ARIWG Plan Development

Implementation Development

Staff, under the direction of At-Large
leadership, has already begun to
rework the website and Wiki to ensure that our “Policy Advice” pages are accurate and understandable. This will continue as volunteer and staff resources allow. We will also ensure that as documents are published, the classification of the document is clear.

The ALAC Chair will work with members
of the ALAC and staff to better
communicate the role and activities of
the ALT ensuring that it is clear what the
ALT does and does not do.

The ALAC has begun to review our WGs,
ensuring that the ones we have are
active and relevant. We have also
started the process to revamp our WG
web and Wiki presence to ensure that
all WGs are properly represented and
documented. Groups no longer active
will be segregated, but still documented

Need for increased At-Large Community awareness and staff training regarding the use of social media.

To the extent allowed by ICANN’s
mission and available funding, members
of At-Large and the At-Large
organizations will continue to, and
potentially increase, our involvement
with other I* organizations as a method
for increasing the visibility of At
-Large, exploring areas for mutual collaboration and for attracting additional At-Large volunteers.

At-Large will continue to work closely
with GSE Staff to contribute to regional
outreach plans and to encourage
participation in a cross
-community, cross-organizational fashion.

At-Large has struggled to reflect/process end-user opinion; barriers to individual participation; perception of unchanging leadership group.

At-Large is increasingly focusing on
individuals (both unaffiliated At-Large
Members as well as members within
each ALS) instead of just ALS voting representatives. Four of the five
(RALOs) allow individual members and
the fifth, LACRALO, has already
approved the concept and is developing
the detailed rules. We will also use the
ALSes to communicate with those within
an ALS who may have an interest in
ICANN.
RALOs have also started to identify
experts on ICANN topics within their
ALSes and among individual members
and to increasingly engage them in
ALAC’s policy work. Thus, a bi-
directional flow of ICANN information continues to be strengthened.

These activities will require the production of information that is truly
understandable (as identified in a recent
ALAC-GAC Joint Statement) and
available in multiple languages. As some
of this will need to be created by At-
Large staff, additional resources may be
needed.
We would suggest that At-Large Staff
continue to work together with At-
Large Leadership in looking for effective
methodologies to coach and onboard
new policy volunteers and leaders to
facilitate the development of their skills
and encourage them to stay and deepen
their knowledge and expertise
Regarding the perception of unchanging
leadership, statistics reporting
involvement will be published.

Continue to look for opportunities to
utilize and develop the skills of At
-Large support staff while ensuring that the positions taken by At-Large represent solely those of users. Ensure that the volunteer community has sufficient support services so as to best utilize their volunteer time.

This may require a shift or development
of skills among At-Large Staff as well as additional staff.

At-Large will continue to evolve its
processes through its bottom
-up, consensus based, community deliberations and update as and when
needed.

ALAC input to a coordinated ICANN Outreach sub-optimal.
