Re: [APAC-Discuss] [At-Large] APRALO Brochures (Ideas for Outreach) and Preparation for Capacity Building

Hi Wyn, There is work that the RALO can do, that is urging the ALSes to reach out and by setting clear goals. The Outreach Sub Working Group has to work with the RALOs anyway but the teeth of implementation is at the RALO and ALS level. Then there is the influx of ALS applicants and preparing them for seamless engagement. In-reach is where we already have organisations who are ALSes but they need to be encouraged to actively participate in policy development processes and/or other avenues. Either way (inreach/outreach), the shortlist of URLs is still necessary and probably exists anyway but it's no good if it exists but the RALOs and ALSes don't know where to go.

Dear Maureen, I completely understand your point with the challenge of time, that is why the doddle had been sent with several options, and out of 15 participants who fill in the doodle poll, 14 mentioned this time as appropriate one. I also asked those for whom those slates are not convenient to fill in the doodle to understand for how many people this day will not work, but no one did:( The date and time has been selected in accordance with the majority votes. Next time we will do the poll again to find the better choice.

APRALO colleagues As Siranush had informed you already, I am on a working group (headed by Cheryl Langdon-Orr) that is looking at measuring the performance of ALAC members (as expected in the ALAC Rules of Procedure). We are later to be looking at ALSes and RALOs. It is an extremely difficult thing to do when: * the people in these positions are volunteers who have offered to do this work out of the goodness of their hearts - how do you measure their contribution to a task that has been set? * the Board and Management are becoming more vocal about getting value for money spent within the system - it costs a lot of money to bring the committees of the ICANN system together for each meeting. three times a year. They rightfully want to know that they are getting their money's worth. * it is very difficult to ascertain what METRICS are appropriate to measure each particular type of performance (attendance? contribution? value of contribution? others?) As ALSes you elect your APRALO representatives on the ALAC (me and Holly) and although Raf has been appointed to the ALAC as and APRALO NOMCOM candidate - the expectations should be the same. Therefore I'd really like to hear not only about WHAT performance criteria should be evaluated but also HOW it might be appropriately measured. I would like to use the advice of the ALSes to put together an evaluative process which could help us evaluate all the groups we have been tasked to evaluate. This is what we are looking at, at the moment: 1. Do ALAC members attend all the meetings they should? Some attend the face to face meetings, but not the online meetings. ICANN is not looking at these candidates very favourably. 2. Do ALAC members who attend the meetings actually contribute anything to the meetings? Some attend meetings but they don't say anything - what value do they give? Some log into teleconference meetings, but because they don't contribute anything, it is difficult to know whether they actually listening?) 3. Do ALAC members participate on working groups? We have lots of members who volunteer for a working group, and never turn up for meetings to do the work. Its the same people every time doing the work . There may be other questions you may want to ask. Please do... Very importantly, HOW can we more effectively evaluate performance - what do you use in your workplace? Let me know.. I'd love to hear from you. Maureen
