We also need a briefing call on this.

Discuss NARALO Input into WT C SWOT analyses

Beau: Our income is requested into this.  The time is running short on this and we need to get into this document and get our hands dirty.  Perhaps we need to schedule a separate call.  If we don’t make our statements known here, it will be difficult to complain further down the road.  Do we agree with their analysis of the situation?  Perhaps we don’t need a separate call.

AI: Beau will send a follow up message on the SWOT analysis to the NARALO list and provide preliminary input on behalf of NARALO.

Preparations for the NARALO Activities at ICANN SF Meeting

Update on the Townhall Event at Stanford University

We are attempting to get sponsorships for this event.  Darlene is collecting information for the fact sheets.  We have also set up the agenda for this.  Our keynote speaker is Vint Cerf and Rod Beckstrom will also be speaking.  We will be giving Vint a speaker gift.  Each ALS will be given a chance to speak.  Adam will be talking about our outreach efforts.  It should be a very exciting meeting.  We have a conference call on this every Thursday.

NARALO Budget Requests for FY12

Beau: We have asked for a general assembly, presence at three large international technology conferences, and presence at NA meetings.  ALAC has not put forward a judgment call on what is important and what not.
