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.

| ALAC | Maureen Hilyard | Access by RALOs for Funding of Local Engagement Activities | The FY18 and FY19 ABR requests for RALO Discretionary Funding have shown to be extremely useful and effective for the RALOs within the At-Large community. Thus, for FY20 the ALAC requests that each of the five RALO’s be given access up to $6,000 each for targeted discretionary funds to permit the support of such activities as catering, meeting room rental for such activities as At-Large Structure read out sessions, registration fees, displays, graphics and travel within their region – as well as one cross-regional activity. As shown by the number of useful activities requested and approved to date in the implementation of the similar FY19 ABR and the FY18 ABR, it is clear that opportunities exist for At-Large members to do local, regional and even international outreach and engagement about ICANN and ICANN policy related issues. The incremental increase being requested for FY20 would allow continued support for outreach and engagement activities during the critical time of the At-Large Review implementation. In particular, as outlined in the At-Large Review Implementation Plan, high priority Issue 2 which focuses on the development of more ‘Individuals’ from throughout At-Large as contributors to Policy work and Leadership roles, would benefit significantly from the ability of At-Large members to have access to funds for outreach and engagement. Giving the RALOs the ability to identify outreach engagement activities which they can self-organize provides ICANN and the At-Large Structures with an efficient local team that is knowledgeable on ICANN policies. This results in grass-roots awareness-raising of ICANN in communities that are key for At-Large and ICANN. This project saw year on year significant increase in the number of requests and successfully implemented local events. An additional year of ABR funding would allow this program to build on its success in allowing RALOs and At-Large Structures to reach out to and engage with local, regional and even international communities. This request is being made to ensure At-Large Structures may continue to engage in outreach and engagement activities, including travel., with the assumption that the CROP will remain reduced in the final FY20 Budget. | |||

| ALAC Subcommittee on Outreach and Engagement | Daniel Nanghaka | At-Large Global Capacity Building at IGF Berlin | The proposal is for organizing an effective and coordinated At-Large activity during IGF Berlin on November 25-29, 2019 which is a premier global event targeting global stakeholders in the Internet Ecosystem. The aim is an improved coordination of At-Large and other ICANN participants to promote and heighten brand awareness of ICANN-ALAC-At-Large with banners, posters, brochures and giveaways that help to raise general awareness but which also attract attention and invite people to ask questions about ICANN-ALAC-At-Large and their global and regional activities, as well as how they may get involved. . The request is for two members of At-Large Outreach and Engagement WG (or their substitutes) who are actively involved with the IGF community events and specifically the IGF Berlin event, committed to time at the At-Large booth and confirmed as speakers, moderators or reporters for various MAG-accepted IGF workshop/panel sessions. The team of 6 will enhance the ratio outreach to the over 2900 delegates anticipated to be present at the IGF. Furthermore, with over 2900 participants at the IGF gives an opportunity for a strong outreach team to the IGF in Berlin, with special interest that a session proposal will be submitted and furthermore reach out to potential individual members to join At-Large with expectations that they will be active participants in the ICANN PDPs. Support being requested: Capacity Building, Education/Training, Travel Support, Meeting We request for 2 travel slots for O&E leadership to match reaching out to the over 2900 members or delegates at the IGF Berlin via the daily trade show booth, workshops and social events We also look forward to add value and support to the GSE outreach and engagement programs at the IGF through constant collaboration. |

| 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. And 3 people to IGF 2019. | |||

| 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. | |||
