  Heidi Ullrich:Current time scheduled for outreach event: Time 18:00-19:30
  Heidi Ullrich:Monday evening
  Eduardo Diaz:We invited everyone interested.
  Glenn McKnight:I would suggest we recruit people who would be possible ALS's
  Glenn McKnight:A suggestion was Michael Geist
  Darlene Thompson:I would like to try to draw people in but also have the other RALOs
  Darlene Thompson:I like the idea of Michael Geist
  Heidi Ullrich:What would be the topic he be asked to discuss?
  Heidi Ullrich:could he be the keynote speaker but addressing the 5 year anniversary?
  Heidi Ullrich:And then have a few other RALO leaders?
  garth bruen:+1 on Michael Geist
  garth bruen:Glenn, within NARALO or any RALO?
  garth bruen:Perhaps ask the other RALO chairs to introduce themselves briefly
  Heidi Ullrich:The session is curently scheduled for 90 minutes
  Gordon Chillcott:Agree with Darlene.
  Heidi Ullrich:Staff have certificates. We could prepare those at very little cost.
  Glenn McKnight:Five years  service is one measurement
  garth bruen:Sure, since San juan?
  Eduardo Diaz:Staff helped a lot when putting together SF workshop
  Darlene Thompson:Yes - that's the best time
  Glenn McKnight:Yes  these times and dates
  Glenn McKnight:125 is a good number
  Heidi Ullrich:Thanks very much, Glenn!
  Eduardo Diaz:Garth we are waiting for you
  Glenn McKnight:Sorry folks  I am on a cordless and the receptioin is really poor.
  Eduardo Diaz:I think this is the first one, Am I rigth?
  Eduardo Diaz:for us
  Eduardo Diaz:That was the summit
  Gordon Chillcott:I like Garth's suggestion for a main topic.
  Darlene Thompson:I REALLY like Heidi's idea for doing the first hour with the fellows
  Eduardo Diaz:an outreach
  Darlene Thompson:Yeah, that would be best to do on-line
  Heidi Ullrich:Capacity building session workspace: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NARALO/pages/110234349/NARALO+Capacity+Building+Sessions+Workspace
  Darlene Thompson:Give them time to think
  Glenn McKnight:Yes
  Gordon Chillcott:I'll go along wiht it, as well - working with the Fellows, that is.
  Eduardo Diaz:@Darleene +1
  Evan Leibovitch:sorry. called away
  Glenn McKnight:I am close by  GO TRAIN  From Oshawa to Toronto .  
  Eduardo Diaz:Super *?
  Eduardo Diaz:Super 8
  Evan Leibovitch:http://www.cliftonhill.com/
  Glenn McKnight:Lots of places on Church street
  Evan Leibovitch:oops
  Evan Leibovitch:http://www.super8downtowntoronto.com/
  Eduardo Diaz:Sounds douable
  Glenn McKnight:Matt where is the PDF  chart?
  Matt Ashtiani:https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33006932/NARALO.xls
  Darlene Thompson:And Ganesh's slot
  Glenn McKnight:I don;t think I have a slot from Naralo,  
  Matt Ashtiani:you can download a copy of the excel sheet via that dropbox link
  Evan Leibovitch:The super8 is $110
  garth bruen:@evan can or us?
  Eduardo Diaz:Great table Matt
  Evan Leibovitch:@garth... CAD ... but they're near par anyway
  Glenn McKnight:still loading
  Eduardo Diaz:From Puerto Rico is about $320
  Heidi Ullrich:@Garth - US $
  Evan Leibovitch:westjet is Canada's jetblue/southwest
  Eduardo Diaz:When is the deadline for the booking?
  Heidi Ullrich:Eduardo, I believe it is end of August or early September. However, I think it would be good to have the NARALO ALS reps book earlier.
  Evan Leibovitch:sorry.
  Evan Leibovitch:also ... in the mail you may want to note the niagara trip, but that (the trip and extra hotel) is at the attendee's expense.  It woiuld be nice if some ALS people cold come for the social aspect
  Eduardo Diaz:@Heidi - Thks
  Evan Leibovitch:Alan is already funded
  Evan Leibovitch:Note: for ISOC NY ... I believe Joly has problems with internationmal travel. If he is unable to go Avri could represent the ALS
  Evan Leibovitch:Joly did not attend SF
  Eduardo Diaz:He can always take the train
  Evan Leibovitch:@eduardo... I don't think the problem is fear of flying
  Eduardo Diaz:Oh..ok.
  Glenn McKnight:My phone connection is terrible I am going to try cell
  Eduardo Diaz:@Darlene: The main problem is timing for the bookings
  Evan Leibovitch:Every ALS should be given the option to send one person. Who that is, should be up to them
  Eduardo Diaz:End of August?
  Heidi Ullrich:I think we need to wait until after the NARALO elections
  Heidi Ullrich:so we know who is being funded through the At-Large travel support
  Eduardo Diaz:So he bikes in NY?
  Eduardo Diaz:https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/display/atlarge/At-Large+ALAC+and+RALO+Elections%2C+Selections+and+Appointments+2012
  Matt Ashtiani:joseph has confired a drop dead date, as of right now, of auugust 31
  Matt Ashtiani:*confirmed
  Glenn McKnight:My question is the rocess of application for travel grant for the ALS
  Glenn McKnight:Do we have a form to complete?  
  Glenn McKnight:My travel  grant is for the end of the event for NARALO
  Matt Ashtiani:I would assume so. If you have previously had funding you will probably be asked to confirm the information on file.
  Eduardo Diaz:@Glenn: They have to fill-out a travel request form like any of us
  Glenn McKnight:I have not been funded by Naralo
  Matt Ashtiani:i would expect that if you have previously had funding from icann that the form will be mostly pre-filled
  Heidi Ullrich:most reps were in Mexico - except I believe the Colorado ALS.
  Glenn McKnight:Thanks
  Glenn McKnight:I will check with Joette what days are covered by NOMCOM  I don;t expect to be paid twice
  Darlene Thompson:A week would be great
  Gordon Chillcott:Same day next week?
  Heidi Ullrich:Would Wed at the same time be ok for everyone?
  Evan Leibovitch:next week OK with me
  Eduardo Diaz:No problem with me. Next week same day and hour
  Glenn McKnight:Thanks
  Heidi Ullrich:Perfect, Eduardo
  Glenn McKnight:No objection
  Heidi Ullrich:Thanks everyone!
