Moderation of Jeff Williams
by At-Large Staff Aug. 7, 2008

Aug. 7, 2008

Dear List Members: On Tuesday 5th August, Jeff Williams was notified by the Chair of the ALAC that further off-topic postings such as that entitled ³How to carjack a top Google exec, according to Google² would result in his posting privileges on the public At-Large list being revoked, for a time to be decided by the ALAC. Since that notification, further off-topic postings have been sent, and as a consequence we have been asked to suspend his posting privileges. He will continue to receive messages from the list, however, posts sent to the list will be bounced back to him automatically. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart, Matthias Langenegger, Frederic Teboul ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org

Mailing list duplication
by Alan Greenberg Aug. 7, 2008

Aug. 7, 2008

The ALAC and (presumably) the ALAC-Internal list includes the ALAC, RALO management and ICANN staff. The At-Large list is a self-selected list of people which (at the moment) includes all ALAC members, but not not several of the RALO people. The RALO lists include an unknown subset/superset of these same people. Somehow we need to rationalize this. Some questions that come to mind are: - Where do we want substantive discussions with users to take place. - Are ALAC and RALO people obliged to read the At-Large list and comment when appropriate. - Should the RALO lists be identified as being exclusively for issues that are relevant to that RALO only? Are there more question that we need to consider.? Are there any reasonable answers which will allow interaction with people outside of this lists's members, but will avoid needless cross posting? Alan PS The issue came up in my mind because I am about to post a message on the RAA and see no way to hit a reasonable cross-section of people without cross-posting.

Registrar Accreditation Agreement Revistions
by Alan Greenberg Aug. 6, 2008

Aug. 6, 2008

The comment period for the RAA revisions closed on Aug 4. All comments can be seen at http://forum.icann.org/lists/raa-consultation/ There are some very thoughtful and relevant contributions. In specific, I draw your attention to one by the US Dept. of Commerce at http://forum.icann.org/lists/raa-consultation/msg00061.html. Note that for some unknown reason, some of the attachments have had their filetype changes from .doc or .pdf to .bin, so it may take some extra effort to open them. They seem safe to open if you use the correct application program. Alan
