Blog Aggregation Feature on atlarge.icann.org
by At-Large Staff April 29, 2009

April 29, 2009

Dear Community: Many of you may not know that there is a feature on the At-Large website which allows blogs to be combined together in real-time, using RSS: you can find this by choosing 'Opinions' from the menu on the site, on the left. At the moment, the entries you see are from a small handful of news and other sites so you can see how it looks when multiple sources are integrated. What we would like to do is to include as sources blogs from the community. Do you have a blog where you discuss Internet issues relevant to ICANN¹s mission (as well as other things too, if that¹s how your blog works), or your ALS has one, we can add it as a source providing it is RSS-feed enabled. If you have a blog you'd like to see added, please send the URL to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart, Matthias Langenegger, Heidi Ullrich, Marie-Hélène Bouchoms ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org

April 3, 2009

Chers membres, Nous vous informons que la période de consultation publique en anglais, français ou espagnol relative aux déclarations des cinq groupes de travail du sommet At-Large est actuellement ouverte à vos commentaires. Lors de sa réunion du 24 mars, l¹ALAC a décidé que chacune des déclarations des cinq groupes de travail qui ont contribué aux travaux du sommet serait ensuite intégrée dans une recommandation pour le Comité directoire de l¹ICANN (Consultez le lien suivant : http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/alac-announce_atlarge-lists.icann.o rg/2009q2/000176.html) Comme suite à la décision de l¹ALAC lors de sa téléconférence du 24 mars, les déclarations du sommet seront ouvertes aux commentaires de toute la communauté At-Large afin de s¹assurer que chacun/e puisse exprimer son opinion sur celles-ci. De plus, cela permettra à nos membres dont la langue de travail est le français ou l¹espagnol et qui de ce fait, n¹auraient pas pu participer au groupe de travail de leur sujet préféré durant le sommet, d¹avoir la possibilité d¹apporter leurs commentaires sur chacune des cinq déclarations. Veuillez utiliser le bouton comment¹ (commentaire) sur les pages Wiki, dont le lien vous est donné ci-dessous, pour apporter votre commentaire sur la déclaration. Lorsqu¹ une période de consultation est inférieure à 30 jours, cela indique qu¹une période de consultation ouverte à toute la communauté de l¹ICANN existe en parallèle et est en cours. La période raccourcie pour la consultation ouverte à la communauté At-Large permet que votre commentaire soit pris en considération dans l¹élaboration de la déclaration finale et donne à ALAC le temps nécessaire pour pouvoir procéder au vote de son approbation. Ainsi la déclaration finale en plus d¹être envoyée au Comité directoire de l¹ICANN sera un des commentaires répondant à la consultation publique lancée par l¹ICANN. Déclaration sur L'engagement de la communauté At-Large au sein de l'ICANN (ATLAS WG 1). la consultation se termine le 1 mai 2009 https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?engagement_de_la_communaute_at_larg e_au_sein_de_l_icann_al_alac_st_0309_1_fr Déclaration sur La structure et la gouvernance futures de l¹ICANN (ATLAS WG2). la consultation se termine le 11 avril 2009 https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?la_structure_et_la_gouvernance_futu res_de_l_icann_al_alac_st_0309_2_fr Déclaration sur le nouveau processus pour le lancement concernant Les nouveaux noms de domaine générique de premier niveau, notamment les noms de domaine internationalisés (ATLAS WG3).

April 3, 2009

Estimados miembros, Les informamos que la consultación pública en inglés, francés y español sobre las declaraciones de los cinco grupos de trabajo de la cumbre de At-Large está abierta ahora para sus comentarios. En su reunión del 24 de marzo, el comité ALAC decidió que cada una de las declaraciones de los cinco grupos de trabajo servirían no solo como resultado de la cumbre At-Large sino también de recomendación a la junta ejecutiva de la ICANN. (Véase http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/alac-announce_atlarge-lists.icann.o rg/2009q2/000175.html) Como consecuencia de la decisión aprobada por el comité de l¹ ALAC en su teleconferencia del 24 de marzo, las declaraciones de la cumbre se comentarán por toda la comunidad de alcance, At-Large, para que cada uno/a de los miembros de At-Large pueda expresarse sobre éstas. Además, eso permitirá a los miembros cuyo idioma de trabajo es el francés o el español de tener así la oportunidad de poder aportar sus comentarios sobre cada una de estas cinco declaraciones. Sírvase activar en el vínculo abajo mencionado el botón comment¹ (comentario) de las páginas Wiki para poder registrar sus comentarios sobre la declaración. Cuando un período de consulta es inferior a 30 días, eso significa que existe al mismo tiempo, en paralelo, una consulta de toda la comunidad de la ICANN sobre el asunto.

Delivery Delays on At-Large Mailing Lists
by At-Large Staff April 2, 2009

April 2, 2009

Dear Community: Our mailing list hosting provider experienced some technical issues related to the monthly password reminder function of the mailman server on Wednesday. As a result, there was a fairly large queue of outgoing messages. Our host believes they have the issues resolved, however you may notice that some messages you sent arrive on the list later than we are accustomed to. We hope that you all will accept their apologies, and ours, for the delays. As you will all recall, the service we receive on our mailing lists over the past 2 1/2 years has been of a very high quality. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart, Matthias Langenegger, Heidi Ullrich, Marie-Hélène Bouchoms ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org
