  • AFRALO, EURALO, and NARALO made the special FY16 budget request to host General Assemblies, only EURALO's request has been approved for FY16. AFRALO's request has been declined because of a high level meeting for Ministers as well as the Next-Gen program that will take place in Marrakech (the number of grants needed are increased as a result). However, AFRALO and NARALO will be given priority to host GA in FY17.
  • ALAC/At-Large shall continue pushing for more RALO GAs and remind ICANN Finance Dept and the Board Finance & Budget Committee on the rotation of RALO General Assemblies; Rinalia Abdul Rahim has been pushing for more RALO GAs. Especially in light of the new meeting strategy, the ALAC shall come up with proposals that clearly indicate how many GAs should be held and where to host the GAs in the next three years at least, otherwise we may end up with one GA per year, which is unacceptable.

  • At-Large Funding Roadmap v2.xls
  • Olivier Crepin-Leblond thinks that it is unlikely to hold GA or ATLAS during a B Meeting; Sebastien Bachollet suggests to still keep B Meeting as an option and task ICANN Staff to find out whether it is feasible to have a facility with enough space to hold a GA or ATLAS III. 
  • In 'prehistorical' days, APRALO benefited from ICANN funding and held its first GA during an APNIC (?) meeting in Indonesia (?); it was the founding meeting for APRALO. There was another a small meeting of the APRALO Leadership Team funded by ICANN; that meeting was held in Hong Kong outside ICANN meeting but during a technical meeting dominated by industry players.

  • RALO GAs: RALO General Assemblies
  • This recommendation needs to be clarified, as it can be interpreted as At-Large wants to hold general assembly for each RALO every year (i.e. 5 GA / year). 
  • Should we add 'on a rotating, multi-year basis' at the end of the sentence to clarify? 
• 24 Nov 2015:
  
  • The idea is to present a proposal of RALO General Assemblies and At-Large Summits with geographic rotation. However, there has been different understanding with regard to the frequency of GAs and At-Large Summits, as there is concerns with regard to time for preparation, logistics, and costs. 
  • The idea is to remove the special budget request for general assemblies and incorporate the GAs in ICANN's FY budget. The limitation of ad-hoc request is that the number of GAs won't be consistent through years (e.g. FY16 only has 1 GA approved). However, we cannot be overly ambitious to organize too many GAs (e.g. 3 GAs in one FY) due to limitation from Staff resources.

  • Proposal for multi-year budget planning of ALAC and RALO Face to Face meetings
• 09 Mar 2016 (secretariat meeting - ICANN55):
  
  • Recommendation will be put on hold until At-Large receives a green light for having the multi-year budget
• 30 Apr 2016
  
  • The Proposal for Multi-Year Planning of At-Large RALO Face-to-Face Meetings has been submitted to the public comment on the Draft ICANN FY17 Operating Plan & Budget and Five-Year Operating Plan Update. ICANN Finance is reviewing the Proposal. 
    
• 12 May 2016 
  
  • Once the Proposal for Multi-Year Planning of At-Large RALO Face-to-Face Meetings is approved by the ICANN Board this recommendation can be marked completed. Board decision will be made in June 2016. 
  • If the Proposal is approved, there will be no need for RALOs to submit special budget requests for GAs; exception is FY16/17.
