commerce. The ICC has helped organize events in the past. Many companies simply aren’t aware of the important role that ICANN plays and the impact it can have on their businesses. Maybe the increased focus on Internet Governance may change that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Our approach has been to bring ICANN to the events and places were businesses are already present and/ or to organize events during the ICANN meeitngs with local together with leading organizations
that can bring their members to an appealing ICANN event during the meeting. I think many of us share these views. And we have been quite successful with this kind of approach in the past. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US">Most previous events have seen a very low turnout of local business leaders.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US">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></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US">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></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US">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></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US">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.
