Strengths                                                                          

- Membership diversity can bring talent
- Local knowledge brings unbiased view of operations: 
    1. Lower costs of implementation 
    2. Alerting ICANN to another angle

Wiki Markup
\[Unclear.  Suggestion: Increased ability to change approach when appropriate\]
  (OCL: unsure about your suggestion. Suggest: provide ICANN with local insight
- Local knowledge:
Wiki Markup
\[Must distinguish this heading from similar heading above; both refer to local knowledge; state how second one here is different than above\]
  (OCL: agreed - and I must admit I am stalling on this, so I'd like the input of others, please)
    1. Grassroots input 
    2. RALO involvement is an asset   
- On-the-ground, workable and well-defined actions 
- At-Large uses electronic tools to bring its members' different backgrounds and expereinces to bear on planning process
Wiki Markup
\[No longer under Stategic Planning.  In meeting, decided to move from there to here.\]
 (OCL: OK with that)

Weaknesses                                                                   

- At-Large reacts slowly
- At-Large maturity still not completely achieved

Wiki Markup
\[Why was "maturity" capitalized?\]
(OCL: typo / we were really running out of time)
- Translations: 
    1.  Number is limited
    2.  Delays exist

Opportunities                                                                      

- Strengthen maturity of At-Large by improving processes

Wiki Markup
\[Why was "maturity" capitalized?\]
  (OCL: typo / we were really running out of time)
- Use At-Large as a powerful communication channel
- Operating plan could be a useful tool for a well-prepared budget
Wiki Markup
\[Unclear due to word "for."  Suggestion:  Operating plan is a useful step in preparing an accurate budget.  Also, do you mean At-Large operating plan?\]
  (OCL: yes + yes -> At-Large Operating plan is a useful step in preparing an accurate budget)
- Use At-Large's ability to convey ICANN's message locally
Wiki Markup
\[What about it? How is it an opportunity?\]
  (OCL: it is an opportunity because so far, this avenue has not been used by ICANN Staff & Board)
- At-Large could incorporate public participation into ICANN's operarional planning
Wiki Markup
\[You do NOT mean Public Participation Committee here, do you?\]
 (OCL: no - it goes further than that)
- At-Large comments, as result of consensus-based process, should be considered by ICANN Board and staff 
- Actions proposed by At-Large should be considered by ICANN
Wiki Markup
\[What kinds of actions? Pt. right above refers to policy advice\]
 (OCL: others might wish to comment on this.)

Threats                                                                            

- Lack of means

Wiki Markup
\[Unclear.  "Means"?  Suggestion:  Lack of funding \-\- and then state what it risks\]

- Less operational exposure 
Wiki Markup
\[Could do what?\]
- Lack of volunteers
Wiki Markup
\[Could do what related to operational planning?\]
