Toronto
a. Calling up the troops. Refers to member of NARALO and At Large. We have been mostly successful getting some people who have not been participating. Encourage everyone to participate. Cross Ralo discussion, which involves secretariat, and everyone seems to like the idea of outreach.
Outreach Event: Celebrating the 5th Anniversary and we have capacity building sessions in the AM and we will have a GA.
Committee to organize events had an excellent organizing Committee.
Suggestion: Glenn, perhaps we could form a small WG to work on a Strategy, this is what I thought in the Secretariats call. We are not going to get new volunteers if we do not know that people will be heard.
Glenn has a sign up list where you can volunteer. We will have more presence during Breaktimes and this is when people are looking for something to do. Then you can talk to potential new members.
We will wear something with yellow.
We are going to have music at the Anniversary Event, Canadian-indigenous music, and we will have the new CEO give a welcome speech and will have sponsoring organization.
All the ALS are all set and if you're having any problems please let staff know.
Details regarding outreach event and these will be discussed on Wednesday.
Evan: Will invite some people to his house on Thursday, and ALAC and NARALO attendees. For Saturday, day after the conference Niagara and wine area.
Question on what is left on budget ? Matt will look into it.
Alan: Better not to ask ICANN's budget.
Garth: Will volunteer money also.
Election Results
There were a few elections, Myself as Chair, Evan, and Darlene and Glenn as NomCom rep.
Glenn: His name is a possibility as Chair of NomCom.
ALAC Updates
OCL: If Glenn is selected then the ALAC will have to choose someone else from the North American part of the world. On the ALAC front there was support for the DSSA Report .
Evan: A number of activities relating to Whois. Drafting group regarding Thick Whois mandatory for all Registries, there is a drafting team for a framework for PDP. I just sent an input this morning to make sure that this is framed with the Public interest in mind. This has become a major issue, there is a necessity to balance public interest along with privacy concerns which has to be done.
Garth made a personal appeal to all to speak with all and he would like to hear priorities and motivation. Garth is available on skype, twitter. He will reach out to other RALO members.
We had a Secretariat's call where we discuss ways to work together.
AOB:
Evan on behalf of Jolly. Question on the buttons
Heidi: We have 50 NARALO buttons and we will order 300 will confirm the numbers.
Multimedia: Glenn to request filming the NARALO
Avri: People are planning NCUC is holding a whole day session on Security and Freedom. Something to consider.
Heidi believes that ICANN will have professional recording.
Garth: Since we have so many of the details, we can move on in a more formal Agenda and we can discuss more on Wednesday. If no other issues we can end the call early.
