LACRALO Outreach Strategic Plan

LACRALO will continue to raise awareness about ICANN At-Large in the LAC region with the goal of finding new organisations and individuals to join ICANN At-Large. Emphasis will be given to getting organisations to become accredited At-Large Structures (ALSes) from territories in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region that do not have any ALSes.

When potential At-Large Candidates have been identified, they will be contacted by the LACRALO Outreach & Engagement members (in coordination with the LACRALO chair and secretariat) to be invited to conference calls to learn about ICANN and ICANN At-Large.

LACRALO will be maintaining an outreach calendar at http://bitly.com/LAC-Outreach-Calendar to track possible ICT and IG events in those territories without ALSes and regional IG events where persons and/or possible ALSes from those territories are likely to attend.

Two IG events in the region have been noted in August 2017.

• Latin American and Caribbean Internet Governance Forum - LACIGF 10 which will be held in Panama City, Panama from 2-4 August 2017.
• Caribbean Internet Governance Forum - CIGF - tentatively planned for 21-23 August 2017 in Tortola, British Virgin Islands.

Given the important opportunity of these events for outreach, we will be seeking to use CROP:

• for two travelers, one from Latin America, one from Caribbean, to attend LACIGF
• for one traveler from Caribbean to attend CIGF.

We will seek to use the remaining CROP support for two travelers to attend other outreach events during FY18.

LACRALO members will also seek to contribute to and support the LAC Strategy Projects such as the Latin American and Caribbean Entrepreneurship and Internet Center (CEI LAC) and to consider submission of new project ideas for the LAC Strategy in line with the LAC Strategy's goals.
