<b>Subject: </b>[Alac-sc-outreach] O&E Suggestion : improving the text of our ALAC / At-Large sessions at ICANN F2F meetings<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">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.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><br>
Consider ICANN61. There is a session at <a href="https://61.schedule.icann.org/meetings/647710" target="_blank">
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 ? <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">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.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">So we should work to change this descriptive text.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Also, the title of our sessions "ALAC and Regional Leaders Working Session Part 1", Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, etc etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in">
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)"
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
