make to its public participation processes to facilitate greater
engagement by developing world
stakeholders?</FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>Reduce the information overload barrier to entry. The current
approach is in effect to throw people into the deep end of the pool and say
ok, learn to swim. This is not how government staff and many others
from developing countries experience their entree into other
international institutions dealing with Internet and ICT issues, and the
noticeable contrast can be alienating. I've had ministry and NGO
people say they can't figure out where to start, it's too overwhelming, and
you can't just pop in, sample, and figure out what's most relevant like you
might elsewhere, it feels like an up front long-term commitment to full body
immersion is required. So revamp the maddeningly newbie-unfiendly info
architecture and content of the website, or at least provide a parallel
track that defines issues and their interrelationships in a digestible form
and then allows people to build their knowledge from step a to b to c.
Maybe hire a couple staffers to serve as sherpa or focal points
with an explicit "there are no dumb questions" mandate, and/or have a
volunteer buddy system—ongoing and for meetings. Expand translation
support. Figure out some way to prepare people for the cultural style
aspect—discussions in ICANN are much more aggressive and challenging (and, I
am routinely told, "American") than what many people are used to from their
home cultures or other international spaces they work in.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Significantly expand outreach and capacity building efforts. I
agree with Tim that the roving meetings are insufficient for this purpose,
particularly given the nature of the agendas and the difficulties of trying
to plug in and play (although they can be used as platforms, e.g. NCSG is
having a meeting with East African noncommercial actors in Nairobi the night
before Constituency Day, which some will hopefully feel inspired to attend).
One or two annual regional seminars of a capacity building nature
would be really helpful (could in parallel reduce regular meetings to two,
or stop the roaming). Could also make better use of other
opportunities like the IGF; currently, ICANN does a ninety minute open forum
that's a quick show and tell of the basic institutional lay out and current
issues, but it could be doing more extended capacity building sessions.
Partner with bodies that provide education and capacity building.
Commission an book/manual that maps stuff out in a manner that works
for educators and end users (and do NOT call it ICANN for Dummies...there's
a lot of sensitivity about being talked down to, I've sat with developing
country government and NGO folks in WSIS/IGF meetings and seen rather
adverse reactions to ISOC presentations etc). </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>More generally, recognize that improvements to the PPP can only get us
so far as long as the larger political problems are not addressed.
While there's been progress in expanding GAC and drawing developing country
people to in-region meetings, there are still widespread perceptions out
there that suppress engagement and inter alia steer people toward
intergovernmental bodies as the places to address Internet issues, including
some that are in ICANN's turf. This is especially the case with
ministry of communication and foreign affairs types; many Group of 77
representatives (it's actually 130 countries now, including China) will tell
you their governments don't participate because they don't want to
"legitimate ICANN," that ICANN is dominated by the US government and US
corporations so their interests could never get a fair hearing, that ICANN
still needs to be made subject to some sort of intergovernmental oversight
or be replaced for certain functions, etc. So there's a need for some
soft power and diplomatic engagement, cultivation of in
country-constitutencies (including other government
ministries), recruitment of developing country people into visible
leadership positions across the organization, and on and on. By
themselves, a better web site, more translation services, travel grants, and
so on aren't going to win hearts and minds and build support and engagement;
a holistic strategy is needed.</DIV>

needs to better reflect the global topography of Internet usage or there
will be all kinds of ramifications over time. A few options might
include:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Consider establishing some sort of identifiable home for development in
the ICANN nexus, even if small. Signaling is important, and almost
every relevant intergovernmental body has a development branch or office of
some sort. And has development promotion as an explicit part of its mission.
Yes ICANN is not the UN and its mission should not be greatly
expanded, but it is an international body that sets policies that
affect developing countries, and there's no place tasked with identifying
and suggesting approaches to development concerns. Could be
centralized, or feed into/support efforts at the SO/AC level (e.g. the
nascent development interest group in NCSG). </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Add a development session as a regular feature of the meeting
programs.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Where relevant, factor a development assessment into the decision
making process as a standard element, so that when pricing of new gTLDs or
EOIs or vertical integration or whatever is being addressed, questions about
the possible impact across developing countries (recognizing there's great
heterogeneity in that category) are at least considered, maybe even
addressed through special provisions etc. </DIV>

the needs of the least developed countries are different from those of upper

the other top priorities in the LDCs, it could liaise with organizations
that are where issues relevant to its mission are part of the mix. And
per the above, undertake some targeted efforts to identify the special needs
of LDCs with respect to its operations, support or provide capacity
building, help cultivate communities of interest, etc. </DIV>

[soac-discussion] Public Participation Committee public session,
invitation for SO/AC leaders' participation<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Dear SO and AC leaders:
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>On Wednesday 10th from 1600-1730 local time in Nairobi, the
Board's Public Participation Committee will hold its public
meeting.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The PPC has asked me to ask you if a representative from each
of the ACs and SOs would care to be a part of the session by
participating in a panel, alongside the members of the PPC, to lead
the discussion of the various items on the agenda, and
of course to participate in the discussion directly. If one of you,
or someone you wish to nominate from your community, is unable to
attend in-room we can arrange for you to be able to
participate remotely via audio bridge.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The full agenda may be found at <A
href="http://nbo.icann.org/node/8950"
target=_blank>http://nbo.icann.org/node/8950</A>; I have not
pasted it below since the hyperlinks would not be usable
and as you will see when you browse the agenda the hyperlinks are
quite integral to the whole. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Finally, I hope you will accept my apologies in advance for
posting the agenda assuming that some members of the SOs and
ACs would be willing to participate as described. Given the subject,
it seemed that I would be on safe ground to make that
assumption.</DIV>
