Sounds like a good theory to me especially on the fellows support from their RALOs.

I have asked a group of fellows to look at a couple of sections from the Fellows survey and look at what strategies APRALO could use to improve the result of "How engaged do Fellows feel with their RALOs" and "Do they feel acknowledged and encouraged by their RALOs". The group will bring back some recommendations to the GA that we as a RALO can work together on. Bottom-up.. ☺ The only reason we are working on these two areas is that (apart from the gender question) they were the only RALO related questions asked in the survey. The others were generic.. But these are good starter questions for our APRALO fellows from over a couple of years to get their teeth into. This activity will hopefully show that working together to make changes within our RALO that will impact them as members, is not dissimilar to being a member if an At-Large or ICANN working group and contributing to change across At-Large or ICANN on issues that will impact them as end-users. Well, thats the theory.. ☺ We will see how it goes...

We now need to answer the question of how to utilise the resources they've managed to put together to get more people on board and active. I think it's after that we can check if it's making her mark.

I guess what we are all getting at is how do we make engagement engaging? I think the Onboarding presentation was great but did it reach the mark? Did we get feedback from anyone? Dev? If so how do we get it out in a meaningful engaging way to the masses so they understand and can't wait to be a part of At-Large?

This program should be extended to the ALSes because the Materials created give a simplistic mode of how they can understand and participate.

We keep saying that a lot of our potential participants are not comfortable with English and then we give them that booklet. I love those videos where an artist draws a flowchart as a visual to explain a process - no language but the message is clear. A new online guidebook could consist of a series of flowcharts that introduce and explain each process. By clicking onto the flowchart you would access the artist's "explanation" of how the process occurs, but no actual voice-over required - so no language barriers.. Anyone know a good artist?

(see below) There is a beginner's guide that explains how to participate in At-Large, but it is more than three years old. https://www.icann.org/resources/files/participating-at-large-2013-11-08-en And when I read the Guide I can't help wondering why this has not been providing a suitable answer to all the people who have asked me this question. Are we missing the target? How can we rectify this?

It’s certainly an issue we’ve had in the individual users’ org and I think it would be useful to reflect this in EURALO’s Outreach Plan.
