ATLAS II Events - Breakout Session Information and Requests
by ICANN At-Large Staff April 10, 2014

April 10, 2014

Dear All, Please find below a note with requests sent on behalf of Evan Leibovitch and Wolf Ludwig, ATLAS II Events Program Coordinators. ** Dear All, As noted earlier, At-Large participants at the Singapore meeting met five times to discuss At-Large Summit II (ATLAS II) preparatory questions such as logistical issues and thematic priorities and questions for the forthcoming At-Large summit in London. Among the items discussed, the group reviewed the inputs of the ATLAS II Event Working Group in detail by comparing it with the ATLAS II Survey results. After a very dynamic on-spot discussion, the topics of the thematic priorities were amended. This selection takes into account the overarching ATLAS II theme, recent key announcements within the Internet eco-system, and earlier survey results. Please find below the modified list of 5 thematic topics, which will be discussed within a series of breakout sessions during the summit. As next steps in our proceeding we agreed to send this Solicitation Letter to the Event WG and other interested members who were present in Singapore. Subject Matter Experts will lead and coordinate session content and output. In discussions in Singapore, several At-Large community members were proposed: 1. The future of multistakeholderism - Adam Peake 2. The globalization of ICANN - Rinaliah Abdul Rahim / Roberto Gaetano 3. Global Internet: The User Perspective - Jean-Jacques Subrenat 4. ICANN Transparency and Accountability - Avri Doria / Hong Xue 5. At-Large Community Engagement in ICANN - Olivier Crépin-Leblond / Mike O'Connor Any community member who is interested to contribute to one of the break out subjects above and being a member of the respective session organization group is welcome. Please let us know your interest and favoured topical group until Sunday, 13 April 2014. Or please post your interest on the ATLAS II Thematic Group Coordination Workspace by Sunday, 13 April 2014 at https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/ATLAS+II+Thematic+Group+Coordin…. We also need to identify experienced community members for session moderation and reporting. Both are crucial additional functions to ensure quality of session conduct as well as outcomes. Please either let us know your interest for one of these functions or post your name on the ATLAS II Thematic Group Coordination Workspace until Monday, 21 April 2014. Your collaboration in this important ATLAS II programming process is much appreciated. We are only 74 days from the start of ATLAS II! A Doodle for a next call of the ATLAS II Event WG will be sent shortly. Kind regards, Evan Leibovitch and Wolf Ludwig, ATLAS II Events Program Coordinators ** Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Ariel Liang, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie Peregrine and Terri Agnew ICANN Policy Staff in support of ALAC E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<applewebdata://68497759-1B04-4F9B-84B7-B9445B8F305F/Regards,%20Heidi%20Ullrich,%20Silvia%20Vivanco,%20Matt%20Ashtiani,%20Ariel%20Liang,%20Gisella%20Gruber,%20Nathalie%20Peregrine%20and%20Julia%20Charvolen%20ICANN%20Policy%20Staff%20in%20support%20of%20ALACmailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>

IANA in Transition: Update
by At-Large Staff April 9, 2014

April 9, 2014

http://blog.icann.org/2014/04/iana-in-transition-update/ IANA in Transition: Update by Theresa Swinehart on April 7, 2014 We received an overwhelming response to our call for feedback in the design of a community-driven process toward achieving transition of NTIA¹s Stewardship of the IANA Functions. From the launch of the public comment process in Singapore two weeks ago through last Thursday, we received numerous ideas on principles and mechanisms and are now incorporating them into our consultation materials. We also are taking into account feedback received from our I* partners. As a result, we need a little longer than the anticipated 7 April deadline for finalizing and posting the scoping, draft process proposal and timeline documents for further public dialogue. We will now be posting COB on 8 April (UTC). Thanks for your understanding and stay tuned! -------------- Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Ariel Liang, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie Peregrine and Terri Agnew ICANN Policy Staff in support of ALAC E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org One World, One Internet
