Call for At-Large Project Submissions to include in ICANN's Fiscal Year 2013 Operational Plan and Budget
by ICANN At-Large Staff Jan. 7, 2012

Jan. 7, 2012

Dear All, ICANN is developing an Operational Plan and Budget for Fiscal Year 2013 to accomplish the goals and priorities of ICANN's Strategic Plan for 2012-2015 (draft version at http://www.icann.org/en/strategic-plan/draft-strategic-plan-2012-2015-clean- 03oct11-en.pdf ). In preparation for this, ICANN's Finance Team has asked the ALAC to submit project requests to be budgeted in ICANN's Draft Operational Plan and Budget for Fiscal Year 2013 by 20 January 2012, giving consideration to the number of requests and to the priority of the requests. In turn, ALAC's Finance and Budget Sub-Committee (FBSC; https://community.icann.org/x/n4XT ) has requested that RALOs submit their FY13 project requests for consideration by the committee by 10 January 2012. The Sub-committee would appreciate that each RALO indicate its top three projects, should more than three be submitted. As requested by ICANN's Finance Team, all FY13 project suggestions must use a template which can be found on the At-Large Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Development Workspace at https://community.icann.org/x/yofbAQ . The form asks RALOs to describe in detail the actual scope of the activity being proposed, how it relates to the current Strategic Plan, and how the funds are to be implemented. RALOs may wish to review last year's ALAC's FY12 Budget proposals at https://community.icann.org/x/IASB. ALAC's FBSC will be reviewing the RALO submissions in an attempt to prioritize requests for submission to ICANN Finance in time by 20 January 2012. It is important to note that ONLY projects showing positive impact to ICANN's Strategic Plan 2012-2015 or to ICANN Policy Development will likely be approved. Also, please note that all project submissions sent by the ALAC will be included in ICANN's 2013 Draft Operational Plan and Budget and published for public comment. FY13 Budget requests may be either posted directly on the At-Large Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Development Workspace or sent to At-Large staff at: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org Kind regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Matt Ashtiani, Gisella Gruber, and Nathalie Peregrine ICANN At-Large Staff E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org

EURALO 2012 planning – events and outreach opportunities?
by Wolf Ludwig Dec. 21, 2011

Dec. 21, 2011

Dear all, at our yesterday’s monthly call we focused on and discussed (7.) Wrap-up EURALO activities 2011 -- highlights/achievements and shortcomings as well as (8.) EURALO planning 2012 -- first ideas and proposals. As a first planning framework we noted in our December Monthly Report: “EURALO will start its planning for 2012 immediately after the seasonal break: preparations for EuroDIG 2012 (Stockholm), Safer Internet Day Leipzig (February), IGF open consultations Geneva (February and May), next ICANN-Studienkreis meeting (place and date TBC), and as a next presumable highlight, the June 44 ICANN meeting in Prague where we will probably convene our next GA and organize a EURALO Showcase. Most likely EURALO will be present at the 7th IGF in Baku / Azerbaijan again.“ – See: https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Secretariat+Monthly+Repor… Further events in 2012 were mentioned by call participants like: *Wikimedia Chapters Conference in March in Berlin (Manuel), *re:publica 12, 2 – 4 May in Berlin (Annette) http://re-publica.de/12/ And we would like to know about any other IG or net-related events – you already know about – for our 2012 planning (and being posted on our Workspace). Please forward your inputs to this list. Let me take this opportunity to wish you all some joyful – calm – relaxing (or whatsoever ;-) sessional holidays and a splendid slide into the New Year. Next year we will count on you for more … Thanks for all your support and kind regards, Wolf EuroDIG Secretariat http://www.eurodig.org/ mobile +41 79 204 83 87 Skype: Wolf-Ludwig EURALO - ICANN's Regional At-Large Organisation http://euralo.org Profile on LinkedIn http://ch.linkedin.com/in/wolfludwig

Missing minutes of EURALO meetings / conference calls
by Rudi Vansnick Dec. 11, 2011

Dec. 11, 2011

Dear all, Dear Wolf, I've been traveling a lot last couple of months which made it difficult to participate in conference calls. And as such, being able to follow-up afterwards through the minutes of the meetings is important for further collaboration within our structure and in ALAC working groups. While looking at the website https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/Meetings+and+Events I can not find any minutes after June 2011, it is almost impossible to know what has been discussed and decided if we do not have minutes. Transparency of actions and decisions seems to me an important issue, as we also argue on others not being transparent. Chat transcripts are OK but do not reflect the content of verbal discussions.
