<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello:<br>
<br>
In agreement with Avri and Javier below especially the ARIN/NARALO
combination worked perfectly and valuable here is a list:<br>
<br>
- The networking and F2F meeting opportunity with the ICANN CEO
and ARIN CEO <br>
- Meeting fellow colleagues to have open and honest discussions<br>
- Visibility of NARALO/ALSes at ARIN, with great participation
during the policy discussions/meeting<br>
- The program was very well organized to allow participation at
the ARIN meetings and GA meetings all 3 days.<br>
- I would have liked to see a strategic focus for NARALO (as a
whole) from the topics and discussions held as take aways<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">On the ARIN/NARALO combination: On one
side, the end-user’s perspective brought by NARALO members
to the ARIN meetings prompts ARIN to question and challenge
its own historic assumptions about its policies. The IPv6
environment where numbers are no longer a limited resource,
opens a new world for end-users as individual owners of IP
address blocks. ARIN & NARALO also obviously benefits
from the effects of symbiotic evangelization: NARALO
attendees learn ARIN better, and we then can explain the
role of ARIN and its services better to our peers and others
in the ecosystem. In terms of NARALO benefits, well ARIN
and its attendees learn about us as an organization and as
individuals. The networking opportunities opened up by this
type of NARALO/ARIN synergy are significant. Meeting the
ARIN people is great in itself: we had great insights from
John Curran (ARIN CEO), and great group & individual
conversations with ARIN executives, staff and other
stakeholders. ARIN attracts stakeholders and personalities
which NARALO might not normally attract by itself, such as
LACNIC (Oscar Robles), AFRINIC (Alan Barrett) and ICANN
President Göran Marby, among several others. NARALO
interacted with many of these and other stakeholders; I was
able to speak to all, and actually converse at length with
Göran and also with Oscar Robles. I was also able to learn
about ARIN funding opportunities which can help make a
proposed School of Internet Governance in San Juan (just
before ICANN61) possible. Another important takeaway for
NARALO and At-Large in general is the interesting “path to
multi-stakeholder engagement and decision-making” (phrase by
Evan). More can be written on this point, but in general I
perceived their listening & decision process as very
streamlined and inclusive. Like Avri “I’m still digesting”
ARIN’s take on multistakeholderism. I wonder how much of it
is a bit predetermined top-down, in order to get stuff done,
but I still feel and am of the opinion that it was an honest
attempt at injecting a bit order into a process that if left
to its own devices can sometimes degrades into cat-herding.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kudos to all: Ledership, staff &
participants for a worthwhile time in New Orleans. See you
(hopefully many of you) in JoBurg!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Not sure this is where it was to be sent.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What I valued most about the NAROLO GA was
the chance to see the group</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">functioning as a group. I am an only an
alternate member of NARALO for</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ISOC-NY and often am looking elsewhere in
ICANN, so perhaps have missed</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">the degree of cooperation on the list.
Seeing what sort of group we may</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">be becoming, over the 3 days, was a good
thing. Personally I think more</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">time could have been spent on a smaller
number of topics, but in general</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">thought the agenda worked out well and was
worth the time.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think the combination with an ARIN
meeting was brilliant. The</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At-Large can give advice on any issue
related to ICANN's mission in</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">names or numbers, so it is good to be in
understanding with our</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">counterpart in the numbers space, not quite
a sub-component of ASO, but</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">virtually, sort of. Personally, though a
long time subscriber to the</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">policy list, and previous remote attendee,
I was happy to finally </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">participate in one. I appreciate their
openness and they way their</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">process allowed for our participation.
There is a lot to be learned</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">from the way in which they implement the
multistakeholder process that i</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">am still digesting.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
