Hi All 

We have tried to have better communication with Joe and Chris as to events they are doing and we also had a meeting with him in Morocco on NARALO issues. 

Perhaps we should be coaching this discussion in more broader terms vs only the regions strategic plans.  

One story. 
I spoke with David Vvorst at  Washington DC to be a speaker on multistakeholderism at one of his events and the answer was quite simple.  Sponsors have preference.  Funding to buy a seat at the table is an issue.

I'm not sure what you mean by me being wrong in this case. We cannot make them do something they decide not to do. But as I said and you are saying, we should discuss it with them with the potential for changing their minds.

HI All,

Yes Glenn and I have mentioned this several times and asked why we do not have a plan and the answer we have gotten is that Global Stakeholder Engagement doe snot think we need a plan.  I tend to disagree.  Allan's response on the call when it was brought up was that NARALO can not make GSE do something they are not interested in doing. I also disagree with that statement .  I think we should directly ask for a North American Strategy document how does GSE plan on increasing engagement in the Lower Income areas, in the vast student population, with disadvantaged communities, with Indigenous communities, with people with disabilities and special needs.  I would like to have that answer.

These are just some of the things I would like to see in a strategy

Best,

Judith

I was wondering the same thing. In fact, have you heard anything from the ICANN  NA VP ever?

Hi Folks

On today's  webinar on the CROPP program the various  RALO's mentioned that their regions have a  Strategic plan.  They also said that these plans are alligned with the their  regions  VP's  plans ie. LAC and AFrican,  Middle East  strategies.

We broached this with staff  asking why  North American has opted not to have a North American plan.   Staff to followup

Currently we have a CROPP outreach and engagement  strategy for  CROPP  and if  North America  chooses to have a plan we need to discuss this in detail.
