[Alac-sc-outreach] Fwd: Re: [EURO-Discuss] EURALO Outreach Strategic Plan - please comment

Mon Aug 21 22:51:01 UTC 2017

Hello all,

This is an interesting discussion. Having read the comments, I want to also
acknowledge that indeed there is too much information. Getting people to
first get engaged in ICANN is the easier part, but getting them to stay
engaged is a challenge.

I find the beginner's guide as shared by Olivier is very useful. I read
through it before my first ICANN meeting. The information is still hard for
someone to take in at once (as Maureen mentioned) but it can be divided
into smaller bits. The ICANN Learn courses good as they are self-paced.

It is a dilemma! Videos are great but some people do not have unlimited
bandwidth and would prefer to save videos for later or find alternatives.
So a mix of text, videos, images is great.

We just have to continuously engage, never giving up. In most cases when
you stay long enough, then you begin to make sense of the discussions. The
catch is to get someone to stay that long.

Regards,

Sarah
