Call for Volunteers from AFRALO for Budget & Finance Subcommittee
by ICANN At-Large Staff Feb. 17, 2011

Feb. 17, 2011

Dear All, The ALAC is looking for a non-ALAC representative from AFRALO to join the ALAC Finance and Budget Subcommittee. The proposal to add non-ALAC representatives to the Finance and Budget Subcommittee came from Improvements Work Team C (ALAC/At-Large¹s participation in ICANN and ALS participation in At-Large) and was endorsed by the ALAC during their meeting of 25 January. Among the responsibilities of the Finance and Budget Subcommittee are the following: * Review the At-Large budget requests for FY12 * Identify key projects for FY12 and the following years * Provide advice to the ALAC and ICANN¹s Finance Department on current and upcoming budget matters The current listing for the SC therefore has the following members (designations): Cheryl Langdon-Orr (ALAC/APRALO) Charles Mok (APRALO) Tijani Ben Jamaa (ALAC/AFRALO) Dave Kissoondoyal (ALAC/AFRALO) Olivier Crepin-Leblond (ALAC/EURALO) Chair of the B&F-SC Sylvia Herlein Leite (ALAC/LACRALO) Gareth Shearman (ALAC/NARALO) Darlene Thomspon (NARALO) As this is a Subcommittee of the ALAC, the RALO representative will participate as an ex officio member, meaning that they do not have a formal vote, (should a vote in the SC ever be called for) but acts as an essential liaison point with the RALO and their ALSes on these matters. If you are interested in this AFRALO representative position, (including offers to act as alternates for those currently allocated), then please reply to the mailing list by Monday, 7 February at 2359 UTC. -- Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Seth Greene, Gisella Gruber-White, Marilyn Vernon, Kristina Nordström ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff[at]atlarge.icann.org website: www.atlarge.icann.org

Message from David Olive on At-Large Staff Transitions
by Heidi Ullrich Feb. 13, 2011

Feb. 13, 2011

Dear All, Please see a note on upcoming At-Large staff transitions sent on behalf of David Olive, Vice President, Policy Development Support. ** Dear At-Large community, I would like to inform you of some At-Large staff transitions that will begin following the 40th ICANN Meeting in Silicon Valley in San Francisco. It is with mixed emotions that I announce the departure of Matthias Langenegger, Manager, At-Large Regional Affairs, effective 21 March 2011. Matthias, who first joined ICANN in February 2008 as the At-Large Coordination Officer, has been an exceptional member of the Policy Team and provided outstanding support to the At-Large community, due in part, to his unique combination of technical and language skills. The position of Manager, At-Large Regional Affairs has been posted on the ICANN website (see: At-Large Regional Affairs Officer (OHREGAFFRSOFFCR)<http://hostedjobs.openhire.com/epostings/submit.cfm?fuseaction=app.jobinfo&…>). However, in the interim period, we have asked Seth Greene, currently the At-Large Improvements Project Manager, to take on some of responsibilities of this position, with assistance from Gisella Gruber and Marilyn Vernon. This interim arrangement has been designed in order to ensure continuity in At-Large staff support. Along with the At-Large staff, I would like to warmly thank Matthias for his considerable contribution to ICANN and the At-Large community and wish him all the best in his new endeavors. I am confident that Seth, with assistance from Gisella and Marilyn, will provide the same level of outstanding service to the At-Large community. Kind regards, David A. Olive Vice President, Policy Development Support Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) 1101 New York Avenue, NW - Suite 930 - Washington, D.C. 20005 Office: 202.570.7126 Mobile: 202.341.3611 ** Kind regards, Heidi Heidi Ullrich Director for At-Large Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: + 1 (310) 578 - 8647 Fax: +1 (310) 823 - 8649 Cell/Mobile: +1 (310) 437 - 3956
