33The ALAC should arrange more At-Large Capacity Building Webinars.ALACTG5
  • ALAC
  • Capacity Building

COMPLETED (question)

 

Actions: 

  •  
    • During ICANN 54, Technology Taskforce to meet with ICANN IT (Josh Baulch) and discuss AC recording conversion into videos
    • Nathalie Peregrine/ Ariel Liang to confirm that whether the wiki page of the repository of webinars is included in the ALS welcome email 
    • During ICANN 54, ALAC to discuss with Nora Abusitta with regard to the internship program 

Notes: 

  • Need to define 'Capacity Building' and possibly change the term
  • : 
    • There has been a fully developed At-Large webinar program in 2015, but the participation level has been quite low 
    • The webinars on important cross community issues usually attract participation. 
    • APRALO-APAC Hub webinars address the needs in the region and the topics have been identified collaboratively between staff and community members. This is appreciated by the community. 
    • Webinars should continue and ALSes need to be encouraged to participate 
    • One of the challenges is the ability to use the webinar materials after they take place and share them on social media. AC recordings are difficult to be converted into videos that can be shared on YouTube. 
    • It would be good to track the stats (e.g. number of downloads) with regard to the past webinars. Far more people may be watching the webinars after they have taken place. Those stats can serve as the baseline numbers to measure future participation. Participation in the capacity building program can be a good metrics/criteria to measure engagement. We need to push the capacity building information/materials to the community members and encourage them to take advantage of them. 
    • At-Large Structures should know about the wiki page of the repository of the webinars.  
    • The repertoire of the webinars is large, but it may be intimidating for a newcomer to navigate through. At-Large Community members/Staff need to provide more guidance to make webinars more accessible, highlight the key webinars, and provide frameworks on how to use the resources. Reorganization of that wiki page is needed. The listing of the webinars needs to be more intuitive and should not be merely based on publish dates. A short blurb about each webinar or some blog posts about learning opportunities may be a good way to entice ALSes to click through, as learning process itself takes time. Potential ICANN interns can work on this type of project. 
    • Re publicizing the webinars after they take place - IEEE breaks the recordings down into digestible sections, uses twitter feed and mailing lists. NTEN uses twitter feed and tweet throughout the entire webinar. They also use tools to see how long people have been engaged with the webinar, as well as other tools to retain people's attention. 
    • Twitter feed will be effective if it is targeting individuals. We don't know much about the individuals (ALS members) within the At-Large community. It is important to first get to know the individuals within the ALSes and understand who we are trying to attract in order to get them engaged.
