It was from eight a.m. until eight p.m. sometimes Well, if you count the Social so that’s not fair. But sometimes we went even longer. And yeah, we went from everything from personal presentation all the way to how to manage the Board. So, there was very intense training in three days.". , David's report start on transcript page 7. Excerpt: "It really was an excellent program from my perspective as a newcomer to ICANN. I would like to highlight the fact that we had the North American School of Internet Governance, which started just before the ATLAS III Program, and between the two programs, I certainly a much better understanding from NASIG for Internet Governance in general, and then from ATLAS III, I have a very good understanding of how ICANN operates with the MultiStakeholder environment, with the different process, as well as the specific soft skill that were being introduced for each of us as leaders in the ATLAS III Program". Alfredo's report on NASIG starts on transcript page 8. Excerpt: "...[participants] had the opportunity to interact with representatives from different sectors and organizations within the internet ecosystem. We had Andrew Sullivan, the CEO and President of ISOC. We had Board Members from ICANN. We had from the Public Sectors, Civil Society. I mean, we had representation from all the sectors so that the audience, the participants, could have a good idea of what happens within the Internet Governance Organizations and how they can better serve the different organizations that were represented.". Judith report starts on transcript page 10. Excerpt: "And we had very active discussions on cyber issues, on learning about domains and RARs, on gender, on connectivity issues. We ranged the gamut of a series of different Internet Governance work. One of the topics was is ICANN still relevant and talked about what ICANN’s role is the new government area. And so, we had a collection of different ICANN Board Members because they were in town for the ICANN Meeting, and so we had very good representation of the ICANN Board mixed in with some of long time speakers, as well as we had discussions with the RARs and the difference in RARs and ccNSO, and what the difference in all the different constituencies are."

    Please join the weekly  At-Large Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG) meeting.

    Recently Ratified by the ALAC (since last NARALO Monthly meeting)

    Next Steps to Improve the Effectiveness of ICANN’s Multistakeholder Model
    The ALAC summarized its comments as follows:

    I. Strengthen ICANN’s bottom-up multistakeholder decision-making process and ensure that work gets done and policies are developed in an effective and timely manner.

    Issue 1: Prioritization of work. ALAC feels this must be addressed (Category A). Some suggestions include: spreading the workload, increased outreach (ATLAS III, further incentives to keep contributing volunteers, adequate knowledge and resources (specified in II) The entire community,as well as ICANN.org must contribute to the resolution of this problem.

    Issue 2: Precision in scoping the work. This issue may fall into Category A - must be addressed - or Category B -- might be partially addressed in current processes. We foresee scoping that is tight and smart and relevant to the process. It is impossible to say who should be responsible when so much activity around it is unresolved.

    Issue 3: Efficient use of resources. This is a category A issue which must be addressed. We recognize that it might be partially addressed by current processes but cannot assess the situation until these processes are completed. We are concerned that PDP 3.0 may offer efficiency at the cost of inclusiveness which we feel would be a backwards step in the evolution of ICANN’s MSM.

    Issue 4: Roles and responsibilities and a holistic view of ICANN. This is a category A issue although it will require further processes to resolve. ALAC seeks a bottom-up review of roles and responsibilities as an independent process. 

    II. Support and grow active, informed and effective stakeholder participation.

    Strategies to expand the concept of participation are offered as well as various resources and support needed to ensure informed participation. We consider this to be a Category A issue -- the model cannot evolve if it is not addressed. This is a major concern for At Large and other volunteer-based constituencies and all will need to be involved in addressing it. Support from ICANN,org and the Board will be necessary.

    Issue 5: Representativeness and inclusiveness. Mentorship programs are a key part of ensuring that the MSM system remains representative and inclusive. Relevant constituencies as well as staff need to make sure these programs are working as they are intended and that they are reaching the right demographics. Inclusiveness at the leadership level needs to be improved through a bottom up process with staff assistance.

    III. Sustain and improve openness, inclusivity, accountability and transparency.

    Issue 6: Culture, trust and silos. This is a category A issue that needs to be addressed in this process. All constituencies need to reach across their boundaries, respect for other viewpoints must be reinforced. This is a problem in many large organizations and there are professional services available to help build trust and cooperation. By engaging some of these services, ICANN.org could help constituencies build a better working environment.

    Issue 8: Consensus. Creating conditions that would facilitate consensus is the goal of the issues already listed.

    Recently Ratified by the ALAC (since last NARALO Monthly meeting)

    DRAFT PTI and IANA FY21 Operating Plan and Budgets
    The ALAC noted that the proposed PTI and IANA FY21 Operating Plan and Budgets are aligned with the ICANN Strategic Plan, and are also very similar to previous years' budgets. An adjustment in the PTI budget is noticeable, including adjustments in salaries, services and other administrative cross-charges from ICANN to PTI or IANA.

    However, the ALAC pointed out that a change is in process in the Governance of the Root Server System, these changes are not reflected in the proposed PTI and IANA FY21 Operating Plan and Budgets. The ALAC asked several exploratory questions in their response.
