LACTLD meeting in Port of Spain, Trinidad - October 14-16, 2009. Erick can send more info. Jacqueline Carlton Samuels wrote:
Regional IGF was 2 week ago in Rio de Janiero, Brazil. I believe Jacqueline Morris attended.
Not sure what you mean by TLD meeting but LACTLD [http://lactld.org] is a community of ccTLD operators that you can follow. Erick Iriarte Ahon is the fellow in charge over there and he's made overtures to the Caribbean; the CARICOM Secretariat has sought my blessings on that contact. If my memory serves, they are planning a technical meeting in Chile later this year.
The Caribbean Internet Governance Forum (CIFG) under the auspices of the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU) begins its annual meeting today thru Friday, 8/28 in St. Kitts. I'm en-route as we speak. Adam Peake - ALAC NomCom member - is appearing on one of the panels and I expect Shernon Osepa, the ICANN Regional Liaison to be in attendance as well.
Courtney Jackson - formerly of the Jamaican Telecommunications regulatory agency OUR and a colleague from our days as staff Bell System Operating companies - and I were foundation conveners of the Caribbean Internet Forum (CIF) and for several years we held joint CIF/CIFG conferences. The CIF has now formed an alliance with the Telecommunications Regulatory Policy Unit based in the Mona School of Business at The University of the West Indies at Mona and severed its collaboration with the CTU. Courtney Jackson remains the primary contact.
The Government of Jamaica thru the Ministry of Energy and Telecommunications is fully informed of At-Large activities in Jamaica and have collaborated on fact distribution at internal meetings where I've presented and so on. In fact, I encouraged a senior Jamaican government official to successfully apply for a Fellowship to attend the Sydney ICANN meeting. She has since left the government service and now works as Project Manager for a multilateral-supported eGovernance project in the Eastern Caribbean. We have done the same for both the .jm and the .gy administrators for ICANN meetings. One attended the Cairo meeting and the other, Mexico City.

Does anyone have information on upcoming meetings in the LACRALO region in the following categories: 1) Regional IGF Preparatory Meetings 2) TLD meetings 3) Other meetings - national Internet related meetings and 4) Other Internet meetings where At-Large members are attending
Also, have you as an ALS, ever submitted information to governments with information about ICANN included. If so, can you provide details?
This information is needed required for ALAC call with new ICANN CEO Rod Beckstrom taking place on 25 August 2009.
