That is, work with an inclusive character, start Indexes with more low passes and I aslo did. With this Plan incorporla current ALS Haiti, the country with the lowest index in our region. And also ISOC Dominican Republic. The Strategic Plan of LACRALO generated by the Outreach and Engagement SC, siguiel not normally trmite of any plan to be approved by consensus.

At some point you asignarviajes by continuing with this program CROPP implementacin. This procedure is incorrect, it is to be treated within our region.ALS first, then approved by LACRALO, then CROPP the Commission of the GSE program and then. The fact that several members of LACRALO subcomittenga; and either You can enroll at any time, it does not provide authority for the implementacin execution of the program, which must be made within LACRALO.

ANNOUCEMENT - FY 16 At-Large Captioning Pilot Project to start in JAN 2016!
by ICANN At-Large Staff Jan. 5, 2016

Jan. 5, 2016

Dear All, On behalf of Judith Hellerstein, At-Large Captioning Pilot Project group lead and NARALO's Secretary, we are pleased to announce that the FY 16 At-Large Captioning Pilot Project<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+FY16+Special+Budget+Re…> will start in January 2016. The captioning will be provided by "Caption First Incorporated". As agreed to by the At-Large Captioning Pilot Project group, the implementation of this project will be structured as follows: * Three calls to include captioning each month for a total of 9 teleconferences, not exceeding 60 minutes per call (with the exception of the ALAC Monthly Meeting) * The calls shall be held between January - April 2016. * During the first pilot phase of this captioning project the language used will be English. * In order to select the calls the captioning team has developed a set of criteria to evaluate and rate the requests. The request for captioning must meet at least one of these criteria to be put on the list. Criteria for Captioning: 1) Are there persons with disabilities or with limited bandwidth participating? 2) Are there webinars of general interest to the ICANN community that would increase the engagement of non-native English speakers? 3) Are the meetings or discussions about accessible tools or software? If you would like to have a teleconference captioned during this pilot phase please submit your request to At-Large Staff<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> by January 15th. * The At-Large Captioning Pilot Project group, in collaboration with At-Large Staff, will select the calls that will have captioning based on the criteria noted above. * A short poll will be made at the end of each call where captioning is used to ask for feedback on the captioning program during that call. See further details Wiki: At-Large Captioning Pilot Project<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Captioning+Pilot+Proje…>. Thank you for your support in the planning and implementation of this exciting project. Kind regards Judith Hellerstein At-Large Captioning Pilot Project group lead and NARALO Secretary Thank you!

Fwd: Final Report Recommendations of the Geographic Regions Review Working Group
by Carlton Samuels Dec. 24, 2015

Dec. 24, 2015

[image: ICANN] <http://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-3-2015-12-23-en ------------------------------ Final Report Recommendations of the Geographic Regions Review Working Group 23 December 2015 *Forum Announcement:* Public Comment Period opens on *Date:* 23 December 2015 *Categories/Tags:* Reviews/Improvements *Purpose (Brief):* The cross-community Geographic Regions Review Working Group has produced its Final Report in which it proposes a series of recommendations regarding the ongoing application of the organization’s geographic regions framework. The ICANN Board is interested in further community reaction to those recommendations and has instructed the Staff to open and manage a public comment period of at least 120 days to give the community an opportunity to thoroughly review the proposals and provide any additional comments on the working group recommendations. The Working Group’s Final Report provides an extensive series of conclusions, proposals and recommendations including: 1. The Working Group concludes that the general principle of geographic diversity is valuable and should be preserved. 2. Application of the geographic diversity principles must be more rigorous, clear and consistent. 3. Adjusting the number of ICANN geographic regions is not currently practical. 4. No other International Regional Structures offer useful options for ICANN. 5. ICANN must formally adopt and maintain its own unique Geographic Regions Framework. 6. The Community wants to minimize any changes to the current structure. 7. ICANN must acknowledge the sovereignty and right of self-determination of states to let them choose their region of allocation. 8. ICANN communities have flexibly applied geographic diversity principles over the years. While the Board should remain strictly subject to the current framework, flexibility should be preserved for other structures. 9. “Special Interest Groups” or “Cross-Regional Sub-Groups” offer new diversity opportunities. 10. Implementation mechanisms and processes must be developed by Staff; and 11. The Board must preserve its oversight and future review opportunities. The extensive comment period will give individuals and community groups an opportunity to thoroughly review the proposals and provide any additional comments on the working group recommendations. *Public Comment Box Link:* https://www.icann.org/public-comments/geo-regions-2015-12-23-en

Dear Wanda and Juan, ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that ISOC RD has been certified as an At-Large Structure (ALS). The ALAC greatly appreciates your group's interest in involving individual users in LACRALO and ICANN and looks forward to working with you and your colleagues.
