<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi to all:<br><br></div>Excellent points have been made by all. Going back to my first contact with ICANN as a face-to-face participant I would like to share my experience.<br><ul><li>I was impressed with the warm greeting by all individuals with which I talked. <br></li><li>The passion with which everyone talked about ICANN and the work they were involved in.</li><li>The huge number of sessions going on made it somewhat difficult to focus on a series of sessions I was interested in.</li><li>I had a great mentor - Eduardo Díaz, who answered all my questions as I left every session. <br></li><li>The great number of acronyms made it difficult to follow some discussions, therefore discouraging me from following the session.</li></ul><p>However, I believe that with my background, representing a particular academic sector of society, I could contribute to enhancing ICANN's mission. It's been three years, by ICANN 60. For ICANN 60 I applied for a fellowship and will have the opportunity to interact with many groups and learn more details on how I can get involved in ICANN.<br></p><p>Having said that, I guess my biggest concern is that those of us that are professionals, still working full-time with many responsibilities, but eager to get involved in some Internet-related issues, or even, learn more: ICANN does not make it easy for some.</p><p>Multimedia materials, short visual descriptions of each component of ICANN, 3-minute video clips explaining what each Working Group, Committee or Organization within ICANN does would be helpful. It is sometimes difficult to find things in ICANN's World because "we the people - civil society" sometimes have to "guess" what and where topics of interest are defined or categorized. Once you get involved to develop some skills on "how and where" to look for the information desired.</p><p>Some tools that could help are:</p><ul><li><a href="http://www.sparkol.com/" target="_blank">http://www.sparkol.com/</a></li><li><span class="gmail-m_4679197248649477102gmail-"><a href="https://www.doodly.com/" target="_blank">https://www.doodly.com/</a></span></li><li><span class="gmail-m_4679197248649477102gmail-"><a href="https://plotagon.com/" target="_blank">https://plotagon.com/</a></span></li></ul><p>I recently completed the ccNSO course at - <a href="http://learn.icann.org/p/ccnso-onboarding">http://learn.icann.org/p/ccnso-onboarding</a> and found it very helpful. However, it has some images that are overwhelming with information and no way to drill into the details. That would be helpful! <br></p><p>I agree with all that the resources are great, are in various languages, but something is missing! How can we get ICANN's work accessible to more individuals in a way that they can say "Aha!, this is how I can get involved in ICANN and better serve by community from within this global organization."</p><p>Just my 2cents!<br></p><p>Hope to see you all in ICANN 60 and ICANN 61 in Puerto Rico!</p><p> <br></p><div><div><div id="gmail-WISESTAMP_SIG_24aebe1bd9e999574dee926d3799e838" href="http://WISESTAMP_SIG_24aebe1bd9e999574dee926d3799e838"><div><div style="max-width:600px;direction:ltr" class="gmail-main_html gmail-date__2017_08_21___10_55"> <div class="gmail-html gmail-wisestamp_app gmail-main_sig" id="gmail-tp1s" style="max-width:470px;margin:8px 8px 8px 0px"> <table style="width:470px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="470"> <tbody><tr valign="top"> <td style="padding-left:10px;width:10px;padding-right:10px"> <img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/ucwebapp.wisestamp.com/bbfdb9f5-8428-4ef7-bd1e-dc024659da8b/FotoAlfredo.format_png.resize_200x.png#logo" alt="photo" style="border-radius: 4px;

Actually all of the Beginners Guides are translated in the 5 UN

that they are translated.<br>

<div>I love those videos where an artist draws a flowchart as a

clear.</div>
<div>A new online guidebook could consist of a series of

<div>By clicking onto the flowchart you would access the

I fully support this. The problem, in my opinion, is not the
language. It's the medium that the message is delivered on. In a
world where young people have stopped reading anything else than
instant messages, we need to reduce written content to short
paragraphs and add audio visual content.<span class=""><br>

<br>
a response I have received during the consultation process
of our Outreach Strategy mentioned a comment I have heard
on many occasions: how do ALSes get their members involved
in At-Large activity? (see below)<br>
<br>
There is a beginner's guide that explains how to
participate in At-Large, but it is more than three years
old.
<a class="m_-6593358216664301458m_-4082979173305262076moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.icann.org/resources/files/participating-at-large-2013-11-08-en" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/resource<wbr>s/files/participating-at-<wbr>large-2013-11-08-en</a>
<br>
<br>
And when I read the Guide I can't help wondering why this
has not been providing a suitable answer to all the people
who have asked me this question. Are we missing the
target? How can we rectify this?<br>
<br>

Olivier,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One suggestion I have is to augment the « Task
Force on ALS Engagement » section with a mention of
the difficulties some ALSes may have in explaining to
their members how they are able to participate and
helping them to understand the basic At Large
structure and dynamics so that their participation
becomes easier.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It’s certainly an issue we’ve had in the individual
users’ org and I think it would be useful to reflect
this in EURALO’s Outreach Plan.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
