  • Potential public comment period needs to be made aware to RALOs, as public comment period may be brief and RALO members cannot engage in time; ALAC members need to closely collaborate with RALO members with regard to this process; capacity building of public comment proceedings is also needed 
  • ALS Criteria and Expectations Taskforce has been working on figuring out a suitable way that ALAC and Staff to feed ALSes information of policy. RALOs need to take the initiative to confirm interests in obtaining such information. 
  • It may be useful for subject matter experts to provide an overview of public comment, instead of just stating the procedure related matters, during RALO calls. 
  • LACRALO has worked with GSE and ALAC members and invited speakers to educate ALSes about certain public comment topics during teleconferences. 

Input from Social Media Working Group: 

• Dev Anand Teelucksingh to list the tools investigated:https://community.icann.org/x/QaM0Aw
• 24 Sep 2015: 
  
  • The challenge for social media is that can we have a conversation on policy via social media? Current policy conversation is taking place on Skype, mailing list, and calls/meetings. 
  • It would be useful to monitor different social networks to see what has been said about certain policy topics/reports. 
  • ICANN should task certain staff members in following social media conversations about policy topics. 
  • This recommendation is also related to Outreach & Engagement Subcommittee. It talks how to get people engaged in public comment periods, etc. 
  • Social Media Working Group can ask question to get people involved in public comment. 
  • Break down the questions and encourage people to answer questions in small bits. 
  • Use particular hashtag to group the conversations around certain policy topic. 
  • Task an At-Large Working Group to experiment with this method and ask/answer questions about policy topics. 

Input from Technology Taskforce: 

• The TTF is to review tools such as Liquid Feedback ( http://liquidfeedback.org/ )
• The TTF is currently evaluating Loomio (https://www.loomio.org/) an online tool for collaborative decision-making
