blink, blink and delicious?Hey! It's pretty bright outside the bunker. There are some interesting bits in the Cambridge Partnership Matters journal about the challenges of making multi-stakeholder forums work: http://www.cpi.cam.ac.uk/pccp/partnershipmatters.html Does anyone know of academic or think tank resources on this topic? Maybe we could make a delicious links reading list or knowledge pool of existing best practice and new ideas? cheers, Jacob. Caribbean Forum 1330 ThursdayEveryone, Hope to see you at this meeting!

Playing the catch-up game- African stylePLAYING THE CATCH UP GAME- AFRICAN STYLE But attending the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) meeting is not that easy for Odhiambo. In some of the sessions, he finds himself in unfarmiliar territory. Why ? afterall he is a techie ! Because at the meetings, participants discuss about ICT laws and how they can be made responsive to people The Real TestSo I'm Executive Officer and VP Corporate Affairs for ICANN and I'm tasked with improving our communications amongst other things. In another forum Keiren McCarthy says: 'the real test will come in whether the ICANN staff start using it (this remote site). ICANN is still in under-fire mode (although it has started relaxing a little following the JPA) and the staff have a slight bunker mentality.

First daySo we're here in Sao Paulo. Today the Board we met in committees during the morning. Most of the Board's committees don't meet between the in-person meetings. I'm hoping to change this for the committees I'm on. This practice means that we have to spend quite a bit of time during the regular ICANN meetings doing committee work. Then we met as a Board (plus staff) for the afternoon. This was a meeting devoted to listing (but not ranking) priorities for 2007 -- the priorities were things you'd expect, like the new gTLD process, IDNs, and improving transparency. We also spent some time on internal Board machinations -- who's leading, who's on what committee. There's a steep learning curve for brand new board members and we have two of them who started this week.
