Review of the Action Items EN S Salinas Porto asked staff about the current status of the ALS questionnaire. The Staff noted that a list was sent to the participants of the last LACRALO meeting with all ALSes, which have not sent their summit questionnaire responses until October 16th. It was requested that an update of this list be produced. Review of current status of ALS applications The staff noted that three new ALS applications from the LAC region were received: Internauta Venezuela, Asociación Judicial Bonarense (Argentina) and AUI Peru. Interpretation and translation It was noted that the quality of the automated list translation was not satisfying. The Staff added that there would increasingly be more Spanish documents available on the At-Large website. J Ovidio Salgueiro said that the regional ALAC members made a considerable effort during the Cairo meeting to highlight the importance of having more translated documents. Jose further noted that C Aguirre drafted a report on regional ALS participation that would soon be published. Summit Update S Salinas Porto asked the Staff about the Budget situation for the Summit. The Staff responded that the Budget was not yet finalized and noted that the Summit Working Group would meet later this week to finalise the logistics plan. Once it is final, the logistics plan will allow the staff to narrow down the actual numbers that will can be presented to the ICANN Board of Directors. Next Meeting The next LACRALO Teleconference will be on December 4th at 1300 UTC. The Staff will help to draft an agenda for this meeting and send an invitation to all the LACRALO ALS representatives. The meeting was then concluded.

some reasons for lack of participation
by Scott S Robinson Nov. 11, 2008

Nov. 11, 2008

Estimados colegas, Jacqueline's comment and call for more participation provokes me to reflect on some reasons for our list passivity and lack of substantive discussion. El comentario de Jacquelina referente a la ausencia de una participación activa y sustantiva en esta lista me provoca algunas reflexiones sobre las posibles causas de esta situación. Methinks it boils down to a power divide, if you will, between national level Ministry, commericial ISPs or even NAP senior staff or tech executives whose skills and understanding of the complex ICANN-related issues have evolved over the past 15 plus years, AND those few of us in the budding RALO network who come from the IT activist communities in our diverse set of countries. Pienso que vivimos una brecha del poder, si me permiten, entre los colegas hoy día funcionarios de jerarquía en Ministerios, ISPs comerciales, hasta NAPs, cuyo oficio o amplia experiencia es fruto de 15 años administrando redes, Y LOS DEMÁS, que somos pocos, quienes procedemos de ONGs y un activismo a favor de la inclusión digital. And in most of our countries, IT-related public policies were NOT THE RESULT OF BOTTOM UP, amply discussed initiatives, such as national telecenter programs with non proprietary tools, but rather sweetheart contracts between public officials and the mega consortia bent on expanding market share, reinforcing branding and general profiting from the digital divide narrative. Our respective lower cost more community anchored initiatives (with vanguard IT tools and open source software) were largely ignored while small mom and pop cybercafés filled village and town squares offering few incentives for the brilliant young women and men denied higher educations for diverse reasons. Our vision of digital inclusion was largely unacceptable to national elites nervous about an well-informed public demanding services and accountability. En la mayoría de nuestros países, las políticas públicas relacionadas con TICs NO FUERON producto de consultas públicas o la apropiación de pilotos e herramientas de vanguardia, sino el producto de contratos frutos de un capitalismo de compadres donde los consorcios conocidos ampliaron sus mercados, reforzaron sus marcas y logos, y lucraron con la narrativa de la dichosa "brecha digital". Nuestra propuestas más baratas, con tecnologías de punta y software de código abierto, fueron ignoradas mientras las plazas se llenaron de cibercafés, micronegocios sin subsidios, que ofrecen pocos incentivos para las y los jóvenes brillantes, frustrados ante las pocas opciones para seguir estudiando. Nuestras propuestas no cuajaron, fueron inaceptables para las respectivas elites nacionales nerviosos ante la posibilidad de un pueblo bien informado y exigente de cuentas claras. Thus, it should not surprise us that our list and RALO reflects the polarity of this decision making process in most if not all of our countries. I suggest the more technically proficient have a responsibility to parse the social, user freedom and intellectual property implications of the several ICANN reforms... Entonces, no debe de sorprendernos que nuestra lista y RALO es un fiel reflejo de la actual polaridad en el actual proceso de la toma de decisiones hoy en casi todo sino todos nuestros países. Sugiero que los participantes con mayor oficio técnico comparten una responsabilidad para desglosar las implicaciones sociales, derechos de los usuarios y de propiedad intelectual inherentes a las muchas reformas presentadas al ICANN.

Fwd: [Summit-wg] Updated Summit Questionnaire Results
by Carlton Samuels Nov. 7, 2008

Nov. 7, 2008

Dear Colleagues: Please follow the link to see the analysis of the response to the Summit Questionnaire that was executed in the summertime. In addition to looking closely at the results from LACRALO, I encourage you to also examine the global results. There are different expectations from all over for the ALS Summit, an event that will bring together all AT-Large for the first time. This analysis is intended to help drive the agenda at the Summit which takes place in Mexico City in March 2009. It also allows us to prepare LACRALO interests and to manage our expectations. I congratulate Nick and Matthias for this piece of work. Best, Carlton ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> Date: Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 6:51 AM Subject: [Summit-wg] Updated Summit Questionnaire Results To: "summit-wg(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org" <summit-wg(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Dear all, The updated summit questionnaire results have been posted online under: https://st.icann.org/summit-wg/index.cgi?summit_questionnaire_results These are the main changes with respect to the version published on 1 November: * all the 81 ALS answers we received have been incorporated * you now find a regional breakdown of the results which allows you to compare your region with others * additionally to the average sum of preferences, we also added a position table at the bottom of the spreadsheet, which allows you to compare the number of times an answer was the first choice of the respondents. This method can lead to different results and may be of use to the preparations of the summit. Thanks to Didier Kasolé for pointing this out to us and for providing us with the formula. All received answers were included in the document. In case we received an answer from somebody in his or her personal capacity or if the ALS has not yet been officially accredited, the answers are highlighted in light blue.
