<div dir="ltr">Don,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>With regards to the full day workshop on the Sunday of the ICANN meeting in Buenos Aires, I would simply suggest that the choice of day is unfortunate.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If the objective is to address the workshop to ICANN regulars, many are still straggling in on Sunday after a long airflight to Argentina.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If the objective is to engage local and regional people who could be instrumental in fixing UA non-resolving problems, Sunday is not a day most of them would dedicate to come to a workshop on something they are most probably unaware of.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would recommend a 4 hour workshop on the Thursday morning, before the Public Forum, or on the Friday morning, one hour each for the four groups working in the UASG.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If the workshop can take place on a weekday, I can commit to involve the overall network of contacts in LAC that I have access to, and am sure the ICANN LAC</div>
<div>VP (Rodrigo de la Parra) and the ICANN LAC Strategy Group would be interested in assisting this effort.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>IMHO we need to bring to the workshop:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- The ISP and Connectivity Community (complaints of UA non-resolving TLDs will </div>
<div> land up on their call centers.)</div>
<div>- The software development industry clusters and associations, including APPs</div>
<div> developers and interactive online portal developers and implementers.</div>
<div>- University IT educators</div>
<div>- The IT network equipment industry</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Other suggestions on invitees are important.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In addition, and to avoid the workshop having an "exploratory" look and feel, we should be able to present specific instances of non-resolving TLDs as reported by affected registries (e.g.Donuts - problems with home banking online), that have been diagnosed
and acted upon all the way to resolution. Two or three examples would suffice, and are essential for clear understanding of what UA is trying to achieve.</div>
<div><br>
