| Glenn McKnight | NARALO ALAC | At today's Capacity Building Session the Chair was looking for new ways to engage the community. Garth, myself and Alfredo Calderon suggested that we start looking at comic books. In fact Alfredo and I have worked using AR Augmented Reality as a tool to teach people complex ideas. As Heidi arranged with Ashwin to discuss the ways and means to convert ALAC materials to using AR. Here is a short video explaining the value of comic books and AR Video Comic Strips Illustrated comic |

| Garth Bruen | NARALO Chair | Monday: Chaired NARALO Monthly Meeting; key action items 1) Active support this week for the NARALO Newsletter, 2) Comparison of Post ATLAS II objectives and At-Large recommendations to the CWG (are we staying on message?), 3) Explore the idea of having a sub-regional meeting in NYC over the summer. At the SO / AC High-Interest Topic (15: 15-16: 30) I served on the panel addressing the issue of the process of what to do with the surplus new gTLD auction funds. My recommendation is to stay within the documented ICANN mandate and examine areas where the mandate being failed. In particular in the area of extending services to the disabled, this would an excellent use of the funds. |

| Dev Anand Teelucksingh | LACRALO | The At-Large Technology Taskforce (TTF) held its session on Monday. Agenda page and slides can be found here: https://community.icann.org/x/V5o0Aw An electronic version of a TRAVEL TIPS for BA was produced and emailed to all and hard copies distributed. The session was well attended by various ICANN staff to give information and answer questions. Outcomes from the session include issuing a call for persons from other AC/SOs after the Also, the slides and discussion received attention from two persons in the GAC who have asked to join the TTF. Futhermore, met with LACNIC representatives at the ICANN meeting who were receptive to share information on their policy development process and associated tools) they use, with potential to contact the NRO which could ask all the RIRs for such information. |
| Dev Anand Teelucksingh | LACRALO | Attended the "ICANN In Your Language" session on Monday which started after the TTF session, so arrived late. Two things of note: Language Services has a wiki space at ICANN LANGUAGE SERVICES which offers resources such as
What piqued my interest was the collaboration work with ICANN communications and Language Services to develop Global English Guidelines for authors. I asked whether such guides would be made public and the response was that it wasn't planned but if there was interest, they may. I also asked about if there was any Global Spanish Guidelines, which they didn't plan for. However, the Language Services Team's interest was peaked by the query and said they will look to compile some resources. This could prove useful for LACRALO and possibly a webinar could be done when the Global English guidelines work are completed by ICANN.

| Dev Anand Teelucksingh | LACRALO | Attended the DNSSEC for Everyone; A Beginners Guide session - the skit with the various persons illustrating the concepts of DNSSEC (what happens when there is no DNSSEC and what happens when DNSSEC is used). Perhaps concepts like this can be applied for outreach and capacity building videos. |
| Judith Hellerstein | NARALO Secretariat | Sunday June 21 attended the opening session with At large and the NCSG. Much of the work that many of us in At Large are working towards and that we are striving for is also being done within the NCSG either in NPOC or in the NCUC so is great we are trying to collaborate together. what most interested me in this meeting was that we find much more common ground with the folks in NPOC than with NCUC. Was shocked to hear that NCUC did not support the principles and problems we see with some of the new GTLD's like .doctor, while NPOC and some in the other constituencies agree with us. |

| Judith Hellerstein | NARALO Secretariat | Accessibility Working Group meet to discuss the results of the accessibility survey that Gunela, Glenn and I worked on. Talked with the ICANN staff, especially Diane Schroeder, who were there about raising the culture of accessibility and how it needs to be thought of just as one thinks about languages. In discussions at the meeting and afterwards I feel that staff have really understood this message and am hopeful for changes. |
| Judith Hellerstein | NARALO Secretariat | June 22. Attended the Women in DNS breakfast which had about 80 people there. The DNS Women’s breakfast is a regular event at ICANN meetings, aiming to promote networking, information and resource sharing.
