00:30:47 Michelle DeSmyter - ICANN Org: Seun is an apology today
00:32:21 Glenn McKnight: The turnaround time till Jan 30th for support is pretty short. We have two ALS expressing interest in NARALO, hoping to have our Native American participants step up on Indigenous languages but no response.
00:32:31 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: UA Day At-Large workspace: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CRALO/pages/98638284/At-Large+Activities+at+the+2023+Universal+Acceptance+Day
00:32:51 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: We are beginning to hear of several ALSes that have plans surrounding UA day.
00:33:14 Amrita Choudhury: Heidi many of the APRALO ALses have applied but I will ask them to update this hseet
00:33:17 Amrita Choudhury: sheet
00:33:23 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: Thanks!
00:33:58 Glenn McKnight: Louis Houle ( Board member of .Quebec ) will participant in the NARALO session. no details on ISOC NY efforts by Greg yet
00:34:09 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: The UASG has a menu of activities available with funding available for each (see: https://uasg.tech/ua-day/).
00:34:16 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: Deadline is 31 January.
00:34:48 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: Funding ranges from $500 to $6000.
00:34:50 Amrita Choudhury: Agree Jonathan
00:35:21 Glenn McKnight: It seems to me that the timelines are very short
00:35:34 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: One of the events that NARALO is planning is a 1/2 day event at Greg’s ALS (ISOC NY).
00:35:57 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: The form is one page. It won’t take long to complete the online form.
00:36:20 Amrita Choudhury: Till now I know 3 proposals have been submitted from APRALO ALSes and we expects atleast 2-3 more
00:40:38 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: Please be sure to work with your GSE RVP. They will be in touch with Sarmad.
00:41:27 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: @Amrita, could you please note the three elements of the At-Large plan you set out?
00:41:47 Michelle DeSmyter - ICANN Org: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CRALO/pages/98638284/At-Large+Activities+at+the+2023+Universal+Acceptance+Day
00:42:04 Amrita Choudhury: @Heidi - the 3 tiered approach?
00:43:35 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: #At-LargeInternet4All
00:43:38 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: Is that correct?
00:44:05 Amrita Choudhury: A four pronged approach was discussed: in the call between Satish, Seun, Heidi and Me. - At ALAC level: By Social Media campaigns. - Cross-RALO level: Organise a cross RALO online discussion to deliberate on what has been done in each RALO so far to promote UA, what challenges are foreseen and how to take it forward. The UA ambassadors from the region who may be part of ALSes could be encouraged to come and share on the first part, while the way ahead could be discussed by RALO heads. -RALO leaders look forward to your thoughts in improvising this plan. - RALO level: At the RALO level videos, infographics can be created and for that can apply for UA funding. This could be done in collaboration with the regional GSE team. Local – ALSes – Local level activities by ALSes can be encouraged. There are presentations, speakers available from the UASG team for this. For venue and other costs ALSes can be encouraged to ask for funds. This can also be done in coordination with the GSE team.
00:44:16 Glenn McKnight: I have reached out to the Assembly of First Nations in Canada that is working to push Indigenous languages in Canada for a speaker. No response yet
00:44:43 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: We will add the info on the logos, and the hashtags to the At-Large UA Day workspace as a tool ket
00:44:45 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: Kit
00:45:12 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: The UASG site also has a set of documents that are being suggested for references.
00:45:30 Amrita Choudhury: Would all RALO's be ok with an inter RALO discussion? If yes, then I will share a document with a rought plan for all to comment and improve.
00:45:37 Amrita Choudhury: *rough
00:49:00 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: Thanks, Amrita. Will this inter-RALO discussion seek UASG funding for speakers, etc?
00:49:17 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: If so, please be sure to submit a funding proposal by 31 January.
00:49:39 Amrita Choudhury: No we do not need funding for an online activity Heidi
00:50:08 Amrita Choudhury: But if the RALO's together want to make videos from end user perspective on UA etc. we could seek funds
00:51:32 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: If the ABR is approved
00:52:10 Natalia Filina: Approved finally, great!
00:52:21 Natalia Filina: we will be busy. All-)
00:52:37 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: Thanks for leading on this, Natalia!
00:52:52 Amrita Choudhury: Reacted to "Thanks for leading o..." with
00:53:30 Natalia Filina: thanks Claire
00:56:14 Natalia Filina: we don`t stop to welcome all
00:58:58 Natalia Filina: great to have different opinions, really
00:59:15 Seb Bachollet: @JZ nobody say that
00:59:42 Amrita Choudhury: I am ok with the present quo
01:03:28 Michelle DeSmyter - ICANN Org: Welcome Abdeldjalil!
01:03:51 Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong: Hello All sorry for joining late the meeting, Thanks Michelle
01:04:02 Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org: Welcome Abdel
01:04:30 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: It may be useful that the current hosts and the upcoming hosts hold a transition meeting at the ICANN public meeting.
01:05:06 Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong: Replying to "Welcome Abdel"
Thanks Silvia
01:05:44 Amrita Choudhury: Reacted to "It may be useful tha..." with
01:06:50 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: Yes, Staff support could create a table of activities of the RALO leaders so that it is easier to transition
01:06:53 Michelle DeSmyter - ICANN Org: Welcome Greg!
01:07:56 Amrita Choudhury: Makes sense heidi
01:07:59 Greg Shatan: Hi, sorry to be late. I was packing furiously and now on way to airport for Closed Generics F2F in DC
01:08:00 Amrita Choudhury: Heidi
01:10:13 Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org: AI: Staff to create a tool to facilitate Regional leadership transition, with items, leads, etc.
01:12:10 Glenn McKnight: @Silvia this is a good idea but the interest and commitment of the existing leaders and incoming leaders are willing and able to communicate on the work details, unfinished work before, during and perhaps for a while after so the transition is seamless and effective
01:12:37 Amrita Choudhury: Reacted to "AI: Staff to create ..." with
01:12:51 Michelle DeSmyter - ICANN Org: We do have 90 min ;)
01:13:42 Amrita Choudhury: We should discuss them separately IMO Claire
01:14:07 Michelle DeSmyter - ICANN Org: Welcome Seun!
01:14:51 Seun Ojedeji: Thanks and sorry for joining late
01:17:45 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: It might also be useful to discuss the LACRALO ALSes experience with onboarding
01:17:57 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: And the areas of capacity building they need
01:17:59 Jonathan Zuck: Yes, that’s what I was saying about outreach. People need a grounding ICANN activities. True for mentoring as well.
01:18:49 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: We might also discuss various mentoring programs, etc
01:18:59 Amrita Choudhury: Reacted to "We might also discus..." with
01:20:50 Greg Shatan: Our role with policy is not really policy development or management; it is really policy communication. The ALSs need to have a channel for 2-way communication about the policy work going on and to communicate with each other as well.
01:22:47 Jonathan Zuck: Agree Seb. We need to expand the responsibilities of the elected ALAC reps
01:23:48 Glenn McKnight: The ALAC elected via Nomcom vs the RALO process has big variance in informed representation.
01:28:42 Jonathan Zuck: agree
01:29:31 Glenn McKnight: Some of us have been on the NOMCOM and we see typically the number of applications to the ALAC is generally very low
01:30:19 Amrita Choudhury: +1 Glenn
01:30:21 Glenn McKnight: In some cases its not their first choice since many seek board participation
01:30:41 Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org: ALAC ROPs article Section B: ALAC and ALAC-Associated Responsibilities :
01:30:49 Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/99699087/Rules+of+Procedure
01:31:39 Glenn McKnight: @Silvia responsibilities in written form isn't always match performance
01:31:43 Greg Shatan: accidental…
01:32:10 Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org: Provides definitions and ALAC members responsibilities
01:32:31 Jonathan Zuck: And those written responsibilities are pretty abstract, @Glen
01:32:35 Glenn McKnight: NARALO has routinely the ALAC folks on our monthly calls to help explain the important policy issues to the ALS membership
01:32:38 Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org: @ Glenn the ROPs are the legal foundation for the responsibilities
01:33:14 Glenn McKnight: A framework for responsibilities doesn
01:34:22 Jonathan Zuck: I’m happy to attend your RALO coordination meeting and help brainstorm
01:34:23 Glenn McKnight: A framework for work/volunteer responsibilities doesn't always transfer into results. Lack of performance review makes it redundant
01:35:23 Jonathan Zuck: By potentially recalling your reps, I suppose
01:35:29 Natalia Filina: great discussion, only one place for such discuss. Great you are here @JZ
01:36:13 Glenn McKnight: Seun sound is breaking up
01:36:17 Michelle DeSmyter - ICANN Org: Seun, your line is breaking up
01:36:17 Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org: Also please kindly note document ALAC Rules of ProcedureAdjunct Document 01 Position Description for ALAC Members, Liaisons and Appointees
01:36:26 Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/99699087/Rules+of+Procedure
01:38:08 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: There might be a consideration of defining the roles of the RALO leaders as well.
01:38:22 Seb Bachollet: It is time to start work on Continuous improvement program at At-Large level
It will help to answer those questions
01:38:38 Jonathan Zuck: Good idea @Heidi
01:39:12 Greg Shatan: I need to drop off and go through security. Bye all!
01:40:03 Natalia Filina: -)))
01:40:08 Jonathan Zuck: I need to run to another meeting. Thanks all!
01:40:44 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: We have noted that AIs be stated clearly for some time.
01:40:49 Seun Ojedeji: Sorry about my bad sound, summary we should bring the ALAC members on discussion with the RALO leadership to hear from them what role they can play within their RALOs as it concerns policy.
01:41:01 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: But will also send them to your for your review.
01:41:07 Natalia Filina: +1 @Seun
01:46:32 Natalia Filina: To do research and gathering date, yes
01:48:15 Natalia Filina: 90 min is good timing
01:49:00 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: Monthly calls to be set up at 90 mins.
01:49:06 Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org: AI-@Staff to organize a Monthly 90 mins call
01:49:09 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: Should they have two rotating times?
01:49:12 Augusto Ho: For me is OK
01:49:24 Seun Ojedeji: 90 mins is fine if we finish earlier better
01:49:46 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: We could try to hold them the day after the ALAC monthly call.
01:50:09 Natalia Filina: +1 Heidi
01:51:04 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: Amrita, is a rotating time ok?
01:51:10 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: Or one globally friendly time?
01:51:27 Seun Ojedeji: +1 Amrita

01:51:44 Amrita Choudhury: one global friendly time
01:51:49 Amrita Choudhury: is ok with me
01:51:50 Natalia Filina: Thanks Claire and all take care and see you
01:51:51 Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org: Thank you all
01:51:53 Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org: We will send a Doodle for 2 90 min times
01:51:54 Seun Ojedeji: Replying to "Or one globally frie..."
