	I too would be very interested in this.  I've been inter alia
trying to encourage formation of a Development interest group in the
NCSG, have organized three IGF workshops on development and Internet
governance, will be writing about it for the UN, etc...

			Please see below a very late request for GNSO
participation in a panel that will be discussing the following in
Nairobi:
			 
			"a) What are the three most important
improvements ICANN can make to its public participation processes to
facilitate greater engagement by developing world stakeholders? 

			b) Should ICANN incorporate a greater focus on
the developing world in its work and if so, how?

			c) How can the work of ICANN be given greater
relevance where there is low Internet density per capita - and what
priority should be given to reaching stakeholders in countries with the
lowest Internet connection density? (see the World Bank statistical link
under "Materials and References" below to look up statistical
information of the kind referenced)."


			Note that this conflicts with the "Registration
Abuse Policies Initial Report Information Session" on Wednesday
afternoon in Nairobi. 

			Because of the late notice on this, it really is
not possible to develop a GNSO position on the issues to be discussed,
so I believe the best we can do is to identify a volunteer who would for
the most part participate in a personal capacity and attempt to
represent to the best of her/his ability what they understand to be
views of GNSO community members.

			Is there anyone who would be interested and
willing to participate on this panel in Nairobi?  Please respond as soon
as possible if you are interested. It might be helpful if any volunteers
would provide brief personal answers to the three questions to allow
other Councilors to comment between now and 10 March and thereby obtain
a little broader GNSO input before the session.

			Chuck

			Subject: [soac-discussion] Public Participation
Committee public session, invitation for SO/AC leaders' participation
			
			
			Dear SO and AC leaders: 

			On Wednesday 10th from 1600-1730 local time in
Nairobi, the Board's Public Participation Committee will hold its public
meeting.

			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.

			The full agenda may be found at
http://nbo.icann.org/node/8950; 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. 

			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.
