Hi Everyone

The agenda for next week's call has not been finalised - so what I want is your input as to what should be on the agenda so it can be.

My suggestions are:
- finances:  While input into the budget on expenditure up to the end of October is well and  truly closed, there is a brief window to consider what we might ask for for expenditure after November 2013.  (Both the regional and global IGFs will have been held.  Is there something else we could do - possibly including something at the June London meeting just for APRALO?

- Applications for fellowships for Durban - should we be encouraging people to apply - whom and how?

- Having looked at other RALOs, there are subcommittees on Outreach and Capacity Building.  Should we do the same - and are there any hands up?

 - Elections.  I note that people are already providing information on themselves and why they could represent us on ALAC.  I am happy to see the input - even if the nominating period doesn't start until next week.  So for those who are confused about timelines, so am I.  But the interest of all of you is a very good thing - and I encourage everyone (having decided that there has been a de facto expansion of the timeline) to consider - for themselves or someone else - our next ALAC rep.

- Policy. Please check out the policy page on the ICANN site (ICANN - groups - ALAC - policy) and let me know if there are particular issues that should be discussed in a bit more detail.   I hope Oliver will be able to give a brief overview of policy issues before us.  Please let me know if there are particular issues we should spend a bit more time on (I know Hong and Rinalia have plenty to say on IDN variants and some of the implications of the Trade Mark Clearing House issues arising from the new gTLDs (but also, as Hong has pointed out, ccTLDs as well)

Look forward to hearing from you all.

Holly
