Support the proposal. A reasonable timeframe for submission of funding must be clearly defined to ensure RALO's or local stakeholders/community members have sufficient time to proceed with planning activities. My guess is that some groups might have access to some for of credit line while funds are granted. Again, I support this proposal.

Acknowledged Remmy Nweke @ITREALMS From: Dev Anand Teelucksingh Sent: 22/01/2016 19:03 To: ALAC Subcommittee Outreach; ICANN At-Large Staff Subject: [Alac-sc-outreach] O&E budget proposal for the FBSC - Access by RALOsfor funding of local engagement activities
Dear O&E members, At-Large Staff
With today being the deadline for budget proposals to be submitted to the At-Large Finance and Budget Subcommittee (FBSC), please find attached a budget proposal from the O&E co-chairs for the FBSC's consideration - to allow access by RALOs for funding of local engagement activities.
Opportunities exist for At-Large members to do local outreach and engagement about ICANN and ICANN policy related issues. The local activities can include local presentations, brown bag lunch topics, local business persons presentations ie. Kiwanais, Rotary, Professional Women’s University Groups, Chamber of Commerce and more. These local groups at the grassroots are looking for professional speakers on a weekly basis and rely on local experts on various topics. They open up opportunities for speaking engagements at minimum cost.
We propose that each of the RALO’s have access up to $2,000 each for targeted local discretionary funds to permit the local travel, luncheons, displays, graphic promotional Facebook/Twitter graphics and printing.
For complete transparency and proper oversight, all RALO budget requests will require review and approval from the ALAC via the Finance and Budget Subcommittee (FBSC) and the Outreach and Engagement SC. Any approved RALO request will require detailed reporting to the ALAC on how the funds allocated were spent and objectives achieved. Local GSE approval could also be sought for additional oversight.
This proposal will be discussed on Monday's call where amendments can be suggested.
Kind Regards,
Dev Anand Teelucksingh Outreach and Engagement SC chair _______________________________________________ Alac-sc-outreach mailing list Alac-sc-outreach@atlarge-lists.icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac-sc-outreach
