NARALO AGENDA: Monday, January 9, 2012
Quote of the day: "Delighted by the reactions his buffoonery produces, he is having the time of his life, like a canine wallowing joyfully in his own crap."
-- Article in AlterNet about, among other things, GoDaddy's reversal on SOPA, and the writer's opinion of CEO Bob Parsons
1. Budget submissions
Thanks to: Darlene, Evan, Gareth
Brief summary: Darlene, Evan
The notion this year was to ask for big-ticket items (i.e. Toronto GA, 'booth' events at trade shows)
2. Costa Rica meeting: 60-day countdown
Summary: Beau
Paperwork due today: travel forms, banking forms etc.
We will hold a NARALO meeting at the regular time, for those who want direct access
Issues, goals, policy suggestions
3. 'New' RAA working group formed in at-large
Summary: Beau (co-chair)
Brief issue summary: Alan Greenberg
Goals of new working group:
* Refining the 'aspirational' charter to make it more of a real one
* Determining real needs for future RAA amendments
* End-user "bill of rights": Is it adequate?
4. Recruitment video project
Thanks to, and summary from: Glenn/Joly
See: NARALO Outreach Video- Longer version
Shorter Video after feedback
Version 2
This version has Sub Section Intros
Version 3
Soft launch two weeks before Costa Rica meeting
5. Survey project
Thanks to Glenn/summary by Beau
Survey questionnaire is completed
Broad range of questions, some controversial about ICANN's scope
What's needed now: FEEDBACK on survey questions.
We want to DEPLOY this survey right after Costa Rica meeting.
6. Rob Hall/Nomcom/ICANN leadership capture and credibility concerns
Beau agreed to produce draft letter and has not yet done so. The intent is to write the letter and then ask for discussion time at Costa Rica.
Other business:
* New gTLDs, JAS report, Evan's statement: Evan
* SOPA/PIPA: NARALO has been largely silent. Should we say anything about this, and if so, what? Or can we offer support to NCSG?
* NARALO statement to U.S. Government (Olivier/Evan/Beau): Statement encourages government leadership to regard the at-large as place for end-user feedback.
