10) Proposed Goals and Outcomes:

Content Guidelines (click here)

Rightscon has a focus on connectivity in vulnerable areas and there will be a good number of target groups both indigenous and others interested in connectivity issues for vulnerable populations. Besides this group, there is a target rich environment of people who attend who advocate for many of the same issues At Large is interested in. This conference is often held in Europe and in San Franciso and other regions and has been attended by other RALOs who have done successful outreach. We, in NARALO, hope to have the same success. Not only do we hope to increase our Canadian members but also hope to reach many civil society groups who are not as familiar with ICANN as they are with other Internet related groups.

Our goal for this event is to focus on the under represented groups or locations. With the growth in the number of individual members in NARALO this could also be a good recruiting place for NARALO. We see great opportunity to meet US based non profits from various parts of the under-represented parts of the US at the conference.

Many people are interested but do not have an organization or their organization is global and so they do not see a place for them within At Large. We hope to educate them and get them engaged within At Large. Additionally, this is also a very fertile grounds to recruit people to At Large whose only knowledge of ICANN is NCUC. Many groups do not see a fit with them and have not joined, but possibly see a better fit with At Large and NARALO. We also hope to entice other people who have been members of NCUC but are not very active to come and join with us in NARALO as individual members.

Many people at ICANN are not as familiar with At Large and having a person there who can explain about what at large does, who it advocates for, and how to join and become active is essential. Having the supported traveller person who is also be a speaker on one of the panels has more persuasion for them since we can explain all the different ways to get involved and the opportunity to create new programs and target different populations.

Will actively do booth duty at the event during the three days to help ICANN Staff, I have NARALO brochures already. but no banner
