This Workspace has been created to assist the ALAC/At-Large community in developing FY23 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.
FY23 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 the 2022 At-Large Priority Activities 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 FY22 ABR approval language. Final reports must be submitted by the end of FY22
- 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.

NARALO | Eduardo Diaz, Chair of NARALO. | Purpose The NARALO strategic Outreach and Engagement plan for the fiscal year 2022 was approved by the NARALO membership on 23 July 2021. The plan calls for leveraging the NARALO Social media channels and those of its ALS, as applicable, to reach potential new members outside the ICANN bubble and continue to engage our current membership. The strategic plans' next iteration will consider using the same social media approach. A subscription to a restream broadcasting service is required to execute the strategic plan. This ABR has the purpose of requesting support for such services not currently offered by ICANN. Alignment It aligns with the ICANN mission by providing a conduit to outreach people that are not aware of the importance of ensuring the stable and secure operation of the Internet's unique identifier system and the fact that ICANN, as a multistakeholder organization, offers opportunities for people of any background and experiences to participate in its policy development processes and advisory roles. In the case of engagement, it aligns with ICANN's mission by providing a way to keep current membership active and interested in ICANN's policy development processes and advisory role. Category

Sustainability NARALO will annually assess outreach and engagement efforts to ensure that new and current members are active in ICANN's policy, advisory, and technical work. This assessment should be the basis of future NARALO Strategic Outreach and Engagement plans for subsequent fiscal years. |
