  Terri Agnew:Welcome to the ALAC Website and ALS Database call held on Wednesday, 27 April 2016 at 18:00 UTC

  Terri Agnew:Website wiki:  https://community.icann.org/x/tMPhAg

  Terri Agnew:ALS Criteria and Expectations Work Space:https://community.icann.org/x/AohCAw

  Terri Agnew:Hello, this call will start a few minutes late. Others are finishing up on another call.

  Laura Bengford:Thank you Terri.

  Terri Agnew:Joining in the next few minutes

  Terri Agnew:we are joining now

  Nathalie Peregrine:excellent!

  Laura Bengford:I understand your point Alan

  Ariel Liang:I'm sharing my screen now and it may help better illustrate the front-end / back-end ALS database that Laura is talking about

  Ariel Liang:*front-facing

  Nathalie Peregrine:Currently empty as this precise ALS was accredited BEFORE the online form was available

  Laura Bengford:Ariel, you may want to show the Application Form also.   The question is do we need to keep an audit trail in the DB for changes or if keeping a PDF of it is sufficient

  Nathalie Peregrine:That was going to be my next question.

  Nathalie Peregrine:We would need one application form repository and a contact info separate page (updatable)

  Laura Bengford:Or maybe keep in the DB, the original application data and the current.

  Nathalie Peregrine:Agree, database would have far less information than the application form currently contains

  Nathalie Peregrine:I can happily work with Laura, Corinna and Ariel, and keep Alan in the loop.

  Laura Bengford:Thanks Nathalie. 

  Nathalie Peregrine:YAY thanks!

• The geo coordinates of the ALSes in the Google map need to be part of the database

 Yesim Nazlar:Welcome to today's At-Large Website Revamp Call taking place on Monday, 22 February 2016 at 19:00 UTC

  Alan Greenberg:I guess we are using 3535 (since no subscriber on 1638)?

  Yesim Nazlar:Yes Alan, 3535 please

  Laura Bengford:Welcome everyone!  We are pleased to be providing a final review of new At Large website and prepare for Launch!

  Laura Bengford:Marc Salvatierra is staff Yesim

  Yesim Nazlar:thank you very much Laura!

  Ariel Liang:https://newatlarge.icann.org/

  Heidi Ullrich:Could Advice Development be changed to Policy Advice Development, please?

  Heidi Ullrich:Is there any way we could select by Open WGs and By Appointment WGs?

  Heidi Ullrich:and to go one step farther, is there any way we could (manually most likely) note which WGs have openings?

  Laura Bengford:Thanks Alan, good point.  We'll address that

  Laura Bengford:We also need to fix that for Accessibility.  That is logged.

  Alan Greenberg:Grammar police!

  Laura Bengford:These are easy things to change in our content editor!

  Laura Bengford:I think the group type will evolve, to your point Heidi.  We can certainly easily update that.

  Laura Bengford:We are not changing the existing process for mailing list, just directing folks to it.

  Marc Salvatierra:@TEAM if you'll please excuse me for 15 minutes -- I need to help troubleshoot an issue -- thanks

  Laura Bengford:sure Marc, thanks

  Yesim Nazlar:Thanks for letting us know Marc!

  Laura Bengford:oh dear, you are good Olivier!

  Heidi Ullrich:Wow, impressive, Olivier!

  Laura Bengford:If there is anything you are seeing that is a showstopper for Launch, please flag that. Otherwise, we will fix after launch.

  Laura Bengford:Good suggestion Alan.  Maybe change link text to Explore all ALAC Members and Liasons

  Laura Bengford:We do not generally display email addresses for purposes of bots scraping websites, but we can check with legal on the icon.

  Heidi Ullrich:Could we used the format of the Board page: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/board-of-directors

  Laura Bengford:Yes agreed Olivier, we'll check on this.

  Heidi Ullrich:The Board site doesn't have their emails on it

  Heidi Ullrich:Could the emails be removed before launch?

  Laura Bengford:I think so Heidi, I'm checking

  Heidi Ullrich:Thanks. Both from ALAC and RALOs leaders, please

  Heidi Ullrich:it is : from the ALAC to the GNSO

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:AKA the Hilyard Twins

  Laura Bengford:We could spend months, fixing photos :)

  Laura Bengford:We should click to Profile to learn that?

  Laura Bengford:Or point to another page?

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:we should put medals under the names. so 10 years and you get a gold medal. 5 year silver. 3 years bronze. Also for each wrking group you get a medal too. So you can end up with huge medal collections under each name. Very Soviet style. And the Accountability CCWG gets you a chocolate medal.

  Laura Bengford:I think they call those "Badges" Olivier.  

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:like the Scouts, yes!

  Laura Bengford:The important thing about the generic content is it allows At Large to easily add more content, regional , RALO, etc.

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:but jikin aside, the concept of badges is often used. Ebay's star seller badge is a living proof that this works really well. So we could have a different colour badge next to an ALAC member that shows how many years of experience they have

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:of course we need to make sure it doesn't end up dividing the community as some people will claim they should have a better badge than others

  Alan Greenberg:http://gnso.icann.org/en/about/gnso-council.htm

  Marc Salvatierra:looks like Arabic is aligned left but flows right-to-left

  Marc Salvatierra:alignment is what needs to be adjusted

  Heidi Ullrich:Is that document available in the 5 UN?

  Heidi Ullrich:If not, it would be a challenge for people who don't EN to read how to get to a translation tool...

  Ariel Liang:We can send to translation service to translate that document and add it to the top navigation

  Heidi Ullrich:Yes, please Ariel

  Ariel Liang:okay

  Heidi Ullrich:9 mins until Transition call

  Alan Greenberg:My mistake, Google translate did not support Kingon (although Bing translate does). But Google does support a Klingon search interface https://www.google.com/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=9W3LVuRN6IzxB-iZsrgE&gws_rd=cr&fg=1

  Ariel Liang:In case you are curious about this migration spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12ynw1CaQOHnkhnDZKFBzBTyIo9FXLUbFllu0ddIbEfM/edit?usp=sharing

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:Excellent news re: accessibility

  Ariel Liang:Accessibility info on wiki: https://community.icann.org/x/M4s0Aw

  Marc Salvatierra:@ALL I have a hard stop -- have a great day ahead

  Ariel Liang:thank you for joining Marc!

  Heidi Ullrich:@Laura, if launch goes ahead, will there be a note that content is being updated, still and list the major milestones ahead?

  Heidi Ullrich:A huge well done to all involved!!!

  Heidi Ullrich:what a project!

  Laura Bengford:Thank you everyone!!!

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:maybe you can call it "Admin Log-In"

  Terri Agnew:Welcome to the At-Large Website Revamp call on 23 November 2015 at 19:00 UTC

  Terri Agnew:main workspace: https://community.icann.org/x/tMPhAg

  Jeff Salem:Hi Gisella - I need to be unmuted

  Alan Greenberg:adigo code?  Agenda says 3535 but that is same as last meeting.

  Laura Bengford:It is 1638

  Alan Greenberg:Thanks Laura

  Jeff Salem:I need my mic turned on

  Laura Bengford:Jeff, you need to dial in via phone

  Jeff Salem:thank you

  Alan Greenberg:That's what I presumed.

  Alan Greenberg:On bridge now.

  Alan Greenberg:I have a hard stop at the 90 minute mark.

  Laura Bengford:Would all ALAC leaders have icann profiles?

  Ariel Liang:noted Alan

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Interesting point re: noting the country of origin for ALAC members ; should the ALS the ALAC member is be noted also ?

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:My comment on the country list is because at the moment in the staff list, the country listing is not consistent. Some staff have no country listed. Some staff have their nationality listed. Some have the country of the office they are in listed

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:I mean, we're not the GAC ; I understand the need to show the diversity of ALAC to highlight the country, but 2/3 of the ALAC comes from ALSes in RALOs...I'm thinking the ALS should be noted/listed as well

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:@Dev: good point

  Laura Bengford:Ariel, can you show the status dropdown

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:Current public space about decertified At-Large Structures: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Former+At-Large+Structures+Workspace

  Jeff Salem:Gisella - I lost my mic & host status when I got disconnected

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Especially because an ALS can challenge their decertification with the ICANN Board and/or Ombudsman

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:So Transparency is important

  Laura Bengford:We can work with the rules

  Alan Greenberg:We do not need to debate the rules here. This is a web discussion.

  Laura Bengford:We can also discuss the webpage with the ALS taskforce as well when ready

  Ariel Liang:MVP = minimal viable product

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:;-) just recently, one person who joined At-large in 8 weeks became an ALAC member :-)

  Laura Bengford:In order to be a member of RALO, you have to belong to an ALS or be an individual member, is that right?

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:@Laura - yes, you have to be an ALS to be a member of a RALO ; RALOs have different rules allowing individuals

  Laura Bengford:Thanks Dev.

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:@Dev: not in all regions. Some regions have individual members, so you do not need to be a member of an ALS

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Yes, that's what I said, RALOs have different rules allowing individuals ; some RALOs do ; some RALOs do not and are moving to explicitly block individuals

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:I should say one RALO in particular is moving to block individuals ;-)

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:@Alan: you're spot on regarding having people joint GNSO working groups. Remove the leadership roles that open up only every few years and replace those with the opportunities in GNSO working groups

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:@Dev: I note that this one RALO is actualy acting against the recommendations of the last At-Large Review process.

  Laura Bengford:Should Leadership section go to a different page altogether or remain on WIKI?  One idea we were experimenting is how to show the stakeholder journey.  Maybe this is premature.  Also how would be best articulate the expectations and qualification?

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Well, we can highlight/list  the "public facing" WGs

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:that can accept volunteers, open to all, etc

  Laura Bengford:Maybe "Listen" v. "Join"

  Laura Bengford:Follow

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Yeah follow the group/WG

  Ariel Liang:'observe' v. 'join'

  Alan Greenberg:Sounds closer to what we need

  Laura Bengford:I just lost my audio

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:+1 Alan - "Contributing to our Efforts" is where we need to have the information on the different ways to get involved

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:sub-pages regarding ALS or RALO or whatever - but on this page let's have only links to these places

  Laura Bengford:Actually in this mockup, 'Mailing List' is the call to action for 'Follow'.  Join is the higher level option.  We will have to revisit based on today's discussion.

  Laura Bengford:Thank you everyone!

  Ariel Liang:bye bye

• Ariel Liang to share the mockup of revised Get Involved page with Dev Anand Teelucksingh & Outreach & Engagement Subcommittee
• Ariel Liang to organize a taskforce call with regard to Working Group tool that Steve Allison & Jeff Salem have been working on

  Ariel Liang:Hello all! welcome to the brainstorm session

  Siranush Vardanyan:that may always happen, Ali:)))

  Maureen Hilyard:Like you Cheryl... the ccNSO meeting went on for 2 hours..

  Maureen Hilyard:starting at 2am for me..

  Siranush Vardanyan:Maureen, you still have flu?

  Maureen Hilyard:Siranush...getting over it slowly!

  Siranush Vardanyan:goice is still not get

  Maureen Hilyard:Im going to Wellington in NZ next week - 4 degrees - flu again???

  Siranush Vardanyan:sorry, typing via phone is always a challenge;)

  Maureen Hilyard:Looking good, Ariel

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:The numbers change the topics at this stage do not Holly

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:Yup Jeff  it is a dynamic ;-)

  Maureen Hilyard:We have an introduction to APRALO in our Rules of Procedure

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:Yup we can quote thast Maureen

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:kliteraslly as a masthead on the page

  Holly Raiche:good question Maaureen

  Holly Raiche:And goodd point - does it use ICANN language, or language that people use in their daily lives

  Siranush Vardanyan:related to current issues or activities, apralo wiki space is constantly being updated and info is posted

  Siranush Vardanyan:we can link to wiki space as well

  Holly Raiche:True - it hopefully will be useful for members to easily find what they are looking for - as well as attract newbies - a hard call

  Siranush Vardanyan:+1Cheryl

  Maureen Hilyard:+Cheryl

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:Good Jeff thanlks

  Holly Raiche:Just a thought - have a clear way for users to find out what all the acronyms stand for

  Siranush Vardanyan:both are important

  Holly Raiche:@ Siranush +1

  Maureen Hilyard:Yes Jeff.. it is a hard call when we have to address the different objectives of the RALO role - recruit and retain

  Siranush Vardanyan:mous, webinars

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:the theme is Celebrating  not increasing Diversity

  Maureen Hilyard:APAC Hub - related, CROPP -related activities

  Maureen Hilyard:Yes selective - the activities have to be specifically ICANN-related

  Maureen Hilyard:Partnerships with regional organisations and collaborative efforts

  Ali AlMeshal:can you hear me

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:Also  various  Regional and Sub Regionsla as well as Country based  activities  ike our IGF  works

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:I do hope so Ali

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:ALSes  tend to do more than has to do with ICANN but a RAL should be ICANN Core value and mission focussed

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:Wow ahead of the game for once

  Maureen Hilyard:The individual nature of each ALS  contributes to the diversity of the views and opinions of each ALS.. so sometimes it is really interesting to see what they are doing in their own countries

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:Exactly Maureen

  Ali AlMeshal:+1 Maureen

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:Probably with no more than a shared calander for events  but the ablility to link to other RAALO activities   should be as Holly outlined  not much more IMO

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:Yup ability to drill down to more info of other RALOS

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:but that could be from the Parent ALAC page anyway  ues

  Ali AlMeshal:Yes  a tab to Other Ralo will be great and then drop down

  Maureen Hilyard:Yes.. the parent RALO page can link regional pages and activities

  Ariel Liang:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FEm44uwMNdplK1TVbqTwkQhH0qUqXfGTGkKNhO-gb-k/edit?usp=sharing

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member::-)

  Terri Agnew:Sending now

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:Thx Terri

  Ali AlMeshal:i was never ever confortable with Wiki

  Maureen Hilyard:We have always asked for a one-stop-shop for information or somewhere where we can get the info we need..

  Holly Raiche:This map is useful - any chance of a site map for RALOs on the home page for RALOs

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:Yup that is a good way to go IMO  Jeff

  Maureen Hilyard:+1 Jeff

  Maureen Hilyard:So the webite will be general information that the staff will put together from our workspaces?

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:I think most of us assumed we would be dealing with just the first 4 questions in this call Ariel   not doublke the amount ( assuming you did actually *want* feedback frim us on this call to the questions posed

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:The ability to lonk out to the ALSes  page is iumportant  IMO

  Siranush Vardanyan:+1Holly

  Ali AlMeshal:+1 Holly

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:We shoiuld use more SM

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member: so set it up and we wuill get it going

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:The full suite of SM  not just a FB page

  Maureen Hilyard:+1 Cheryl

  Holly Raiche:I'd say go a bit slowly - let's get the webpages right first

  Siranush Vardanyan:and we have pavan in social media wg and can ask him to keep the fb page and he also twitting a lot on ap activities

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:Exactly  Arial

  Maureen Hilyard:We are using  individual FB pages for RALO pics etc.. it would be more convenient to have one site.. :)

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:not so simple  for OUR divers Region  ;-)

  Siranush Vardanyan:+1Maureen

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:As I said  Yes where useful

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:when a  great 'bable fish' app  comes along  sure but only worthy MT  is worthwhile

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:I assume we may need to meet again before go live ;-)

  Ali AlMeshal:bye all

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:Bye all

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member:Thanks everyone :-)

  Silvia Vivanco:yes I was

  Laura Bengford:More French speakers than English.  That is key.

  Silvia Vivanco:Exactly Laura, the same is in LACRALO  more Spanish than EN

  Silvia Vivanco:so we have 2 truly bilingual regions

  Silvia Vivanco:the website  must  be bilingual

  Laura Bengford:For the inventory of AFRALO statements, we can include a filtered view of statements on the RALO page.

  VANDA:hi Terry

  Laura Bengford:Hello Everyone, welcome!

  VANDA:Hola Alberto como estas?

  VANDA:hi LAura,

  Terri Agnew:Adobe connect is joined on English, please let me know if a dial out is needed for the Spanish Channel for audio

  VANDA:hola Silvia,

  Laura Bengford:Hi Vanda!!

  Alberto Soto:Olá Vanda!!

  VANDA:hi Ariel

  Laura Bengford:Hola Alberto!

  Ariel Liang:hello all

  Laura Bengford:Let's hold till 3:05

  Laura Bengford:Oops, 22:05 UTC

  Alberto Soto:Hola a todos! Hello everyone!

  Alberto Soto: Humberto is to connect now

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Hello everyone

  Terri Agnew:Welcome Humberto Carrasco

  Laura Bengford:Interesting, the ALS activities.

  Humberto Carrasco:Hello everybody

  Laura Bengford:This website, http://icannlac.org/

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:yes

  Laura Bengford:Is this the GSE calendar, https://features.icann.org/events-near-you

  Laura Bengford:Or the at-large google calendar on the WIKI?

  Laura Bengford:Good point, we need to bring all these events and info together.

  Alberto Soto:@Laura, google calendar It is an option

  Laura Bengford:Thanks Alberto

  Humberto Carrasco:yes Alberto

  Alberto Soto:is a general option for all Ralos

  Terri Agnew:Juan Manuel Rojas has joined on audio Spanish Channel

  Laura Bengford:Maybe the LACRALO page on new At-Large site includes the RSS feed from ICANNLAC.org

  Laura Bengford:Good idea Dev

  VANDA:+ 1 Dev

  Ariel Liang:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FEm44uwMNdplK1TVbqTwkQhH0qUqXfGTGkKNhO-gb-k/edit?usp=sharing

  Laura Bengford:Are the LACRALO specific activites only on the WIKI or also on ICANNLAC.org?

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:lacralo specific activities are on the wiki

  Laura Bengford:In general, yes but remember we will have more capabilities to have more dynamic content on the website so something to think about.

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:but would the At-Large website allow for all members to interact and put content ?

  Laura Bengford:Not at launch, it will go thru the secretariat but we will have more admin capability to update content.

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:I think that's the issue - the At-Large website should start with the most relatively static content

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:and experiment gradually with dynamic content

  Laura Bengford:Yes, Vanda. focus on the "Call to Action" - Join, attend event, working group etc.

  Laura Bengford:Gradual is good :)

  Juan Manuel Rojas:I believe that some WG inside LACRALO could manage info about our region.

  Laura Bengford:ALS Directory, https://community.icann.org/display/LACRALO/LACRALO+ALSes

  Juan Manuel Rojas:Yes Laura, but uploaded also in website

  Laura Bengford:Yes Juan Manuel, that is what we were thinking.  Maybe with a optional link to social media or activities link

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:https://community.icann.org/display/LACRALO/LACRALO+ALS+Brochure

  Juan Manuel Rojas:I have too much noise to talk. So I will write my comments.

  Ariel Liang:thanks Juan

  Laura Bengford:QR codes on the the brochure!

  Juan Manuel Rojas:But I think we need also dinamic content a news from region about ALS or ICANN o subjects related. That serves two purposes, to inform our ALS about what is happen in our region and also to newbies.

  VANDA:good idea QR

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Perhaps what can happen is the latest 2 or 3 ALS social media updates that can be included with the ALS description

  Laura Bengford:Could give them a template page if they don't have a website.

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:so there is a static info about each ALS and a latest activities heading which pulls from their twitter or facebook

  Juan Manuel Rojas:@Dev agree, but not only Social Media content

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Re: template page - each ALS is supposed to have a website

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:its part of their accreditation as ALS

  Laura Bengford:Ah, interesting. Is that a requirment?

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:yes

  Juan Manuel Rojas:I another RALO there is a website exclusively about that RALO..

  Juan Manuel Rojas:*in

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Re: social media In theory, yes a WG could do it - but a challenge is that which WG member can speak of all of LACRALO ; this is a challenge faced by the At-Large Social Media WG

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:perhaps the discussion of RALO specific social media accts can be discussed in the Social Media WG

  Juan Manuel Rojas:@Dev, we dont need to talk about all LACRALO, we need to talk about what LACRALO does

  Laura Bengford:Machine translation also depends on good English content to begin with.  Using good "plain english" will help.

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:ICANN Language services and Communications are working to develop Global English Guidelines for authors

  Laura Bengford:Yes Dev, exactly.

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:I was asking whether there were Global Spanish Guidelines

  Laura Bengford:Light translation for formal content on the RALOs should not be a huge effort.

  Juan Manuel Rojas:I can do that.. updating.. if  information alreday exist

  Juan Manuel Rojas:*already

  Laura Bengford:Thank you everyone! Some very good insight.

  Alberto Soto:Ok Ariel!

  Alberto Soto:Thanks everyone!!

  Juan Manuel Rojas:Thank you every one...

  VANDA:thank you!

  Ariel Liang:thanks all!

  Juan Manuel Rojas:Gracias a la interrprete

  Glenn McKnight:Holy cow  all NARALO  people  on the call

  Glenn McKnight:yes

  judith hellerstein:yes I see the screen

  Murray McKercher:yes see screen

  Glenn McKnight:Judith  you are in the middle of the  introductory  picture.  I wonder who's  picture  this  is?  

  judith hellerstein:what you see my face?

  Glenn McKnight:yes  you in the  fourth row  i think 

  Glenn McKnight:Gunella is in the row  in front of you

  Glenn McKnight: Did we get these  questions  in advance?

  Glenn McKnight:NARALO  is  a  geographically based  organization  with the primary  role of  advocating/speaking on behalf on the  non-business community, 

  Glenn McKnight:Speak about the concerns of the  civil  society

  Glenn McKnight:Important  issues,  Net  Neutrality, privacy,   Internet  rights,  broadband  issues  etc  with an onus  on the rights of the end  users

  Glenn McKnight:Issues

  Glenn McKnight:1.  National Broadband  policies

  Glenn McKnight:2.  Fair  internet  pricing  to all  NA  residents  ie. rural, first  nations, far north etc is  another  issue

  judith hellerstein:are you on the phone as well or did you want me to say them for you

  Laura Bengford:Yes Glenn, topic based.

  Glenn McKnight:3. Activities  in region  by some  ALS's   including   Livestream educational  sessions  by  ISOC  NY,  ISOC  Canada  symposium etc

  Alan Greenberg:How do those issues relate to ICANN and its remit?

  Glenn McKnight:Since  I  upgraded to Windows  10  I am having  lots  of  issues  with SKYPE  and some of my devices

  Glenn McKnight:Noise  from my  mic  so it's  muted

  Glenn McKnight:Question  2  I assumed  you meant  what  the NARALO  ALS's  are  doing

  judith hellerstein:I will wait for glenn to type

  Glenn McKnight:CIRA  and Open Media  in addition to  Citizen Lab and the  Munk  Centre on Global  Affairs  are  outspoken on  Bill C51, Privacy, Net Neutrality issues

  Glenn McKnight:NARALO   activities-   We  have  requested to Chris and Joe  to do  outreach at University of  Ottawa  with ICANN

  Glenn McKnight:We have not  had this type of  discussion with NARALO

  Glenn McKnight:NARALO  has  been  leaders in pushing for  a  First  Nations  Fellowship and  Accessibility issues

  Laura Bengford:Also think of issues that prevent you from doing work, or are difficult like engaging new volunteers.

  Glenn McKnight:Challenge  for  NARALO  is the   disadvantage we have in obtaining  new  blood  as othe  RALO's  do  since the  Fellowship  program  doesn't permit  the US  territories in the South Pacific or  First  Nations

  Glenn McKnight:Othe r  Ralos  get fellows  into the system

  Silvia Vivanco:I think a list of issues , at least some issues  which have been important for NARALO can be very useful

  Glenn McKnight:If you are saying  that  other  RALO

  Glenn McKnight:one  sec  I am phoning in

  judith hellerstein:good

  Glenn McKnight:On the phone now

  Ariel Liang:This is the document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FEm44uwMNdplK1TVbqTwkQhH0qUqXfGTGkKNhO-gb-k/edit?usp=sharing

  Glenn McKnight:What does the colours  mean?

  Laura Bengford:purple is at-large website, blue is icann web, and RALO colors

  Glenn McKnight:no  the  colours  below the headers

  Glenn McKnight:ie.  in  Red   Vice  Chair

  Glenn McKnight:When change  happens  some  stuff  is lost

  Alan Greenberg:http://gnso.icann.org/en/about/gnso-council.htm

  Alan Greenberg:https://archive.icann.org/en/committees/alac/

  Laura Bengford:Understood we need to get to the "archive"

  Murray McKercher:No right to be forgotten in the ICANN Archives :)

  Laura Bengford:Yep :)

  Glenn McKnight:The  design  should  be  compliant for mobile

  Laura Bengford:We are proposing Working Groups to be in the 3rd band.  We are working on a design for that now.

  Glenn McKnight:I think we  need  a landing page for  newcomers  so  they are  navigate  to things  lkie   WG's  etc

  Alan Greenberg:Not to belabour the point, but that list of current ALAC Members says at the top in the header "Please note: You are viewing archival ICANN material. Links and information may be outdated or incorrect. Visit ICANN's main website for current information."

  Laura Bengford:Yes, this is the Get Involved page.  It's next up on deck for us to design

  Laura Bengford:I'm raising my hand for Jeff Salem

  Laura Bengford:Terri, can you add Jeff Salem to the Staff attendees for the record.

  Terri Agnew:I sure will

  Glenn McKnight:We  did  a  redesign for the Linux  Professional Institute  and  we had  four  main  categories  which they self  subscribed to the  track that they  self  identified  and they were taken down a  path  of  topics  dear to them

  Glenn McKnight:I still don't  understand why these  questions  were not sent in advance in a   wiki  for  contribution   

  Murray McKercher:https://community.icann.org/display/digitalservices/Vision+and+Strategy

  Laura Bengford:Our thinking is this listing of ALS can move to the website.

  Glenn McKnight: Perhaps  a  geomap  of the locatioins  of the ALS.  it  reveals  the  gaps

  Laura Bengford:Good thought Judith, we could add search filter by region/city

  judith hellerstein:@glenn do you know

  Glenn McKnight:do I know  what?

  judith hellerstein:if we have a naralo social media acocunt

  Glenn McKnight:Yes  we have  a  Facebook  account  but  it's not  very busy

  Glenn McKnight:ALAC  has  a page

  Glenn McKnight:Most  websites  have  integration  of  Social media. ie.  Twitter  feeds etc into the site

  Glenn McKnight:Seamless integration

  Laura Bengford:We can have share feature.

  Glenn McKnight:Judith-  we  have  translation with Captions  First

  judith hellerstein:Are you talking about google translate

  judith hellerstein:not yet

  judith hellerstein:only english

  Laura Bengford:GNSO uses Bing Translate

  judith hellerstein:i think Google is better

  Murray McKercher:I agree with EURALO sentiment..we have plugins, let's use those

  Alan Greenberg:I've got to drop off now. Thanks all.

  Laura Bengford:Thanks Alan

  Murray McKercher:Thank You all , have a great weekend!

1. Progress overview
2. Discussion

  Terri Agnew:Welcome to the EURALO's Website Brainstorm Session on Friday, 07 August 2015 at 16:00 UTC

  Terri Agnew:Main Wiki Space: https://community.icann.org/x/tMPhAg

  Wolf Ludwig:As it looks, we are still in a holiday situation here ...

  Sébastien:No audio?

  Sébastien:I am back

  Terri Agnew:@Sebastien, let me know if a dial out is needed for audio

  Wolf Ludwig:Welcome ;-)

  Sébastien:thanks that OK

  Wolf Ludwig:Like on our current WS, the new Website should provide all basic infos about EURALO -- but HOW it can become more inter-active or providing incentives?

  Ariel Liang:that's a good point Wolf

  Laura Bengford:Yes, the call to action and Get Involved are very important.  Also the transition between website and WIKI.  We've been thinking about it.

  Wolf Ludwig:Incentives should be a key consideration!

  Silvia Vivanco:Will the beta site  have a "template" site  for all RALOs?

  Silvia Vivanco:it would be useful to see a template "landing page"

  Laura Bengford:Yes agreed Olivier. 

  Ariel Liang:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FEm44uwMNdplK1TVbqTwkQhH0qUqXfGTGkKNhO-gb-k/edit?usp=sharing

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:the hierarchy in the gray bo is where the documents are and this can apparently be arranged. It just takes time to rearrange it

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:what Ariel is showing on the screen now is *exactly* the correct hierarchy. In fact I think some other RALOs already have this hierarchy

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:note 1 G in EuroDIG not EURODigg :-)

  Ariel Liang:okay gotcha EuroDig

  Laura Bengford:The WIKI cleanup may naturally fall after the website is build out.

  Laura Bengford:The other consideration for what moves to the website is who updates

  Laura Bengford:the content. Currently staff updates website whereas community can update content on the WIKI.  For phase 1 staff will continue to update website.

  Wolf Ludwig:The correct / official writing is EuroDIG ;-)

  Laura Bengford:We should try for phase 2 to encourage community to update content to be authored especially for RALO newsletters, events, etc.

  Ariel Liang:got it thanks Wolf :)

  Ariel Liang:we know re the ring :)

  Laura Bengford:LOL

  Wolf Ludwig:IMO -- this should be a small AND reliable team!

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:perhaps have an intern that will spend time updating pages?

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:tha tintern can do this across all of the RALOs too!

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:because I think that so much is going on across RALOs - thre needs to be a full time point person for this to coordinate

  Laura Bengford:Yay, Olivier

  Sébastien:Thanks

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:thanks! looking forward to see results in the future!

  Terri Agnew:Dear all, Welcome to the At-Large Website Revamp Taskforce call on Monday, 27 April 2015 at 17:00 UTC

  Terri Agnew:main workspace: https://community.icann.org/x/tMPhAg

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Hello All

  Ali AlMeshal:hi I manage to get in

  Heidi Ullrich:Welcome, All

  Laura Bengford:Welcome Everyone!

  Heidi Ullrich:Welcome, Jeff!

  Jeff Salem:Thanks Heidi!

  Ariel Liang:https://community.icann.org/x/5wAdAw

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:I like the alignment with Rec 26

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Indeed, good to see the alignment re: Rec 26

  Ariel Liang:https://community.icann.org/x/tMPhAg

  Heidi Ullrich:Sorry, Olivier. I had my full screen on so didn't see anyone with their hands raised !

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond::-) I think of things too hard and then you say them :-)

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:hearing me?

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:np - agree with Alan

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:go ahead

  Heidi Ullrich:Could you write your question?

  Ariel Liang:Homepage: https://new-atlarge.herokuapp.com/

  Heidi Ullrich:Thanks for putting the At-Large logo on the site

  Laura Bengford:Yes Olivier.  WIKI is the working space, web is the final result.  While we build out the website, we may find there are efficiencies that we might want to consider though.

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:excellent

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:in UK during rush hour we probably revert back to 1/2 G :-)

  Heidi Ullrich:Will the status  bar have the same color and just fill the boxes in as each step is completed?

  Heidi Ullrich:Super interviews! Very professional :)

  Heidi Ullrich:Great, Ariel. re videos

  Laura Bengford:Yes, we will have space for the videos as they are available.  we can also easily switch them out if they get stale.

  Alan Greenberg:Same concern as before. Pulling new articles from ICANN.org sounds like another task for at-large staff...

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:There should be some indication that the links on "Latest News and Media" will be going to ICANN.org

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:@Alan, if the ICANN articles are tagged, then it could be a automatic process - show only articles/news tagged "new gTLD" or "IDN" etc

  Alan Greenberg:@Dev, yes, certainly possible. Question is whether that will be the case!  (yes, sometimes I am a cynic!)

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Hmm, so the "News" followed by a number refers to the number of pages about the topic ?

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Not sure what's the value of the number for the News

  Laura Bengford:Dev, yes News could be a link to News topics on icann.org for example.  Not sure if we can get an exact number here.

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:maybe, show latest 5 links under news  for each topic

  Laura Bengford:Alan, good point the number may not represent the importance of the topic

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:because I'm not seeing the value of showing the numbers

  Laura Bengford:Olivier, We will clean up and make consistent

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:@Laura: thanks!

  Ariel Liang:https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Taxonomy

  Ali AlMeshal:sorry I have to leave driving back home and Internet is not stable

  Laura Bengford:Thank you for joining Ali!

  Terri Agnew:goodbye Ali

  Heidi Ullrich:Thanks, Jeff. That makes sense

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:a common taxonomy across all the AC/SOs is good

  Laura Bengford:Thanks Jeff.  We will also be able to leverage the topic tags from Public Comment, News, Subscriptions etc.

  Laura Bengford:This list Ariel is showing is from icann.org Public Comment.

  Laura Bengford:Then we tried to categorize them in to Broader topics.

  Laura Bengford:Alan, good point. There are a few categories of advice.

  Laura Bengford:Would anyone object to skipping 5. Web and Wiki Strategy and jumping to 6 Questions?

  Laura Bengford:in interest of time.

  Laura Bengford:Thanks Alan.  We will definitely have the dash there.

  Laura Bengford:Have good practices on URL space management helps us be more efficient and organized.

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:So "at-large", "atlarge" and "alac"

  Heidi Ullrich:Is using At-Large consistent? ALAC is the actual AC, correct?

  Laura Bengford:Need to resolve ALAC.icann.org and At-Large.icann.org.  Thanks Olivier.

  Heidi Ullrich:so, GNSO, ccNSO, GAC, SSAC, ALAC...

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:perhaps get members of the Capacity Building WG involved ?

  Laura Bengford:Ah, good idea Dev!

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Capacity+Building+Working+Group

  Laura Bengford:Thanks!

  Heidi Ullrich:We can do a show and tell in BA

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Indeed, do an update at BA

  Heidi Ullrich:Thanks so much All Great work!!!

  Laura Bengford:Maybe we can have an interactive demo space at BA meeting or in the newcomer booth or something.

1. Share progress, feedback we heard, and new home page mockups with colors (mockup 1, mockup 2) (15min) 
2. Discuss a list of questions to solicit specific feedback (40min)
3. Brainstorm ideas on visualizing the Policy Advice Development activities (pie chart, bar graph) (10min) 
4. Share Topic Page content ideas from Ariel (e.g. WHOIS) (20min) 
5. Next Steps (5min) 

  Terri Agnew:Dear all, Welcome to the At-Large Website Revamp Taskforce call on Thursday, 18 December 2014 at 22:00 UTC

  Terri Agnew:meeting page: https://community.icann.org/x/tMPhAg

  Alan Greenberg:I am dialing in

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:dialing in

  Ariel Liang:can you guys see my screen? just checking

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:yes

  Ariel Liang:kewl

  Ariel Liang:Our guidance principles for categorizing our content & organizing the homepage: http://goo.gl/UYI59X

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:link doesn't work

  Heidi Ullrich:Cheryl or Anthony would have more info on the font style and colors

  Heidi Ullrich:I would like to see the banner at the top and teh search at the bottom right

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:Newest Mockup is best as far as I'm concerned

  Heidi Ullrich:cutting off the photo is visually disturbing

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:I agree the title banner at the top

  Laura Bengford:Okay thanks for the feedback.  Top it is.

  Heidi Ullrich:I agree with Dev.

  Heidi Ullrich:What about Capacity Buiilding and Inreach?

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:This is the main page?

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:If so, then there needs a introductory section

  Heidi Ullrich:@Dev, regional activities could be the ALS activities in the regions

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Well isn't that upcoming events

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:?

  Heidi Ullrich:Upcoming events and Outreach?

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:agree with the text looking small

  Laura Bengford:Ariel, do you want to share the definitions for capacity building?

  Alan Greenberg:The description of the meeting says 90 minutes, but it was put into my calendar as being just 60 monutes.

  Alan Greenberg:minutes

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:probably a one/two liner under each heading

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:or short paragraph to introduce the section

  Heidi Ullrich:Training ?

  Heidi Ullrich:Want to Learn More?

  Alan Greenberg:I feel like I should be part of the movie Grumpy Old Men.

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Free Resources to Learn More

  Laura Bengford:No worries Alan ;)

  Laura Bengford:Learn More is better agreed Dev

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:I'm happy with the footer

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Content of footer - text still looks too small

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:sry content of footer is good

  Heidi Ullrich:Could we add a link for "welcome Aboard" or "onboarding' for ALSes

  Heidi Ullrich:also, a link to the Leadership Training program and ICANN academy?

  Laura Bengford:Yes, that is good idea Heidi

  Laura Bengford:Yes, we can use logos for social media. with ability to share within a page.

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:that would be ok, once the images are accessible (ALT text)

  Laura Bengford:we have gotten feedback to move social media to top, that is more general practice

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:having the social media buttons to top would be ok too

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:also the top lanaguage bar can be truncated so that it starts mid page

  Heidi Ullrich:Or adding it to the left of the We are the At-Large Community

  Heidi Ullrich:good idea, Dev

  Heidi Ullrich:Actually, the At-Large logo has the text as part of it

  Heidi Ullrich:I would like to see if we can keep the logo with the text at the bottom and move the top blue strip to the right

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:I think that could work

  Heidi Ullrich:I will need to step away now

  Laura Bengford:Thanks Heidi

  Heidi Ullrich:where did you get that text, Ariel?

  Heidi Ullrich:that Alan mentioned

  Alan Greenberg:Can I step away too?

  Heidi Ullrich:We are looking for your feedback both on look and content of these types of pages

  Heidi Ullrich:I'd like to see the At-Large WHOIS WG a bit more prominent

  Laura Bengford:This topic page and content will provide background and context to the policy advice statements on the page mock Ariel shared.  Background, Why is it Important, Latest News...

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:I really like the rest of the text that's on the screen

  Laura Bengford:That's right Alan, we will need help with this starter content.

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:yes, like the ICANN.org

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Indeed re: accessibility

  Laura Bengford:We are looking at accessibility assessment for all websites, guidelines, best practices

  Laura Bengford:W3C (WCAG) level AA is what we are shooting for

  Alan Greenberg:I really have to leave now. Thanks for all the hard work (even if my comments don't always show my gratitude).

  Laura Bengford:Thank you very much Alan.  Your feedback is great :)

  Heidi Ullrich:Thanks, All

  Heidi Ullrich:These videos will be placed on the pages of keyp policy

  Heidi Ullrich:that was a suggestion of The comms team to grab people with visual learning

  Heidi Ullrich:I need to drop off as well now

  Heidi Ullrich:Thanks all for your work on this!

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Visually, a vertical timeline to show the history of WHOIS

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:like http://codyhouse.co/demo/vertical-timeline/

  Laura Bengford:that's cool Dev

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:and the structure is very simple

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:the article describing how its done: http://codyhouse.co/gem/vertical-timeline/

  Laura Bengford:Thanks Dev. I'll have a look.

  Laura Bengford:Happy Holidays and thanks everyone !

Gisella Gruber:Welcome to the Website Revamp Project on Thursday 25 of September at 18:30 UTC
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Hello Gisella, Kathy, hearing me?
  Kathy Schnitt:Dev I am not hearing you
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Hmm, ok....
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Good, except for lack of mic. Hearing you good
  Silvia Vivanco:Hello all
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Hello everyone
  Ariel Liang:This is the document
  Ariel Liang:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ar_8JZbecKoFA1Hoq1J0gDpJ5mdaImAVa_6wxuVfgLc/edit#
  Ariel Liang:Sorry pls try this link:
  Ariel Liang:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ar_8JZbecKoFA1Hoq1J0gDpJ5mdaImAVa_6wxuVfgLc/edit?usp=sharing
  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):yes
  Silvia Vivanco:I will write some questions as you speak
  Silvia Vivanco:not to interrupt so you can respond
  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):I agree with Heidi
  Silvia Vivanco:- Can community members send articles and have we envisioned an interactive section?
  Ariel Liang:Please keep in mind that this is a working progress, so the structure you see right now is not final
  Silvia Vivanco:or if a community member would like to put his own blog could we link it?
  Silvia Vivanco:to this site?
  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:I agree with Heidi -- the events are actually the calendar of At-Large meetings and conference calls, isn't it? that's like 3 or 4 calls per day. That would be overwhelming if it was in a news feed. Real "news" would be lost amongst the fully of activity
  Heidi Ullrich:If we spell out At-Large Strcutures, we need to spell out RALOs...
  Heidi Ullrich:should Workign Groups be immed after ALAC?
  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:How much of this site is Static; how much is dynamic?
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:I would say the Explore section is mostly static - the Discover section is more dynamic
  Heidi Ullrich:to me Explore and Discover are very similar. What about "Become Involved" or "How to get involved?"...
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:The wording of Explore and Discover may need to change. Agree with Heidi
  Silvia Vivanco:@ Heidi correct, I think Explore and Discover can be confusing
  Silvia Vivanco:agree with How to get involved
  Heidi Ullrich:Sorry to focus on the wording, but "make a difference" normally is where you can donate funds...
  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):I think ATLAS should be added under ALAC, as it presents and opportunity of the community's voice as a whole
  Heidi Ullrich:Agree with Anthony that there needs to be some area for the ATLAS and other big At-Large events
  Silvia Vivanco:Just call it Newcomers area instead of Make a Difference
  Silvia Vivanco:so that its consistent with ICANN 's terminology
  Silvia Vivanco:will this site be connected to ICANN's site? or linked to some of the tutorials and diagrams shown in that site
  Silvia Vivanco:We could connect with the  ICANNN main site which has lots of diagrams and infographics
  Silvia Vivanco:good point Ariel
  Silvia Vivanco:we can link it to the WIKIs
  Silvia Vivanco:the WIKis are interactive
  Silvia Vivanco:yes! excellent
  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):draw on fund development techniques: think, feel and do to engage the audience
  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):thanks Steve
  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):+1 Heidi
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:I'm thinking "WHO We Are" or equivalent should replace "Explore"
  Silvia Vivanco:Some RALOs (APRALO) for example will engage with other ICANN groups for example APRALO-APAC HUB strategy
  Silvia Vivanco:I would like to show that strategy
  Silvia Vivanco:Agree with  the map and compliance has a wonderful map
  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):that's were sponsorship requests will come in handy
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:classifying the work under the taxonomy as discussed before
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:?
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:To me Organizational Structure isn't "WHAT We Do"
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:also, the org structure is presented top down and not bottom up
  Silvia Vivanco:your approach Olivier means someone needs to constantly update the RALO section
  Silvia Vivanco:@ Dev what do you mean? how to make it bottom up?
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:start with At-Large, first is ALSes
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:then RALOS
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:then ALAC
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:not from the "top" - ALAC, RALO, ALSes
  Silvia Vivanco:ok so inverse the hierarchy
  Silvia Vivanco:ok got it
  Silvia Vivanco:very good approach Ariel
  Silvia Vivanco:I like this approach you are describing
  Silvia Vivanco:@ Ariel and Steve I will be happy to look at the contents of the RALO pages
  Silvia Vivanco:when you are ready
  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):@Olivier that not always accessible
  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):any pop outs cause confusion with screen readers
  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):I like the idea
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:yep +1
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:unfortunately, not all RALOs allow individuals to be recognised
  Silvia Vivanco:not yet Dev
  Silvia Vivanco:but the trend is that they will allow
  Silvia Vivanco:individuals
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:I can think of one RALO that will resist
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Get Involved!
  Silvia Vivanco:Structure is good
  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):the structure is a good step forward
  Ariel Liang:yes structure first
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Under WHO We Are - probably need to use a short explaination about ICANN and then point to the main ICANN website
  Gisella Gruber:Please note that Olivier is travelling next week, Wednesday onwards and I am not sure about his availablity and connectivity
  Gisella Gruber:And we have a heavy call schedule so if you need a call, please let me know ASAP
  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Monday is exceptionally busy ;-)
  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):Thank you all for being flexible and so accommodating – great meeting and excellent progress.  Ekosi! Kinanaskomitinawa Anthony.
  Silvia Vivanco:very good call
  Ariel Liang:Thank you very much everyone! I will read through the comment in the chat as well.

- Short descirption about policy advice development

• Ariel Liang to identify content from the beginner's guide to fill the major topical sections as placeholder in the current IA

- Explore more about the interactive map (use compliance map as example)

- Refine the wording for each section

- Explore the potential of different navigation for different audience (i.e. let audience to choose what content / page / layout they would like to view)

• Gisella Gruber Schedule a Friday call next week

• Olivier Crepin-Leblond, Dev Anand Teelucksingh, Anthony Niiganii to do the following: 

  Could you distill the historical or current issues/topics being worked on at At-Large into a Top 5 Categories (ex: WHOIS, Privacy, IDNs, ICANN Strategic Planning, IANA Transition)? Some issues/topics may be directly associated to a large ICANN issue area such as Strategic Plan, wheres others are independent (and could be connected to many ICANN topics) such as Privacy. It’s fine if you can identify more than 5 top categories.  

Kathy Schnitt: Dear all, Welcome to the Website Revamp Project on Friday 12th of September at 16:00 UTC

  Kathy Schnitt:Welcome Ariel and Dev

  Ariel Liang:Just FYI - everybody is here. Anthony sent his apologies

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:looks like my mic isn't working

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:on the call

  Ariel Liang:http://atlarge.icann.org/correspondence

  Heidi Ullrich:If a new format is being considered, perhaps the Board Resolution page might serve as a model: https://features.icann.org/resolutions

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:http://www.jquery-bootgrid.com/Examples#data

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:translations of these statements are not up to date. 2013 only yields 3 translated documents

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:this is a huge amount of translations missing. I do not know whether they were undertaken and missing from the list, or whether the translations were not done

  Heidi Ullrich:Here is the note to the G8 : http://atlarge.icann.org/correspondence/correspondence-20may11-en.htm

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:Here is the note to NTIA:

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:http://atlarge.icann.org/de/node/25511

  Heidi Ullrich:http://atlarge.icann.org/correspondence/correspondence-14dec11-en.htm

  Heidi Ullrich:that is the note to the NTIA

  Heidi Ullrich:+1 Steve

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:Heidi your pointer are to the US Congressman

  Heidi Ullrich:we need greater searchability

  Heidi Ullrich:ah, sorry

  Heidi Ullrich:that was the letter I was referring to

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:also -- note that some of these summaries are wrongly formed, and the actual statement is missuing!

  Heidi Ullrich::(

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:I used Google to find the letters

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:wow -- the one to NTIA NOI is actually even missing. There is the Staff intro & no link to the Statement itself, apart from a link to the workspace where we built it....

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:http://www.jquery-bootgrid.com/Examples#data is an example of interactive search

  Heidi Ullrich:I agree that broad topics are needed

  Heidi Ullrich:Dev, Matt and you developed a page where the impact on end users was spelled out

  Heidi Ullrich:@Ariel, that might be a good solution for a start

  Heidi Ullrich:@Ariel, please look at the Beginner's Guide to ALAC Policy

  Heidi Ullrich:It has this kind of summary text on the main topics, I believe

  Heidi Ullrich:Chart: https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/5112175/ALAC_Policy_Advice_Chart.jpg?version=1&modificationDate=1373387404000&api=v2

  Steve Allison:Thank you

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Phone connection lost, but listening via AC audio

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Good idea

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:This was great

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Thanks everyone - take care

  Ariel Liang:Thank you all!

Terri Agnew:Dear all, Welcome to the Website Revamp Project on Thursday 11th of September at 16:00 UTC

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:OUCH -- that hurts!

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:Bounce Rate 50/70%  ???

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Ouch indeed

  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):It sometimes take me awhile to find what I need and just end up jumping to Google to search

  Heidi Ullrich:Will the Seasoned community members use the wiki as their primary source?

  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):lol why me? lol

  Ariel Liang:people like you are a primary audience

  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):thanks...yea I can agree with that

  Heidi Ullrich::)

  Ariel Liang:@Heidi - yes, so that's why they are secondary audience

  Ariel Liang:primary ones don't really know about the wiki or know how to use the wiki

  Heidi Ullrich:Thanks, Ariel

  Ariel Liang:so the website is a main platform for us to communicate with them

  Ariel Liang:no problem

  Heidi Ullrich:How are they making an impact - we could have a spotlight for that

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Well, primary ones can find the wiki if they use Google search

  Heidi Ullrich:they should be using the Dashboard...

  Ariel Liang:but it is not an effective landing page for the community

  Ariel Liang:newcomers will get confused how to use it

  Heidi Ullrich:@Ariel, I agree the dashboard is confusing for newcomers

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:agreed, a redesign is needed for wiki, the wiki needs to have a menu/section for newcomers that discover the wiki page where they can go to next

  Heidi Ullrich:What is a wireframe

  Ariel Liang:wireframe is similar to the structure of a website

  Ariel Liang:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website_wireframe

  Heidi Ullrich:Thanks!

  Heidi Ullrich:When would new content be developed? Many of the pages are out of date...

  Steve Allison:we can do some of this in tandem. My hope is that during the design work, we can concept on what topics should be written at least to support the designs/wireframes so that we can present a polished product, and then over the long term we can discuss a strategy to consistently develop new content

  Laura Bengford:We can also may leverage some of the Getting Started / newcomer guides from icann.org

  Steve Allison:Thanks Laura. I think we're thinking the same. Some of that content is the most comprehensive for newcomers

  Heidi Ullrich:Good idea, Laura

  Heidi Ullrich:There is likely up to date info on the wiki as well

  Laura Bengford:Maybe leverage events or the calender filtered for ALAC.

  Heidi Ullrich:Thanks very much Ariel and Steve!

  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):thanks Ariel and Steve

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:indeed, much food for thought

  Heidi Ullrich:The Board Resolution page might be a model to follow for ALAC Policy Advice: https://features.icann.org/resolutions

  Laura Bengford:Depending on the artwork required could be by UX designer or graphic designer.  Usually they are one offs as needed.

  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):great question Olivier about the look and feel

  Laura Bengford:Also photos can be used.

  Heidi Ullrich:Photos will personalize it

  Heidi Ullrich:we also have some great graphics already developed we could use

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:I think there are other synergies and similiarlies with other ACs (SSAC, GAC, RSSAC)

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:ACs generate correspondence for eg

  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):just taken it in

  Laura Bengford:+1 on the synergies

  Ariel Liang:agree with Steve - need to identify what are the most important content for updates

  Ariel Liang:and then figure out the ways for update

  Steve Allison:Laura can you talk about accessibility and translation

  Laura Bengford:We can work on Accessibility in tandem with Accessibility WG and tools developed. Also translation

  Ariel Liang:http://atlarge.icann.org/correspondence

  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):I agree with Laura, and this is something that should be brought up with the Accessibility WG as there is discussion about developing checklist for virtual participation, in whatever form that may take

  Heidi Ullrich:+1 Laura and Anthony

  Heidi Ullrich:I agree that the Accessbility WG - with the TTF - could advise on this point

  Heidi Ullrich:Ariel and All - please take a look at the board resolution page: https://features.icann.org/resolutions

  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):unfortunately I am not available to participate tomorrow., and will catch up with the recording.

  Ariel Liang:@Heidi that's a good example!

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:re: board resolution page, the categories is the idea, however correspondence can have multiple "tags" - gTLDs, IDN

  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):I can see that many people who come to the site first do not see a "welcome greeting" that is important to foster community engagement

  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):that could be why some many jump

  Heidi Ullrich:Good point, Anthony

  Heidi Ullrich:Great job, Ariel and Steve!!! Also, thanks to the community web team!! We selected the right people!

  Laura Bengford:Great meeting, thank you everyone!

  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):I will prepare some thoughts tonight that can be shared with everyone.

  Heidi Ullrich:Thanks, Ariel

  Heidi Ullrich:Anthony, I meant!

  Heidi Ullrich:I write "Thanks, Ariel" so often ;)

  Anthony Niiganii (MBE)::) it's ok...Ariel is a team member anywhere

  Ariel Liang:hahaha

  Ariel Liang:thanks Heidi

  Anthony Niiganii (MBE):Ekosani Everyone! Kinanaskomitinawa!

  Ariel Liang:Thank you bye bye

  Heidi Ullrich:bye!

  Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Take care all
