Notes: 

  • Define 'programmes' that brought value members to the community.
  • Need to think of ways to optimize budget.
  • Outreach Sub-Committee to identify the so-called programs
  • Finance & Budget Sub-Committee to evaluate the resources used so far and understand whether any additional funds is needed 

    • Need to identify which programs that are most relevant to this recommendation and most valuable. We need to have examples, metrics, RoIs to demonstrate which programs are valuabletheir value
    • We need to make some events/activities more effective and not to give them upRe the programs/activities that don't have great ROIs, we shouldn't simply give up but should figure out ways to make them more effective
    • The revenue stream of ICANN is uncertain , and we may be in a position to provide input on the hard decisions and potential hard decisions in terms of cutting programs/activities may need to be made.  
    • GSE have has done events/outreach activities in North America region without contacting or informing NARALO. It would be better to have form RALOs collaborate with -GSE collaboration and improve communication. 
    • Recognize We should also recognize the benefits of that stem from the great synergy between RALOs and ICANN departments (e.g. AFRALO - AFRICANN)
