Call with Board Liaision nominees/Appel à Conseil Liaision nominés
by At Large Staff Sept. 3, 2009

Sept. 3, 2009

**Version française ci-dessous** Dear All, As set out in paragraph 3 of the Board Liaison Election Process 2009 (see: https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?board_liaison_process_2009) A special purpose teleconference shall be arranged not earlier than 18th September and not later than 20th September at which the candidates shall be provided an equal length of time to speak about their candidature (the length to be determined by the Chair of the ALAC in advance). This will be followed by Q&A. All members of the At-Large community shall be invited to attend the teleconference, which shall be recorded and transcribed and conducted in English, Spanish, and French through the use of interpreters. On the AFRALO teleconference of 2 September, there was interest in holding an additional call with the Board Liaison nominees only for the AFRALO region. We would like to suggest that AFRALO members first participate in the At-Large community call (to include French interpretation) so that the other regions will benefit from hearing the interests and questions asked by AFRALO community members. If at the end of the At-Large community call, AFRALO members would still like to schedule an additional call, a date/time could be arranged with the Board Liaison nominees and AFRALO members at that time. A doodle for the At-Large community call will be sent out shortly. Regards, **** Chers tous, Comme indiqué au paragraphe 3 du processus d'élection du Conseil de liaison 2009 (voir: https: / / st.icann.org / ALAC-docs / index.cgi? Board_liaison_process_2009), "Une téléconférence des fins spéciales doivent être disposés au plus tôt 18th Septembre et non plus tard le 20 Septembre au cours de laquelle les candidats doivent disposer d'une longueur égale de temps pour parler de leur candidature (la durée sera déterminée par le président de l'ALAC à l'avance ). Ceci sera suivi par Q & A. Tous les membres de la communauté At-Large sont invités à assister à la téléconférence, qui doivent être enregistrées et transcrites et en anglais, espagnol et français par l'utilisation d'interprètes. " Sur la téléconférence AFRALO du 2 Septembre, on a intérêt à tenir un appel supplémentaire avec les candidats de liaison conseil seulement pour la région AFRALO. Nous voudrions suggérer que les membres participent AFRALO première fois dans At-Large communauté (y compris d'interprétation en français) afin que les autres régions bénéficieront d'entendre les intérêts et les questions posées par les membres de la communauté AFRALO. Si à la fin de At-Large communauté, les membres AFRALO voudrais encore de programmer un appel supplémentaire, une date / heure pourraient être organisées avec les candidats et les membres du Conseil de liaison AFRALO à cette époque. Un Doodle pour At-Large communauté seront envoyées dans les prochains jours.

Merci Cordialement, Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Gisella Gruber-White ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org ------ Forwarded Message From: At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2009 06:55:07 -0700 To: <icann-future-wg(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org>, <engagement-wg(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Cc: At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> Subject: Public Consultation on Geographic Regions WG Initial Report / Revisión de las Regiones Geográficas para Comentario Público / Rapport initial du groupe de travail sur les régions pour commentaires publics Para Espanol: http://www.icann.org/es/announcements/announcement-31jul09-es.htm Version Francais: http://www.icann.org/fr/announcements/announcement-31jul09-fr.htm Dear Working Group members: We wish to advise both working groups of a public consultation that falls under the remit of your working group - Initial Report of Geographic Regions Review Working Group (http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-31jul09-en.htm) Geographic diversity is a fundamental component of the ICANN organization. The ICANN Bylaws (Article VI Section 5) currently define five geographic regions as Africa, North America, Latin America/Caribbean, Asia/Australia/Pacific and Europe. As you know, the RALOs of At-Large are based upon these very same geographic regions, and any chance to the regions will change the membership of the RALOs. The Geographic Regions don't just affect At-Large, though - they are a core element of how geographic diversity works across ICANN, from the composition of the ICANN Board, the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO), and in some respects also the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO). Over time, community members have developed concerns about the implementation of the ICANN Geographic Regions and related representational issues. For example, in At-Large, some Eastern European countries are currently a part of the Asia-Pacific region, one EU member state (Malta) is a part of Africa, and various small island territories in the Caribbean are not a part of NARALO, but of EURALO. As a result, the ICANN Board appointed a community-wide working group to further study and review the issues related to the definition of the ICANN Geographic Regions, to consult with all stakeholders and submit proposals to the Board to resolve the issues relating to the current definition of the ICANN Geographic Regions. The working group includes At-Large members Cheryl Langdon-Orr (APRALO) and Carlton Samuels (LACRALO) as members. The consultation closes on 4th September 2009. You are kindly requested to review the report; the staff have been asked to arrange a teleconference to discuss the report, answer questions, and help foster an At-Large comment on the draft. We will circulate more information on this subject shortly. -- Regards, ICANN At-Large Staff Nick Ashton-Hart, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Gisella Gruber-White staff(a)atlarge.icann.org ------ End of Forwarded Message ------ End of Forwarded Message
