FY21-3:

Access by RALOs for Funding of Local Engagement Activities 

AMOUNT (ESTIMATED)RECOMMENDED AMOUNT (ESTIMATED): 20,000 USD20,000 USD

This activity will be supported for an additional fiscal year and administered by Policy Development Support staff in collaboration with the regional vice presidents from the Global Stakeholder Engagement (GSE) team. In view of the current budget climate, approval is granted for $20,000 (which is the same amount as the last
threeyears' allocation) instead of the $30,000
requested. Approval is conditioned upon: (1) criteria to determine each RALO’s spending being
published in a central, publicly accessible online location; (2) the required report for the FY20 ABR being submitted on time; and (3) a report submitted for FY21. In addition, the RALOs are strongly encouraged to focus funding on online activities that involve cross-regional
engagement, instead of travel and in-person meetings that incur venue, catering and/or travel costs. The extent to which the FY21 funding is allocated to online cross-
regional engagement must be described in the FY21 report, and any expenditure on travel or physical events noted and explained. The criteria and reports are to be submitted to sbr-outcomes@icann.org and
submission is a condition of future resource allocations, if any.
With effect from FY22, this activity will be moved to the core ICANN budget, to be planned and (if appropriate) budgeted for on an annual basis. It is important to note that moving an activity to the core budget does not guarantee that it will be funded each year.

FY21-12:

Real-time Transcription of Adobe Connect Meetings in English - Final

RECOMMENDED AMOUNT (ESTIMATED): 18,000 USD

With the FY20  rollout of the Zoom conferencing tool,
a FY20 ABR was granted for up to ten (10) hours per month of RTT services within, or otherwise compatible with, Zoom and not Adobe Connect to  be run as a pilot/trial for the benefit of the whole community and
with the express requirement that the At Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) prepare and submit a report and review of the quality, sufficiency and recommendations regarding provision and continuation of
aRTT service by the close of FY20.  For FY21, approval is limited to the use of English only as a continuation of the FY20 pilot, conditional upon submission of the required
a report on the FY20 pilot and with the total number of
number of hours to be determined by consultation between the responsible Policy and Language Services staff, depending on the outcomes of the FY20 report
(but not to exceed the allocated approval amount). In addition, a FY21 report must be submitted for
review by ICANN org, with a view toward moving RTT support to the core budget from FY22, to be planned
and (if appropriate) budgeted for on an annual basis.
The report must be submitted to sbr-outcomes@icann.org and submission is a condition of future resource allocations, if any.
If ICANN org determines that this activity will be moved to the core ICANN budget, it is important
to note that this does not guarantee that
the activity will be funded each year. ICANN Org will consult with the community about the most appropriate ways to test RTT services in languages other than English. ICANN org believes that these additional pilot tests are best initiated following a review of the English pilot.

FY21-33: EURALO Request for Training at the FY21 EURALO General Assembly

RECOMMENDED AMOUNT (ESTIMATED): 4,000 USD

Following from similar training provided at the At Large Summit (ATLAS III) in 2019, partial approval is granted for
one (1) additional hotel night and applicable per diem for EURALO travelers already funded to the General Assembly. While ICANN Org is committed to supporting the community’s remote participation needs, the type of event and extent to which ICANN technical and Language
Services support can be made available for community events must be evaluated as part of a broader community consultation rather than via individual requests through the ABR process.

FY21-34: LACRALO Request for Training at the FY21 LACRALO General Assembly

RECOMMENDED AMOUNT (ESTIMATED): 3,000 USD

Partial approval for this capacity development activity is granted for the cost of the requested  venue, room and equipment rental. While ICANN Org is committed to supporting the community’s remote participation needs, the type of event and extent to which ICANN technical
and Language Services support should be made available
for community events must be evaluated as part of a broader community consultation rather than via individual requests through the ABR process.
