Review of the Action Items EN

S Salinas Porto asked staff about the current status of the ALS
questionnaire.

The Staff noted that a list was sent to the participants of the last LACRALO
meeting with all ALSes, which have not sent their summit questionnaire
responses until October 16th. It was requested that an update of this list
be produced.

Review of current status of ALS applications

The staff noted that three new ALS applications from the LAC region were
received: Internauta Venezuela, Asociación Judicial Bonarense (Argentina)
and AUI Peru.

Interpretation and translation

It was noted that the quality of the automated list translation was not
satisfying. The Staff added that there would increasingly be more Spanish
documents available on the At-Large website.

J Ovidio Salgueiro said that the regional ALAC members made a considerable
effort during  the Cairo meeting to highlight the importance of  having more
translated documents. Jose further noted that C Aguirre drafted a report on
regional ALS participation that would soon be published.

Summit Update

S Salinas Porto asked the Staff about the Budget situation for the Summit.
The Staff responded that the Budget was not yet finalized and noted that the
Summit Working Group would meet later this week to finalise the logistics
plan. Once it is final, the logistics plan will allow the staff to narrow
down the actual numbers that will can be presented to the ICANN Board of
Directors.

Next Meeting

The next LACRALO Teleconference will be on December 4th at 1300 UTC. The
Staff will help to draft an agenda for this meeting and send an invitation
to all the LACRALO ALS representatives.

The meeting was then concluded.
