To answer your question: "Yes" and "Certainly". 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.<br class=""><br class="">Looking forward to your suggestions<br class=""><br class="">Yours<br class=""><br class="">Klaus<br class=""><br class="">On 12/18/2015 12:24 PM, Thomas Mackenzie wrote:<br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">Hello all,<br class=""><br class="">Do you think it could be envisaged to organise some kind of event for NGOs in the Morocco / North Africa region (and beyond) during the next ICANN meeting in Marrakech?
