The ALAC is requesting Strategic Working Sessions for the ALAC and RALO Leaders to take place on the Saturday prior to the start of ICANN 54 and 55. These sessions, similar to the working sessions on Saturday allocated to the GNSO and the GAC, would allow for extended policy discussions, strategy development and discussion of prioritizing their workload. | The GNSO has engaged in similar activities for many years with substantial productivity. This request is approved on a pilot basis to see if the model can be effectively applied to the ALAC Leadership. Pilot effort to follow GNSO model - support for up to 20 people (2*10 per meeting) one extra hotel night approved for ICANN 54 Dublin and ICANN 55 (Meeting A) only. | Meeting Agenda Session materials

| At-Large FY16 Request for an ALAC Development Session at ICANN 54 Workspace | One day ALAC Development Session for the 15 members of the ALAC, both continuing and incoming members, at the end of the ICANN 54 Meeting on Friday, 16 23 October. This Development Session would have as a goal to foster co-operation within the ALAC as well as planning for ongoing and upcoming projects and activities within the ALAC. This Session would serve as a team-building exercise to increase collaboration and to work more effectively as a virtual global team inter-sessionally. The Session would also include a session on professional skills development. This latter activity would increase the ability of all ALAC members to develop critical skills needed to more effectively participate in meetings and work in a multi-cultural environment. | The GNSO piloted a similar activity in FY14 and FY15 with substantial success. This request is approved on a pilot basis to see if the model can be effectively applied to the ALAC Leadership at the FY16 AGM. Pilot effort to follow GNSO model. Approval anticipates up to 20 travelers only and covers meeting room expenses as well as an additional hotel night stay for meeting participants (several will already be covered by other travel support mechanisms). | Meeting Agenda Briefing book for incoming ALAC Members to be prepared by At-Large staff in collaboration with the ALT. Facilitator for team building exercise. Facilitator for professionals skills development session.

| At-Large FY16 Special Budget Request for a Pilot program for real time captioning of Adobe Connect Workspace | This is a pilot program of captioning for 3 RALO and/or ALAC monthly meetings, and/or 3 Working Group meetings or webinars over one year. Our goal in this pilot is to provide real-time captioning for either 3 RALO meetings a month or 2 RALO and 1 ALAC meeting, and/or 3 working group meetings or webinars a month to enable full participation of all At-Large Users within ICANN. We also want to raise awareness of the importance of including captioning whenever language support is offered. We are targeting RALO meetings since our goal is to increase engagement in ICANN within each of the respective regions. We are also targeting the working groups and webinars for the same reason as well as to promote more engagement from RALOs in these working groups. | Approved on a pilot basis to start in October 2015. ICANN has recognized the value of captioning technology during meeting support efforts. The IT Team has been consulted and is capable of providing limited - but growing accessibility support for community calls and meetings. Amount of calls/meetings supported per month will be determined by the IT Team - pending available resources and technology. Goal will be at least three calls/meetings per month to determine viability. Staff will report on effectiveness of pilot effort and consult with community leaders after the first 3 months of the pilot program. Expected nominal increase of IT expense . | Judith Hellerstein to lead a small implementation taskforce | ||
| At-Large FY16 Request for a Creation of E-Books of ALAC Learner Guides Workspace | ICANN has created introductory guidebooks for newcomers/ learners on various aspects of the ICANN eco-space. These materials are either limited print format or on a non-interactive PDF format This proposal suggests an updating of the materials to become e-book resources for use on mobile, Kindle and other devices. Secondly the material would take advantage of the add on feature of audio reading capability providing audio transcription to the existing materials | Creation of informational community content is a capability that the Communications Team has developed over the past few years. Continuing the trend of successful collaboration, the Communications Team will be allocated FY16 resources to support community content production requests - see FY16 - 54 below. For this particular request, the Communications Team will consult with the NARALO Leadership on developing the appropriate materials to achieve the goals outlined in their proposal. Important to note that Communications Team methodology includes understanding the end goal of each community proposal at the front end, which may not end up to be the exact type of content or media requested yet will achieve the same goal. Staff members of the DPRD will also be involved to help strategize an effective implementation methodology as the e-book documents are likely to be housed on the ICANN Online Learning Platform. See FY16-54 below. | (Outcomes) Learning Modules
