Strengths                                                                            

- Membership diversity can bring talent
- In-house knowledge of Budgeting requirements within At-Large

Wiki Markup
\[Budgeting requirements?\]
  (OCL: yes - added)
- Improved consultation among the RALOs and their representatives on ALAC
Wiki Markup
\[What committee?  ALAC's Subcommittee on Budget and Finance?\]
  (OCL: replaced "committee" with ALAC. Not only the ALAC Subcommittee on Budget & finance since some regions might not be represented on this committee)
- Cost-effective actions
- Experience sharing among RALOs  
- A bottom-up budget structure for At-Large                                                                     

Weaknesses                                                                   

- Lack of established feedback loop from ICANN
- Communication problems ICANN finance
- No possibility of ROI figure - "investing in At Large is like investing in R&D"
- ICANN currently only source of funds for At Large
- Lack of clear funding schedule/calendar with regards to face to face general assemblies introduces uncertainty
- We need to improve our interaction with the staff during the budget planning process.

Opportunities                                                                        
 
- ALAC/At-Large could provide information regarding At-Large budgetary needs in a more timely manner and in the required format

Threats                                                                            

- Limiting ALAC's budget could:
    1.  Directly and severely affect outreach capability
    2.  Allow for fewer or no face-to-face meetings, thus triggering ALSes to abandon At-Large and, thus, potentially ending At-Large's usefulness

\[(a) Review rewording; (b) by face-to-face meetings, do you mean GAs, ICANN meetings, etc.?\]

2. Allow for fewer or no face-to-face meetings (including but not limited to GAs, ICANN meetings, Summits, RALO meetings etc.)
  - possible consequence could be ALS abandon of At Large - and this would reduce At Large's usefulness and legitimacy
