Following on from a successful introduction during the virtual ICANN67 meeting, a series of At-Large policy sessions will be regularly proposed for
subsequent ICANN Meetings to focus on single topics from the At-Large Platform and its priorities.

Executive Summaries have been linked on a separate wiki page since ICANN60 (2017) and clearly differentiate between ALAC comment and advice.

First meeting of the Operations, Finance and Budget Working Group - purpose formally introduced - first operational topic "ICANN Travel Guidelines"

ICANN67 - virtual meeting - talking points developed - 4 x policy sessions presented

Completed: The introduction of the At-Large Policy Platform (video), with an ongoing system of ICANN meeting "Talking Points" and At-Large Policy Workshop(s) to support and encourage policy backgrounding for At-Large community members (initiated at ICANN64).

Redevelopment of a combined Operations and community input into FBSC activity to create the "Operations, Finance and Budget WG" (OFBWG)

Due to an overload of CPWG of public comment expectations, the CPWG have suggested that non-policy issues could be removed from CPWG activity. Chair is considering an alternative venue for non-policy discussions

Completed: A more effective format for penholders to introduce policy comment and encourage participant discussion, was established for weekly meetings of the At-Large Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG)

Completed: The ICANN product development team have worked with the ICANN Board Operations team to update the At-Large website with "sub-type" filters as well as to reclassify historic ALAC Advice/Statements/Correspondence.

Completed: At-Large Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG) presentation format for penholders, weekly meetings.

Report drafts should be ready by May 23 with sub-tasks completed

Two goals to address under this issue: 
(1) Confusion about the type of document (ie  “Advice” vs “Comment”)
Work in progress: Historic ALAC Advice & Comments (found on At-Large Policy Summary).
(2) The “End user” justification for intervention
Work in progress: ALAC Hot Policy Topics Document (Jonathan Zuck & Joanna Kulesza to present draft at ICANN65

Completed: ALAC Advice & Comments marked accordingly since ICANN60 on At-Large website (found on At-Large Policy Summary).

• AG to advise JZ/EE on historical ALAC policy statements, to categorize as comments vs advice.
• EE has requested ICANN product development team to update At-Large website with "sub-type" filters.
• EE/HU to follow up with ICANN Board Ops team on historic ALAC Advice/Statements/Correspondence.

Completed: New (ongoing) system of ICANN meeting "Talking Points" for At-Large community members (started at ICANN64), and At-Large Policy Workshop(s) (started at ICANN64).

Implementation steps:

1. Finalize categorization of previous statements (comments, advice, correspondence, etc.)

2. Rename Sub Type to Document Type

3. Populate list options for document type based on document categorization exercise

4. Populate the “End User Interest” (EUI) field for previous comments

5. Begin logging EUI going forward.

Metrics

1. Clear and Accurate Distinction between statement types.

2. Statements filterable by type

3. Populated EUI fields.
