At-Large Approved FY16 Special Request Implementation Workspace

At-Large FY16 Special Request for a Strategic Working Session for ALAC and RALO Leaders at ICANN Public Meetings 54 and 55 Workspace 

One day ALAC Development Session for the 15 members of the ALAC, both continuing and incoming members, at the end of the ICANN 54 Meeting on Friday, 16 October. 

This Development Session would have as a goal to foster co-operation within the ALAC as well as planning for ongoing and upcoming projects and activities within the ALAC.

This Session would serve as a team-building exercise to increase collaboration and to work more effectively as a virtual global team inter-sessionally.

The Session would also include a session on professional skills development. This latter activity would increase the ability of all ALAC members to develop critical skills needed to more effectively participate in meetings and work in a multi-cultural environment.

The GNSO piloted a similar activity in FY14 and FY15 with substantial success.  This request is approved on a pilot basis to see if the model can be effectively applied to the ALAC Leadership at the FY16 AGM. Pilot effort to follow GNSO model. Approval anticipates up to 20 travelers only and covers meeting room expenses as well as an additional hotel night stay for meeting participants (several will already be covered by other travel support mechanisms).

Briefing book for incoming ALAC Members to be prepared by At-Large staff in collaboration with the ALT.
