[Gnso-sc-budget] GSE blog post

[Ayden Férdeline]

Hi all,

Sharing for information purposes a blog post that appeared on the ICANN website today (emphasis added):

https://www.icann.org/news/blog/outreach-engagement-leading-into-icann-62

"...Recently, the ICANN Global Stakeholder Engagement (GSE) team supported a visit by ICANN CEO Göran Marby and CTO David Conrad to the Russian Federation. Read more about that trip. The team also participated in many events recently, including Internet Day in El Salvador; CITEL in Peru; the IX Regional Forum in Brazil; LACNIC29 in Panama; the Middle East DNS Forum in Turkey; EuroDIG in Georgia; a law enforcement workshop in Botswana; National ICT Week in Kenya; Transform Africa Summit in Rwanda; FRATEL 2018 in Madagascar; the Global IPv6 Summit in Beijing; NamesCon India; the 24th Internet Governance Conference Japan; and the Kuwait Information Security Conference, among other events. We also participated in DNSSEC workshops in Ankara, Brunei, Cambodia, Hong Kong and Mongolia."

I also gather from [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Vianny_UribeD/status/1009153396576849920) that GSE is in the Dominican Republic today for an ICT Symposium, and in the United Kingdom earlier in the week for the Commonwealth ICT Ministers Forum, where it so happens ICANN is the "[gold sponsor.](https://twitter.com/ICANN/status/1008612196354437120)"

There was also a comment on the [CCWG-IG mailing list](https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/ccwg-internet-governance/2018-June/003157.html) today that "ICANN is contemplating joining the ITU as a sector member." According to the [ITU website](https://www.itu.int/en/join/Pages/fees.aspx), the annual fee to be a sector member is CHF 71,550.

I know that there have been some questions around where the GSE engages, so I thought this information was worth sharing.

Best wishes,

Ayden Férdeline
