Hello NARALOers (-ites), A comment was made on last Monday's call that the monthly reports do not reflect all the work the region does. This is something I am aggressively trying to correct! The reports are for everyone, it is how we inform the ICANN community about what we are doing and I invite you all to submit reports or edit the report page directly. Everyone in NARALO should have access to edit the report page, if not tell me or At-Large staff. The current year is located here: https://community.icann.org/display/NARALO/NARALO+Monthly+Reports+2014 Reports are posted monthly, you will note that there is an outline for the current month and no content. Scroll down to January to see how the previous month was filled-in. I have restructured the report format to reflect the format of our call agenda - this will help us track our goals and success of our efforts over time. There are four areas where you can add reports: * Meetings and Events Reports: If you have attended ANY Internet policy meetings in person or through teleconference (other than standard NARALO calls) enter it here. Provide a link to the event if possible. * Outreach Activities: Note any outreach/recruitment activities here or updates to activities. In general the status of these efforts will also be included here: https://community.icann.org/display/NARALO/NARALO+ALS+Outreach+and+Recruitme nt+Efforts, but be sure to highlight important actions you want everyone to be aware of. * Community Activities: This is work in your OWN area or ALS. If your ALS already publishes reports, just put the link in here. If the report location is the same month after month, just note that and I will keep copying the link in successive months. * Committee/Working Group Reports: This is chartered work within ICANN. Many of these groups require reporting. Are you a member or chair of a group? Put the link to their reports here or comment on notable events. To update the page use the "Edit" button at the top. Do your edits quickly as others may try to be editing too. Put your initials next to anything you have added and click "Save" at the bottom to close it. If you leave it open too long it will probably time out and disconnect you and you will lose any changes. If you need help with editing the Confluence Wiki pages contact me, Glenn or At-Large staff. You can also email me or Glenn any reports (brief paragraphs or links preferred!).
