they don't

involved in

in all their

From small

the number of

Ireland is
growing. That
includes
former Board

Dennis

Registrar

Neylon of

former staffer

yours truly,

NCUC star
James Gannon.
You can expect
to see us and
a great Irish
contingent at
the Dublin

yes, the
national
stereotypes
are pretty
much all true;
we will be the
ones at the b</span>ar

delighted to

lang="EN-US">This
series of
events and the
formal birth
of SEEDIG
marked an
important
anniversary:
It brought us
back to just
12 months
before, when a
handful of
ICANN
'regulars'
from the
region met
informally
during the
ICANN 50
London
meeting. We've
all known for
a while that
the SEE
community in
ICANN is
vibrant and
full of
dynamic,
dedicated
characters,
but we all
knew that more
could be done
to strengthen
it. So we
created what
started as a
simple mailing
list:
ICANN-SEE. It
grew from an
initial 10
members to
close to 100
today, and has
helped members
exchange
ideas, promote
events,
recruit
speakers and
panelists for
public
meetings,
events and so
on. The
result? An
increasingly
growing number
of activities,
networks and
contacts
across the
region, with
events growing
larger in
attendance,
from Belgrade
to Bucharest,
from Varna to
SEEDIG in
Sofia. Suffice
to say, the
simple mailing
list grew to
so much more.
Going
forwards, we
are excited to
see many more
such
activities
being lined
up: the first
Bosnian IGF,
the Domain
Name Forum
reconvening in
Sofia in
December (see
details
below), and we
are already
looking
forward to
events in
Bucharest,
Belgrade,
Skopje and
more in 2016.

effort to help
inspire and
engage members
