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.

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.
