[ALAC] "Policy" t4ravel slots for Panama

Tue Mar 20 11:10:36 UTC 2018

Agree with holly and the rest - I would just add that when setting the metrics we should take into consideration the  Community Onboarding Pilot Program (COP) that ALAC is invited to nominate someone for, the COP aims to improve ICANN community newcomer engagement and retention rates, therefore we have another opportunity through the COP as well.

But, for a start, a history of involvement should be the test.  That can include involvement in WGs (ALAC and other SO/ACs), in being a pen holder, or contributing to comments on the ALAC policy page, involvement in groups such as the Technology Task force, Capacity building, etc.  And the involvement can be ICANN attendance as well as participation remotely.  I agree with Sean on the point that if someone has been actively involved, but not had a travel slot before, they should get preference - but the first test is ‘actively involved’.

Those include gNSO or ccNSO PDPs, CCWGs, ALAC support Working Groups and the At-Large Review (with a lesser emphasis on the latter). Other slots may be opened due to other travellers not being able to attend or not requiring full funding.

I an recommending doing that again, and also, to the extent possible, try to identify people who will best benefit from the extensive policy discussions we expect in Panama.
