Re: [ALAC] [At-Large] "placeholder" reps not placeholders?
by Alan Greenberg Oct. 15, 2009

Oct. 15, 2009

That is what was in the re-drafted NCSG charter and what was approved by the Board as per the 30 July and 30 September Board meeting reports. Since I have not seen prior comments that focused on this particular issue, it could be that it was not recognized or considered. As one of the leaders of a potential new constituency, you should bring this to the Boards's attention (presumably through Rob or Denise).

Board request for GNSO input on specific trademark issues in the Draft Applicant Guidebook
by Alan Greenberg Oct. 14, 2009

Oct. 14, 2009

Please see the attached letter to the GNSO Council. As noted in the letter, the deadline for a GNSO Council reply is 14 December 2009. Although I am sure that this will result in immediate discussion on the GNSO mailing list (which can be found at http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/) the first opportunity to formally discuss this and decide on how to proceed will likely be in Seoul, probably starting on Saturday, 24 October. That would leave 6 weeks after Seoul to come to closure as the letter is quite explicit about this being a hard deadline. It is possible that the Council will form a working group with the potential for ALAC/At-Large involvement, but that remains to be seen. Since the Board is explicitly requesting advice from the GNSO Council, some other mechanism may be chosen. I welcome any comments or advice prior to Seoul. To the extent that such comments can represent coordinated efforts within the ALAC/At-Large instead of individual views, so much the better.

Preliminary Report of Special Board Meeting
by Sébastien Bachollet Oct. 13, 2009

Oct. 13, 2009

http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/prelim-report-30sep09.htm A lot of interesting (as usual) points. But Two of them deserve attention: JPA Progress Report >From the Board Finance Committee Approval of Lease for Palo Alto Office The Board received an update from Staff on the lease for the proposed Palo Alto office space, as required by the presence of ICANN's CEO in Palo Alto. The Board then took the following action: Whereas, ICANN has need for office space in Palo Alto, CA, U.S.A. to meet needs for current staff, including the CEO; Whereas, ICANN, as a technical coordinator of Internet identifiers, has an organizational benefit in maintaining a geographic presence in one of the leading technology centers of the world; Whereas future ICANN staff growth is likely to be outside of the existing offices in Marina del Rey, CA, and likely to increase in other parts of the U.S. and the World; Resolved (2009.09.30.14) that the ICANN Board authorize the Chief Financial Officer to negotiate for and finalize a lease for office space in Palo Alto, CA on commercially reasonable terms, for approximately 5,000 square feet of space, not to exceed a ten year term, and for total occupancy costs to start out at less than $400,000 per year, and not to exceed $600,000 per year during the lease term. One Board member abstained from voting on this resolution. All remaining Board members in attendance approved of this resolution. The resolution passed. In abstaining Director Subrenat, noted the following: " I wish to make clear that my abstention is in no way a negative reflection on Rod Beckstrom: quite on the contrary, I find he is an inspiring Chief Executive. My abstention is based on a matter of principle." "Having been much involved in the President Strategy Committee's improving institutional confidence' work, I can state that the challenge in the coming months and years for the Internet, and for ICANN, is to become more global, through more international involvement." "In this context, opening a new office in the US is not in any way a priority, and would even send a contrary message to the ICANN community worldwide." I do support the JJ Subrenat position and I want to add that the Job description was very clear: "LOCATION The position will be based in Marina del Rey, California, with travel up to 60% of the time." Maybe ICANN needs to open an office in each and every cities where there employees come from ;) All the best Sébastien Bachollet Président d'honneur - Isoc France <mailto:sebastien.bachollet@isoc.fr> sebastien.bachollet(a)isoc.fr <http://www.egeni.org/> www.egeni.org <http://www.isoc.fr/> www.isoc.fr

RES: [At-Large] ccNSO liaison + all other candidacies
by Vanda UOL Oct. 11, 2009

Oct. 11, 2009

Dear all. I have been without computer the last few days and lost some emails but want to reinforce my intention to nominee or second the following colleagues a) Cheryl Langdon-Orr to chair position b) Sebastien Bacholet to Vice chair position c) Alan Greenberg to Vice chair position + GNSO Liaison d) Carlton Samuels to Rapporteur position e) Rudi Vansnick to ccNSO liaison f) James Seng to IDN liaison best -----Mensagem original----- De: at-large-bounces(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:at-large-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] Em nome de Sébastien Bachollet Enviada em: sexta-feira, 9 de outubro de 2009 05:11 Para: 'ALAC Working List' Cc: 'At-Large Worldwide' Assunto: Re: [At-Large] ccNSO liaison Dear Rudi (and Joly and...) Please see the mail of Cheryl: [ALAC] ELECTION CALL ALAC Officers, Liaisons and Appointments for 2009 - 2010 (copy bellow). I think you need to be nominated by a current ALAC member (and seconded even if not necessary also by current ALAC members). I am please to do so. I would like to nominate Rudi Vansnick as ALAC Liaisons to the ccNSO Councils. All the best *ELECTION CALL Nominations are currently open for:* *- ALAC Liaison (other than the Board Liaison {finalised}); - ALAC Appointments (such as WHOIS AND IDN);* *- ALAC Officer Positions.* Please refer to ROP's here http://tinyurl.com/levxyf which in brief state that:- - Only ALAC members serving after the Seoul meeting may be nominated for Officer positions. - Only current ALAC members may submit nominations. - Self nominations are allowed. - For Liaisons and Appointments there are no formal restrictions regarding ALAC membership, but the ROP's say "They shall normally be persons who are current or former members of the ALAC, or are anyway familiar with the activities and functioning of ICANN and of the ALAC." It should be noted that budget allocation for travel to ICANN Meetings is only assured for serving ALAC Members and therefore a non-ALAC Member Liaison or Appointment nominee should certify to the ALAC their ability to undertake all aspects of their job descriptions (including attendance at all three ICANN Meetings), without receiving travel support to do so. *All nominations and acceptances etc., are to be sent to the public ALAC List* "ALAC Working List" <alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> All details and the repository for nominee details is found at https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?at_large_elections_2009 <https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?at_large_elections_2009> Relevant text from this page is copied below: <Start SNIP> * Other Liaison positions * The elections for ALAC Liaisons to the Bylaw mandated GNSO and ccNSO Councils as well as the SSAC, GNSO User House/NCSG/NCUC {subject to discussions at Seoul meeting and agreement from the receiving party} and the liaison appointments to IDN and WHOIS Policy Processes will be conducted through a single, global election process. The ALAC will vote on the list of candidates using the Instant Runoff Voting system< http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting>, as provided in Rule 10.4 of the ALAC Rules of Procedure. This means they will rank each candidate, from most preferred to least preferred, using the electronic voting system regularly used for ALAC voting. **Election timetable:* * During its August 4 meeting, the ALAC adopted timetable for the Liaison elections (now modified to allow call to occur after Board Liaison election is completed yet still fit with ROP's): Nominations Open/Election Call Issued: 5th October Nominations Close: 19th October Acceptance of Nominations Due By: 26th October ALAC Voting Begins: 1 November ALAC Voting Concludes: At ALAC Chair's discretion, generally votes are held over a 5 or 7 day period **Requirements and Obligations:** Please click here < https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?obligations_and_requirements_of_ala c_liaisons> for an overview on the general obligations and requirements for ALAC Liaison positions as specified by the organising instruments.
