Thanks Gleen for the consistency on this appeal,
I expect RALO leaders, especially in Africa to take ownership of this,
considering that most people,in the region may not be too ready to assert
their situation, by making a case for members.
I would also request @Maureen Hilyard <maureen.hilyard at gmail.com> even
though she may have sent in the feedback to @León Felipe Sánchez Ambía
<leonfelipe at sanchez.mx> to specifically request RALO to provide situation
reports aside individual contributions to this trend.

>> Thanks Maureen,
>> This is very thoughtful both of ICANN, ALAC and Leon.

>>
>> 2. An alternative is to have an aggregated sum approved for e.g. 4 months

>> 2. Can we start using those blocks of time ASAP

>> 4. If all of the above is not possible: can we spread the Kuala Lumpur
>> meeting into 2-3 power weekend meetings online?
>>

>> Dear Glenn and Maureen
>>
>>
>>
>> These thoughts are really relevant when we can see in developing region

>>
>> Here, as developing country, the government is performing a quite
>> complex operation, providing a 120 – 240 ( widows with children)
>> correspondent USD to 56 millions ( ¼ of our population) of persons and
>> had open up a 26 million of a special bank account to those not having one

>> longer depend upon the winter ( even mild one here) season. The amount
>> represents what we call basic basket with food and cleaner and hygienic
>> items for one month of a family of 4. The basic mobile are reduced and
>> energy are sponsored for those families.
>>
>> Helping people to attend our meetings on line in places where they need
>> to spend too much special nowadays paying internet or even 3G for a
>> volunteer activity, does not see will break ICANN’s finances and
>> certainly will help a lot to keep these relevant community with us.
>>
>> Thanks for these relevant proposal that I do believe really help the
>> engagement of our community.
>>
>> We can also help to state who, in our regions, is really in need of
>> help. Some even to feed their families.

>>
>>
>> Facts
>>
>> -
>>
>> All ICANN Face to Face meetings on hold to Sept 2020
>>
>>
>> Reality
>>
>> -
>>
>> The Pandemic will likely be worse in the fall according to the CDC
>> comments and likely it will be into 2021. (1) and resulting in no
>> Face to Face meetings during that year
>>
>>
>> Item One: Remote Participation
>>
>> ICANN has always embraced remote participation. It is what makes our work
>> accessible to a global community and enables us to get the work done
>> between meetings. COVID-19 has made remote engagement even more crucial,
>> and a very real and practical alternative
>>
>> Comment
>>
>> This is a practical solution to keep the community engaged but the devil
>> is in the details. We have a serious digital divide which impacts the
>> ATLARGE community. Since ICANN has Multistakeholderism baked into its DNA
>> it is critical to provide communities with the tools to properly engage.
>> In Canada, especially in the far- north, in the US tribal lands, as well
>> as in rural areas(2), among students(3) and in poor urban communities(4)
>> there is a serious digital divide that makes it next to impossible to
>> participate fully in the meetings. In fact, if there are few participants
>> in such areas, it is not because they don’t want to participate. They
>> simply cannot participate unless their internet accessibility issues are
>> addressed. Although ICANN cannot be responsible for all digital divide
>> issues, it must recognize that these exist and perhaps look for alternative
>> ways to deal with these -- create support groups, reach out locally with
>> low tech methods, build partnerships with national, regional, and local
>> organizations, etc..
>>
>>
>> Item Two; Leverage Participation Tools
>>
>> It is more important than ever that we leverage our remote participation
>> tools to continue effectively engaging and supporting our community in the
>> work that needs to be done; at the very least, over the next four months.
>>
>> Comments
>>
>> It is not just a matter of online tools ie. Zoom, Adobe, Bluejean etc or
>> accessibility issues, but about the bandwidth required by any or all of
>> them. Moreover, many within At Large have uneven connectivity speeds and
>> others are burdened with very high Internet costs and extremely slow
>> speeds. This combined with the loss of income by many of the participants
>> due to COVID-19 making it harder for them to pay for the extra data needed
>> to participate in the At Large or other ICANN related calls.
>>
>> Item Three Online Courses/ Webinars
>>
>> We are working with the community to ensure that high-priority topics for
>> this period are being addressed and are creating new opportunities and
>> training for our stakeholders within At Large to participate. As such, we
>> are looking at facilitating these efforts and adding a variety of
>> additional activities to build capacity, to attract new participants, and
>> to educate, and engage these new participants. These activities will
>> include informative webinars, ICANN Learn modules, lectures, and ICANN
>> Public Meeting readouts.
>>
>> However, this strategy of engagement is only possible where high-speed
>> Internet access is available and the end-user has the funds to pay for the
>> extra service. We would be interested in learning about any surveys that
>> ICANN LEARN staff have done on connectivity challenges of end-users. A
>> recent informal ATLARGE survey, although having only twenty responses,
>> shows that participants in developing countries have limited bandwidth
>> especially in many parts of Africa and small island states combined with
>> high Internet costs.
>>
>> General View
>>
>> In the short run, the participation in the first virtual meeting (Cancun)
>> while having very high participation, should be looked at as a novelty,
>> this will not be the new norm. We do expect that participation in future
>> meetings will drop until the economy gets back on track. Participants do
>> not have the available income to spend on the access needed to actively
>> participate in online meetings. We are at a serious risk of losing valuable
>> volunteers. At Large participants are volunteers and unlike other
>> constituencies, they do this outside their paid jobs and often take a
>> vacation to attend ICANN Meetings.
>>
>> Our community unlike the other the government or business community do
>> not have the luxury of sponsorship to carry on their volunteerism. Our
>> community has had to dig into their own pockets to pay to participate. If
>> the economy does not pick up we can see a substantial loss of participants
>> from locations we cannot afford to lose. We propose that ICANN recognize
>> the value of these participants and create a special connectivity fund. The
>> process and procedure could be worked out in a simple application and
>> approval process.
>>
>>
>>
>> Recommendations
>>
>> -
>>
>> Provide the stipend to all elected ATLARGE community members
>> -
>>
>> Provide an opportunity to ALS members to receive an Internet
>> Connectivity voucher to offset their high Internet costs so they can
>> participate.
>> -
>>
>> ICANN LEARN should conduct a true connectivity survey of all users.
>> -
>>
>> Improve upon the end-user survey at the end of all ICANN Public
>> webinars to get feedback on participation and connectivity experiences ie.
>> latency, quality etc
