Seth Greene: APRALO SHOWCASE WG: 4 MAY 2011
Seth Greene: Hello, WG members.
Seth Greene: Please note: The links expected to be needed during this meeting can be found in the pod at the lower left. (Highlight link and click "Browse To.")
Sivasubramanian M: gisella can you hear me?
Sivasubramanian M: or am I on mute?
Eduardo Diaz: Hello everyone!
CLO: Hi Edwardo
CLO: I Siva
CLO: Gisella is not on the call Seth is
Sivasubramanian M: Hello Cheryl, Olivier
CLO: Siva we assume you are on mute
Sivasubramanian M: I think so, and will ask to be unmuted when I want to speak
Sivasubramanian M: thansk
Charles Mok: Hi I am here.
Seth Greene: Pavan apologizes; he might be a few minutes late.
Charles Mok: But I may get out of the door in the middle of the call and I may mute myself most of the time after first starting the call.
Seth Greene: Understood, Charles.
Charles Mok: I may not be able to use the Adobe room to speak up later too as I get out the door so I have to "yell" to speak later. Just give you a warning first :)
Seth Greene: Hello, Pavan.
CLO: It is just logistics and recording
CLO: Thanks Eduardo
Hong Xue: cheryl, sorry I missed the last part. What was the decision for A.2?
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: can we have the showcase wiki address please?
Hong Xue: My line is verynoisy.
CLO: Meetings will be Chaired from a volunteer selected at the time we as a WG will just function wothout nominated roles
CLO: WG is a TEAM
Hong Xue: Thanks.
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: Oh got it: https://community.icann.org/display/NARALO/NARALO+San+Francisco+Showcase+Working+Group
CLO: That is the NARALO one...
Sivasubramanian M: Oliver, there are three links on the left that point to apralo showcase preparation
Charles Mok: I am back. But seems to be in and out. Sorry.
Charles Mok: Pavan, can you please also acknowledge and ask Siva to talk about the points he sent in an email to the list a few hours ago, at an appropriate point of the agenda? Thanks!
Sivasubramanian M: will do that Charles
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: obtaining information from the ALSes requires a very persistent person. Darlene was the person for NARALO who was persistent enough, pestering ALSes who did not come back to her.
Charles Mok: Thx Siva...
CLO: AfRALO tried to get space for a stall yes
CLO: I disagree wioth it being a non RALO showcase
CLO: the point of these showcases is to show the ALSes to the rest of ICANN
Seth Greene: Pavan, there is a proposed to-do list already up on the wiki, if you'd like.
Sivasubramanian M: It still is an At Large showcase, but with a focus on the region that the RALO represents. It merely expands the scope, the idea is not to be taken as an idea to make this a "non RALO showcase"
Charles Mok: To-do list that Seth mentioned: https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+-+Proposed+Showcase+To-Do+List
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: In general, the host country showcases the country in which the meeting is held. I would be concerned if the showcase, which is precisely here in order for the ALSes to present their activities, had a broader scope to focus on the wider region
CLO: Yes I like a screen approach
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: I fear that it would take the light away from the ALSes
CLO: more interactive WOULD be GOOD IMO
Gisella Gruber-White: Edmon Chung is on the call
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: my comment relates to Shiva's proposal
CLO: ALSes will still "present"
Sivasubramanian M: @Olivier, if there are such implications, then we will stay conservative
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: @Shiva: the keynote speaker is thre to bring crowds. the ALSes are the stars of the show
Seth Greene: Link to Showcase agenda is to the left.
Sivasubramanian M: as long as we get a Star speaker, like Vint Cerf for NARALO
Seth Greene: Link to draft event agenda is at left and here: https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+-+Proposed+Showcase+Event+Agenda
Eduardo Diaz: Cheril is correct. I am in the NomCom this year.
Hong Xue: which one are we discussing?
CLO: the draft event Agenda
CLO: Yes we have already said alternat AV presentations would be welcomed
CLO: but they need to be MORE than BG
CLO: Yes the setting drives the way we can do this
CLO: and I'm all for NOT standing fo a block of time it kills my back
CLO: as long as the translation goes up in text do NOT want to manage ear phone sets and costs
Charles Mok: Echo Hong, but possibly we can also have one ALS present in Hindi too as Singapore also has a large Indian population. Just an idea.
CLO: If we had a few SHORT key notes that would allow is to break uo the ALS contibutions nicely
Gisella Gruber-White: Cheryl - your line is muted so please let us know if you wish to speak
Gisella Gruber-White: Charles still shows as being ON the call
CLO: why I was not the cause of noise
Charles Mok: I will get out of the door now, will get off Adobe, and get off the call line and dial back in soon
CLO: Noted Charles
Gisella Gruber-White: Cheryl - I am being told the noise goes away when you are muted
CLO: Who ownes that job to get the keynotes
Edmon: ya, i was going to ask too
CLO: it should be a LOCAL(ish) person(s)
Edmon: need someone to take the lead to coordinate
CLO: Do we NEED them
Sivasubramanian M: I have a comment: Skip comment period for the sponsorship letter process
CLO: seveal Showcases have NOT
CLO: Nice if we have them BUT
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: agree with Cheryl having several smaller keynotes to intersperse ALS presentations
CLO: YES coats foirst the room for example I thought would be covered by ICANN
CLO: coats = costs
CLO: Time of day also makes a dsifference to cost
CLO: Similar letter went out from AfRALO as well
CLO: did NOT work
CLO: Another question is will the Songapore meeting be providing refresh,ents at breAKS SOME MEETING DO SOME DO NOT
CLO: Sorry CAPS
Eduardo Diaz: ICANN was able to put $1500 + the room + the audio equipment, Google put the rest which was around $6K
Sivasubramanian M: We could also think of a venue across the hotel, if meeting costs are prohibitive at the hotel
Sivasubramanian M: lost audio
CLO: Who has looked at the venue?
CLO: NARALO was HE
CLO: HUGE
Eduardo Diaz: @olivier: thanks for the info
CLO: So then when (part of the week) should we aim for remembering we should make sure we can get maximum BOARD and leadership of ICANN present so there are days to avoid
CLO: I also like the idea of the online registrations
CLO: and we can invite woth RSVP to us Board ICANN Leadership Key people
Eduardo Diaz: @CLO: Tuesday sounds like a good day put it will depend on events ocurring that day
CLO: Yes @Eduardo I would avoid later in the week
CLO: also time of day changes that as well
Sivasubramanian M: That is important, to get Board members and constituency leaders to attend the showcase
CLO: Yes I would avoid Monday this time'
Sivasubramanian M: Thursdays are light
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: thursday's too late
CLO: Thur gets BNO Board
CLO: NO Board possible on Thur
Hong Xue: Wednesday as NARALO did would be good.
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: nobody around on sunday
Hong Xue: People would be too tired to present on Sunday.
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: all getting ready for the purported cocktail in the evening
Eduardo Diaz: I have to go. Please let me know if you need my help in the future.
CLO: and it does not need to be an evening
Edmon: agree no need to be evening
Hong Xue: I've got to go. Thanks to everyone.
CLO: bye Hiong
CLO: ZHong sorry added an I
Edmon: bye
CLO: Bye
CLO: extra letters from my bad typing :-(
Seth Greene: Thank you, everyone.
