<p dir="ltr">My +1 to this. On a separate note, I think Fadi did indicate that certain amount would be made available in case of emergencies (think it was 10k as well). Perhaps the scope can be expanded to cover the one indicated here and the figure jerked up to fit.</p>

Dear ALAC members,<br>
<br>
The ATLAS II Implementation Task Force is actively following up on
the ATLAS II Recommendations contained in the At-Large Declaration
drafted during the second At-Large Summit that took place in London
in June 2014.<br>
<br>
I would like to draw your attention to Recommendation 40:<br>
Ref. <a class="m_-3997643475198384734m_-5265473073532365545moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://community.icann.org/x/dJZCAw" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/x/<wbr>dJZCAw</a><br>
<font color="#ff0000">ICANN should offer a process similar to the
Community Regional Outreach Pilot Program (CROPP), but applicable
to short lead-time budget requests not related to travel.</font><br>
<br>
The ATLAS II IT, and Outreach & Engagement working group and the
ALAC Finance and Budget Sub-Committee expanded the recommendation
and made requests. The current status is a follows:<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>

teams of ICANN’s Global Stakeholder Engagement (GSE) Department
-- to organize local outreach and engagement activities about
ICANN policy issues. Those activities include presentations and
brown bag lunches held by professional speakers at a minimum
cost. Each RALO can receive up to $2,000USD from the GSE and use
it to cover travel, meals, promotions, and other expenses
related to the events. For complete transparency and proper
oversight, the regional GSE teams review RALOs’ budget requests
through a defined process.</font><br>
</span>
<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">My suggestion is that the ALAC
brings this topic up to the F2F meeting with the GSE Team in
Hyderabad. <br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Any objections?<br>
