10) Proposed Goals and Outcomes:

Content Guidelines (click here)

Our goal for this event is to focus on the under represented groups or locations

We see great opportunity to meet US based non profits from various parts of the underrepresented parts of the US at the conference.   A  significant group of non profits include First Nations and  groups  representing  people of poverty

https://community.icann.org/display/soaceoutreach/NARALO+Outreach+Strategic+Plan+DRAFT

This is a new conference for us and it's unsure on the predicted results.   I expect to obtain at least 10 solid leads and I will be doing followup on these leads
