No ALAC updates. But Aziz was in IGF24. And according to him, in IGF24 meeting, ALS present on the ground have had a meeting with the new ICANN CEO. He also mentioned, many African ALS were present, many concerns about remote participation. IGF24 recommended Strengthening digital cooperation and sustainable development.
Hadia proposed to organize a short 30-minute webinar (IGF24 ALS readout) on what At-Large has learned from it.
Everyone (Aziz, Michel, Abdeldjalil, Tijani, ...) will be able to talk about what they have seen and heard. Maybe AFRALO can do that with the other RALO.
