attendance to NamesCon? Even without a specific agenda item on acceptance, exposure to NamesCon will give a strong impression as to the vibrancy of the domain name ecosystem and the growing interest in domains of all shapes and sizes (from IDNs to cctlds,

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">For NamesCon this year some form of sessions for CIO's to help understand new TLDs are already baked in to the agenda, and I one of the primary focuses we have is to spread awareness of domain names, new and old. We'll have over 1000 people
there so we're not hurting for attendees, but having some CIOs be able to get exposure to Awareness/Acceptance is a shared goal.<br>
<br>
To hold something specifically for ICANN to speak on UA would be gratis because I already have the space, subject to availability within the current schedule. Akram is on the agenda to speak, which I think would be good for executive peers within the C-Suite
seeing Executive participation by ICANN. If we did a specific session to help educate on Acceptance I have some ideas I will sent in PM (however if there were costs like catering food beverage for a lunch or something like that it would require a sponsor
to cover those costs), as the co-founder I can do that, but if there were catering costs we would need to pass those through.<br>
<br>
This year the Consumer Electronics Show ends on 1/8 and NamesCon (NC16) begins 1/10. We will not have the show back to back with CES in future years, so perhaps CES itself is one to focus on in 2017, but UA discussion will always be welcome at NC17. <a href="https://www.cesweb.org/exhibitor" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">https://www.cesweb.org/exhibitor</span></a>
has all the information you would want for exhibitors or other participation.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am going to throw this out there as an idea about a great way to positively impact the UA (A= Acceptance/Awareness) with the authentic realization that it will be both stillborn and read as sarcasm.<br>
<br>
Just before NamesCon in January in Las Vegas is this little show called CES - that pulls in nearly 180,000 people - with CIOs abounding. IF ICANN spent a teensy weensy fraction of the interest on the nTLD auction proceeds, say, for example, they could get
space that week and announce and hold summits or workshops - and having a fairly solid presence during that event that might attract those CIOs to have the right conversations if aligned with some announcements and marketing.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am partially being sarcastic because I have a suspicion that this would be a challenge to get approval for in such a short span of time, not to mention that it is unlikely reasonably accomplished given the many coordination and messaging
steps that would have to happen to execute on this effectively so that it would be a wise spend.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">That said, I really wonder how many folks on this list saw what I wrote and said, 'OMG did he really say that... but WOW, You know, that is EXACTLY the type of action we need to see', and then spent a moment envisioning such an expenditure
of resources or time, realized the likelihood was minimal, and in a crestfallen manner resumed to look at mild volunteering efforts again.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The volunteering by so many in the community towards helping improve the situation is impressive, and appreciated, and my note is really more one to suggest that the path forward needs a bit of oomph so that CIOs will engage on this topic.
Or as I playfully say, we need something to get king 'Enry to peek up over the mutton leg they're gnawing.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was encouraged slightly by talk of a UA hack-a-thon for example, that's creative. CES instead of the Marrakech meeting would be a place to hold something like that. Or even NamesCon. Bring it. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Appreciating that approval for the budget to do something big at CES is not likely, instead I'd gladly make space available during the show for a UA (Acceptance) Hack-A-Thon. And we could all collectively invite CIOs to NamesCon on UA
(Awareness) to learn about the new naming options. They just stay a couple extra days in Las Vegas. Not a hard sell. UA (awareness) is one of the core principles of NamesCon already.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">As we move forward on the completion of our documentation, we’re looking for some community CIO’s to provide guidance about what should be in and what shouldn’t be in a CIO Guidebook.<br>
<br>
Our plan is to have a focus group of people that we know very well and who understand the issue but have the role of CIO or senior IT staff and can look at the documentation from that perspective.<br>
<br>
And after that, we will have a focus group of CIO’s from outside the industry who will be able to critique the result.<br>
<br>
So, if you’re a CIO, or know a CIO, and would be willing to read the existing documentation and provide feedback, would you please let me know.<br>
<br>
We’d like to try to do this through e-mail but we can organise a call if that will be useful.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
