Re: [NA-Discuss] Prague - Regional Secretariats meeting Agenda- Kindly review
I have a couple of questions/observations -- my apologies for not attending the conference call and making them there. 1. What is the status of the NARALO budget request for the Toronto meeting? As chairman of the region, I would like to be made aware of this (apologies if I have missed the note) before I agree to discuss the possibility of spending $90K on an IGF meeting in Azerbaijan. As of today, I am told NARALO has been directed to approach CIRA for a $1,000 handout to hold a small outreach event in Toronto. That leads me to believe that the NARALO budget request for Toronto has been denied. Is this the case? In my opinion, the at-large community should be funding outreach at its own events, or planning another at-large summit, rather than spending a sizable amount of money attending a meeting among a group that have been, traditionally, somewhat hostile to the at-large. Could the interested participants be compelled to write papers to be presented at the IGF on major, serious policy issues affecting end-users, such as the URS problem, WHOIS, questions raised by the execution of the new gTLD program or some other such topic? Are there going to be performance metrics attached? What kinds of outreach will be done in Azerbaijan? What audiences will we be attempting to reach at IGF that are not already integrally woven into the ICANN community? Is there any grant-funding available? Indeed, I understand we are talking about two different budget cycles. But I don't see how we can justify spending $90K for APRALO and AFRALO to attend an IGF meeting with other more convenient opportunities for outreach going unfunded. 2. Again, the non-performing ALS topic leads the agenda. Why? Can the remaining issues on this topic be solved by an internal, small group? Why do we have to spend valuable time in Prague discussing this topic again? -----Original Message----- From: Silvia Vivanco Sent: May 23, 2012 12:26 PM To: "beaubrendler@earthlink.net" , "Thompson, Darlene" , Wolf Ludwig , "Oksana Prykhodko (sana.pryhod@gmail.com)" , "Charles Mok (gmail)" , Pavan Budhrani , Fouad Bajwa , Holly Raiche , "sylvia@internautabrasil.org" , José Francisco Arce , "Fatimata Seye Sylla (fsylla@gmail.com)" , Tijani BEN JEMAA Cc: ICANN At-Large Staff Subject: RE: Prague - Regional Secretariats meeting Agenda- Kindly review Dear RALO Secretariats, We would like to know if you would like to add the following item to the Agenda: - 1) Planning of the IGF July Azerbaijan meeting.

Hi, Beau Page 72 of ICANN's FY13 proposed Operating Plan and Budget at http://www.icann.org/en/about/financials/proposed-opplan-budget-v1-fy13-01ma... and the listing of SO/AC community requests at http://www.icann.org/en/about/planning/ops-budget/community-requests-07mar12... , shows that for the NARALO Toronto Event Budget Request (FY13-015) of $25,000, ICANN responded Yes to this request. Re: the $90,000 figure you've cited for APRALO and AFRALO Budget Requests for IGF 2012 workshops at Baku (FY2013-002, FY2013-005), this figure includes EURALO's Budget Request for GA during the June 2013 EuroDIG meeting (FY2013-031) and SSAC's Budget Request for workshop at IGF (FY2013-022) However, I do note a discrepancy regarding the dollar amount allocated as per note#6 and the individual budget requests granted under note#6. The requests which fall under note#6 that were approved by ICANN are FY13-001 - $105,000 - Workshop and APRALO Mini-General Assembly at Regional Internet Governance Forums FY13-015 - $25,000 - NARALO Toronto Event FY13-023 - $24,000 - BC Leadership Development from Developing Countries (enhancing business leaders) FY13-018 - tbd - SSAC Meetings at IETF Meetings FY13-004 - $0 - AFRALO Virtual Capacity building sessions for AFRALO ALS Adding these requests results in $154,000. However, the amount allocated to note#6 is $116,000 and the text for note#6 states "ICANN recognizes the need for capacity building for the SO/AC, to that effect ICANN will provide $100,000 of funds to support various face to face meetings and workshops". Perhaps further clarification from ICANN Finance is needed. Re: topic of "non-quorate ALSes", Tijani did send a draft following the discussions in CR. His proposal outlined the framework which incorporated concepts from the EURALO, AFRALO, LACRALO proposals, but leaving the specific number up to the RALO to set. While the original intent was for consensus amongst RALOs to agree on common parameters, the discussions in Dakar and CR have shown this to be more difficult than expected. Perhaps, given that this issue is under the remit of the At-Large Metrics WG (https://community.icann.org/x/HJfbAQ) created at the ICANN meeting in CR, the issue can be discussed there instead of the regional secretariat's meeting.
