Call for Statements of Interest (SOIs) from ICANN's At-Large Community for consideration to be selected by the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) to serve as a (term-limited) member of the ICANN Board of Directors 21 July 2010 The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is responsible for the global coordination of the Internet's system of unique identifiers – including domain names (such as .org and .museum), country codes (such as .uk and .ke) and the addresses used in a variety of Internet protocols – that help computers reach each other over the Internet. Without this coordination, we would not have one global Internet. The At-Large Community and the ICANN Board seat This Call for Statements of Interest (SOIs) is part of the new process through which the user community within ICANN will appoint one voting member of the ICANN Board. While acting in a personal capacity as a member of the ICANN Board, this member must be able to reflect the users' point of view and interests in the debate and decision making undertaken within the ICANN framework. In seeking candidates for this post, ICANN's At-Large Community is looking for an individual with a broad international perspective and a background in Internet users' interests, consumer policy and/or civil society worldwide. "At-Large" is the name of the community of individual Internet users involved in ICANN's policy development process. It currently consists of over 120 active At-Large organisations (called "At-Large structures" or "ALSes"), representing the opinions of the global community of Internet users. At-Large provides a means through which individual end users of the Internet worldwide can participate in the matters on which ICANN works, such as: • Guidance on how to run Internationalized Domain Names (IDN); • How to introduce new gTLDs (such as .info, .name and .museum); and • How to implement a stable and fair transition from IPv4 to the next Internet addresses generation, IPv6. To learn more about the At-Large Community and its activities, please see the main ICANN At-Large Web page (http://www.atlarge.icann.org ) or contact any of the ALSes in your country of residence. All ALSes are listed on the At-Large Structure Applications and Certification Process Web page (http://www.atlarge.icann.org/applications ). What does an ICANN Board Director do?

Background of the At-Large-selected Board seat The matter of the At-Large-selected Board seat(s) came from recommendations made by the ALAC Review Working Group in its report of 9 June 2009 (www.icann.org/en/reviews/alac/final-report-alac-review-09jun09-en.pdf ). The ICANN Board, in its August 2009 meeting, approved in principle the replacement of the ALAC Liaison to the Board by one Director, with full Board-member privileges, to be appointed from the At-Large Community. The Board requested that the ALAC submit to the Board Structural Improvements Committee (SIC) a plan outlining how this Board member would be selected, with the intent of having the new member seated no later than ICANN's Annual Meeting in December 2010. -- 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

NOW OPEN: Proposed Bylaw Amendments for At-Large Board Director Position
by ICANN At-Large Staff July 5, 2010

July 5, 2010

Dear All, This is to inform you that ICANN has started a public consultation on proposed bylaws amendment in furtherance of the Board Review Working Group recommendation to add one voting director from the At-Large community to the ICANN Board of Directors. You can find the the original announcement under: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-01jul10-en.htm The announcement is also attached below. Public consultation deadline: 31 July 2010 -- 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 Announcement: Public Comment: Proposed Bylaws Amendment in Furtherance of the Board Review Working Group Recommendation to Add One Voting Director from the At-Large Community to the ICANN Board of Directors 1 July 2010 On 27 August 2009 <http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/minutes-27aug09-en.htm> , the Board approved in principle the recommendation of the Board review Working Group (BRWG) to add one voting director from the At-Large Community to the ICANN Board of Directors and removing the present At-Large Advisory Committee Liaison to the ICANN Board. The BRWG issued its final report <http://www.icann.org/en/reviews/board/board-review-final-26jan10-en.pdf> [PDF, 116 KB] in February 2010, and noted the expectation that "the selection process will be designed, approved and implemented in time for the new Director to be seated at the 2010 Annual General Meeting." The Board's Structural Improvements Committee (SIC) is charged with providing a set of suggested actions to address this recommendation. As part of the SIC's work, in consultation with the Board Governance Committee, the SIC agreed that the term of the Board Director selected by the At-Large Community should coincide with the terms of the Board Directors selected by the Sponsoring Organizations, so as to allow the Nominating Committee to consider the full composition of the non-Nominating Committee-appointed Board membership when making its appointments. One item necessary to implement the recommendation is a change to Articles VI and XI of the ICANN Bylaws to recognize the new Seat 15 on the Board and remove the ALAC Liaison position. The Office of the General Counsel, in consultation with the SIC and the staff supporting the At-Large, identified recommended Bylaws amendments necessary to allow the seating of the Director selected by the At-Large Community in line with Board and committee directives. At its meeting on 25 June 2010, the Board directed staff to post these recommended Bylaws amendments <http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-25jun10-en.htm#1.7> for public comment, so that the Board can take action on these proposed amendments no later than at its 28 October 2010 meeting. The relevant portion of the proposed Bylaws revisions, in redline for ease of review, can be found at http://www.icann.org/en/general/proposed-bylaws-revision-at-large-director-… [PDF, 120 KB]. The subject of this public comment forum is limited to the proposed Bylaws revisions necessary to allow a voting director to be sat, and does not include the design of the selection process. Further information on the work of the At-Large Community to design a process for the selection of the voting director can be found at https://st.icann.org/working-groups/index.cgi?at_large_director_appointment…. Deadline and How to Submit Comments: ICANN is opening a 30-day public comment, from 1 July 2010 through 11:59 p.m. Pacific Daylight time on 31 July 2010. The formal Public Comment Forum Box is located here: http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-201007-en.htm#al-dire… To Submit Comments: <mailto:Proposed-Bylaws-Amend-AL-Director@icann.org> bylaws-amend-al-director(a)icann.org To View Comments: http://forum.icann.org/lists/bylaws-amend-al-director/ Staff Responsible: Samantha Eisner, Senior Counsel, ICANN and Heidi Ullrich, Director for At-Large, ICANN July 2010.
