- October Monthly Call Occurred as scheduled 8 October 2012
- Working Group Analysis Working Group List: At-Large Working Groups
- Going forward the Chair will review the NARALO Operating Principles regularly to ensure we are working within these parameters and create a running commentary here so all members are aware of these principles (there are 18). The first principle being: "The North American Regional At-Large Organization (NARALO) promotes and assures the North American user participation in the ICANN policy development process. It is formed by the unaffiliated individuals who meet the requirements under rule 17 and by those North American At-Large Structures (ALSs) accredited by the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC)."

- The following brief report comes from NARALO Member Annalisa Roger on the Women in the DNS session:
"The Women in the DNS met alongside ICANN North American meetings in Toronto. A breakfast room filled by 7 a.m. Monday morning, October 15, just prior to ICANN's opening meeting with enthusiasm to support each other, to network, and to reach out to local business women. Founder Karla Valente and the original advisory group met later in the week to further develop the mission and ability to serve its growing membership, which will include a website. The group was founded at the March 2009 meeting in Mexico and has met every ICANN meeting since then, growing in number. The Toronto breakfast was sponsored by Uninett, DotGreen, and Neustar. Local Canadian Joan Kerr, Director of FBSC.org in Canada, gave an inspiring address about her own experience developing programs that unite women to support their achievements and others. The event provides an opportunity to meet and connect early in the week, promoting further dialogue in other Law and Policy Forums during the ICANN assembly. The meeting is an integral and popular way for women, typically outnumbered in the industry, to make connections and deepen their interaction with the ICANN community. The next meeting of the DNS will be Monday morning of ICANN in Beijing, China. For more information, visit LinkedIn and Facebook.com/DNSWomen." The following brief was submitted by Glenn McKnight on the ICANN Village NARALO Table:
"The table was effective. We organized the time slots in DOODLE and staff supplied a eye catching pull up banner and the brochures for the table top. The NARALO Outreach table was staffed by volunteers from 10 to 3 o clock from Monday to Thursday outside the ICANN reception zone permitting it to be a "go to place" to talk to NARALO members and gather information and application forms. Each of the sponsored Naralo ALS's who attended the capacity sessions did a supreme job in signing up on was a great demonstration at low cost ( banner and printing) to reach out and inform the ICANN community our role and presence. Those volunteers who were volunteer their time away from busy sessions include: Garth Bruen, Monique Chartrand, Gordon Chillicott, Edwardo Diaz, Randy Glass, Louis Houle,, Joan Kerr, Glenn McKnight, Dana,Perry, Annalisa Roger, Gareth Shearman and Alan Skuce. Special acknowledgement needs to be made to four special individuals. Monique Chartrand, Gordon Chillicott, Gareth Shearman and Alan Skuce who really shouldered alot of the load at the booth and they the extra mile picking up the slack for other members who were obligated at various meetings."

4. Working Group Analysis. The Chair is undertaking an effort to review NARALO's working group participation to ensure we have the most balanced participation possible. The chart below shows the current status of our working group participation. Over the coming months we will attempt to increase participation where it is light, archive dormant working groups, and engage our new members on their interests so they can join working groups.
