00:27:48    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    I see the approval is for Half day (4 hrs)
00:28:13    Yaovi Atohoun - ICANN Org:    What is the starting time?
00:28:22    Yaovi Atohoun - ICANN Org:    And ending time in UTC?
00:28:50    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    Perhaps you can do 2 dates ? - 2 hrs one week and 2 hrs another
00:29:07    Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org:    Just a thought - could there be an EN and a FR break out room during the time that the interpreters need to take a break?
00:29:13    Muriel ALAPINI:    I think we need to keep in mind that there is currently a lot of webinars in IG. So maybe we can have tw
00:29:28    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    But not sure you can do 6 hrs @Hadia Elminiawi , because you are approved for HALF day
00:29:50    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    I understand that Half day is 4 hrs
00:31:01    Muriel ALAPINI:    Replying to "I think we need to k..."

As @Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org  suggest above
00:31:09    Hadia Elminiawi:    @Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org Is half a day 4 hrs?
00:31:32    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    @Hadia Elminiawi I believe so
00:32:41    Fatimata Seye Sylla:    Reacted to "Just a thought - cou..." with 
00:33:30    Muriel ALAPINI:    If it’s postponed, maybe AFRALO can do it during the next Africa IGF with a chance to have a lot of stakeholders and maybe some africans states members
00:34:30    Yaovi Atohoun - ICANN Org:    But I think Interpreters could do the two hours is really required
00:35:21    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    @Hadia Elminiawi , Swarmed confirmed Half day is 4 hrs
00:35:43    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    Welcome @Sarmad Hussain - ICANN Org !
00:37:05    Malick Alassane:    yes, we will provide an initial draft
00:37:27    Muriel ALAPINI:    ok
00:37:36    Yaovi Atohoun - ICANN Org:    Like I heard someone raised a concern about the title during the call yesterday.  I could then suggest “AFRALO Regional  UA Adoption strategy for end-Users” ?????
00:38:52    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    I see Sarmad’s hand on
00:39:21    Hadia Elminiawi:    @Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org Thanks let's go ahead with 4 hours, and try to conclude our work during those two hours. @Sarmad Hussain - ICANN Org thank you for confirming

00:41:15    Fatimata Seye Sylla:    I think we can keep the date and I agree to do it in 2 sessions of 2hrs each.
00:41:20    Hadia Elminiawi:    Reacted to "I think we need to..." with 
00:41:26    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    Reacted to "I think we can keep ..." with 
00:41:37    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    @Fatimata Seye Sylla that seems reasonable

00:43:13    Muriel ALAPINI:    Replying to "I think we can keep ..."

One session can explain UA et a second can be a sharing roundtable of various UA activities in Africa with the ambassadors for example
00:44:11    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    How do you envision the Agenda of the first session ?
00:45:19    Muriel ALAPINI:    One session can explain UA et a second can be a sharing roundtable of various UA activities in Africa with the ambassadors for example
00:45:32    Fatimata Seye Sylla:    Replying to "I think we can keep ..."

Let's see the agenda and then we will see how to split it
00:45:52    Athanase Bahizire -DRCongo:    Good idea, to keep the dates. There is no need to postpone. 
As for the document we should keep developing the strategy.

For the outreach strategy, we really need to involve ALSs as Yaovi proposed, but also target some other organisations that are relevant to the strategy such as Registrars, Universities, ...
00:46:45    Fatimata Seye Sylla:    @Sarmad Hussain - ICANN Org, we are targeting multiple stakehokders
00:47:40    Fatimata Seye Sylla:    stakeholders and not stakehokders
00:49:06    Hadia Elminiawi:    @Yaovi Atohoun - ICANN Org we could change the name

00:49:48    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    At ICANN 75 meeting
00:49:52    Malick Alassane:    Statement " Status, Impact and Recommendations for Universal Acceptance (UA) in Africa" : https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/104629701/FINAL%20Joint%20AFRALO-AfrICANN%20Meeting%20-%20ICANN69%20%28Virtual%29.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1605577764000&api=v2
00:50:12    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    Universal Acceptance as a means of accessing internet in local languages
00:50:25    Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong:    ICANN 75, Kuala Lumpur, September 2022
    •    Statement "Universal Acceptance as a means of accessing the Internet in local languages"
00:50:29    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AFRALO/pages/104629701/Joint+AFRALO-AfrICANN+Statements+Workspace
00:50:30    Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong:    Reacted to "Universal Acceptance…" with 
00:50:51    Yaovi Atohoun - ICANN Org:    Not limiting to the statement
00:56:15    Hadia Elminiawi:    @Mutegeki Cliff thank you - please go ahead and invite all stakeholders that you mentioned
00:56:42    Fatimata Seye Sylla:    I agree with Dr Jabhera
00:57:06    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    Who will be the participants /audience for the training ? Is this training for engineers? Or for a general (end users) audience ?
00:57:16    Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong:    AFRALO UA Strategy it will refer directly to enduser that is different than AFRICA UA Strategy
00:59:03    Hadia Elminiawi:    @Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org I think it should be an introduction to what needs to be done to achieve UA
00:59:57    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    Ok @Hadia Elminiawi makes sense
01:00:17    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    Reminder AFRALO held a series of UA training sessions in 2022see
01:00:26    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AFRALO/pages/104645643/AFRALO+Universal+Acceptance+Project+2022
01:00:27    Fatimata Seye Sylla:    Replying to "AFRALO UA Strategy i..."

Yes, the strategy will be for AFRALO but we will have other stakeholders involved in the strategy development
01:03:51    Muriel ALAPINI:    Replying to "https://community.ic..."

Those sessions were for the AFRLO’s members. Maybe these new sessions can be for an audience outside AFRALO
01:05:29    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    Right Hadia with 90 MINS no break
01:05:52    Fatimata Seye Sylla:    @Hadia Elminiawi, Yaovi said we can have 2hrs with the interpretors
01:06:51    Hadia Elminiawi:    @Otieno.Barrack focusing on end users is important indeed for UA adoption.
01:08:02    Hadia Elminiawi:    +1 we need to focus on what we can do. It needs to be an implementable strategy.
01:09:35    Muriel ALAPINI:    The end users are not always able to attend a webinars. The ambassadors can help in their country with the help of AFRALO
01:10:06    Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong:    Reacted to "The end users are no…" with 
01:11:46    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    The introduction to the topic can provide examples of UA and its usefulness
01:13:19    Otieno.Barrack:    It would be great if we have a pen holder
01:13:35    Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong:    Reacted to "It would be great if…" with 
01:13:39    Simon Mayoye - ICANN Org:    Quite a relevant use case @Dr. Jabhera Matogoro (TZ)  on end user experience. Demonstrable for motivation for the advocacy
01:14:56    Bram Fudzulani:    Very practical indeed to bring the issue of the relevance
01:16:18    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    This is the firs section of 2022 (for your reference) : https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AFRALO/pages/104629106/2022-05-10+AFRALO+Universal+Acceptance+Training+Session+1
01:18:51    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    Focus : End users
01:19:16    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    Objective- Create awareness and building capacity gradually
01:19:22    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    Simple examples
01:19:30    Hadia Elminiawi:    1- We agreed that the focus is on end users
01:19:31    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    To be cited
01:19:45    Hadia Elminiawi:    2- we statistics
01:20:22    Hadia Elminiawi:    3- Simple examples - How can are our ALSs become UA ready
01:20:52    Hadia Elminiawi:    we need statistics
01:21:18    Hadia Elminiawi:    how can our ALSs become UA ready?
01:21:43    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    Note the end of May is the deadline to have the sessions
01:21:56    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    So 1st session will be next week for 90 mins
01:21:57    Dr. Jabhera Matogoro (TZ):    Call for UA Day 2024 was clear, it is whether you host UA Awareness Session or UA Adoption. They both have two different outcomes. We should not try to mix it. We applied for UA Adoption and NOT UA Awareness Session
01:22:13    Malick Alassane:    thanks @Barrack. Great Proposal
01:26:40    Mutegeki Cliff:    i will also support as a pen holder

01:27:52    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    To be precise, the High level part will be about what needs to be done to achieve UA.

01:28:20    Silvia Vivanco - ICANN Org:    X 90 MINS
