17:59:52 From Alfredo Calderon : @Natalia It is good to hear that we have an emphasis on the Importance/benefits of being part of At-Large. Multiple media approaches, different level of content with clear examples of outcomes is a must. We need to make it pertinent to end-users.

18:03:21 From Filina Natalia : https://docs.google.com/document/d/11ULE1cUSrFbRPWlOSoOdb767gV_oj4nfMg_czY83hgk/edit
18:03:28 From Heidi Ullrich : +1 Seb re the three tracks: 1) Policy; 2) O/E; 3) Operations/Comms
18:03:36 From DANIEL K. NANGHAKA : sorry, was in another critical meeting
18:04:44 From Glenn McKnight : As for other NOMCOM members we will be hived away a week later in September for the completion of the interviews and they will be Virtual
18:04:54 From Sarah Kiden : That’s a nice initiative, Satish!
18:05:32 From Filina Natalia : +1 @Sarah
18:06:31 From Lianna Galstyan : Thanks for this idea
18:06:33 From Seun Ojedeji : I think the idea of a periodic subscription check-in is a good one
18:07:07 From Maureen Hilyard : Happy to be listening in, thank you Seb
18:07:10 From Nadira AL-ARAJ : the report on ALS mobilizations it would be good to be included in the agenda
18:07:37 From Seun Ojedeji : Certainly Maureen can't be shy..... ;-)
18:07:55 From Filina Natalia : We want to discuss f2f-)
18:07:58 From Maureen Hilyard : Thanks Seun :)
18:08:50 From Judith Hellerstein : also lets hoping for more f2f meetings in the future
18:09:26 From Seun Ojedeji : moe f2f in future? i doubt that
18:09:45 From Nadira AL-ARAJ : it is worth tracking the attendees to see if there is trend
18:09:49 From Nadira AL-ARAJ : I mean from the start of the V meetings
18:10:01 From Maureen Hilyard : It would be good for you as community leaders to start thinking about what we can propose as an appropriate meeting format
18:10:47 From Nadira AL-ARAJ : same think here @Seun, I expect it is going to continue for next year
18:11:28 From Judith Hellerstein : +1 Sebastien
18:12:11 From Seun Ojedeji : A f2f global meeting will still be a good to have and returning to the original meeting face2face format once movement is permited and then re-evaluating thereafter may be a good thing
18:17:03 From Judith Hellerstein : i would want to have as many f2f as we can have. they are much better than virtual as you have people’s full attention. in virtual people are still doing their work and so are not there 100%
18:17:38 From Judith Hellerstein : i agree with Sebastien on this
18:17:56 From Filina Natalia : it is true, agree
18:18:02 From Eduardo Diaz from sunny Puerto Rico : @Seun: My expectation is that ICANN f2f meetings will not happen during 2021, even if a vaccine is available. We will come back to a “normal” life after the World Health Organization say that the pandemic is off. Before that, we all be in this mode of restricted movement.
18:18:24 From Glenn McKnight : @Seb I have pushed this idea but privately people reach out but they are reluctant to say anything on the list
18:18:32 From Silvia Vivanco : @Sebastian noted
18:18:33 From Alfredo Calderon : +1 Agree Sebastien. Looking forward for that discusion on future meeting formats.
18:18:48 From Glenn McKnight : I expect we will not have any face to face in 2021
18:18:53 From Silvia Vivanco : Will be sending you Action Items including the RALO and iCANN meeting strategy item
18:19:06 From Maureen Hilyard : +1 Sebastien - great to get the discussion going
18:19:32 From Glenn McKnight : @Silvia what about the action item on changes in the requests via google forms to the RALO chairs and sec?
18:19:58 From Judith Hellerstein : @glenn . Heidi said it was her action item
18:20:05 From Silvia Vivanco : @Glenn noted as AI
18:20:08 From Eduardo Diaz from sunny Puerto Rico : The October meeting will be chaired by LACRALO since the next meeting should have been in Cancun.
18:20:29 From Silvia Vivanco : The AIs will be sent around
18:20:35 From Eduardo Diaz from sunny Puerto Rico : I am sorry, the November meeting.
18:20:39 From Judith Hellerstein : let’s have it after the IGF
18:20:55 From Filina Natalia : +1 Judith
18:21:26 From Heidi Ullrich : Sergio will be the lead of the Regional leadership after ICANN69.
18:22:57 From Heidi Ullrich : Evin will check on the status of the Google form asap
18:23:07 From Silvia Vivanco : noted @Glenn
18:24:21 From Judith Hellerstein : i agree with you. would love to have a stipend but understand why they will not give it to people from developed countries
18:24:54 From Sergio Salinas Porto LACRALO : I agree
18:24:55 From Glenn McKnight : I don't mind giving up mine so someone more challenged receives the stipend
18:25:08 From Nadira AL-ARAJ : yes, it is good to discuss annual stipend to at large volunteer
18:25:28 From Glenn McKnight : As we did the Caring Communities idea we had great support to help our community, it was volunteer
18:25:32 From Filina Natalia : support you Glenn
18:25:49 From Glenn McKnight : Thanks Judith, Nadira and Natalia
18:26:09 From Nadira AL-ARAJ : in fact it will cost much less than travel support
