Frankly, this IS disturbing. At the San Juan meeting, the NARALO was specifically told that if we did not come up with a plan of what we wanted to do this year, then ICANN would have make one up of their own devising. So, to that end, we all met upstairs and came up with a plan:
https://st.icann.org/naralo/index.cgi?planning_next_steps_for_na_ralo
This plan, along with the budget attached, was discussed more than once over the list and forwarded widely. Staff was also informed that it was up and that they should look at it (since this Wiki seems to be the ICANN choice for information sharing).
And then nothing happened.
So, if they aren’t approving the outreach that we wanted to do in LA, my question is: so what wild and wonderful thing DID they come up with for our region for this year since we have been told NO to almost anything we have wanted to do?
Sorry, just my brain dump for the morning.

First, I'm not surprised
but I am disturbed that ICANN failed to host a NARALO meeting.
Anyway, I presume we'll try to be brief yet functional on these matters.
I think when you announce the idea, you should solicit input on what the ALSs
want to get out of the summit. One session on opening day would be good,
and one more later in the week, possibly 3 brief meetings would be better than
one.
aloha,

My suggestion is for at least three things:
1) Specific inclusion of a Summit status report and discussion on the
ALAC meeting agenda (whenever that takes place)
2) A public meeting to introduce the concept to all ICANN constituencies
(early in the week)
3) at least eight hours of planning, of which at least one has Nick (or
someone else from ICANN staff) present. Some of this will probably be a
small enough group that it can meet in a hotel room rather than
requiring the expense of a formal meeting room.
