[lac-discuss-en] GENERAL ASSEMBLY LACRALO 2012 - SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA

[Jacqueline Morris]

I think it's committed, but it depends on what is considered
commitment... there's been a lot of $$ input into ways for online
activity, for translations of documents (more needed, but a BIG
improvement from 5 years ago), the Fellowship programme and access to
ICANN processes for a lot of people from the developing world. The GA
is important to LACRALO, but it isn't contracted, nor is it a request
from other RALOs as far as I know.

You know there is a negative perception with regard to travel support
from many people outside ALAC - the idea of participating in ICANN,
via working groups, mailing lists etc vs "getting a paid holiday". And
with the Accountability and Transparency issues, it's important for
ICANN to look at perception. (The Dakar hotel PR fiasco didn't do much
to make  the At Large look accountable and responsible)

Also, a GA at an ICANN meeting will have LACRALO ALSes in their own
meeting, separate and distinct from the ICANN meeting, at least for
the 2-3 days of the GA. So why does the GA have to coincide with the
regional ICANN meeting? The LACIGF always has representatives of the
ALSes, we could piggyback the GA onto that next year, or in 2013 and
spend time and energy getting funding and organising it as a major
regional end-user event!

It's as important for us to show commitment to ICANN and to IG policy
development in the region as it is for us to see that ICANN is
committed to us.
