This Workspace has been created to assist the ALAC/At-Large community in developing FY21 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.
FY21 ALAC/ALT Plus Criteria for Additional Budget Requests: (TBC)
- In the post-ATLAS III environment, proposals should include activities that will make the entire At-Large community more effective in policy advice development.
- 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.
- Priority will also only be given to those who have provided draft reports as requested as part of the FY20 ABR approval language. Final reports must be submitted by the end of FY21. For Details see: At-Large FY20 Additional Budget Request Implementation Workspace .
- 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.

| LACRALO | Adrian Carballo | LACRALO Academy at the LARALO General Assembly scheduled to take place during ICANN70 in Cancun. | We will carry out Training activities on topics that represent milestones in the process of Evolution of the Multistakeholder Model within ICANN and Update of Policy Issues within the LACRALO Directory. Fortunately, part of the LACRALO Board of Directors actively participated in ATLAS III, which allows us to ensure an application of what has been learned and an evolution of the process. Our proposal seeks to promote greater participation from countries such as Nicaragua, which has been more actively incorporated shortly before ATLAS III. As part of our regional strategy to promote the participation of countries that are not yet represented in LACRALO, our activity focuses on creating the Regional Strategy, for Five (5) years, that allows us to engage more members with active and informed participation . We want to create an Information Bulletin which allows us to give an institutional voice to the Organization Regional and globally promote the most important activities and information of the Organizations of Users (ALSs) of the Region. Type of Training: Education/training - Capacity Building / Policy Discussion / Outreach Deliverables:
SME: David Plumb Travel Support: For any ATLAS III participant who is not funded for the LACRALO General Assembly. | ||||
