Issue 9 - Need for increased At-Large Community awareness and staff training regarding the use of social media
Final Proposal as approved by the Board | The ALAC will request additional staff skill development in the area of social media, and to work cooperatively with ICANN Communications social media specialists. |
Prioritization | 2:2:2 (Medium needs : Medium risk : 2nd priority) |
ARIWG comments | This task is related to Activity Item #8 about using social media to assist At-Large with its outreach attempts to attract more participants into our policy development areas and how we can do this more effectively. Also linked to Capacity Building Program as a transversal objective to build O&E, besides disseminating information. Regional members produce newsletters about local regional events and issues. At-Large policy inputs into these monthly information sheets from the CPWG would ensure a consistent information pathway to better understanding of the status of relevant policy advice from the At-Large community. ICANN communication specialists are unfortunately not social media specialists. ARIWG agrees there is a need to well-designed capacity building program for staff only on social media engagements. Noting the need for communications experts who don't speak ICANNese and who can package the message in a way that the end user can relate to it. |
