Thanks for your thoughts Sala. To be clear, at the moment (and for all of history) there is no explicit At-Large budget, nor do WGs have any budget. Alan At 28/11/2017 03:27 PM, Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro wrote:

Dear Alan,

* The problem is easily solved if the Chair is appointed on a lottery basis; * Ensuring rotation of RALO Chairs is also critical; * The main thing is participation by all the RALOs and a position should not determine output. * Ideally, you could have a Chair, Vice Chair and Secretary; * Clear Terms of Reference or Charter etc and scope of works and deliverables to justify expenditure of meetings; * An estimated budget of the WG on overall At Large Budget. * Clear reporting timelines and mechanisms. Wish you all well,

Sala

Outreach & Engagement Subcommittee

In Abu Dhabi, we agreed to repopulate the RALO–appointed O&E SC, verify that thee other members still wish to participate and solicit new membership.

In attempting to implement this, several issues arose: · The leadership structure is rather confusing: 1 Chair plus five Co-Chairs. · In the past, we could not identify an explicit call for RALO appointments (and the lack of it has caused considerable difficulty). · It is not clear how the “Co-Chairs” were appointed nor what their role was in relation to RALOs. · There are significant plans in place with regard to the IGF meeting in Geneva in December. Reforming the SC now could be problematic.

Proposal

· Two members named by RALO, at least one of which is a member of the RALO leadership team (Chair, Secretariat, Vice-Chair) · Effective date: 01 January 2018.

To be Decided

· Leadership structure (Chair and Vice-Chairs; Co-Chairs; etc.) · If there are regional Co-Chairs or Vice-Chairs, their relation to the appointed members.
