AFRALO FY18 Outreach and Engagement Strategy
Introduction
AFRALO
has achieved tremendous success in outreach and engagement within the region
especially with its participation in Africa Internet Summit and AFRINIC
Meetings. We have achieved a high rise in the number of ALSes to current 53 African ALSes.
Aim of the Strategy
With the
important increase in the number of ALSes, the strategy of FY18 will focus on
Engagement of the end users and will aim at:

over Africa to enhance engagement in the policy development processes and all
other ICANN activities

model and its bottom-up decision making process

new members (At-Large Structures and/or individual members)
Strategy plan
To reach
the aims of the strategy, AFRALO shall:
- Participate in events across Africa to:
- Organize engagement sessions to present AFRALO, At-Large and ICANN to
the event participants, explaining mission, constituencies and activities.
- Make use of all breaks and social events to do the adequate outreach to
bring African Internet organizations and individuals into ICANN Arena and make
them interested to be involved in the processes
- Make presentations about topics under discussion in ICANN to show how
the African ICANN community participate effectively in the ICANN policy
development
- Organize local events, in partnership with the local ALSes to enhance
their engagement and broaden their radiance in their respective countries
- Continue to identify universities and academic institutions to organize
fruitful discussions with students and teachers about Internet and ICANN to
bring young people into ICANN through these Open Sessions
