Internet Governance Webinar Conversation Opportunity With ICANN Senior 
Executives

Dear SOAC Leaders;

Based on recent discussions within the broader community and your feedback over 
the past couple of weeks regarding the Montevideo statement,  we think it would 
be most useful to have a community call before everyone departed for the ICANN 
Public Meeting in Buenos Aires to discuss recent Internet governance 
developments – specifically the Montevideo statement - and plans for a broader 
Internet stakeholder meeting in Brazil next year.

Fadi has had or is planning a few individual conversations with community 
groups, but we thought some broader community engagement opportunities with 
ICANN senior executives would also be helpful so that Fadi, Tarek and Theresa 
could:


§  Provide background and context of the recent I-Star discussions leading to 
the Montevideo statement;

§  Explain the Board/Staff partnership in this effort;

§  Explain what has been done to date and share perceptions of the recent 
IGF-Bali meeting; and

§  Highlight next steps/prep plans for Brazil next April.

As a result, we have arranged for two community webinars scheduled for next 
Friday, 8 November at 1200 UTC and 1900 UTC so that the team can share its 
thoughts and field community questions and comments.  We are scheduling two 
separate sessions to cover the global geographic spread of the community and 
hope that you will be able to share information about the opportunity with your 
communities.

Each session will be an hour long and any questions or comments that the team 
can’t get to on the calls will be saved for further discussion in Buenos Aires.

To help the team prepare for the sessions, please feel free to share any 
pre-session questions that you have with me.  I will pass them on to the ICANN 
Strategy Team in preparation for the sessions.

Best regards,

David
