Here is an alternative to a Hackathon - An open competition for ideas for 2 domain names for this group. An ascii new gtld domain name and an idn new gtld domain name. Entries will be judged on creativity, uniqueness, relevance …etc… The 2 winning entries will be registered and used by this group. The 2 winning entrants will receive prizes This seems to me to have a lot of potential because ① it will be totally open to absolutely everyone ② i consider this could take place over a long period of time ③ it will aid in promotion of UA ④ it could serve as a way into schools, colleges and universities ⑤ i think it less risky than a hackathon André Schappo On 18 Nov 2015, at 05:56, Don Hollander wrote:
A quick update on the idea of a Hackathon @ ICANN55
Ram, Dennis & I had a call with folks at ICANN about a Hackathon @ ICANN55.
We indicated that the UASG was not prepared to run a Hackathon there, but we would be happy to participate as one of the potential projects should ICANN want to pursue one.
We provided some indicative information on costs and approaches used by AngelHack for their consideration.
The ICANN folks are going to reconsider the idea with this information and will let us know if they decide to proceed.
