Hi all, for your information about the summit : At-Large Summit to be held in Mexico City starting 28 February one person ( Authorized Representative) by ALS will be invite to Mexico, but before that we need to discuss about the agenda items of our General Assembly ( AFRALO) that will take place during the Summit. *Selection of Working Group on the summit Topics* *There will be five working groups as a part of the Summit program. The purpose of the working groups will be to develop a written statement for ratification during the General Session at the close of the Summit. The statements will then be sent on to the Board of ICANN as a position of the entire At-Large community.* *Each Summit attendee will be expected to participate in one working group during the Summit, and, to participate in the work of preparing a draft statement on the subject of their working group in advance of the Summit*. *You will be automatically assigned to the working group that you have rated most highly below which is also in the top five across all respondents. The Summit organisers may assign you to one of your next-highest-preference choices in order to balance the number of participants in each working group *. *You and the others who complete the survey will choose the subjects of the five working groups. We have prepared a list below of subjects that are currently being debated in ICANN for you to choose from. If you choose "Other Issue" you will be able to input an additional subject, which will be visible to others who complete this survey. They, like you, will be able to enter new issues, but they will also be able to 'vote' for the issue that you have provided, just as you are able to 'vote' for issues entered by those who have completed this survey before you. These subjects will be considered for other elements of the Summit programme, but in any case for them to be included they would need to be related to the mandate and mission of ICANN*. It is suggested to limit the size of the different working groups to 25 to ensure that there is enough room for accommodation. The working group rooms are for a maximum of 25 participants. 2) *Travel Booking information from Heidi our new regional advise * BCD Travel will be booking your flights to Mexico. They will be contacting you this week. BCD has French language capabilities. Please could you respond to their e-mail at your earliest convenience? Flights will only be booked between 9-23 January. so we need to check sometime our mail to be more reactive. Kind regards, Hawa 2009/1/13 Alan Levin <alan@futureperfect.co.za>
Hi,
Is there any public information about the Summit?
I believe that there will be some travel support for ALS's but I must have missed any applications or announcements as it's already happening in ± 6 weeks. I am sorry I missed the telecon last week, I see this is an agenda item with Hawa's name, please can you advise us what is the situation?
Thanks,
Alan _______________________________________________ AFRI-Discuss mailing list AFRI-Discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org
