LACRALO Report Nairobi
In December, created a LACRALO Dashboard using Google Spreadsheets for ALSes in LACRALO to
- plan for and keep track of LACRALO and ICANN activities (public policies, briefing sessions)
- track countries in the region where ALSes are present and absent, countries whose ccTLD are in the ccNSO, and combinations thereof.
The dashboard is proving useful to plan for future outreach activities in the region.
To better prepare prospective ALSes to understand At-Large and LACRALO, a LACRALO Brochure has been developed and a final version available in English, Spanish and Portuguese after three draft versions produced.
Work is continuing on a welcome Starter Pack of documents to be provided to new or prospective ALSes joining LACRALO.
Regional review should be completed shortly on an ALS application from El Salvador.
Comments on the ICANN 2010-2013 Strategic Plan were submitted and extensive discussion on the At-Large Board Selection Process during one of our monthly teleconferences. Candidates from the region have volunteered to serve on the various teams in this process.

LACRALO Dashboard
Created a LACRALO Dashboard using Google Spreadsheets for ALSes in LACRALO to plan for and keep track of LACRALO activities.
At the top of the LACRALO Dashboard, you will see several sections you can click on :
- Stats : This is a summary generated from the other sections
- Action-Items : that persons in LACRALO are working on.
- ICANN-Policy-Issues : directly read from At-Large Policy Advice Development Schedule and from the ICANN Public Comment website.
- ALSes : A list of all the At-Large Structures (ALS) in LACRALO, sorted by country along with the ALS website, the ALS representative and the ALS representative email.
- Countries : Shows for each country in Latin America and the Caribbean, the number of ALSes in each territory (directly calculated from the ALSes section) and whether the country's ccTLD is in the ccNSO. This information will be useful for the upcoming ALS-ccNSO survey and for the next section.
- Country-breakdowns : Using the information from the "ALSes" and "Countries" sections, a listing of countries grouped in several columns are dynamically generated. So we can see : countries with ALSes, countries with NO ALSes, countries whose ccTLD are in the ccNSO, countries whose ccTLD are NOT in ccNSO and combinations such as countries with NO ALSes and whose ccTLD are not in the ccNSO.
So the country breakdowns section can be used to plan where to target LACRALO outreach to find new ALSes to join LACRALO.
LACRALO Brochure
Work is ongoing to create a LACRALO brochure using the EURALO brochure as a starting point. A first draft has been created : LACRALO Brochure
LACRALO Starter Pack
The recent accreditation of Nexti has realised the lack of a At-Large Starter Pack, a collection of documents for new ALSes to understand and participate in LACRALO. While documents have been identified, there is need for a document showing how ALSes can participate in LACRALO. Work on this has begun. LACRALO-At-Large-Starter-Pack
