ALAC Member and Liaison Position Description Under Revision - Comments Requested
by At-Large Staff Aug. 24, 2009

Aug. 24, 2009

Dear Community: As discussed by the ALAC and regional leaders in Sydney, work is progressing on setting up policies to ensure active participation of ALAC members as well as greater clarity regarding the time and other obligations of members, as well as of liaisons from ALAC to other parts of ICANN. This effort is intended to help those who are interested in being candidates for these positions understand what is required, whether as elected members from RALOs or as appointees to the ALAC from the Nominating Committee; it also forms the foundation of how to evaluate the performance of those serving in these positions. There were two decisions that came out of the Sydney meeting: 1. At-Large needs a comprehensive Position Description for these positions before a policy on how to enforce it can be drawn up. 2. ALAC should continue work on this as a committee-of-the-whole (that is, the entire ALAC). At the request of the Chair, ICANN staff were asked to draft an initial Position Description ("PD"). It was reviewed at the ExCom meeting of 28 July 2009, (following some significant discussion on various lists). Three changes were made: 1. A change was made to ensure that the PD was aligned with the recommendations of the ALAC Review Report as accepted by the ICANN Board. 2. A section on recommendation to the Nominating Committee was removed. 3. Sections were numbered to make it easier to comment on particular parts. The revised PD can be found at https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi/index.cgi?draft_alac_pd. The PD has been open for ALAC comments for two weeks. Those made to date may be seen on the page above. We've been asked to ask the community for comments at this time. Please review this document and add comments at the bottom. This is easily done by clicking the 'Comment' button at the top of the page. To make sure that everyone is commenting on the same document, PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE PD ITSELF, even if you have editing rights. If you agree with someone else's comments, do feel free to say so. If you disagree with any of the original text or someone else's comments, you are also invited to note your disagreement.. Please note that this document is the Draft Position Description, not the policy on how it will be enforced, as that is being drafted as a separate process. We will be providing a translation of the draft PD shortly. This will be announced as soon as it is available. -- Regards, *ICANN At-Large Staff* Nick Ashton-Hart, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Gisella Gruber-White staff(a)atlarge.icann.org

Solicitud de Comentarios sobre la Descripción de Puesto Preliminar de los Miembros y Responsables de Relaciones del Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC)
by At-Large Staff Aug. 24, 2009

Aug. 24, 2009

Estimados, Tal como fuera conversado en Sídney por el Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC) y los dirigentes regionales, la labor sobre una descripción de puesto detallada para los miembros y Responsables de Relaciones del Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC) está progresando. Esta iniciativa del Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC) está destinada a ayudar a garantizar tanto una participación activa de los miembros del Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC), como una mayor claridad con respecto al tiempo y otras obligaciones de los miembros y Responsables de Relaciones del Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC). Este esfuerzo también tiene la intención de ayudar a entender a aquellos que estén interesados en ser candidatos para cubrir estos cargos, qué es lo que eventualmente se esperará de ellos; también conformando la base de la forma de evaluar el desempeño de aquellos que ocupan estas posiciones. A partir de la reunión de Sídney surgieron dos decisiones: 1. Antes de poder establecer una política acerca de cómo hacer cumplir las responsabilidades inherentes a estos cargos, debe haber una Descripción de Puesto detallada para los mismos. 2. El Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC) debe continuar su labor sobre este asunto como un comité-en-su-totalidad (es decir, con una participación total del Comité Asesor At-Large ―ALAC―). Por pedido del Presidente del Comité, se solicitó al personal de la Corporación para la Asignación de Números y Nombres en Internet (ICANN) un borrador de la Descripción de Puesto ("PD"). El borrador fue revisado en la reunión del Comité Ejecutivo (ExCom) del 28 de julio de 2009. Se hicieron tres cambios: 1. Se realizó un cambio para asegurar que la Descripción de Puesto (PD) estuviera alineada con las recomendaciones del Informe de Revisión del Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC), tal como fuera aceptado por la Junta Directiva de la Corporación para la Asignación de Números y Nombres en Internet (ICANN). 2. Se eliminó una sección sobre recomendación al Comité de Nominaciones. 3. Las secciones fueron numeradas para facilitar la realización de comentarios sobre determinadas partes en particular. Puede acceder a la Descripción de Puesto mediante el siguiente enlace: https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?draft_alac_pd_es Se ha abierto un período de dos semanas para comentarios del Comité Asesor At-Large (ALAC) sobre la Descripción de Puesto, y ahora se solicita la revisión y comentarios de la comunidad más amplia de At-Large. Por favor, revise este documento y agregue sus comentarios debajo. Puede presentar sus comentarios fácilmente presionando el botón “Comentario” ubicado en tanto en la parte superior como inferior de la página. Se aceptan comentarios hasta el día 4 de septiembre. -- Atentamente, Nick Ashton-Hart, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Gisella Gruber-White ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff at atlarge.icann.org

Commentaires demandés quant à l¹Avant-projet de la description des postes pour les membres et liaisons ALAC
by At-Large Staff Aug. 24, 2009

Aug. 24, 2009

Chers membres, Tel que discuté à Sydney par les leaders régionaux et ceux de l¹ALAC, les travaux progressent quant à la description détaillée des postes pour les membres et liaisons ALAC. Cette initiative de l¹ALAC a pour but d¹assurer une participation active des membres ALAC et d¹offrir un meilleur aperçu des obligations des membres et liaisons ALAC. Cet effort a aussi pour but d¹aider ceux qui sont intéressés à présenter leur candidature en leur offrant une meilleure compréhension des obligations relatives à chaque poste; les descriptions servent également de référence afin d¹évaluer la performance de ceux occupant les postes. Deux décisions ont été prises à cet effet lors de la réunion de Sydney: 1. Une description compréhensive des postes est nécessaire avant de pouvoir établir une politique relative à ceux-ci. 2. L¹ALAC devrait continuer de travailler sur ce processus en tant que comité plénier (soit l¹ALAC au complet). À la demande de la chaire, le personnel ICANN a rédigé une description initiale des postes («DP») qui fut révisée à la réunion ExCom le 28 juillet 2009. Trois changements ont été apportés. 1. Un changement a été apporté afin de s¹assurer que la description des postes reflète les recommandations du Rapport de révision ALAC tel qu¹accepté par le conseil ICANN. 2. Une section portant sur les recommandations au comité de nomination a été enlevée. 3. Les sections ont été numérotées afin qu¹il soit plus facile de commenter certaines sections en particulier. La description révisée se retrouve au https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?draft_alac_pd_fr Le document DP est sujet aux commentaires des membres ALAC depuis les deux dernières semaines et on demande maintenant à la communauté At-Large d¹offrir ses commentaires. Veuillez réviser ce document et ajouter vos commentaires au bas. Vous n¹avez qu¹à cliquer sur le bouton «Commentaires» qui se trouve au haut de la page. Les commentaires sont acceptés jusqu¹au 4 septembre. -- Salutations, Nick Ashton-Hart, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Gisella Gruber-White ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff at atlarge.icann.org

At-Large Travel Support for Meetings in FY 2009/2010
by At-Large Staff Aug. 18, 2009

Aug. 18, 2009

Dear Community: As you will recall, two teleconferences were recently held to allow At-Large to discuss how it would like to allocate the available travel funding. The need to book travel for Seoul is very pressing. Accordingly, we need to know what the community wishes to do. Is the travel support for the previous meeting - 15 members of ALAC and up to 10 RALO leaders (two per region at a maximum) to be continued, or do you wish to do something else? We have been advised by the ALAC that we should send information on the 15 members of ALAC and begin arrangements for travel support to be made for them. We have done so. We will be able to add additional names, if that is what the community wishes to do, up to the end of the day next Tuesday, 25th August. After that time we will no longer be able to add names to the travel support list for the Seoul meeting. As the ALAC's monthly meeting is next Tuesday, it is our hope that this matter can be finalised at that time. -- Regards, *ICANN At-Large Staff* Nick Ashton-Hart, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Gisella Gruber-White staff(a)atlarge.icann.org

Notice of ALAC Vote to Support the Proposed GNSO Consumer Constituency
by At-Large Staff Aug. 16, 2009

Aug. 16, 2009

Dear Secretary of ICANN: cc: Denise Michel, Wendy Seltzer, At-Large Announcements, At-Large Staff We have the honour to notify the Board that the At-Large Advisory Committee voted by consensus to support the proposed GNSO Consumer Constituency on 28th April 2009. The Minutes of the meeting in question may be reviewed at https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?28_april_2009_summary_minutes_en. It is regrettable that notification of this vote was not more expeditious. The ALAC has recently voted to approve a number of administrative process improvements in order to help administrative processes to scale with the greatly increasing workload on the ALAC and the community. These measures should, amongst other benefits, ensure that a delay of notification of this nature does not reoccur. -- Regards, *ICANN At-Large Staff* Nick Ashton-Hart, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Gisella Gruber-White staff(a)atlarge.icann.org
