting
we have to discuss the agenda for the policy committee session and what we should cover. I should share a draft agenda for discussion soon.
We may also have some informal session to share information and prepare for the sessions of the day

thoughts?

Best,

Rafik
