I was briefed more like a long discussion really. I fully support the idea of the Summit because it is clear we have common challenges in messaging ICANN activities to the general user community. While there are real cultural differences that could impact how we do it regionally, I believe some ideas/initiatives are ready for global adoption. But we need to know what they are and the Summit will help to do this. I even used the story I heard from Sheryl in PR of how Australian ALS went about messaging IPv6 adoption to the general user community. When the idea was broached on the LACRALO list, we had 2 responses, both supportive. [Please do not read the low response rate as rejection! This is one of the cultural differences I speak about.] Carlton LACRALO Secretariat ________________________________________ From: secretariat-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:secretariat-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] On Behalf Of Thompson, Darlene Sent: Monday, October 29, 2007 6:00 PM To: jam@jacquelinemorris.com; Izumi AIZU; At-Large Global List; secretariat@atlarge-lists.icann.org Cc: Danny Younger Subject: Re: [Secretariat] [At-Large] <IMPORTANT> Draft Plan for Tuesday'sAtLargecommunitymeeting with ICANN Board Further to my last e-mail: by whom were you briefed?

Speaking as the Secretariat of the NARALO, the Secretariats have already discussed this in a previous conference call and on list and we are all in agreement that the Summit is something we should pursue just as long as it doesn't conflict with anybody being able to make it to their own regional meeting (Raj). Why are you trying to prohibit discussion on this? This is our only opportunity to bring this up to the board? I truly hope to see an answer on this. Darlene NARALO Secretariat PS. I find it very interesting that everything was working incredibly smoothly with everybody collaborating yesterday and now, suddenly, for some reason, there is all of the debate. What would have caused this? ________________________________ From: alac-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org on behalf of jam@jacquelinemorris.com Sent: Mon 10/29/2007 3:55 PM To: Izumi AIZU; At-Large Global List; secretariat@atlarge-lists.icann.org Cc: Danny Younger Subject: Re: [At-Large] <IMPORTANT> Draft Plan for Tuesday's AtLargecommunitymeeting with ICANN Board Continuing my comments Should include als and ralo specialists on issues. 2. gNSO improvement - Alan 3.
