Excerpt: "...[participants] had the opportunity to interact with representatives from different sectors and organizations within the internet ecosystem. We had Andrew Sullivan, the CEO and President of ISOC. We had Board Members from ICANN. We had from the Public Sectors, Civil Society. I mean, we had representation from all the sectors so that the audience, the participants, could have a good idea of what happens within the Internet Governance Organizations and how they can better serve the different organizations that were represented.". Judith report starts on transcript page 10. Excerpt: "And we had very active discussions on cyber issues, on learning about domains and RARs, on gender, on connectivity issues. We ranged the gamut of a series of different Internet Governance work. One of the topics was is ICANN still relevant and talked about what ICANN’s role is the new government area. And so, we had a collection of different ICANN Board Members because they were in town for the ICANN Meeting, and so we had very good representation of the ICANN Board mixed in with some of long time speakers, as well as we had discussions with the RARs and the difference in RARs and ccNSO, and what the difference in all the different constituencies are."
