[Advisors] At-Large Summit London (ATLAS) Preparation

[Garth Graham]

As part of preparations for the ATLAS II Summit of ALAC in London this coming June, the Chair of the NARALO, Garth Bruen, has been asking ASLs including TC for certain elements of participation.  Some of the requests, I can respond to directly, but the two below call out for fuller TC consideration.

Re (a) the call for identification of a critical issue, I've given this some thought.  What I came up with, and have sent to Bruen identified as a "personal" reflection of where TC sits re Internet Governance is attached below.  Since this is a kind of brainstorming, I don't think we need a formal TC response.  But if anyone has any comments or additional issues, I'll contribute them to the mix.

Re (b) Outreach and recruitment.  Given TC's "regional/national" perspective, are any of you aware of any organizations engaged in Internet use and governance issues that would have the capacity for effective engagement within the ALAC community (and that aren't currently there) that we could recommend?

> The June ICANN meeting in London will come soon and we have much work to do. To get things moving along we are going to have to assign At-Large Summit attendees to some tasks and get some things done. ...In terms of preparing for the London Summit this June, for which our membership receives travel sponsorship, there are ….. things I need your help with:
> 
> (a).I ask you to come up with an issue which is critical to your ALS or something you want discussed and addressed.  Tell me what your major concern is. I want to promote your agenda or address your concerns. I want to make sure all of you get the most out of At-Large participation and make use of being at the ICANN meeting.  We need to use the London meeting as a platform to feature NARALO's individual members through real work with real results. I want every ALS representative to bring a problem or a recommended solution to the London meeting. Let's highlight what you are concerned about.  Give at least one issue and I will find a way to put in the agenda. 

> (b). Assisting with Outreach: Recruitment has become an important part of NARALO activities. Somebody recruited me, and somebody recruited you. We need to continue this cycle by finding more potential ALSes in our own communities. There are many groups out there that can benefit from being part of At-Large and we can benefit from the needed help they can provide. Submit a suggestion for our NARALO recruitment efforts to Murray McKercher at murray_mckercher at yahoo.com. See
