Diversity in ICANN Leadership Bodies

(draft)

The diversity includes a broad range of data. To enhance diversity we need to be able to collect those data.

It will be useful to gather the data both from an historical point of view and from a current and future situation.

All the ICANN leadership bodies can be concerned but the first one to be discuss (as the data are already collected and in the last mile to be analyzed) must be the Board.

In future steps (specifically going to a workshop during 2018 IGF) we will need to take into account other leadership bodies of other Internet Governance structure (Internet Society, IETF, IGF MAG…).

Workshop's themes:

- what is Diversity (based on the WS2 ccwg-ICANN accountability document)?

- what are the data that need to be collected?

- evolution of diversity in various ICANN leadership groups

- how to enhance diversity in ICANN leadership groups?

Research/Study and Meeting EURALO/At Large/otherSO/AC joint workshop at one ICANN6x (FY2019)

Financial Request: (Travel Support)

Additional one person from EURALO, one from At-Large and one per body concerned will get involved in this workshop.

And 5 people to IGF 2018.

Internet-of-Things (IoT) and the Increasing Governance Challenge Ahead

IGF 2018 Workshop 

(Draft)

The IoT evolution includes a broad range of industries, including the automotive, finance, consumer electronic devices, retail services, manufacturing, agriculture and other sectors important for sustainable development of the humanity. Central to the solutions and deployments of IoT is unified communication. The unified communication relies heavily on the All-IP-Based scheme for end-to-end delivery of IoT solutions.

All-IP-Based Deployment: what about the Internet architecture evolution? All things Internet rely on implementation and deployment as a set of unified protocols, numbering and addressing. What is the role of numbering and naming in IoT environment?

Workshop's themes:

- what is IoT, how to move the public perception from “smart coffee machine” to industry 4.0?

- evolution of IoT protocols and networks and impact on governance

- IoT (small and big) data parsing, building behaviour models and future risks to privacy of individuals

- cross border IoT (IIoT) data exchange and role of governments

- critical infrastructure: bikes vs. nuclear plants. How do we manage critical objects? Do we really want to connect everything to the Internet?

- IP-less communications: All-IP-Based is not a religion, but business approach. At what conditions is there no need to All-IP-Based devices?

- proprietary protocols and war of standards. ISO vs RFC, history repeats or lessons learned?

EURALO IGF 2018 Workshop: At-Large Outreach and Engagement

Financial Request: (Travel Support) 

3 people would be required from the EURALO members, to travel to the workshop. The fund requests for hotel, per diem is $10,000

NARALO Spanish Language Brochures and Mailcards

The proposal is to request ICANN Communication department to edit and print the NARALO brochure and Mailcard into Spanish.

NARALO’s Team participation in the thirteenth Annual IGF Meeting

Internet Governance Forum (IGF) is a United Nations forum which provides a platform to discuss the multistakeholder Internet governance issues with the global Internet community and attendees from developed and developing countries. IGF is one of the best and prominent venues to present ICANN as a an exemplary of multistakeholder model in the Internet governance ecosystem.

At last year’s IGF At Large had great success in carrying out outreach at IGF and promoting the multi stakeholder model to the larger, diverse Internet community and also introducing NARALO to many new people. To achieve the two goals of presenting ICANN as the exemplar of Multi stakeholder, to engage with underserved communities within NARALO target area, and to engage and outreach to others in the North American we seek to have two travel spots approved to support to two NARALO members to attend IGF 2017. We would like to hold several workshops and side events at IGF 2018. By allocating travel support from ICANN we will increase the participation of NARALO at the IGF.                                                               

We plan to further expand our activities at IGF 2018 in terms of organizing sessions, outreach and awareness raising. Having learnt from our past successful experience, we will again hold a booth at the venue (if approved); we will submit proposals for workshops and side events requests for IGF and we will participate in shaping the schedule and sessions for civil society day which usually takes place one day before IGF. We will also hold an outreach event.                                                                 

As a followup to the successful IGF GENEVA 2018 our plan is to work closely with the Outreach and Engagement Committee in their efforts to expand At Large and NARALO’s  outreach and engagement efforts at the IGF.

Our activities include:                                                      

• Participation at civil society day (day-1) as well as help shape its agenda

Hold several workshop which focuses on ICANN, At Large, and are targeted at the unserved communities within NARALO, accessibility, indigenous, low

• income
• Work jointly with the At Large booth at the IGF
• Hold an outreach event jointly with the Outreach and Engagement committee
• Coordinated booth activities
• Outreach to the all the booth organizers
• Active participation and promotion at the IGF Workshops
• Participate as a NARALO resource person in different workshops
• Collaborate and support activities of other ALAC Members

Although this RALO request and other RALO requests are submitted separate from the At-Large, it is understood that should both be funded, they are complementary and will need to be synchronized
