APRALO plans to conduct Networking and/or Showcase events in line with our theme of "Celebrating Diversity".

Outreach Events 

APRALO, in conjunction and co-ordination with other groups in ICANN that are working for outreach, will organize and participate in outreach programmes during ICANN57 at Hyderabad. These programmes may include addressing different stakeholder groups such as Universities, Schools, and NGOs about Internet Governance, and how these end-users and their communities could influence ICANN policy.

Capacity Building activities

The following Capacity Building Activities are planned for ICANN57:


a. Capacity Building Session for APRALO ALS Representatives
The ALAC Capacity Building Working Group will organize a capacity building session during ICANN57, which is targeted at the representatives of the India-based ALSes as well as other members of the At-Large Community. The session will discuss issues such as enhancing participation in IG processes,  keeping ALSes active and at high levels of vitality, and the recent developments in IG.

b. First India School on Internet Governance (inSIG)
The first India School on Internet Governance (inSIG) is scheduled for 31 Oct - 2 Nov, just prior to ICANN57, at Hyderabad. The event is supported by NIXI, Government of India; ICANN; Internet Society; and Asia-Pacific School on Internet Governance (APSIG). While mainly targeted at India-based IG Practitioners, the school is also open for a small number of participants from other countries in the region, particularly South and Central Asia. For more information, please see http://insig.in

  3. I have been in touch with Tijani and Aziz about their NGO and ALS Training sessions in Marrakech. They forwarded their programme for us to discuss and from which we can develop our own programme. These can be found at :

     Program for students: Outreach and Engagement activities: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/AFRALO+Outreach+Event+Workspace  aand Program Outreach for NGO  https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Marrakech+AFRALO+NGO+Program

    The AFRALO NGO Program featured a series of capacity building sessions for beginners as part of AFRALO's continuing efforts to raise awareness on ICANN and At-Large issues within Africa. The sessions included basic knowledge on ICANN and At-Large, including the policy development process and ICANN's unique bottom up multi-stakeholder model of decision making.

    From <https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Marrakech+AFRALO+NGO+Program>

    BELOW IS AN APRALO PROGRAMME BASED ON THE MARRAKECH MODEL. PLEASE HAVE A LOOK THROUGH IT AND SEE IF WE NEED TO RETAIN THE SAME SESSIONS OR PERHAPS ADD OTHERS.

    1. Thanks Maureen. This is a great starting point.

      It is of course unlikely that we will get 90 min...it may be safer to plan for 60 min...but things will be clearer when Gisella gets back with the logistics.

       

  4. This is my suggested outline for the capacity building sessions, remembering that we  probably will not have a full hour and, to keep the attention of the participants, the sessions should be interactive.  There is plenty of material that can be distributed.  What I can't find, but hope someone else can, is the summary of policies that we did for Rinalia.  I'm happy to lead the sessions, but will be calling on others to help out.  Comments and suggestions welcome, of course:

    Nov 5:  Introduction to ICANN

    • What it does
    • How it is structured – use chart
    • SOs/ACs – what they do
    • Exercise for participants::
    • Pick an SO/AC (not ALAC) – give a brief talk on what it is, why it is important, its output

    (maybe have someone from SSAC/GNSO/GAC talk briefly – then work with smaller group on what the SO/AC is and does)

    Nov 6: Introduction to ALAC

    • What ALAC is
    • What is an ALS
    • What is a RALO – the 5 RALOS
    • Who’s Who – on the LT/the RALO Chairs

    (Suggest have attendees split into 5 groups – and each give a short presentation on one of the five RALOs)

     Nov 7: ICANN Policy Issues (based on the policy paper)

    • What is ICANN Policy
    • How is it developed
    • How can one participate
    • Where are ALAC policy statements

    (Suggest break into 4-5 teams – each pick an ALAC policy and explain what it is/what did ALAC say)

    Nov 8: The IANA ‘Transition’: ICANN Post the NTIA Contrac

    • What was ICANN’s relationship with the NTIA before 1 October
    • What happened on 1 October – what has changed?
    • What is the new structure
    • Where does ALAC/the community fit in the new structure

    (maybe have ALAC members who were involved talk including Alan, Cheryl, Leon – others?)

  5. Thanks Holly, for the work on this...looks great! Looking forward to your suggestions on the speakers.

    One topic that may fit the session on Nov 6 is something on the lines of : "IG activities within ALSes to enhance ALS participation in APRALO".

    Also, should the title of Nov 6 be "Introduction to At-Large in ICANN"? The initial part of the session may be used to disambiguate between At-Large, ALAC, RALOs, ALSes, Individual Members in RALOs and ALS members.
