The point of having the nearest regions attend the meeting is to save on costs (cheaper airfares), and it also ensures that each RALO has one face-to-face General Assembly each year to set priorities, talk to the larger ICANN communities, etc. Of course there are many ways to do this; this is how the planning currently works. If each region were willing to give up its one chance to be assured of a face-to-face meeting, we could do as you describe. Perhaps they would be willing to do that; personally, I'm happy to take the lead of the regions on this matter. I would suggest, though, since the RALOS are so new, that the current arrangement in the early period will help for regions to have greater cohesion than otherwise - but that's just my opinion.

For the next coming FY, we have provided in the draft budget that 20 ALS delegates will get to attend each of the three ICANN Meetings. Once we get too big, then some internal agreement will need to be reached on how to pick those who go - there are many possible solutions but fortunately we don't need to "go there" yet. > >As to who chooses to go: each ALS chooses who their delegate is. > > yes, well that would make sense, just wondering about the money > > but, what it does mean in principle, is that you can only get funding > to attend ICANN through ALAC is you are a member of an ALS yes? > Or a candidate ALS at the time the invitations are issued. > this also sheds a bit of light on the suggestion from adam to add a > fund to the ICANN general grant - they are clearly for different > types of purpose - but, it makes me wonder about people who are > potentially interested in ALAC, and may not be able to find their way > in via an ALS.. maybe (in future, for discussion etc) there's scope > for the odd grant to cover these people.. > Perhaps so. > karen > > > karen > -- -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom UK Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011 USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 Win IM: ashtonhart(a)hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart(a)mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart

The consultant would not be connected to the World Bank, no. The consultant in question is whomever is chosen to conduct the ALAC Review. The budgeting of travel is based upon formulae which were created by other people presumably in Finance when the budget for FY07 was completed, also long before I became involved. As to what they mean, I would suggest that what they mean is that a budgeted amount was come up with related to community travel, and the number reflected in what I sent is the number which was budgeted at the time the budget was created.

Dear Karen: There is nothing official posted, but how it is working is like this: At each international meeting, at least one At-Large region is invited to send one delegate per At-Large Structure to a regional meeting at the ICANN Meeting. This is in addition to the members of the ALAC, who are also subsidised to attend each International Meeting. The region or regions to be invited is based upon where the international meeting is located. So, for San Juan, we have LAC and North America coming, for Lisbon it was Europe and Africa. For Asia it will be just the Asia/Australia/Pacific ALSes who will be attending I believe.

Automated Translation of emails sent to the LAC and African regional At-Large lists
by Nick Ashton-Hart May 11, 2007

May 11, 2007

Dear Community: As some of you know, we have been working to implement a machine translation of the regional discuss lists in Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean. This service is expected to go live later today. What will happen is that each email sent to the list will get machine translated from the original language into the other languages. The original text will appear at the top; the translated versions will appear below. For LAC-Discuss, the languages will be: English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese For AFRI-Discuss, the languages will be: English, French, Portuguese It may interest you to know that many other areas of ICANN are interested to see how this new service works, in order to decide whether or not they will also begin to machine-translate their lists in this way. At-Large is therefore taking a pioneering role once again within the ICANN system in trying new approaches to help foster understanding by non-native English speakers. You may see some test emails come across the lists today; this is normal, and you should feel free to email normally. In order for machine translation to produce output which is close to the original, there are some simple rules you can follow when composing your messages. A link at the bottom of the list emails will link to these rules, and they are reproduced below: -- We shall invite you to respect the following writing recommendations so as to make our translation job easier. OT = original text PT = preferred text 1. Check the spelling and grammar of the messages you send us. A spelling error will result in a mistranslation or the non-translation of a word. A grammatical error will make it more difficult for the program to identify the syntactic function of all words in a given sentence. Use your spellchecker! 2. The translation engine used to translate your messages is designed for texts that are correctly punctuated. Punctuation marks, such as commas and periods, help the program to identify sentences and clause boundaries. A period should therefore be placed at the end of each sentence. The symbols /, *, _ and - should not be contiguous with words. Add a space to separate them. For instance, change male/female to male / female. 3. Use upper and lower case. A sentence should always start with a capital letter; a sentence typed entirely in upper case may cause translation problems. 4. Divide lengthy and complex sentences into shorter sentences. In particular, avoid using parentheses and dashes to set phrases apart. 5. Whenever possible, avoid using passive structures, for example: OT: A copy of the report will be sent to all Allies. PT: We will send a copy of the report to all Allies. 6. Whenever possible, avoid idiomatic expressions: OT: It happens once in a blue moon. PT: It rarely happens. 7. Include optional words that clarify the function of other words in the sentence, such as "that" or "whom" in the examples below: OT: The book I bought was very interesting. PT: The book that I bought was very interesting. OT: The man I wanted to see was on vacation. PT: The man whom I wanted to see was on vacation. 8. Similarly, if the subject of a sentence refers to more than one verb and is separated from the second/third verb by a number of words, you should repeat the subject in front of each verb, like this: OT: They visited our warehouse yesterday and bought several products. PT: They visited our warehouse yesterday and they bought several products. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom Main Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011] USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 email: nick.ashton-hart(a)icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart(a)hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart(a)mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart
