<p class="MsoNormal">The openness for <span class="" style="">ICANN</span> is crucial for our mission. <span class="" style="">ICANN</span> is a very western centric organization,
based on its staff and posture. 3
centers. They have implemented Sales Force <span class="" style="">CRM</span> across the offices to ensure
questions are answered. <span class="" style="">ICANN</span> is also creating “engagement centers” around the
world. Montevideo, Beijing, Geneva, Cairo. Building centers of excellence, such
as in Delhi and another to come in Africa on youth and entrepreneurship and a
possible 3<sup>rd</sup> one in Russia. </p>

How to use that money in the public interest. This president brought a panel to
help him develop this strategy. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">An academic meeting in August as a follow-up. Friday and Saturday in Rio. <span class="" style="">Fadi</span> also wants
to do the same with civil society in November. <span class="" style="">Fadi</span> affirms he can help with
platform and costs. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Civil society representatives need more strength – <span class="" style="">ICANN</span> can
support costs of travel. We have a 133 countries siting at the table and
showing at every meeting. They are on “equal” footing. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="" style="">IANA</span>: this was a discussion where only small rooms that US
controls the Internet. <span class="" style="">Fadi</span> discussed with his board that <span class="" style="">ICANN</span> should take the
oversight from US. It was always know that this was just a matter of time. <span class="" style="">Fadi</span>
and his board agreed that <span class="" style="">ICANN</span> is ready to overtake that function and have the
public discussion about it. We have strategy panels, one led by Vincent Cerf,
who is about to release its report saying <span class="" style="">ICANN</span> is mature enough. The question
is all about if <span class="" style="">ICANN</span> is mature enough … and we need a mature civil society. I
was invited for the Best Bits meeting and it was a great truth meeting. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He wants us to be sure we all are mature enough to assume
all functions. And for this to happen <span class="" style="">Fadi</span> feels we need more and stronger
civil society. But the stakeholders need engage and be mature, so no other
country (or all of them) take control of the <span class="" style="">IANA</span>.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">We are planning the creation of governance networks. How we would come together and for a certain issue could include A + B + C. they are dynamic, hopefully effective and the involved may vary based on the need.</p>
