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

[Garth Graham]

This morning I learned that ALAC has received an ALS application from Open Media <https://openmedia.ca/operate> signed by Reilly Yeo, Managing Director.  That triggers a process of due diligence by ICANN staff and an acceptance procedure. Once in, they'll be a member of NARALO.  Given Open Media's broad base of support and crowd sourcing skills, it would appear as if NARALO is heading towards having significant capacity to act as a node in an active network of public interest/ public trust organizations concerned about issues of Internet use and governance.

re: outreach -- I recently heard (through the newly forming ISOC-Canada) that Alberta is about to be delisted as an ALAC community.  The group that registered hasn't been active for years.  I put James in touch with Glenn McKnight re: starting up an Alberta group that would be active.  You (Garth) may also want to be part of that discussion.

At the moment there is Communautique, NS CAP program, PCNA, Alberta Community Network Association (defunct I think), N-CAP, ISOC-Canada, Canadian Association for Open Source, ISOC-Quebec, Privaterra and of course TC (did I miss any Garth?).  Darlene (N-CAP) and Monique  (Communautique) and now Garth (TC) are very active.  ISOC-Canada also intends to be a strong voice. I don't know who is active beyond that for the Canadian side.
