Beat me to saying that Adam :-)... and I've also asked if this is really very low figure this far OUT from the close of registrations for ICANN Meetings (and when even sponsored travelers have only just or not yet had their arrangement confirmed) I also remain *unconvinced* that this 'point of concern' is a highly valid one OR a winning argument to me at least=> but YES please Do ALL Register and pass the encouraging word onto other to as well...

Re: [ALAC] [At-Large] Strategic Planning 2010-2013 - draft ALAC comments
by Sébastien Bachollet Jan. 21, 2010

Jan. 21, 2010

Hello Siva, Thanks for your comments. We have had some discussion about the financing of all those events and I am not convince that we will be able to have that organize in one single 3 years plan. I am ideal world yes a GA in each region during a 2 years period (the time for ICANN to go in Each regions) and a Summit in the next 2 years cycle. But with all the other issue At-Large have to take care of, I think if we can have a GA in each region during the next plan and a Summit after that it will be not too bad. Also this 3 years will allow each region to reach more ALSes and to involve them in policy work.

Information on the HSTLD advisory group
by Heidi Ullrich Jan. 16, 2010

Jan. 16, 2010

Dear All, An action item from the 22 December 2009 ALAC meeting was for staff to provide you with information on the HSTLD advisory group. Dave Piscitello, Senior Security Technologist at ICANN, has provided the following information on this advisory group: The HSTLD advisory group is reviewing the concept paper published in conjunction with DAGv3. The group will assist ICANN staff (primarily security team and services) in (1) reviewing the public comments, (2) studying the merits of the verification program, (3) assess the risks the HSTLD should address/mitigate, and ultimately, (4) revise the concept paper and provide finer details for the program elements. Andy Welch is the lead consultant from KPMG, which has been hired by the ICANN CISA to assist staff in new TLD security initiatives. KPMG participated in the composition of the original concept paper, which was developed based on the malicious conduct explanatory memorandum and requirements submitted to ICANN staff from financial, law enforcement, security, and anti-phishing communities. The concept paper noted above is available at: http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/high-security-zone-verification-04… A briefing paper related to this group is available at: http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/briefing-hstld-24nov09-en.pdf The HSTLD advisory group webpage is available at: http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/hstld-program-en.htm Please let us know if you would like any additional information on this advisory group.

Re: [ALAC] At-Large voices in Policy Podcast
by Cheryl Langdon-Orr Jan. 13, 2010

Jan. 13, 2010

Hi Scott thanks for the reply (and I hope there is not too much residual rust ;-) I've copied At-Large staff and our ALAC working list as I'd like to see (at least) two things happen:- 1. the Regions have a listen to and discuss this pilot episode in their upcoming monthly meetings (with a view to a more fulsome discussion at our OneDay meeting on the Sunday at Nairobi where we are looking at ways to better engage 'our public' and 'members'... 2. We all look at what use of volunteers we might be able to organize and other 'work around plans'... Certainly I know the AfRALO, APRALO & LACRALO leadership would be very keen to look at this opportunity to better engage and outreach to local community in the plethora of language we have in our regions and I fully expect EURALO to feel the same though of course there is a greater use of EN as a second language in many of their ALSes... So I expect ofter we 'do a bit of brainstorming' we'll be getting back to you real soon... :-) <copy of original message from Scott pasted here> Hi Cheryl, I thought I'd send you a sneak preview of how the policy podcast is progressing, especially since you kindly facilitated my recording some At-Large voices in Seoul. During January, we will try to produce one more episode of the podcast. We are targeting 1 Feb. for the "Grand Opening" of a new E-Learning page on the ICANN site, and we hope to launch it with three podcast episodes ready to go. Then, we'll add another every month. The E-Learning page will also aggregate webinars and audio briefings; a one-stop shop for learning about ICANN issues via new media. The episode with the new opening is too large to email, but you can download it from my 4shared account: http://www.4shared.com/file/176082994/e98c4fe5/Start_Ep01.html Hope you like it -- and thanks again for At-Large's contribution! -- . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [ALAC] Final Draft of White Paper on At-Large Board Member Selection (ABS) and Appointment process for your pre release feedback
by Evan Leibovitch Jan. 11, 2010

Jan. 11, 2010

2010/1/10 Adam Peake <ajp(a)glocom.ac.jp> I'd like to white paper to make clear At Large believes it essential it has > a second Director position, and until such time as there is a second voting > Director the liaison should remain. > The scope of the White Paper was intended to be limited to the mechanics of choosing a Director, with the desired result being a process that would be presented to -- and endorsed by -- the Board. The White Paper identified weaknesses in having a single Director but did not engage in direct advocacy for a position that has -- at least for now -- been explicitly rejected by the Board. I agree that the push for second director/liaison still needs to be made, but I'm not sure that a process recommendation is the place to do it. The paper doesn't recommend the size of the slate/number of candidates on > the ballot, but I get the sense it might be quite late (12+) Or am I > missing something? > That was explicitly discussed. Under the original process that was developed at the NARALO brainstorm, this might well have been the result. Under the process recommended in the White Paper, the ABSC would be charged with finding qualified candidates and producing a list. No explicit limits have yet been defined, but the White Paper suggests that it should be between two and four for any given election. Once that initial list is released, "petition" candidates that were rejected by the ABSC can be put back on the ballot. While there has been no limit on the number of petition candidates, they will require endorsement by three RALOs so there should not be many added this way. The final recommendation may have explicit limits if we wish. > If RALO's can direct how their delegates vote then the processes the RALO > uses to decide on which candidate to vote for should be transparent, rules > made clear before hand. > Agreed. The proposal is that the Chair of each RALO will have a directed vote -- it is up to each region's RoP whether its ALAC representatives may be directed in the same manner. One option is to automate the process, so that the preference of the ALSs is submitted directly as a vote without the Chair's intervention. That will work, at least, for a single round. - Evan
