Dear All,

I've read the comments and I've come up with a proposal to have a multi-day workshop during the LACIGF conference on new gTLDs

The intention is to have sessions throughout the 3 day LACIGF conference about the new gTLD program and its implications and a fourth day immediately after the conference for LACRALO ALS reps to meet F2F to discuss strategies to better collaborate within LACRALO to better contribute to ICANN policy discussions.

I've done a draft proposal at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yKwnGdn37E_xVPOgDlS_zM2xsPslXgTfb3vupgoG... using the prescribed form as required by ICANN Finance. Since the deadline IS today, immediate thoughts/comments appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Dev Anand Teelucksingh LACRALO Secretariat

Hello Dev and other team members, Sorry for the late reply on this, but as you may know ISOC Trinidad and Tobago Chapter is hosting a series of seminars this week with Sebastien Bachollet as our guest speaker talking about ICANN, gTLDs, online protection of children and online privacy. Dev, really thank you for picking up the reigns on this your contribution is very important and valued. Just one observation that in the past ICANN finance staff has suggested that in defining a multi year strategy (as we did last year), as long as the budget is approved for the previous year this means there is a greatly increased chance of getting funding in the other years. But, there are some significant changes to your agenda than what was proposed and accepted as our multi year plan. Please see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?authkey=CISn_MwJ&key=0Agb5mu5Ukb2vdG.... I agree that gTLDs are an important topic, and certainly ICANN will be diverting some funds and have their own mechanism for promoting the program. Also Idid not hear anything from the group that we should divert from the multi year plan submitted and accepted (in part) last year. Look forward to your thoughts. Warm regards and hope to share the video of ISOCTT's presentation very soon! Cintra Sooknanan On Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 7:43 PM, Dev Anand Teelucksingh <devtee@gmail.com>wrote:
