Charter: 

  1. SURVEY: responsible for putting together a survey to determine the global and regional issues within the At-Large Structures (ALSes) as well as capacity building needs. This group should be also responsible for designing, in conjunction with the ROI group, a feedback form to capture summit impressions from attending ALSes.
    1. Suggested parameters: Answering the survey should be mandatory for those ALSes interested in participating. The survey could include a section requesting feedback from ALSes on how to improve their inclusion into ICANN work, communication among themselves and between themselves and their RALO leadership, and the ALAC. It could also request ideas for outreach.
    2. OUTCOME: a list of major topics and issues to be discussed during plenary conferences, workshops and Regional General Assemblies (RGAs) which will help drive the event schedule and its content. Also, it should generate a feedback form to capture summit feedback from attending ALSes.

  2. EVENTS: responsible for assembling the summit schedule with the help of the Survey WG. In addition, the WG should suggest recommendations to ALSes for ICANN specific events and meetings to attend to during the ICANN General Meeting (IGM).
    1. Suggested parameters: The schedule should include plenary conferences, workshops, RGAs, and the Showcase event. This can be supported by the creation of workshops designed to immerse ALSes in ICANN specific policy work so they are better prepared to understand some of the work being done during the IGM. All this can be augmented by identifying a group of mentors ready to answer any policy question and/or provide recommendations for meetings to go to during the IGM. In fact, mentors could go to some of the IGM meetings hand-in-hand with ASLes to help them sift through the discussions.
    2. OUTCOME: a schedule of all summit activities that will help drive sponsor engagement and some of the logistics necessary to support it.

  3. SPONSORS: responsible for setting a dollar amount objective and actively pursue sponsors to reach it. An engagement template presentation should be developed to be used as a tool for the introduction to the event and engage sponsors.
    1. OUTCOME:  a list of all sponsors and pledged money.

  4. LOGISTICS: responsible for coordinating all summit logistics such as keeping track of all attending ALSes, hotel, travel, conference rooms, interpretation services, remote connectivity, printed material, mailing lists, Wikis, invoicing and summit budget.
    1. OUTCOME:  event support and coordination with all WGs 

  5. PUBLIC RELATIONS: responsible for coordinating all media tours, press kits, in-house promotion and pre-recording of lead figures around ICANN in support of the ATLAS II effort. This team should also coordinate the recording and dissemination of testimonials during and after the meeting.
    1. OUTCOME: event public relations support in coordination with all WGs 

  6. ROI: responsible for acquiring inputs from all working groups to identify tangible and visible returns for the amount of money that will be invested in the summit.
    1. OUTCOME:  post-summit report including tangible and visible returns, lessons learned and a next steps road map plan to open up new opportunities for At-Large.
