Background
At-Large Improvements WT C (on ALAC/At-Large's planning processes) is responsible for implementing Recommendations 5 and 6 to come out of the Final Report of the ALAC Review WG on ALAC Improvements:
- Rec 5: ALAC should develop strategic/operational plans as part of ICANN’s planning process.
- Rec 6: At-Large should develop accurate cost models.
To complete this mandate, WT C is compiling three SWOT analyses (SWOT = strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) on ALAC/At-Large's:
- Strategic planning;
- Operational planning; and
- Budgetary planning.
As the next step, WT C would like to collect contributions to each of these three SWOT analyses from the RALOs' ALSes.
Instructions for EURALO
WT C is asking each RALO to collect contributions from its ALSes to the three SWOT analyses below, which cover the ALAC/At-Large's (a) strategic, (b) operational, and (c) budgetary planning. This request is a chance for your ALSes to directly influence ALAC/At-Large planning processes and procedures. (Note: This request is separate from the ALAC's recent request for the RALOs' comments specifically on ICANN's FY2010-14 Strategic Plan.)
At present, each of the three SWOT tables lists the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats determined by WT C. We are now asking the ALSes to add to each of these lists. In considering its input, each ALS (along with its RALO) may review the points being added by the ALSes of the other RALOs; links to the SWOT contribution page of each RALO can be found on the main WT C workspace page.
To proceed, we would like each RALO's leadership (or appointee) to "hold the pen" -- that is, to collect its ALSes' input (in whatever way it sees fit), consolidate that input if it wishes, and to enter it into the below three SWOT tables. Therefore, we have given EURALO's chairperson, vice chair, and secretariat editing rights to this page. (Please let us know if you would like us to grant editing rights to any other RALO member.)
When adding the points below that your ALSes would like to contribute, please:
- Place new points underneath those already in the SWOT tables;
- Add the points in English;
- Use a color other than black;
- Do not number/letter the points you add (even though the points already listed are numbered/lettered); and
- Feel free to use the designations "+1," "+2," etc. after any point already in a SWOT table with which your ALSes strongly agree.
Deadline: Please add your ALSes' contributions as soon as possible but no later than three business days after February's EURALO meeting -- that is, Friday, 18 February.
Thank you very much. If you have any questions, please contact Seth Greene, the At-Large Improvements Manager, at seth.greene@icann.org.
