[NA-Discuss] Planning / Next steps for NA RALO

[Robert Guerra]

For those who couldn't make it to San Juan, I thought you should know  
that a brainstorming/planning session was held on  June 27th on   
possible NARALO activities in the coming 12 months. Details of the  
session can be found below @ at the following URL:

https://st.icann.org/naralo/index.cgi?planning_next_steps_for_na_ralo


it would be good to prioritize the list, and start moving forward.   
Thus, please comment on the wiki or via email ..


regards

Robert

All the NARALO community is welcome to add suggestions to the list.

We will first compile them and then prioritize them.
North American outreach activities

     * Organize a thematic workshop during upcoming ICANN LA meeting
     * Organize or suggest orientation activities during the LA meeting
     * Develop initiative for recruitment of new potential ALSs
     * Produce resources to assist ALSs in educating their  
constituencies (and the public) about ICANN and its issues
     * Produce strategic plan regarding strategic ALS recruitment
     * Create a working group, and organize a workshop at the LA  
meeting, related to individual participation within At-Large
     * Target 50% growth in 2008
     * Plan outreach activities in advance of LA meeting
     * Encourage new ALS outreach through peer groups of existing ALSs
     * Start the process for an At-Large Global Summit to involve  
ALSs and RALOs
     * Organize outreach meeting in the US similar to the one Jacob  
held in Toronto
           o Compile list of potential events where such meetings

Structural activities

     * Select chair and secretariat
     * Launch initiative for At-Large to have voting representation  
on ICANN board
     * Launch initiative to review selection and appointment of ALAC  
members

Policy activities

     * Rights of Registrants
           o What Registrants' rights do we advocate
     * New gTLDs
     * IDNs
     * IPv6
     * DNSsec
     * Promote inclusion of youth into Fellowship program

We should connect with research institutions to generate more  
research and discourse on topics of importance to At Large.  
(Understood that studies can be requested directly from ICANN - but  
this would integrate with an outreach strategy.)
Global Policy Working Groups

     * Telecom
     * Identify other policy fields which impact ICANN policy
     * Social Responsibility
     * Youth Engagement
     *
