Remote Participation Details

DIAL-OUTS

During the Call:

If you are not in a country which has a toll-free number (see list below), please use the form at http://go.adigo.com/go/outlink.php?sid=7298. This allows you to have the automated dialer dial-out to you. IMPORTANT: please precede your country code with 011 instead of 00. The dialer will only be able to ring you if you use 011. You can only use this option once the call has started - it cannot be used to request a dial out in advance.

In Advance of the Call:

If you request a dial-out in advance, the operators will call you approximately 10 minutes before the meeting starts. Please make sure you are ready to accept the call. The audio quality of the teleconference is greatly improved if participants use landlines instead of mobile telephones.

PROBLEMS DURING CALLS

If you have a problem during the call, including where your connection drops, please do not email staff or other participants, as they are unlikely to be watching their email during the call. Instead, send an IM to the Adigo call operator at AOL/AIM ID: d4500, or IM one of the ICANN staff on Skype, AIM, or Windows IM Addresses. You can find these at the bottom of each email sent by any staff member.

Access Code: 1638

DIAL-IN NUMBERS:

USA: Toll-Free (North America Only): +1 (800) 550-6865 / USA Toll: +1 (213) 233-3193

First, LACRALO Secretariat request that ALAC revise the statement on Global Outreach in the Draft statement on FY2008/2009 Budget and Operational Plan with one that explicity reminds ICANN that funding is required to support messaging of ordinary internet users of its role in internet governance as well as the policy positions it adopts. For example, some of the outreach activities of ARIN could be adopted. I know the AT-Large staff has prepared a brief in this area but I would recommend that we make that objective as explicit as possible.

Secondly, LACRALO Secretariat endorses the entire statement on a policy for volunteer travel.
