This Workspace has been created to assist the ALAC/At-Large community in developing FY20 Additional Budget Request (ABR) proposals. The ALAC Finance and Budget Sub-committee (FBSC) will review all proposals submitted and will agree on which to submit to ICANN on behalf of the ALAC.
FY20 ALAC Criteria for Additional Budget Requests:
- Proposals should include ways in which will make the entire At-Large community more effective and develop the At-Large community rather than a single section of the At-Large community.
- Outreach should not be a major focus. Activities to improve engagement with existing members is encouraged.
- If any request is made on outreach, it should go through the CROP program or as a part of a larger ALAC request for RALO Discretionary Funding.
- RALO requests should be strategic and in line with their RALO's strategic outreach plans and must be endorsed by their RALO prior to being submitted for consideration by the FBSC.
- Staff is currently expecting that basic resources for community communications/printing will be supported through the core ICANN budget, but that community proposals for printing , etc. will be accepted as a back-up in case expectations change. Specific proposals for communications resources beyond simple printing and editing functions should be prepared and submitted.

CROSS-RALO | Eduardo Diaz on behalf of all RALOs | At-Large Livestream Broadcasting Channel | We propose that the RALO’s have full broadcast capability to help them engage with their community in a regular and systematic fashion. We propose the use of broadcasting tools such as Livestream or and ZOOM to enable the RALO’s to organize within their own regions and provide opportunities in other regions to participate when needed. The tools will enhance the effective communication amongst the ALS’s and their membership by giving them low cost broadcasting tools for in-reach and outreach Team leaders can self-organize topics of their own choice and then share with the content via Youtube, VIMEO or offline tools such as RACHEL ( see note). | |||
