Capacity Building Working Group Report
by Thompson, Darlene Sept. 15, 2013

Sept. 15, 2013

Hi all, We’ve just finished a Capacity Building Working Group conference call and here is what we discussed. Please feel free to comment. Survey It was discussed as to whether the Capacity Building (CB) survey should go out separately from the ATLASII survey since the CB survey is rather long. However, both surveys are urgent. Some felt (as I did) that this would be confusing to the ALSs – being hit with two surveys almost simultaneously – and that the response rate would suffer. It was decided that the CB survey be shortened and then combined with the ATLASII survey in order to prevent this. This should be finalized by the end of next week. It will be mandatory for each ALS that wishes to go to the Summit to complete this survey. Capacity Building for the Summit We need to provide periodic learning modules to the ALSs in preparation for the Summit and also to respond to specific needs for specific programs/needs. We still must decide on the frequency of the modules coming out. We will use all tools available for CB (mailing lists, webinars, etc.). We will be defining these needs and defining the programs to address the needs. We will then give these to the ICANN Academy should they wish to use them. This will avoid duplication in work and be more efficient. Teamwork It was felt that we need to ensure that the CBWG work very closely with both the ATLASII WG and the Secretariats Group. We need the efforts of all three groups working together for the Summit to be successful so that the ALSs will be ready for the Summit. The Secretariat group needs to be on board to encourage their ALSs to respond to the survey. We also need to define a deadline for the survey and ensure that it is in line with the deadline for the ATLASII survey.

Finance and Budget Committee Conference Call Report
by Thompson, Darlene Sept. 11, 2013

Sept. 11, 2013

Hi all, I was just on the Finance and Budget Committee conference call. Rob Hoggarth, Senior Director, Policy Development Support, ICANN and Janice Douma Lange, Outreach/Engagement Manager were leading the call. The call mainly addressed the requests made by the regions for the Fast Track for this fiscal. Basically, the request from Garth Bruen for funding for outreach efforts (https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/38045783/18-NARALO+FY14+Bu…) was denied. However, they used two overarching themes when looking at all requests, which are: - Outreach should be handled by ICANN staff with consultation with the region - Grants – to be coordinated and managed by staff and not by the community There was also an announcement of a new Regional Outreach Pilot Project. There will be regional funding for resources for outreach however there still needs to be a conversation about implementation. The actual announcement with details about this program be made in the next couple of weeks. There is also a reluctance from ICANN to start supporting "new" travel - which would be travel to other events in order to promote the region. There also needs to be more guidelines for requests and more work with staff to hone them better. Staff will be working on this. The idea is to build programs that all groups can benefit from while also doing regional strategies to address specific needs. They’ll never have the budget to accept every request but if all work together, most can be covered. One problem that affected us this fiscal was that the strategic plan did not come out in time so it was very difficult to put in requests that were in line with it. Requests had to be based on the previous strategic plan. Sylvia raised the point that better communication needs to happen between staff and the regions so that this doesn’t happen in the future and they will be working on this. So, although our request was denied (which is disappointing to say the least) ICANN is attempting to address our requests by improving the system over-all. D Darlene A.

Revised Operating Procedures
by Alan Greenberg Sept. 1, 2013

Sept. 1, 2013

Attached please find the revised NARALO Operating Principle. They are identical to the version discussed on the NARALO call on Monday, August 12, 2013 with two changes: Spanish added with the "as appropriate", as decided during the meeting, and paragraph 21 replaced with text that no longer makes reference to the MOU. 4. The NARALO will be multilingual from its inception. Public documents will be produced in English, French and Spanish as appropriate. 21. Where these Operating Principles may conflict with the other documents governing NARALO operating rules, procedures and practices, these Operating Principles shall prevail. I suggest that the following motion: >Whereas the NARALO Operating Principles have not been updated since 2010; > >Whereas a revision to these Operating Principles will result in more >clarity and address a number of operation difficulties; > >Resolved, NARALO adopts the revised Operating Principles dated >2013-08-20 located at >https://community.icann.org/display/NARALO/NARALO+ROP+Review++2013. Since I have no vote in this poll, I would suggest that the motion be made and seconded by two official ALS reps, and that a vote be initiated as soon as possible. I have consulted with Darlene, and she believes that a 7 day vote should be sufficient to achieve the 70% of ALSs needed for approval. Alan
