At-Large 2017 IGF Proposals
ALAC/Sub-Committee on Outreach and Engagement
Original Proposal to FBSC
The proposal is to organize and implement an effective, coordinated and sustained At-Large strategy to raise awareness of the end-user perspective and engage in targeted outreach and engagement program during the 2017 IGF to be held in Geneva 18-21 December 2017 which is a premier global event targeting global stakeholders in the Internet Ecosystem. The program will include awareness raising on end-user policy issues through 5 workshops, training activities and better utilize the ICANN information booth, thus heighten overall branding of At-Large and ICANN.
Note that this request is being submitted in addition to several RALO-based requests for IGF support. This is necessary because there is no Assurance that a global At-Large IGF request will be accepted, and the individual requests, even if accepted by ICANN, will be contingent on IGF acceptance. However, on the assumption that this request is dealt with favorably, and one or more RALO requests are accepted, it is understood that they will be reconciled and implemented synergistically.
Moreover, it is understood that a global presence of At-Large representing ICANN at an IGF, without a particular ICANN funded workshop, is a new concept, and it is expected that this will need to be phased in over a period of several years.

X. Interventions
Each of the speakers for each round has a specific region and community of Interest that they focus upon . They will summarize their achievements and challenges, and discuss opportunities for replication of their strategies for outreach and participation.
All the participants will be invited to a collaborative notes page with details on the short topic discussions
Please describe how you will use your speakers and how their views/perspectives/expertise will be included in the session.
XI. Diversity *
We will have speakers from Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, India, France and Canada. We aim to have 50% of the speakers be female and the majority of the speakers will be from emergent economies, and will also be persons of colour.
XV. Online Participation *
We will promote remote participation to the Facebook Internet Governance Hub, as well as the ICANN ATLARGE SKYPE, Facebook and Twitter feeds
Dev Anand Teelucksingh is an experienced online moderator. He has XXXX experience.
The remote participation will be fully inclusive. Questions and comments from online attendees will be included in the workshop session on an equal basis with those from in-room participants. A microphone will be provided for the online participants, and the online moderator will coordinate the overall queue with the in-room moderator.
An important part of workshop sessions is their strategy for online participation. Please clearly describe how you will manage online participation during the session. Please note that tweets and social media applications allow for observations to the online community, but do not constitute online participation. Unless your proposal clearly indicates that it will not offer online participation, and why not, please indicate how you will ensure equal online participation, both in concept, and in practice. For example: online attendees will have a separate queue and microphone, which will rotate equally with the mics in the room; the workshop moderator will have the online participation session open, and will be in close communication with the workshop’s trained online moderator, to make any adaptations necessary as they arise, etc. Please take seriously the requirement that the workshop should have its own trained remote moderator who has been part of the issue and workshop development, and is prepared to manage this responsibility
XVI. Discussion facilitation *
The Panel format will lend itself to both specific and overall discussion. The agenda above indicates that there will be three main sessions, focusing on separate regions/communities. After each presentation, there will be 10 minutes for discussion on the specific presentation. At the end of the presentations, the discussion will be opened up for questions and responses on any and all topics, including similarities, possibilities for replication in other regions and communities, examples from participants who are doing similar work, and more.
THe panelists are not to be considered “experts” to take up much of the time speaking, but the discussion time is expected to hear from participants in the workshop, both in-room and online.
There is an opportunity for questions to be grouped, so that the discussion can draw out common themes and topics, useful for ongoing work.
Describe how you plan to facilitate discussion amongst speakers, audience members, and online participants, including how your intended session format will be used to its optimum.
XVIII. Sustainable Development Goals
