Outreach is a main pillar of our ALAC Improvements Implementation program
and so is very much in the Regional Leadership agenda as well as that of the
ALAC, ands as there will be the inevitably sub-committee or WG formed for
this I suspect you might just end up contributing your expertise in all this
personally real soon :-)... IN fact the ExCom meeting to be held in a
little under an hour see
https://st.icann.org/alac-excomm/index.cgi?02_june_2010_alac_excom is a
single purpose call to look at all aspects of the current 'state of play'
with all 13 recommendations from the ALAC Review so if any one wants to dial
in to that you of course all more than welcome... One of the most recent
outreach approaches the regions have been engaged with is
the Regional pamphlets (which of course) tend to focus on getting ALSes and
members to join in the 'wonderful world of ICANN' rather than the
in-service needs we clearly have BUT INreach became a normalized part of
our vernacular at the Nairobi meeting and is certainly a focus for us all
now... The next step from ALAC's point if view is to build on the regular
community briefing calls we run and have our first ICANN Webinar
/ Podcasts programming done after the Brussels meeting as a follow on
to those recently run around Policy Development by the GNSO sort of a there
is where it happens Here is How YOU can be involved approach.... As a
co-author of the new Policy WG Guidelines I'd appreciate your input on the
small program planning group for that activity I must say.
