<br>
Greetings. It seems to be time that we start working to implement
the event for NGO's during the ICANN Marrakesh meeting. We had an
event planned for Dublin which we could not implement for various
reasons but I think the structure and concept of the event is
still sound: <br>

Personally, I think the first event structure is the best,
but please let us know which you prefer and also who you
think we should ask to speak and how we can get as many
local and remote NGO's involved as possible. I will also
send out soon a doodle pool, to determine the date for a
conference call to start planning and implementing things. <br>
<br>
Looking forward to your ideas and responses,<br>
<br>
Yours<br>
<br>
Klaus<br>

<div class="">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..</div>

<div class="">Dear Thomas<br class="">
<br class="">
Greetings and Thanks for your email. 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="">

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?
This could be an opportunity to discuss various DNS issues
and and the roll out of certain new gTLDs including the
.NGO / .ONG.<br class="">
<br class="">
I note that the next COP Climate Summit is taking place in
Marrakech in November 2016 - a big year for NGOs in the
country and broader region.<br class="">
