12:29:00 From humbertocarrasco : hello everybody
12:29:11 From humbertocarrasco : Greetings from Chile
12:29:25 From Erich Schweighofer : Servus from Vienna
12:29:52 From davekissoondoyal : Hi all
12:30:13 From Maureen Hilyard (ALAC) : Hi everyone. Happy New Year :)
12:30:18 From Heidi Ullrich : Welcome, All!
12:30:24 From humbertocarrasco : The same Maureen!!
12:38:42 From Judith Hellerstein : HI I am on now
12:46:58 From Maureen Hilyard (ALAC) : 64 people at the CPWG meeting. wow!
12:48:01 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : And of course this temperature taking was intended to *inform* the ALAC in its future deliberations on these still open questions ( remember this is still a PC not a Feté co,pli
12:48:22 From Judith Hellerstein : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PipT5j_0T5bfUCXgs2A0dcYxySU5Lwqhzm0q3a_S6mQ/edit
12:53:33 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : indeed @Alan seems sensible
12:54:00 From Heidi Ullrich : Excellent idea, Alan
12:54:02 From Eduardo Diaz : Good suggestion.
12:54:07 From Heidi Ullrich : Nick and Tanzanica?
12:54:24 From Heidi Ullrich : Nick might know more re the scheduling
12:55:11 From Abdulkarim Oloyede : I believe the logic is in the public statement they put out for comment.
12:56:22 From Alan Greenberg : Pretty sure this is in Tanzanika's domain...
12:56:33 From Alan Greenberg : And she is the contact person for the comment.
12:56:39 From Eduardo Diaz : Agree with Alan
12:59:37 From Heidi Ullrich : @Alan, I’ll work with Tanzanica on who else should be included in a call.
13:06:32 From Sebastien Bachollet : Can we add in AOB: Interpretation
13:06:38 From Sebastien Bachollet : Thanks
13:06:59 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : Yes we heard the sound check
13:08:23 From Judith Hellerstein : Heidi, i think it is me, maureen and tanzanica
13:11:12 From Heidi Ullrich : Blog on Chris Mondini being appointed RVP/MD of the Brussels Office: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2020-01-13-en
13:13:54 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : Thanks for the link Heidi, that was of course the announcement most of us will have I trust read
13:15:58 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : Excellent @Heidi
13:17:47 From Matthias M. Hudobnik : Hello all :-)
13:18:14 From Joanna Kulesza to Michelle DeSmyter (Privately) : perfect. Thank you
13:21:17 From Heidi Ullrich : @Daniel, an additional point to your question, as confirmed by the FBSC, requests for FY21 for training, etc should develop overall strategies for as well as include ICANN Learn whenever possible.
13:22:43 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : Thanks Joanna
13:24:29 From Glenn McKnight FBSC : And funding to updating the Onboarding materials
13:26:19 From Heidi Ullrich : These could all be done through ICANN Learn courses
13:26:47 From Heidi Ullrich : as well as perhaps the continuation of onboarding/welcome to AT-Large calls with the RALO leaders, etc.
13:28:46 From Heidi Ullrich : @Maureen, we will work with the regional leadership to schedule a Regional leaders meeting early in February.
13:31:09 From Judith Hellerstein : also in case anyone does not know the reorg in the Brussels office also led to a reorg in ICANN's governmental operations and Nigel Hickson is no longer thee
13:31:19 From Seun Ojedeji : Same applies to AFRALO, secretariat is incharge of comms
13:32:52 From Glenn McKnight FBSC : Sharing the Internet Governance Event Calendar event for people to add their local events. It can be searched by Country
13:32:52 From Heidi Ullrich : Yes, they are, Maureen
13:32:53 From Glenn McKnight FBSC : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kk4xhkNC34W9jdWwKvgOckHETDfGRPfhXoqI3PFigZk/edit?usp=sharing
13:33:06 From Glenn McKnight FBSC : I am adding all North American events to the calendar
13:33:16 From Seun Ojedeji : Yes they are, so since it's an invite to the RALO leadership then it's fine
13:33:49 From Glenn McKnight FBSC : Good luck to Chris and Nigel
13:34:15 From Glenn McKnight FBSC : Don't forget the NOMCOM is looking for applications....
13:34:41 From Seun Ojedeji : Thanks Maureen.
13:35:10 From Glenn McKnight FBSC : NARALO has rotated its editors and its operated for 4 to 5 years
13:38:37 From Marita Moll : Sorry, have arrived very late. Was in flight
13:39:05 From Eduardo Diaz : NARALO Newsletter editors: Eduardo Diaz (3 yrs), Susannah Gray (1 yr), Glenn McKnight (1 yr) and now Pierre-Jean Darres
13:39:21 From Heidi Ullrich : Thank you, Maureen. That will be extremely useful to standardise some of the info on the newsletters.
13:39:34 From Marita Moll : Thanks to Olivier for filling MS stuff in for me
13:40:02 From Eduardo Diaz : @heidi: agree
13:40:37 From Judith Hellerstein : Is there a mailing list for the discussion on individual members?
13:42:11 From Eduardo Diaz : What I am seeing now is that members of ALs de-affiliate to become Individual members
13:43:32 From Eduardo Diaz : Do these members have to opt-in to receive info directly from ICANN?
13:44:40 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : Change is opportunity
13:44:43 From Marita Moll : My ALS, Telecommuities Canada, has a mailing list, but there is very little available from ICANN that resonates. I send some stuff out that I personally write
13:45:48 From Holly Raiche : @ Ed - have you looked into why people are opting to be individual members?
13:47:39 From Marita Moll : Informing and recruiting are not the same. Are we only interested in recruiting
13:47:40 From Hadia Elminiawi (ALAC) : Sorry for joining late - I got mixed up with the timing
13:48:09 From Eduardo Diaz : My appreciation is that they want to have a more active roll in the region without having to go through whoever represent them as an ALs
13:48:15 From Heidi Ullrich : Perhaps a package of training/coaching for ALSes and members of ALSEs and individuals?
13:48:57 From Eduardo Diaz : My message was in response to Holly’s question.
13:49:25 From Holly Raiche : Thanks Ed - does that have implications for the Mobilization Plan?
13:49:45 From Judith Hellerstein : Eduardo is correct
13:49:46 From Sylvia Herlein Leite : I like Heidi idea
13:50:32 From Holly Raiche : And further - if people don’t see that an association with an ALS is necessary, what does that say for what Alan has been saying about the need for ALSs?
13:51:10 From Eduardo Diaz : @Holly: at this point I am not sure. Talking directly to ALs members will be a challenge. Like Marita said, ICANN does not necessarily resonate with many the members
13:51:38 From Glenn McKnight FBSC : Another issue is who will the training and monitoring it can be alot of work
13:51:40 From Holly Raiche : @ Ed - good point, and really good issue for further discussion
13:52:31 From Sylvia Herlein Leite : @Eduardo Agree with you. Big challenge
13:52:36 From Eduardo Diaz : Maybe we may want to submit a by-law change. Let’s see.
13:52:56 From Marita Moll : @Eduardo -- it takes a lot of informing before we get interest from some members. This is about a serious gap in digestable info and it will take a long time to fix
13:53:49 From Hadia Elminiawi (ALAC) : We don't really need an agent - talking directly with them is more beneficial
13:53:55 From Glenn McKnight FBSC : Euralo and NARALO surveyed their ALS membership to determine their interest and expertise
13:54:48 From Sebastien Bachollet : @Hadia we are organized by ALS not direct membership (fortunately)
13:55:15 From Alan Greenberg : @Glenn, in most cases, what we got were the interests and expertise of the ALS Representatives and not going down to thier members.
13:55:23 From Seun Ojedeji : So the working group members will be subscribed to ALS (groups) membership communication channels in order to be able to communicate with ALS members, is that the plan/intention?
13:56:34 From Alan Greenberg : The Mobilization Working Party is a very short-term activity to formulate a plan for the approval of the ALAC.
13:57:17 From Hadia Elminiawi (ALAC) : @Sebastain I agree - but that does not mean that every thing should happen through the representatives. In some cases where this works it is fine but in other cases where it does not we should not be restrained by this
13:59:51 From Alan Greenberg : The ALS reps aer simply ALS members with some administrative responsibilities. If they choose to get involved in policy, fine. And if they proselytize anoung their members, even better. But experience has said that very few do that.
14:03:26 From Yrjo Lansipuro : Perhaps we should establish criteria for representatives and for what they are obliged to do in their liaison role between the RALO and the membership of their ALS.
14:05:15 From Sebastien Bachollet : Not outside trainer for Euralo proposal
14:05:38 From Heidi Ullrich : Thanks, Sebastien. Even better!
14:07:23 From Judith Hellerstein : HI Seun, the travel cost was way to high
14:07:51 From Judith Hellerstein : You might have asked for money that was not travel
14:09:54 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : The Budget and Finance SC has however done its job and quite well IMO
14:10:08 From Heidi Ullrich : Total envelope for all SOAC ABRs is $300k
14:10:14 From Glenn McKnight FBSC : The amount should be one of many sponsors
14:10:43 From Glenn McKnight FBSC : 1 to 5K is reasonable for a school and the schools should strive to get 8 to 10 key sponsors
14:11:13 From Heidi Ullrich : There may be a way to have some training at meetings where many AFRALO members are attending anyway.
14:11:31 From Heidi Ullrich : And an overall strategy rather than one off meetings might be more useful.
14:11:48 From Seun Ojedeji : The application were clear that there were other sponsors for the SIGs how can 5k successfully execute a SIG in the first place
14:12:09 From Glenn McKnight FBSC : How much was the SIG's looking from ICANN?
14:12:10 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : indeed Heidi as other RALOs have often had to do
14:12:42 From Glenn McKnight FBSC : Given the limits of the funding it should be proportional
14:12:43 From Seun Ojedeji : @Cheryl I didn't say the committee did a bad job, I have only made an appeal for reconsideration of certain requests
14:13:06 From Glenn McKnight FBSC : What is the proposals for the Flexibility Fund?
14:13:18 From Sylvia Herlein Leite : tks to all
14:13:20 From davekissoondoyal : thanks and bye to all
14:13:24 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : Thanks everyone Bye for now
