2009 Reports

This comment intent to be a kind of monthly report, but the reality show that the participation, even inside of this WG, still is very reduced and with a lack of knowledge about what is necessary to improve, or how we can do a better job. Our comments during ICANN Nairobi meeting are ratified permanently in each fora where we go, but result impossible to do something without an specific budget or having some tools to make outreach.
In our first call to participation, we ask comments in any languaje, with a compromise to translate it, and after that give a prompt and complete response. comments were "zero". The Senior Manager of participation implemented some webinars (very important initiative), but always only in english.- We want to give a real importance Outreach to all people and not only for whom speack one languaje.So, and summarizing, the situation it`s really difficult, and in some moment we are thinking to share this space with the Outreach WG inside ALAC, because we feel, without Outreach and previous Knowledge, the participation and much more, the engagement, is very complicated to get.
Our next intent to get some participation will be make a second call for participation following the rules of GNSO for WG, and try to achieved some new ideas in order to put on th engine of participation. Also send to every ALS leader the invitation to design one member of it ALS to work with us in this WG. We expect to start with this work next month with staff support if it possible.
