I absolutely agree with all points, Dev. We need to make our
sessions attractive to everyone, including newcomers. Let's improve
the titles and descriptive texts.<br>

<div>One suggestion for the O&E to fix is the issue of how
our At-Large/ALAC meetings are listed in the schedule at ICANN
F2F meetings. <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
Consider ICANN61. There is a session at <a
href="https://61.schedule.icann.org/meetings/647710"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://61.schedule.icann.org/meetings/647710</a>
titled "ALAC and Regional Leaders Working Session Part 1"<br>
This is the descriptive text that newcomers, fellows will see
<br>
"The Members of the ALAC and the Regional Leadership will
discuss policy and process issues of importance to them. These
sessions will also include presentations by senior staff."<br>
<br>
Why should any newcomers, ICANN fellows, nextgen care to
attend this ? <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">The description says nothing what the ALAC is,
only says the ALAC will discuss stuff important to them,
implying its like a closed meeting and we're not talking
anything of importance to newcomers to attend. <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">So we should work to change this descriptive
text. <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Also, the title of our sessions "ALAC and
Regional Leaders Working Session Part 1", Part 2, Part 3, Part
4, etc etc.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I know its hard to finalize agendas in a timely
manner, but can we come up with better descriptive text for
these names? We tend (or should) group these Working Sessions
under a particular theme or subject - Security, new gTLD
policy, Finance for example and we should therefore have the
subject or theme in the title of the sessions.<br>
<br>
Also, instead of "ALAC and Regional Leaders" which again gives
a "if you're not a ALAC or Regional Leader, you are NOT
welcome" vibe, so lets make it more inviting...perhaps
"At-Large Community (ALAC)" <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>This may seem tedious, but I think it would have huge
benefit to At-Large. Once created however, we can use the
improved description and titles going forward for future ICANN
F2F meetings.</div>
