Access by RALOs for funding of local engagement activities (Draft) | ALAC | For FY19, the ALAC again requests that each of the five At-Large Regional At-Large Organizations (RALO’s) are given access up to $2,000 each for targeted local discretionary funds to permit the local travel, luncheons, displays, graphic and promotional Facebook/Twitter graphics. As shown by the number of useful activities requested and approved to date in the implementation of the similar FY18 ABR, it is clear that opportunities exist for At-Large members to do local outreach and engagement about ICANN and ICANN policy related issues. Giving the RALOs the ability to identify local engagement activities which they can self-organize provides ICANN and the At-Large Structures with an efficient local team that is knowledgeable on ICANN policies. This results in grass-roots awareness-raising of ICANN in local communities. This project saw significant increase in the number of requests and successfully implemented local events. An additional year of ABR funding would allow this program to build on its success in allowing RALOs and At-Large Structures to reach out to and engage with local communities. | |||
ALAC Leadership Team (ALT) Strategy Sessions (Draft) | ALAC | This request is for a post-ICANN meeting ICANN Meeting Review and Planning Session. It will occur at the end of each ICANN meeting held in FY19 and will include the ALAC Leadership Team (1 person per Region), the Liaisons to other AC/SOs, other advisors to the ALT (typically the recent past ALAC Chairs of not there in some other capacity) and critical At-Large support staff. This strategy meeting will include a number of components:
Our experience is that in the absence of such a meeting, people disappear immediately for 1-2 weeks to either relax (rare!) or to catch up on their real lives and jobs after being at the ICANN meeting (often taken as vacation time from their real jobs). We then spend considerable time scrambling to get organized again and we inevitable do not quite make it, decreasing the ALAC and leader effectiveness and significantly increasing stress (on both volunteers and staff). In contrast, the ALT Strategy Meetings held to date at the last several ICANN Meetings through previous ABRs have provided space for key discussions on ALAC policy, priorities, and leadership challenges resulting in solid actions that have considerably advanced the work of the ALAC. The ALT Members have expressed that these meetings have provided exceptionally important opportunities for strategic development and team-building. Several other AC/SOs increasingly hold inter-sessional meetings lasting several days with additional travel and accommodation to allow for strategic thinking environments. However, the ALT currently has found that these half day strategy sessions are sufficient for the time being. | |||
