[council] Fwd: GNSO and Adopt a School -donate a used laptop

[Heather Forrest]

Dear Council colleagues,

An initiative is underway to support the local community in Puerto Rico
through donations of laptops. I only had a brief chat with Glenn McKnight
about this, but what little I heard sounded promising, particularly in
light of the recent circumstances in Puerto Rico.

Is this something that we as the GNSO Council would like to pursue further?
Or perhaps within SGs/Cs? Please give your thoughts so we can determine
next steps, if any.

Best wishes,

Heather

Hi  Heather

As per our short conversation at ICANN 60  I mentioned that we working
requesting that  ICANN participants consider bringing a used laptop or
phone to San Juan in March.   The  host organization .PR and ISOC PR are
working on the logistics for selecting the schools and distribution of the
laptops

We are asking folks to  remove all their data, reformat the system.  Our
volunteers will install Linux and other Open Source software

We spoke with  Goran and Nick Tomasso on ICANN support and involvement and
perhaps they can coordinate with their communication team supportive
information.   We expect an information page in spanish and English soon.

Please let your community know about the initiative

Thanks

Glenn McKnight
