Travelled for 27 hours from Auckland and then had to wait in a queue for over an hour, in the rain, to register for the IGF, even though it was the day before the event. Fortunately there were others from the Pacific to wait with - John Jack who helped to coordinate the APRIGF in Vanuatu and a colleague. It was daylight when we joined the queue and it was dark when we finally made it into the registration room to get our badges. At the opening ceremony President Marcon sent some significant messages which would be good for us to discuss in our own meetings as well as those with other SO/ACs. Unfortunately many of us couldn't get into the main session room because they closed the doors when all the seats had been taken up - no standing allowed. (This also happened with other workshop sessions as well.)
Glenn was up at the crack of dawn getting the booth ready for the first day of the IGF. The table was fully of brochures from all over, except LACRALO. And our banners that we ordered ages ago had not turned up. apparently tomorrow, so we will see... (photo by Glenn) I was asked to give a brief presentation in Marianne Franklin's "DC on Internet Rights and Principles: Sustainable Futures" but ended up on the panel and having to respond to a range of questions and queries about Sustainability and Human Rights. (photo from Joanna). Because the Cook Islands is preparing for a fibre optic cable I attended a session on "Submarine Cables governance and SDGs" but unfortunately I could only stay for half an hour because of a conflict with the Sustainable Futures session. Natalia and I shared booth minding duties during the Opening Ceremony featuring the French President. The room filled so fast that they locked the doors and didn't let anyone in. But we held the fort. In the evening several if us attended the ISOC cocktail for some social networking.. an interesting evening - short - they'd run out of food before we even arrived Home early deal with emails and to prepare for tomorrow's DC-SIDS session at 12.30 and then the afternoon assisting DIPLO with their reporting activities for the Geneva Internet Platform - Sara Kiden is also an active participant. Another enquiry for information about joining up as an ALS or individual member - what is involved in being a member and how do they learn about what is involved (should we have a brochure about joining up and getting involved - what are the expectations of ALSes and individual members?

Tuesday - Tracy Hackshaw and I initiated some discussion with small island developing states participants to establish an agenda for our dynamic coalition activities in preparation for this upcoming year of IGF activities, before the next IGF in Germany. There was some great discussion among the Pacific and the Caribbean but it would be good to be able to also involve our Mediterranean and African island states in our programme as well. I was involved in Diplo reporting for sessions on: Lightning talk by Professor Lee McKnight (turned out to be Glenn's cousin) from Syracuse Uni who are setting up electricity and internet backpacks in Africa (esp Liberia): and Overcoming barriers to Financing Connectivity - a workshop involving financiers and people working in developing countries. Spare time spent at the booth, writing up my Diplo online reports.	APRALO Leadership Team @ IGF Paris	Glenn and Natalia - the BEST At-Large Photographers
Weds session with Sally Costerton to discuss At-Large engagement with GSE - as workshops in Kobe for a start. Adam Peake to be the GSE Liaison for ALAC and can be added to the Outreach and Engagement mailing list so that he can attend their monthly meetings. Weds session with Ombudsman, Herb Waye - offered his support if and when required. I was the Diplo rapporteur for the lightning session on ICANN capacity building for underserved regions by Lito Ibarra - introduced by Nigel Hickson. Glenn recorded the session for At-Large. Weds afternoon session with Ellen Strickland, InternetNZ, to discuss partnership opportunities for Pacific IGF activities during 2019.	Sally, Olivier and MH	Sally and MH working hard
Overview Another IGF is over and it has been a busy one because it wasn't just about ICANN and At-Large. I was one of the team of Diplo Alumni who reported on every IGF session for the daily Diplo Geneva Internet Platform. I also spoke at our Dynamic Coalition (DC)-SIDS session as well as in the DC-Human Rights session. Our booth included material from Internet Society (ISOC) Chapters who are members of At-Large, and I got to meet lots of At-Large members from around the globe who came to visit. I also met with key ICANN people (Stakeholder Engagement and the Ombudsman) as well as other regional supporters of Pacific events (InternetNZ, Diplo and Dot Asia). ( Evin) Please send any ALS & individual member info to Yatanar Htun, Myanmar. (yatanar@mayanmarido.org). I have given her name to Lianna who is going to be visiting Myanmar.

Urgent ALAC meeting 8 November 2018
An urgent meeting was called today to air some issues with the ALAC regarding selection of representatives for various positions. An in-camera session was held with ALAC members only so that they could discuss the situations involving p 1. the At-Large Selection Committee 2019 and 2. two ATLASIII working groups (Delegates and Programming). Anyone who has contacts for sponsorship in the Montreal area is asked to contact Olivier Crepin Leblond. The final item of the public section of the meeting was Olivier's explanation of the change of status of the CCWG IG to a CCEG IG, and what that implies for At-Large as well as other parties to the current charter. Having explained this to the meeting, we have a chance to reflect on what we aim to do, although there was strong support expressed in the chat and in interventions for remaining with the Engagement group in collaboration with other constituencies. Ths was seen as far more preferable to having our own IG working group. During the in-camera meeting the ALAC members discussed personnel issues: the Leadership course list of candidates. There was no change to the original consensus that all the candidates met with the approval of all ALAC members. It was also condition that was raised was that the LACRALO candidate may not get his visa in time for the meeting in Kobe, in which case the alternate would take over which is normal practice. The Fellowship Mentor application process will go ahead as proposed. The staff will continue with the call for new applicants for the At-Large Selection Committee, and will also call for Expressions of Interest from ALAC and RALO members to be members of the "At-Large Appointments and Selection Committee" having already selected an At-Large Fellowship Selection Committee The third issue was an explanation and confirmation of the selected travellers in the two spare At-Large travel slots for the Kobe meeting. No change was made to the previous consensus call. However discussions did focus on how we might get other important members to the KOBE meeting who really need to be there because of their important role in various committees, representing the interests of At-Large. Various options were discussed. Further discussion will take place at the next full ALAC meeting.
