Summary Minutes
The revised draft proposal was reviewed.
T. Drakes noted that the current attendee list included many AFRALO ALS representatives who were already quite knowledgeable and engaged in ICANN policy activities. Therefore, the attendee list should be reviewed so as to include more ALS representatives who are not currently engaged in At-Large activities.
V. Scartezini commented that Global Partnerships could send more information of the Fellowship program to the Board in order to keep them up-to-date on the program.
M. Carver noted that the topics to be addressed in the Nairobi Fellowship activities will be known in mid-January.
A-R Inne stated that there are many meetings being planned in Nairobi. There should be collaboration between Meeting Staff, Global Partnerships, AFRALO and At-Large to avoid duplication of activities and scheduling conflicts for speakers and participants of the
AFRALO Outreach and Capacity Building activities. It was agreed that the Nairobi Outreach WG would work closely with N. Tomasso, M. Carver and A-R Inne to avoid scheduling conflicts.
A-R Inne noted that the current AFRALO Outreach document was a concept note rather than a proposal. Additional detail would need to be added in order for the document to be considered a viable proposal.
A-R Inne noted that*AFRINIC *and Francophonie would not likely be able to contribute funding for these activities given their funding situation.
C. Langdon-Orr suggested that the ISOC regional leader needs to get involved as soon as possible.
F. Seye-Sylla stated that she would like to send the final proposal to regional telecommunication agencies.
A-R Inne pointed out that the cost estimates used in the current draft proposal will need to be raised. M. Carver has access to more realistic costs and should work with the AFRALO Nairobi Outreach WG to ensure proper cost estimates are included in the proposal.
N. Tomasso reviewed the logistics for the Nairobi meeting and requested greater clarity on the expected number of participants and planned number of days and hours of the capacity building activities.
T. Ben Jemaa and F. Seye-Sylla will work together to further develop the planned number of days of capacity building activities. They will use the AFRALO Nairobi Outreach WG list as a means of discussion.
Meetings Staff said they would likely be able to find a separate room for the capacity building activities to take place on Sunday, 7 March.
M. Carver pointed out that interpretation booths will impact the size if the room required for the capacity building activities. She also noted that the Fellowship program does not use interpreters.
C. Langdon-Orr stated that the ALAC room could be used for capacity building events that need interpretation.
C. Langdon-Orr stated that AFRALO issues be the primary topics of the Sunday, 7 March ALAC+Regional Leaders afternoon session as well as one ½ of another ALAC meeting later in the week of the Nairobi meeting.
It was agreed that the next call of the AFRALO Nairobi Outreach WG will be scheduled for mid-January to allow for the identification of Fellowship topics and the AFRALO Nairobi Outreach WG to further develop their proposal. A doodle will be sent to determine the best date and time.
