Subject: NARALO GA: Agenda and Organizational Details

 

Dear Darlene and Evan,

 

With just under one month to go before the start of the Summit, we would
like to work with you to ensure the smooth operation of your GA.  As a
reminder,  GA meetings will take place on Tuesday, 3 March between 9
a.m.  and 1 p.m.   

 

The purpose of this message is to: 

 

-          Request you to send us your GA agenda  (Deadline: 31 January)

-          Ask whether you would like any Staff Briefings during your GA


-          Highlight relevant text from your RALO's Operating Principles
and MOU 

-          Establish your document needs for your GA (Additional
Document Deadline: 13 February)

 

AGENDA

 

Could you please send us your draft GA agenda by 31 January? Given that
the Summit will provide considerable discussion on policy issues, we
request that the GA agenda focus on organizational issues. However, the
agenda is of course ultimately to be decided by you in conjunction with
your ALS representatives.   

 

Agenda items suggested during the NARALO meeting of January 12: 

-          Ideas - better information sharing strategies - issue mapping
(Dharma)

-          Operating procedures - flag those that have not worked well
in the past (Darlene)

 

STAFF BRIEFINGS

ALAC has requested that RALO chairs/secretariats consider holding a
short briefing by ICANN Services Staff to discuss registrar/registry RAA
non-compliance during their GA. Can this item be added to your GA
agenda? We will arrange for appropriate ICANN Staff to attend your GA
for this purpose.  

 

At-Large staff are very interested to have the opportunity to speak with
your ALS participants about how we can help them with engaging with
At-Large activities to a greater degree. For example, what are their
specific policy interests? What can be done to facilitate NARALO's
engagement?  What tools would you like to see developed?  Would you like
to include such a discussion during your GA or during an informal
session?  

 

Are there any regionally specific policy issues that may be of interest
to your ALS participants?  

 

 

RELEVENT TEXT FROM YOUR OPERATING PRINCIPLES/MOU

 

For your convenience, NARALO's MOU and Rules of Procedure may be viewed
here: https://st.icann.org/naralo/index.cgi?ralo_organizing_documents

 

 

DOCUMENTS NEEDS

 

At-Large staff will prepare documents for your ALS representatives
including the NARALO MOU and Rules of Procedure.   

 

We will need to be informed of any other documents you will require by
13 February.   

 

 

Please let us know if you have any questions on organizing your GA.  We
very much look forward to assisting you to ensure a very successful
NARALO GA.
