Call for Volunteers from AFRALO for Budget & Finance Subcommittee
Dear All, The ALAC is looking for a non-ALAC representative from AFRALO to join the ALAC Finance and Budget Subcommittee. The proposal to add non-ALAC representatives to the Finance and Budget Subcommittee came from Improvements Work Team C (ALAC/At-Large¹s participation in ICANN and ALS participation in At-Large) and was endorsed by the ALAC during their meeting of 25 January. Among the responsibilities of the Finance and Budget Subcommittee are the following: * Review the At-Large budget requests for FY12 * Identify key projects for FY12 and the following years * Provide advice to the ALAC and ICANN¹s Finance Department on current and upcoming budget matters The current listing for the SC therefore has the following members (designations): Cheryl Langdon-Orr (ALAC/APRALO) Charles Mok (APRALO) Tijani Ben Jamaa (ALAC/AFRALO) Dave Kissoondoyal (ALAC/AFRALO) Olivier Crepin-Leblond (ALAC/EURALO) Chair of the B&F-SC Sylvia Herlein Leite (ALAC/LACRALO) Gareth Shearman (ALAC/NARALO) Darlene Thomspon (NARALO) As this is a Subcommittee of the ALAC, the RALO representative will participate as an ex officio member, meaning that they do not have a formal vote, (should a vote in the SC ever be called for) but acts as an essential liaison point with the RALO and their ALSes on these matters. If you are interested in this AFRALO representative position, (including offers to act as alternates for those currently allocated), then please reply to the mailing list by Monday, 7 February at 2359 UTC. -- Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Seth Greene, Gisella Gruber-White, Marilyn Vernon, Kristina Nordström ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff[at]atlarge.icann.org website: www.atlarge.icann.org
Hello All, I will be happy to join the subcommittee. My only worry is sometimes, for my work, I have to be in areas without connectivity. Also meetings at 1400 UTC will not be attendable for me, most of the time. Otherwise , I will do my best to participate.

Français ci-dessous --------------------------- As promised in the last monthly call, here is the WT C activity report: The Work Team C is in charge of implementing Recommendations 5 and 6 of the At-Large improvement report: * Recommendation 5: ALAC should develop strategic and operational plans (including performance criteria and cost information) as part of ICANN’s planning process. o For both strategic and operational planning: Current At-Large processes used to contribute to ICANN planning will be reviewed, and any barriers identified. Any follow-up plans will be agreed to by ALAC and RALOs. o At-Large staff support levels and budget allocations in FY2009-2010 will be reviewed, and support increased, as provided throughout this project and the Final Report. o ALAC and staff will develop an annual support agreement. * Recommendation 6: More effort needs to be put into developing accurate cost models for At-Large activities. * At-Large information that would be useful, subsequent to improvements in financial reporting in FY2009 - 2010, will be reviewed. * It will be ensured that At-Large representatives have meeting accommodations equal to those of other funded communities. WT C looked into the current At-Large Strategic Planning, Operating Planning and Budget establishment, and found that the best way to analyse them is to perform a SWOT Analysis (SWOT stands for Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats). The SWOT analysis has been done by the WT members, and it was decided to involve the whole At-Large community in this analysis. WT C asked all RALOs and all ALSes to provide their input in the SWOT. Unfortunately, none from AFRALO contributed so far. WT C also started mapping flow charts of the planning process (previous and new). The WT is waiting for the regions contribution to match SWOT points to individual Rec. 5 & 6 subtasks ---------------------------- Comme promis lord de la dernière téléconférence, voici un rapport d’activité du WT C : L’équipe de travail C (WT C) est responsable de la mise en œuvre des recommandations 5 et 6 du rapport de l’amélioration d’At-Large : * Recommandation 5: ALAC doit développer des plans stratégique et opérationnel (avec des critères de performance et des informations sur le coût) dans le cadre du processus de planification d’ICANN. o Pour la planification stratégique et opérationnelle : Les processus actuels utilisés par At-Large seront révisés, et toutes les barrières seront identifiées. tout plan de suivi sera arrêté en commun accord entre ALAC et les RALO. o Le niveau de soutien et le budget du personnel At-Large de l’année fiscale 2009-2010 seront révisés, et le soutien sera augmenté comme prévu dans ce projet et dans le rapport final. o Le personnel et ALAC développeront un accord annuel concernant le soutien. * Recommandation 6: Un plus grand effort doit être déployé dans le développement de modèles de coût précis pour les activités d’At-Large. o Les informations d’At-Large qui seraient utiles suite aux améliorations des rapports financiers 2009-2010 seront révisées. * Il sera assuré que les représentants d’At-Large auront un hébergement égal à celui des autres communautés prises en charge durant les réunions d’ICANN. Le WT C a examiné la planification actuelle (stratégique et opérationnelle et budgétaire), et a trouvé que la meilleure manière de les analyser est de faire une analyse suivant la méthode “SWOT” (SWOT veut dire Forces (Strength), Faiblesses (Weakness), Opportunités (Opportunities) et menaces (Threats)). L’analyse SWOT a été faite par les membres du WT C, et il a été décidé d’impliquer toute la communauté At-Large dans cette analyse. L’équipe de travail a invité tous les RALO et toutes les ALS à contribuer. Malheureusement aucune contribution AFRALO n’a été enregistrée à ce jour. Le WT C à aussi commencé à tracer les diagrammes des processus (anciens et nouveaux) de planification. Il attend la contribution des régions pour établir la relation entre les points du SWOT et les sou-tâches des recommandations 5 et 6. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tijani BEN JEMAA Executive Director Mediterranean Federation of Internet Associations Phone : + 216 70 825 231 Mobile : + 216 98 330 114 Fax : + 216 70 825 231 ------------------------------------------------------------------
