[At-Large] Inviting Indian public to New Delhi meeting

Wed Jan 16 15:10:32 EST 2008

Hi Vanda, all

So far 114 of the 492 people that have pre-registered are from India.

That's 23 percent. Based on the data I have for nine ICANN meetings, the average local attendance is 33 percent (the highest was 53 percent). So I think there's some way to go. 

I'd also really like to see ICANN meetings take on a more regional feel in the sense that the issues most pertinent to that country or region form a part of the meeting agenda. After all, why else bother appearing all over the world three times a year?

But those regional agenda additions won't happen without the locals being involved. 

I am hoping to vastly improve my efforts so far with respect to this and make Paris a big opportunity for really involving people.

Looking at the list of registered people the majority is already from India, as far as I could read.

Can I ask how far people have got with involving the local community in the Delhi meeting?

I am trying to do the same thing in my role and have been putting in phonecalls and trying to get a feel for what is likely to most interest those living in Delhi.

If people have contacts or useful intelligence to share or they need a bit of organisational help, please don't hesitate to contact me.

All the best,

Kieren

I know many indians starting with people from the government and I am writing them to in some way to spread the information around the country ( mainly Chennay(Maddras) and Bangalore where the IT community is huge.
 I included Ramaraj into this solicitation.

Not easy to get general public to meetings held on week days, people 
work.  Think you have to be in the industry (in some way) to want to 
spend a week at ICANN even if it's in your home town. And it's a bit 
late for outreach to people from outside Delhi.

But I've written to Madan to see what he suggests, if he can write 
something up from the local IT media. blogs etc.

You could ask Ramaraj if he could get a note on the Sify home page 
(but that would be a bit like asking Vint to add a note about the LA 
meeting to google.com, but there might be local Delhi pages -- don't 
know how Sify is organized.)  Asking his advice would anyway make 
sense.  There seems to be an ISOC Delhi chapter.

Bit late to be thinking of this now.  Perhaps the EURALO could start 
planning some outreach for Paris?
