C.S.3 - Improved consultation among the RALOs and their representatives on ALAC

C.W - WEAKNESSES                                                                   

C.W.1 - Lack of established feedback loop from ICANN
C.W.2 - Communication problems ICANN finance
C.W.3 - No possibility of ROI figure - "investing in At Large is like investing in R&D"
C.W.4 - ICANN currently only source of funds for At Large
C.W.5 - Lack of clear funding schedule/calendar with regards to face to face general assemblies introduces uncertainty
C.W.6 - We need to improve our interaction with the staff during the budget planning process.

C.O - OPPORTUNITIES                                                                         
 
C.O.1 - ALAC/At-Large could provide information regarding At-Large budgetary needs in a more timely manner and in the required format

LACRALO:

Possible use of Fellowship Program to fund ICANN meeting attendance for ALS members who have not previously had this opportunity

Possibility of raising ALS funding for local outreach and inreach from governments

Possibility of raising At-Large funding from IT corporates (most likely those with social responsibility programs), such as registrars and ccTLDs

Possibility of getting ICANN to comply with MOU signed with LARCALO regarding one frequency of General Assembly per year meetings.

C.T - THREATS                                                                            

C.T.1 - Limiting ALAC's budget could:
    1.  Directly and severely affect outreach capability
    2.  Allow for fewer or no face-to-face meetings (including but not limited to GAs, ICANN meetings, Summits, RALO meetings, other "inreach" efforts, etc.) 
         a.  Possible consequences could include ALSes' abandoning At-Large, reducing At-Large's usefulness and legitimacy
