I believe that DNSSEC deployment is important for the ICANN community in general but not directly relevant to most of the LACRALO organizations, since they (we) are not generally involved in operations of registries or large-scale networks. Those involved with ccTLD management are few and the DNSSEC implementation issues are handled by the technical staff in the registry.
Equally, while the future of the IANA contract is vital for ICANN and the community, LACRALO's activities share very little with the process leading to its desirable reassignment to ICANN.
In consequence I move to replace those two subjects with ones of direct relevance to the LACRALO community's detected needs of capacity-building. Among others I find salient:
1. GNSO and ALAC policy-development process. We are very often missing on the rules for these develpments and even when we do have an opinion on the substantive issue being dealt with, we fail to intervene because of time lag and uncertainty about the rules.
2. Nature of the domain-name market. An update on the characteristics of the global domain-name market, including the life cycle of a domain name at its core, seems necessary for many of us. Although it is an extremely basic piece of knowldege, it has evolved constantly and has many fine points in which we are lacking knowledge. Also, this dovetails well with proposed Workshop 1 on New gTLDs. One part of this session could include a discussion of the legal nature of domain names - ownership, rental, license to use, etc., and their consequences like sales, transfer, inheritance - as is being held in related communities in the region. This is important practical knowledge.
3. I would move to substitute one of the sessions on participation (either the one in the main program or the one in Workshop 3) with a session on contractual compliance and its implications for the relationships with governments and law-enforcement authorities. This is a salient issue in ICANN in general, and a significant one in each of the jurisdictions where LACRALO members work and act.
4. An alternative is to select a few (3-5) of the present PDPs and public-comment issues and go through them for better understanding in our community.

Alejandro:
I like your proposals except the one that substitue the sessions on participation (meaning the wiki?), because there are a lot of new members who don't know the tools of communications and in some cases it could be a way of discourage participation.-
There are a lot of information and sometimes is difficult to find and could take some time, which as said before can discourage participation.
Who do you think should be invited for speakers on those changing you are suggesting?
Regardas,

agree with Alejandro that DNSSEC might be too technical for most ALSes to be interested in or to care about and could be removed.
I wonder if more basics 101 of what DNS is, what are domain names, etc is needed, something like "Nature of the domain-name market" as Alejandro suggests, since understanding these fundamentals is needed to understand and comment on ICANN policies. Perhaps two sessions are needed.
To repeat the suggestion during the call, that according to At-Large Staff, all but 2 ALSes would be able to attend a Friday morning session. Thus, I'll recommend that the "Conclusions on Capacity Building Program by each ALS Delegate. Commitments to assume in the future within the community. Next steps." which is unrealistic to achieve should be done on Friday.
"Workshop 5 - Security and Risk Management" on Thursday is not clear what this means. More details needed.

I generally share Alejandro's perspective; this is not an event for technical matters like DNSSEC. We have more fundamental problems.
I agree we need a session to message the ICANN policy development process right after the history lesson of Sunday. So that should come on Monday morning. This is necessary to contextualize that day's agenda, as now planned. Our GNSO Liaison - Alan Greenberg - will most certainly do a great job here and I'm nominating him for this task.
While Dev's suggestion for a "DNS 101" is indeed thoughtful, I think we must assume that member ALS come to this table with something of relevance. I wouldn't take a bet but let's gamble and accept that this is it.
I have a different perspective on the relevance of knowledge of the IANA contract to this event; it is basic to an understanding of the role of ICANN in the Internet Governance ecosystem - and why the USG and their allies might be interested in what people from the sticks like us would have to say.
I confess I don't know when 'enough is enough'. But IMHO, enough has been done on 'participation tools' for us to endure another one. Furthermore, the primer publications would give far more information than could be delivered in this time-limiting circumstance. And it helps folks to do what we simply don't do enough of; READ! +1 to Alejandro's; fundamental knowledge of the Domain Nmae marketplace is both good and necessary; policies are intended to impact this. So, we can lose the main session and replace it with a panorama of the domain name marketplace per Alejandro.
Finally, if we have Friday available, let's use it for a wrap-up session.
Jose Arce
I want to thanks all who did comment and contributions for this important event. We must end now because ICANN staff should notify those who have been selected to be speakers.
Kind Regards
Jose.-
