This session is planned as a one hour substantive dialog session among the AC/SO leadership and between the AC/SO leadership and ICANN staff. The goal of the session is to build on the presentations and discussions from the Dakar and Costa Rica meetings and provide a venue where the community presents their ideas on what outreach for community building means to them, what they feel their next steps should be and the sharing of best practices or successful previous examples.

A session agenda, discussion questions, and an inventory of staff outreach activities were distributed to the AC/SO leadership in advance of the session to prime the pump of dialog. To that end participants have been asked to think about the following questions:

The definition of Outreach presented to the ICANN community over the past two ICANN meetings is "that which moves participants in, up, and/or makes participant more effective". What else does Outreach mean to you?

What Outreach activities have your communities engaged in? Does your community have a model or an example of a successful Outreach effort they would like to share?

How do we best coordinate the efforts of the ICANN staff and community?

What do you think the next steps should be between the Prague and Toronto meetings in order to further this community building effort?

Who should attend: Anyone interested in recruitment and engagement of community members in the ICANN multi-stakeholder model.
