LACRALO Trip Proposal 4

Not published yet, it will be hosted by the Telecommunications Authority of Suriname (TAS).

Past Caribbean Internet Governance Forum sponsors have included ICANN, ARIN, LACNIC, ISOC, IGFSA, Google.

See Caribbean Internet Governance Forum 2017 event link at http://www.ctu.int/events/13th-caribbean-internet-governance-forum/ and Caribbean Internet Governance Forum 2016 event link  http://www.ctu.int/events/12th-caribbean-internet-governance-forum/ to review the sponsors.

CIGF 2018 will be attended by a variety of persons from the Caribbean involved in IG, including civil society. I will share information about At-Large and recruit persons to join At-Large, especially from those territories (including Suriname) that do not have an At-Large presence.

I will likely be a convenor/facilitator of sessions at this CIGF, as I've done in past CIGFs.

Further clarification:

As a convenor/facilitator of sessions at past CIGFs and at this one, I will use the
CIGF platform to publicly speak on role of ICANN At-Large in Names and Numbers policy development.

How:
1) Meeting with the civil society attendees at CIGF to make them aware of ICANN At-Large, encourage participation in At-Large activities and how to join At-Large. [recruitment].
2) Raise the profile of the At-Large among the regional Internet stakeholders who are participating at the CIGF.

Outcomes:
1) Increased participation by regional stakeholders in At Large, via all the various means of participation;
2) Increased interest in the ICANN At-Large from regional stakeholders and other interested persons
3) Greater awareness of ICANN and its activities by other Caribbean stakeholders not yet in the ICANN frame.
