Accountability & Transparency - "ATRT" Activities Webinar 31 August, 2011 14:00 -- 15:30 UTC
by ICANN At-Large Staff Aug. 30, 2011

Aug. 30, 2011

Dear All, Please find below an announcement of an upcoming Accountability and Transparency Activities Webinar scheduled to take place Wednesday, 31 August between 14:30-15:30 UTC. ** Are you wondering how ICANN is progressing on its commitments to improve transparency and accountability, and how ATRT improvements will help you? Do you have an opinion to share on the changes made to date by ICANN's Board of Directors, Governmental Advisory Committee, Nominating Committee, and Staff? If so, join the ATRT Activities Webinar on Wednesday, 31 August 2011 from <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Accountability+%26 +Transparency+%E2%80%93+%E2%80%9CATRT%E2%80%9D+%E2%80%93+Activities+Webinar& iso=20110831T07&p1=1240&ah=1&am=30> 14:00 -- 15:30 UTC. The webinar is open to all, and will be conducted in English. If participants find it useful, more sessions will be scheduled. The meeting will be run in Adobe Connect with a slide presentation along with a dial-in conference bridge for audio. No RSVPs are needed. Here's how to connect: * From the US dial Toll Free - 800-550-6865 and enter Participant Code 8752 * From other countries see a list of international numbers posted at <about:blank> http://www.adigo.com/icann/ * To join the Adobe Connect online "room" go to this URL: <about:blank> http://icann.adobeconnect.com/atrtimplementation/ Participants will have opportunities to ask questions after each agenda item presentation. During the course of the webinar, questions may be submitted using the chat function of Adobe Connect (in addition to joining the discussion queue on the conference bridge). The session will be recorded, and the slides and an MP3 will be publicly posted. The webinar agenda is included below. Staff will brief you on <http://www.icann.org/en/accountability/atrt-project-list-workplans-22jun11- en.pdf> 27 ATRT implementation plans that involve a wide cross-section of ICANN's community, and will discuss key deliverables, schedules, opportunities for public input, and end-goals. ICANN's Board directed that implementation move forward on the Accountability and Transparency Review Team's broad-ranging recommendations. Much has been accomplished and much work lies ahead. This webinar will help you get-up-to-speed on all of these efforts, and will enable you to share your input on completed and planned improvements. For example: * To provide better access to, and insight into, Board decisions, ICANN provides a wealth of <http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/> Board meeting information online, including briefing materials, expanded minutes, and rationale statements for Board resolutions, as well as conditions for <http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/board-briefing-materials-guidelines-21mar11 -en.htm> redaction of posted material. Are you finding these useful? * To help advance the effectiveness of the Governmental Advisory Committee and its interaction with the Board, ICANN increased funding to support government participation in the GAC and multilingual access, and the <http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/board-gac-jwg-final-report-07jul11-e n.htm> Board-GAC Joint Working Group recently issued proposed improvements for public comment. Do you have additional suggestions? * To improve the processes ICANN uses to gain public input and develop policy, ICANN's Bylaws have been translated into multiple languages, and ICANN's <http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/> Public Comment Webpage has been redesigned. Is the new structure easier to use and more effective? These are just some examples of ATRT-related activities. You can find more detailed information on ICANN's <http://www.icann.org/en/accountability/overview-en.htm> Accountability & Transparency web page.

by Seth Greene Aug. 16, 2011

Aug. 16, 2011

Hello, all, During the ExCom meeting on 16 August, the ALAC Chair, Olivier Crepin-Leblond, requested that staff remind members of the RALOs about the following two action items: 1) At-Large members to add input to the following two wiki pages regarding ongoing collaboration between At-Large and Registrars: - Ideas for future ALAC-Registrar meetings<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Future+ALAC-Registrar+meetings+…> (what questions would ALAC members like asked of the Registrars?) - Ideas for the content of educational materials to be developed by At-Large & Registrars<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=15630722> 2) RALO members to be reminded that all At-Large calls (including ALAC, ExCom, and At-Large WG calls) are, unless otherwise noted, open to all At-Large members as observers (and, based on the discretion of the meeting chair, perhaps also as speakers/participants). Please join any meetings that are of interest to you. Furthermore, would the RALO Secretariats kindly announce these two items on the RALO calls? And staff will add them to the RALO agendas. Many thanks, Seth ______ Seth Greene Interim Manager, At-Large Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: + 1 (212) 662-7723 E-mail: seth.greene(a)icann.org<mailto:seth.greene@icann.org>

Français ci-dessous ------------------------------ Dear all, As you already know, we will be able to implement in Dakar next October our project of capacity building program for all AFRALO ALSes thanks to a great act of solidarity from our colleagues from EURALO and LACRALO, and the wonderful help of the ALAC Chair and Vices Chair. So please provide me as soon as possible, and in any case before Wednesday 10 August, with the name of your ALS representative that will attend the Dakar meeting. I want to remind you that the aim of this huge effort of bringing the representatives of all AFRALO ALSes to Dakar is to give those representatives the necessary information and knowledge to improve their participation in AFRALO, ALAC and ICANN activities, and more specifically their involvement in the policy development process. So please appoint people who, after the capacity building sessions, have the willing and the ability to participate actively and defend the interest of the African Internet end-users. ---------------------------- Chers tous, Comme vous le savez déjà, nous allons enfin pouvoir mettre en œuvre à Dakar en Octobre prochain, notre projet de programme formation pour toutes les ALS Africaines grâce à un grand geste de solidarité de nos collègues d’EURALO et de LACRALO, et au magnifique soutien du Président et des Vices Président d’ALAC. Ceci étant, je vous prie de me donner le plus tôt possible, et en tout cas avant Mercredi 10 Août, le nom du représentant de votre ALS qui suivra cette formation à Dakar. Je vous rappelle que le but de cet énorme effort de faire venir les représentants de toutes les ALS Africaines à Dakar est de leur donner les informations et le savoir nécessaires pour améliorer leur participation aux activités d’AFRALO, d’At-Large et dICANN, et plus particulièrement leur implication dans le processus de développement de politique. Je vous prie donc de désigner des gens qui, après la formation, auront la volonté et la capacité de participer activement et défendre les intérêts des utilisateurs finaux Africans. ---------------------------------------------------------- Tijani BEN JEMAA Executive Director Mediterranean Federation of Internet Associations Phone : + 216 70 825 231 Mobile : + 216 98 330 114 Fax : + 216 70 825 231 ----------------------------------------------------------
