Implementation Details The new At-Large website has the function of automatically tagging, curating, and organizing ALAC advice, At-Large news, ICANN news, and reference resources based on topic areas that the At-Large Community has sustained interests in. This function helps the Regional At-Large Organizations track the development of those topics, as well as reflect RALOs’ inputs and contributions to those topics. |

However, RALOs still need to take a more active role in sharing with the wider At-Large Community about their topics of interests and activities related to those topics. Currently, RALO leaders report on their RALOs’ activities via the RALO Secretariat Report, but the formats of the Reports are not consistent across RALOs and they are not easily accessible or sharable. The leaders in the North America Regional At-Large Organization took the initiative to design a form-based template to facilitate the process of reporting RALO activities related to their topics of interest. This template needs to be further refined, promoted, and implemented across RALOs to fulfill the requirement of this recommendation. Next Step RALOs will develop an appropriate tool and mechanism to report and share their activities related to their topics of interest. |

Notes:
- :
- TTF has worked on a template on Confluence for RALO Secretariat Report
- The news page in the revamped At-Large website will incorporate template that can be potentially used for reporting purposes; login for community members will be worked on after the Beta site launch
- :
- RALO secretariats may be able to use a form-based template to provide updates via the new At-Large website
- RALO secretariats may be able to use a form-based template to provide updates via the new At-Large website
...
Input from Social Media Working Group:
...
- The TTF looking to syndicate RALO topics across all RALO wiki pages using the Confluence’s wiki capabilities.
- Wiki addons such as Confluence Questions (http://bit.ly/1EUah6O) & group chat applications may allow for such crowdsourcing of topic discussions; TTF to continue evaluation
- To ensure regular updates from RALO chairs and secretariats in a form suitable for sharing, a template to standardise the information collected from RALOs is being developed
- A template has been created in wiki for RALO secretariats to fill out and track topics of interest. The template is not viewable to the public at the moment
- The new At-Large website has features to automatically organize public comment proceedings and news articles based on policy topics, but this only partially satisfies the recommendation
