Dear all,

Action - Jean-Jacques to liaise with Thomas Schneider and Tarek Kamel on involving GAC representatives / governments from the region
Action - all encouraged to approach the European commission to ask them for help for travel funding
Action - proposals for panels / workshops for the SEE Roundtable to be submitted by mid-February.

Thanks,
Jean-Jacques


1.       RNIDS conference, Belgrade, 10-11 March 2015
Originally only for local cc registries, now wider, this event could attract up to 200 attendees from across stakeholder groups. ICANN Board member Mike Silber and VP Europe Jean-Jacques Sahel will be speaking at the event, including on IANA


2.       Meetings before Eurodig during 'Bulgarian Internet Week', 1-5 June
Local industry is planning meetings in Ruse (40 people) and Verna (100 people). This will be mainly about the domain name business, and technical issues, but also internet Governance more widely.
Local community is thinking of calling the first week of June the 'Bulgarian internet Week'.


3.       Other regional events
There will be a workshop on 23 February in Bucharest, organised by NGO Apti, about the Multi-stakeholder model, to explain it to local community.


4.       SEE Roundtable, Sofia, 3 June
Proposals for the SEE roundtable should be sent by mid February, Go to eurodig.org for details and/or liaise with others in the ICANN SEE mailing list.
Sandra raised the issue of travel funding - we currently expect 50 people, to be funded by the Council of Europe and ICANN's CROPP programme, but not enough
It will be important to invite and involve especially government representatives to ICANN's GAC from the region. This has been discussed already with GAC chair Thomas Schneider and ICANN's Senior Adviser for Government Engagement Tarek Kamel.
