Dear Staff,<br>
<br>
We have completed our survey of the current NARALO ALSes as regards
their support of ISOC Washington DC as a new NARALO ALS. I am happy
to report that over 60% of current ALSes have indicated that they
support the entry of ISOC DC as a new ALS. It is with this great
support that we are recommending to ALAC that they also support the
entry into NARALO of this new ALS.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your patience<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Judith Hellerstein<br>
NARALO Secretary<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks everyone for their positive endorsement of the new
ALS. I need to stress that Judith intentions of the due
diligence was taken seriously ( given the name), but as some
of you indicated that the level of 'deep dive' was out of
scope. I think this her first ALS application so we need
to give her a break and we apologize for any misconceptions.
In anticipation of new ALS's in 2016 ( name and location not
yet determined) we aim to work closely with staff on the
process and communication. </div>

And I would like to share one more consideration : since
the inception of NARALO, I noticed that motivation,
engagement and participation of the ALs has evolved. It's
normal to see newcomers and to loose some participants.
What one expects is oppeness and inclusiveness, not deep
diving procedures or a timetable for a the new ALs to
justify their engagement. <br>
<br>
My 2 cents,<span class=""><br>

abilities of current leadership. Anything
beyond that is unacceptable level of
prying. Remember, one of the main points
behind getting ALSs involved (as opposed
to, say, members of NCUC) is that we are
encouraging orgs that don't necessarily
have Internet governance as a primary
focus. So we should be applauding their
very interest, regardless of whether or
not they will be actively involved.</div>

<div class="gmail_default">The issue of
keeping a current contact list is a
challenge for any organization, frankly I
think that's the role of staff rather than
volunteers. It can be easily automated, and
the scale of doing it globally for all
regions makes the available tools quite cost
effective. ICANN depends so much on
volunteers that I'm stunned it doesn't have
an organization-wide set of tools for this.</div>

<div class="gmail_default">Please stop such
"deep dives". This practice will not help,

good of outreach being done.</div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
<div class="gmail_default">The ability to
participate in ICANN is not such a prize
that we have the luxury to be so demanding
of newcomers. For ALSs, the demands are
many and the rewards few -- we need them
more than they need us. I remind that any
group in the world can submit public
comment directly to ICANN, they don't need
us as a conduit. There needs to be a
special reason why to participate through
At-Large, and communicating this reason is
the role of outreach. You don't want to
undo that through needlessly invasive
entry procedures.</div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
<div class="gmail_default">The amount of
time that At-Large expends examining
itself -- compared to the amount of time
spent actually affecting ICANN -- has
always been a source of astonishment to
me. As it continues to be.</div>
