- Leadership Training
- Next Gen
- Fellowship
- CROPP

- Language Services
- Online courses
- ATLAS
- RALO Face-to-Face General Assembly
- Continue & increase support for the aforementioned programs
- Identify the appropriate staff members as recipients
- Continue to provide support for people to follow ICANN activities remotely:
- Cameras (more rooms, not just the ALAC ones)
- Remote Hubs
- (O&E SC):
- EURALO will organize a networking and outreach event after the GA (coordinated with Jean-Jacques Sahel); it is an open event and is also an opportunity for other RALO members to participate. The event will invite ISOC Europe and will circulate a special invitation for European chapters to participate in the networking event.
- Question from Maureen Hilyard regarding support issues for the outreach & engagement programs identified – if specific programs are identified, it can be submitted as part of the budget request or FY 17. O&E SC can help identify appropriate programs. There will be discussion with Xavier Calvez for members to understand how this can be done.
