Murray can also bring a fresh look to this position. Also, as a fairly new comer to ALAC it will help him in enhancing his understanding and networking contacts both within the GNSO and ICANN as a whole. -ed On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 7:04 PM, ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>> wrote: Dear All, Please see below the call for nominations for the positon of 2015 ALAC Liaison to the GNSO sent on behalf of Olivier Crépin-Leblond, Chair of the ALAC.

[ICANN]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-09-15-en ________________________________ Alan Greenberg Selected as Next ALAC Chair Alan Greenberg, a long-time member of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), has been selected as the next ALAC Chair.

Greenberg was appointed to the ALAC by the Nominating Committee for the terms 2006-2008, 2008-2010, 2012-2014 and will begin a fourth two-year term at ICANN 51. In addition to serving on the ALAC, Greenberg has served as the ALAC Liaison to the GNSO between 2006 through 2014. In addition to his experience with At-Large, Greenberg recently served on the second Accountability Transparency Review Team (ATRT2), representing the ALAC perspective on ICANN's overall accountability and transparency. Greenberg has more than 45 years of experience with computing and networking technologies. For much of his career, he worked for McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Over the years, this included software design and development, education technology support, management and policy development. He was one of a handful of people who brought the Internet and its predecessor networks to Canada and worked on a variety of Canadian and international networking initiatives. He has taught courses in computer architecture and design, as well as managed the Internet Society (ISOC) workshops which taught personnel from 150 developing countries how to build, support, manage and use the Internet in their countries. He was also an elected member of the ISOC Board of Trustees from 2001-2004. After his retirement from McGill, he continued to focus on the effective use of technology in developing countries. Projects included how to effectively spread the use of technology to benefit the country and its people; and a study of the linkages between technology and poverty, and how technologies can be effectively used for poverty alleviation, and how web and specifically mobile technologies can benefit developing populations. Throughout his career, he has focused on how technology can be made accessible to the widest possible audience and the empowerment of people through the use of technology. Greenberg holds a BSc degree in Mathematics and Physics, and an MSc in Computer Science, both from McGill University.

ICANN News Alert -- Registry and Registrar WHOIS Service Clarifications
by ICANN At-Large Staff Sept. 15, 2014

Sept. 15, 2014

[ICANN]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-09-12-en ________________________________ Registry and Registrar WHOIS Service Clarifications 12 September 2014 ICANN announces clarifications to the WHOIS specifications in ICANN agreements. To help support registry and registrar implementation and ease the path for compliance with the specifications, ICANN is announcing clarification to the Registration Data Directory Service (RDDS), which is commonly known as WHOIS. The clarifications are in response to input from both registries and registrars regarding the RDDS specification and intended to aid contracted parties in complying with Registry Agreements (RA) and Registrar Accreditation Agreements (RAAs). The document, "Clarifications to the New gTLD Registry Agreement, Specification 4; and the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA), Registration Data Directory Service (WHOIS) Specification" is published at https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/advisories-2012-02-25-en. Most of the clarifications apply to both registries and registrars; however, the clarifications described in the second section only apply to registries, while the third section only applies to registrars. ICANN recognizes these clarifications may take some time to implement in active systems and is providing notice that it will begin enforcing compliance with these items as of 12 February 2015. One of the objectives of these clarifications is to retain the ability to easily parse the output. Interested users are encouraged to consider the clarifications when developing parsers for RDDS output. There are 37 clarifications specified in the advisory<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/registry-agreement-spec4-raa-rdds-201…>, with some being required and others being optional. The document includes, but is not limited to, clarifications relating to formatting guidelines, field definitions, service level requirements, and pre-delegation testing specifications.
