Dear Alberto,
The draft outreach strategy text was updated with this concluding paragraph:
"If there are no particular outreach events in a country without ALSes and
no formal organisations that could be ALSes, but there are a sufficient
number of individuals present, then efforts would be made to organise a F2F
event to bring such individuals together to help create a organisation that
could be an ALS. Annual funding for such events would be sought from ICANN
by LACRALO. Ideas for the planning of such events can be found on the
LACRALO wiki at https://community.icann.org/x/Aa7hAg "
This strategy still emphasies working before applying for F2F event funding
by researching suitable contacts, maintaining a events calendar, having
conference calls with suitable contacts as per the first draft of text.
You can read the latest version at http://bit.ly/1XR1pa9
You are mistaken that the draft LACRALO Strategy text was approved on the
call, it was only presented for initial comments. There are several members
from LACRALO on the Outreach and Engagement SC (
https://community.icann.org/x/cqfbAQ) and the text was shared and commented
on by the LACRALO members in the Outreach and Engagement SC before it was
presented on the Outreach and Engagement SC call of September 9 2015. Given
there is a September 30 2015 deadline to meet for the strategy to be filed
with ICANN, the Outreach and Engagement SC is looking at Monday September
14 2015 for having these strategies approved by At-Large before sending to
regional Global Stakeholder Engagement.
Your input (and anyone else in LACRALO) is welcomed and the Outreach and
Engagement SC will try to incorporate any suggestions.
One note about the idea of having funding for F2F events. The current
mechanism of obtaining funding for At-Large Budget requests typically
requires At-Large Budget requests to be filed early in the calendar
year.Also such Budget Requests are for use for the next fiscal year
(typically mid year to next year). ICANN Finance will then approve or
disapprove the budget requests around mid year.
So its a challenge to seek funding for F2F events based on research into
suitable persons that can be in At-Large and then have a long gap for
several months or even a year before the F2F meeting can be implemented.
It is also a challenge for At-large to fully anticipate needs up to 16
months in advance that would require budget support.
One of the At-Large Summit II recommendations, Recommendation 40 attempts
to address this challenge.
Recommendation 40 (
https://community.icann.org/display/als2/ATLAS+II+Recommendation+40) says
"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."
On the ATLAS II Implementation Taskforce call (
https://community.icann.org/x/vopYAw) yesterday (in which Alberto was also
present), I mentioned that if this Recommendation was implemented, it would
make applying for shorter term budget requests such as F2F events easier. I
also noted that during the ICANN53 meeting with the ICANN Board and the
ALAC, the ICANN CEO expressed support for the concept of having contingency
funds available to At-Large to deal with sudden, last minute budget
requests, which no one appeared to disagree. So I'm hopeful that
Recommendation 40 can be implemented and supported by ICANN.
I'll investigate further whether any funding is possible from the LAC
Strategy with the LAC Strategy Steering Committee meetings happening next
week.
Also, Alberto, you and anyone in LACRALO are welcome to join the Outreach
and Engagement SC by emailing staff at atlarge.icann.org
Kind Regards,
Dev Anand Teelucksingh
