<p class="MsoNormal">Elisa,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the call today, you asked for opinions and guidance of where Chris Mondni should be going with the local Business Engagement events.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most previous events have seen a very low turnout of local business leaders.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I appreciate it is difficult to organize remotely but we need attendance of 100+ to make this worthwhile to do outreach for ICANN, for the BC, and for ourselves.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The only way is via local business organizations such as Chamber of Commerce and get them on board and excited anout a meeting for
<u>their members</u> that ICANN funds. It is an opportunity for their members to learn about ICANN and BC and meet us, the travelling business people in town.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am member of a number of chambers, and I am thinking about it from the other side. If it was properly and well advance promoted within the Chamber there would be a good turnout. Perhaps that needs a Chamber committee member well on
board. If not and the invite is just emails and phone calls then the chamber might just send a few along as a courtesy. I don’t know the organizational route to date but the outcome in the past has been the latter.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Again it may need a ICANN and/or BC member to make an advance visit to personally meet and present to the chamber committee and get them so on board.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Too late for Singapore but in time for London and LA.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best<o:p></o:p></p>
