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.

EURALO | Wale Bakare | Diversity in ICANN Leadership Bodies | The diversity includes a broad range of data. To enhance diversity we need to be able to collect those data. It will be useful to gather the data both from an historical point of view and from a current and future situation. All the ICANN leadership bodies can be concerned but the first one to be discuss (as the data are already collected and in the last mile to be analyzed) can/must be the Board of ICANN. In future steps (specifically going to a workshop during 2019 IGF) we will need to take into account other leadership bodies of other Internet Governance structure (Internet Society, IETF, IGF MAG…). Workshop's themes: - what is Diversity (based on the WS2 ccwg-ICANN accountability document)? - what are the data that need to be collected? - evolution of diversity in various ICANN leadership groups - how to enhance diversity in ICANN leadership groups? Research/Study and Meeting EURALO/At Large/other SO/AC joint workshop at one ICANN6x (FY2020) Travel Support: Additional one person from EURALO, one from At-Large and one per body concerned will get involved in this workshop.

EURALO | Wale Bakare | Internet-of-Things (IoT) and the Increasing Governance Challenge Ahead - Workshop at the 2019 IGF | This is a request for support of a EURALO Workshop at the 2019 IGF. The IoT evolution includes a broad range of industries, including the automotive, finance, consumer electronic devices, retail services, manufacturing, agriculture and other sectors important for sustainable development of the humanity. Central to the solutions and deployments of IoT is unified communication. The unified communication relies heavily on the All-IP-Based scheme for end-to-end delivery of IoT solutions. All-IP-Based Deployment: what about the Internet architecture evolution? All things Internet rely on implementation and deployment as a set of unified protocols, numbering and addressing. What is the role of numbering and naming in IoT environment? Workshop's themes: - what is IoT, how to move the public perception from “smart coffee machine” to industry 4.0? - evolution of IoT protocols and networks and impact on governance - IoT (small and big) data parsing, building behaviour models and future risks to privacy of individuals - cross border IoT (IIoT) data exchange and role of governments - Critical infrastructure: bikes vs. nuclear plants. How do we manage critical objects? Do we really want to connect everything to the Internet? - IP-less communications: All-IP-Based is not a religion, but business approach. At what conditions is there no need to All-IP-Based devices? - Proprietary protocols and war of standards. ISO vs RFC, history repeats or lessons learned? Support being requested: Leadership/speaker - Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond, speakers - Wale Bakare and Andrei Kolesnikov, Bastiaan Gosling The fund requests travel support for $10,000. | |||
