Hi Maureen,

Yes, thanks for this - that is a very important question indeed, something
we¹d like to be clear about in coming up with the plan. So what the team
have currently in this draft plan is as below (this being open for public
comment, please do feel free to comment on it :) ).

For the purposes of this plan, Œcivil society¹ includes Non-Governmental
Organisations (NGOs), [representatives of] non-commercial individual
Internet end-users, and academia, in particular those with interests in
Internet-related policy and research. Within ICANN, this will include the
GNSO Non Commercial Stakeholder Group (NSCG, with both of its components the
Non Commercial Users Constituency NCUC, and the Not-for-Profit Operational
Concerns Constituency NPOC), as well as the At- Large community represented
by regional At Large Structures (ALS) that self-identify as civil society.
Not for profit organizations that serve for profit/commercial interests
would not be within scope.  (Relations with academia will be handled in
coordination with the Development Public Responsibility Department (DPRD)
academic relations activities).


Regards,
Kelvin

Just out of interest. How do you define the difference between civil society
and At-Large?

Dear APRALO members,

 

>From mid 2015, we've launched a new draft approach to civil society
engagement - a new approach being developed in consultation with many civil
society organizations. The strategy focuses on raising awareness of ICANN
and the Domain Name System (DNS) among global civil society at large, and
encourages and supports contributions to and participation in ICANN policy
processes by civil society volunteers. The strategy will also make clear to
civil society the benefits of working with ICANN.

 

Among others, the strategy is proposing:
* A new communications strategy tailored to civil society, this incudes
social media, regular summaries of ICANN policy, webinars and briefings,
dedicated website and mailing lists
* New content, developed mainly by ICANN civil society, about the work
relevant to civil society being done in ICANN
* Information about how to contribute in this strategy consultation will be
available via the NCSG and other ICANN civil society organizations
 

Comments are now open through 11 December at:

Looking forward to your views on this.  Thank you.
