Dear ATRT2 members,<div><br></div><div>Mark Carvel, the UK's GAC represetnative is planning a trainning session with Commonwelath countries for Durban and I want to share with you some ideas we have exchanged on a structured apporach for government outreach. Back in San Jose we did a one day meetings for Latin Internet Policy makers with both, ICANNs and ISOCs Boards. And we plan to repeat the training for Buenos Aires. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I guess some of our team members can add a lot to a Commonwealth Governmets Meeting in Durban.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards</div><div>Carlos Raul<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>

<div><span>Dear Carlos<br></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks and yes very happy for you to share this in order to coordinate the outreach. I haven't finalised my thinking about the agenda for the Commonwealth session in Durban but this will likely include sharing views on and contributions to the ATRT2 review from the Commonwealth's perspective on Internet governance and development in particular, as well as an overview of the role of governments in ICANN and GAC working methods. I'm also hoping the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO) will be able to attend this meeting as GAC observer having spoken about this recently to their Corporate Secretary, Lasantha de Alwis . I'l<var></var>l keep you informed. </div>

<div><div>Re: Outreach to Governments
<div><br></div>
<div>Dear Mark,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I fully support your initiative to directly contact Governments which are not participating in GAC for the time being. Particularly a public meeting in Africa is the right time to reach out for absent African Governments.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Also within ATRT2 there is great interest in contacting Governments to get feedback on the Accountability and Transparency process. But if they are still many Governments which are not even participating in GAC we cannot expect a substantial feedback.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Last but not least, also last week just across the street in Geneva, ICANN Chairman of the Board, its CEO and his advisors on international relations, where holding bilateral meetings with delegations to ITUs WTPF13. I was myself invited to one with my Vice Minister and I tried to focus on the particular case of our ccTLD and its impact on our local ecosystem. Neither GAC nor ITU on the agenda.</li>
</ul></div>
<div>In other words, Governments is too large a subject in terms of ICANN: it is not always the same the Telecom Minister participating in ITU conferences, to the representatives to GAC, to the local institutions dealing with domestic internet issues like country codes and IXPs or in other international Fora like WYSIS or IGF.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>In this new and welcomed efforts to develop a good international face to ICANN, I think a good dose of coordination and strategic approach is necessary between Board, GAC and Staff in terms of outreach efforts, so not to frighten away some good candidates for GAC participation. And I hope you don´t mind me sharing this message with the other members of ATRT2 of which heather and myself are part, but please confirm before I do it.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Best regards</div>
</div><div><br>

<div><span>Many thanks, Jeannie, for confirming the dates. </span>There has been some speculation about a possible two-day Board-GAC meeting specifically on implementation and clarification of the new GTLDs advice, to be held before the start of the GAC meeting, i.e. 11-12 July.

<div><div>
<div>Dear GAC, </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>As we are getting closer to the GAC meetings in Durban, South Africa please note the following information to assist in your planning. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The GAC will start meeting at 14:00 on Saturday 13 July. There is a possibility that a capacity building session for interested GAC members may take place on 13 July at 10:30 before the regular GAC meetings being that afternoon. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The GAC will meet on its regular schedule, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and the morning of Thursday in Durban. On Thursday morning the GAC will have a briefing from Architelos regarding the Domain name market. This session was tentatively scheduled for Beijing, and was postponed in order for the GAC to complete its work on GAC Safeguard Advice. There will be an opportunity for the GAC to compile questions for Architelos and comments on the agenda items and topics to be covered during this briefing.</div>
