As for the ICANN offices, the ALAC notices that they are mainly located in North America. If all those offices are needed, it would be better to spread them differently to ensure regional coverage by keeping MDR and Brussels offices, and moving Sydney office to mainland Asia, Washington DC office to Africa and Palo Alto office to LAC region. ALAC believes that if a Regional Office network is required to effectively serve a global community and the strategic objectives and activities of ICANN, then a plan for such (inclusive of a review of and rationalization for location and operation /staffing of existing offices and requirements such as outreach and the work of Global Partnership  and the ACs and SOs), should be undertaken to ensure an effective, efficient, appropriate, regionally balanced and properly resourced and coasted  global offices network and we assume supported by the ICANN community and stakeholders
