[Npoc-discuss] Special event for NGOs during ICANN Marrakech meeting

[Thomas Mackenzie]

Thank you, Klaus. This is very encouraging. I shall start thinking about possible speakers for such an event. In the meantime, here’s a list of NGOs active in Morocco. Obviously this is only a subset of the organisations that are active across the broader region, but a start..

All the best,
Tom

NPOC has made some organizational arrangements that give us the possibility to arrange for events, but this is just the organizational platform. What we need to do now is to put some flesh on the bones. I therefor would like to invite you all to make some recommendation with regard to the topics, rationale, structure and even possible speakers for specific speakers. We should collect these suggestions and then decide on which to implement and how. May I suggest that the deadline for suggestions is the 10th of January 2016 and that we will then arrange for a call to discuss proposals.
