NTEN is a 501(c)(3) US registered organization (see http://www.nten.org/about).  This is a Non Profit Technology Sector event it's not a commercial venue it's dedicated to raising the educational awareness of those who run not-for-profit organizations

9) Purpose and Goals:

Purpose of Trip:

The large number of potential NARALO ALS will be attending. Special attention will be to organizations dealing with the disabled and Native American/Canadian organizations. The purpose is to raise awareness of ICANN amongst the delegates by distributing NARALO literature, recruit new ALS and document the conference in photos and blog postings.


I have confirmation on January 16th that a scholarship is offered to me to attend the waiving the registration fees.

 

Goals of Trip:

The ICANN regional engagement strategy is to reach to the under represented communities. The national conference will have regions of the US that are underserved ie. Maine, Montana and elsewhere where civic engagement is important
given their high bandwidth cost and low speeds.  My participation will impact these members by asking them to get involved with the ICANN Ecosystem.
10) Proposed Outcomes:

Brochures distribution - 100 brochures for general distribution. 
Face to Face discussions at NTEN - 50 delegates and organizers
Specific potential ALS targeted in states, provinces or territories not represented in the NARALO list - 10
Number of pictures at event - 50 
Number of ICANN SKYPE or Blog postings - 10

Distribution of information regarding NomCom

As mentioned the scholarship from the organizers covers the event permitting myself the opportunity to engage the community.  This is the most important non profit technology sector event for the year.
