[NA-Discuss] Prague - Regional Secretariats meeting Agenda- Kindly review

I have a couple of questions/observations -- my apologies for not attending
the conference call and making them there.
1. What is the status of the NARALO budget request for the Toronto meeting?
As chairman of the region, I would like to be made aware of this (apologies
if I have missed the note) before I agree to discuss the possibility of
spending $90K on an IGF meeting in Azerbaijan. As of today, I am told NARALO
has been directed to approach CIRA for a $1,000 handout to hold a small
outreach event in Toronto. That leads me to believe that the NARALO budget
request for Toronto has been denied. Is this the case?
In my opinion, the at-large community should be funding outreach at its own
events, or planning another at-large summit, rather than spending a sizable
amount of money attending a meeting among a group that have been,
traditionally, somewhat hostile to the at-large. Could the interested
participants be compelled to write papers to be presented at the IGF on
major, serious policy issues affecting end-users, such as the URS problem,
WHOIS, questions raised by the execution of the new gTLD program or some
other such topic? Are there going to be performance metrics attached? What
kinds of outreach will be done in Azerbaijan? What audiences will we be
attempting to reach at IGF that are not already integrally woven into the
ICANN community? Is there any grant-funding available?
Indeed, I understand we are talking about two different budget cycles. But I
don't see how we can justify spending $90K for APRALO and AFRALO to attend
an IGF meeting with other more convenient opportunities for outreach going
unfunded.
2. Again, the non-performing ALS topic leads the agenda. Why? Can the
remaining issues on this topic be solved by an internal, small group? Why do
we have to spend valuable time in Prague discussing this topic again?
