Dear Vanda and Alex, thank you very much, although I would have liked to be consulted beforehand. But the leadership of LACRALO has not yet given an opinion on this proposal.<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Given that the revised plan did not incorporate the planning technique and only absorbed some actions related to "discrediting" (I think it should discredit) ALSes, Laura's motion seems worthy of consideration.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I propose that Alberto Soto be appointed Convener of a Permanent Working Group on Planning and receive all possible support from the community. His proven professional experience over decades and his previous contributions to LACRALO planning are a strong guarantee that, if properly supported, this work can produce good results.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I have not consulted it before making this proposal.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

Thank you for your hard work.<br>

Dear All<br>
Having received no further input at 23:00 UTC today, the attached LACRALO Outreach and Engagement 2023 (FY23/FY24) Plan is considered final.<br>
<br>
By copy of this email, the plan is sent to ICANN GSE staff for approval.<br>
<br>
Please be guided accordingly.<br>

I offer some further clarity and context to Dev's information.<br>
<br>
Some of the territories named by Dev are still in colonial ties to Europe and usually counted as political entities of the metropolitan power; count the Dutch territories of Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba and St. Maarten and the French territories of Saint Martin and Saint Barthelemy. Any ALS developed would likely be EURALO-affiliated but may decide - as is the case with Martinique - to caucus with LACRALO. We in the Caribbean actively encourage such associations.<br>
<br>
We have exploited connections to the telco and tertiary education sectors plus regulators to advance the ICANN agenda across CARICOM. The Caribbean Internet Governance Forum (CIGF) has been a principal vehicle for enabling these connections. CROPP outreach to Suriname has resulted in an ISOC chapter but not an ALS to date.<br>
<br>
Outreach to the Bahamas, Dominica and Belize has resulted in active participation in the ccNSO; We know the individuals and they caucus with the Caribbean-in-ICANN grouping. Following the Caribbean engagement model, it is likely any ALS developed in those jurisdictions will have to be booted by folks from government, academia and the telecommunications sectors that are already engaged and knowledgeable about ICANN.<br>
<br>
We have gone to Guatemala City's Francisco Marroquin University - as part of a [Microsoft] Partners in Learning initiative - but used the opportunity to promote the ICANN agenda to the ICT leadership there. If memory serves there was a successful fellowship application from there. I'm less aware of what has transpired since then.<br>

Dear Claire,<br>
<br>
According to the ICANN Stakeholder Tool (<a href="https://bitly.com/ICANNST" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bitly.com/ICANNST</a>), there are 12 countries in the LAC region that do not have At-Large Structures. These are:<br>
<br>
Antigua and Barbuda (.ag)<br>
Bahamas (.bs)<br>
Belize (.bz)<br>
Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba (.bq)<br>
The Commonwealth of Dominica (.dm)<br>
Grenada (.gd)<br>
Guatemala (.gt)<br>
Saint Barthelemy (.bl)<br>
Saint Kitts and Nevis (.kn)<br>
Saint Martin (French part) (.mf)<br>
Saint Maarten (Dutch part) (.sx)<br>
Republic of Suriname (.sr)<br>
<br>
Outreach should therefore be targeted to get suitable organizations in these 12 countries to join At-Large.<br>
<br>
Initiatives such as Community Regional Outreach Program (CROP) could be used for such outreach.<br>
However, the proposed CROP strategy in the draft document says "1. Whenever a new outreach opportunity becomes available, the LACRALO leadership will send an email to the community, informing them about the opportunity, and inviting members to apply to the CROP.<br>
2. All LACRALO members are eligible to apply for the CROP program.<br>
3. To apply for a CROP opportunity, members should follow the application process: <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/soacabout/Community+Regional+Outreach+Program+%28CROP%29-FY23" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/display/soacabout/Community+Regional+Outreach+Program+%28CROP%29-FY23</a><br>
4, If there are more than two LACRALO members applying for the same CROP opportunity, the LACRALO leadership will invite the community to vote on the selection of the candidate who will be granted the CROP slot"<br>
<br>
<br>
This proposed strategy can unnecessarily create delays in filing a successful CROP application to an outreach event given the need to submit and get approved a CROP application 6-8 weeks before the outreach event.<br>
<br>
Given that LACRALO leadership will advertise a CROP opportunity, the LACRALO leadership should first reach out to ALS members that are in the subregion of the CROP outreach event to attend. Only if people from the subregion are not able to attend, then it goes out to the wider LACRALO.<br>
<br>
<br>
