FOR REVIEW: CCWG IG Charter & Amendment
by ICANN At-Large Staff March 31, 2015

March 31, 2015

Dear All, Kindly follow this link and review the Charter of the Cross Community Working Group (CCWG) on Internet Governance: https://community.icann.org/x/lQInAw. this Charter was supposed to have been approved by the ALAC several months ago, but that unfortunately never happened. Since the time the Charter was originally drafted, in the IANA Stewardship and Accountability WGs, the terms "Observers" has been replaced by the term "Participants". Also, the number is not limited and they do not require AC/SO approval to join. The Charter as drafted has already been approved by the other AC/SOs. To avoid re-voting, all chartering organizations are being asked to accept that instead of the definition of "Observers" in the Charter, we agree to use to current "Participant" definition and process. This will be further discussed at the ALAC meeting, and will be the subject of a BigPulse vote later this week. Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Ariel Liang, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie Peregrine and Terri Agnew ICANN Policy Staff in support of ALAC E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> Facebook: www.facebook.com/icann.atlarge<https://www.facebook.com/icann.atlarge> Twitter: @ICANN_AtLarge<https://twitter.com/ICANN_AtLarge>

CONSENSUS CALL: Reconstitution of the ALAC Subcommittee on Outreach
by Alan Greenberg March 16, 2015

March 16, 2015

Having had no comments in the last 9 days, wth this message, I am requesting a CONSENSUS CALL of the ALAC to approve the transformation of the ALAC Outreach Subcommittee into the ALAC Outreach and Engagement Subcommittee and the population of this SC according to the outlined process. Any negative comments by ALAC Members shuld be made no later than March 16th. For clarity, in a CONSENSUS CALL, you may choose to explicitly voice your support, but silence will be taken as agreement.

Proposed modification to mailing list subscription rules
by Alan Greenberg March 11, 2015

March 11, 2015

Cheryl is no longer technically on the list of people who should be subscribed to both the ALAC-Internal and ALT lists (any past ALAC Member may choose to stay on the ALAC list). I believe that Cheryl is a valuable person to have on both lists and would like to propose that she be kept on both lists. As we go forward, I would also suggest that we consider extending a similar courtesy to past ALAC Chairs when they would otherwise leave the lists (on a case-by-case basis). The current rules allow for membership of "Others by the explicit decision of the ALAC", so we do have the ability to take such action. Unless I hear significant opposition in the next few days, I will formally propose this to the ALAC. Comments? Alan

CONSENSUS CALL: Change in ALAC representation at the CWG IANA Transition F2F meeting
by Alan Greenberg March 6, 2015

March 6, 2015

For a number of reasons, Fatima has chosen to not attend the meeting in Istanbul. As I will already be in Istanbul for the CCWG Accountability and have been one of the more active ALAC Participants, Fatima has suggested that I attend in her place. Such a change must be a formal decision of the ALAC. However, it also had to be taken very quickly. Under Section 5.11 of the ALAC Rules of Procedure (http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2013-04) such decisions can be made by the ALAC Chair, preferably in consultation with the ALT. Since this involved me personally, I did not feel comfortable in making the decision and deferred to the other members of the ALT. They unanimously supported taking this action. According to Section 5.11, this decision must now be ratified by the ALAC. Note that Fatima has not resigned from the CWG and will be participating in the meeting remotely. This only affects her in-person attendance at the meeting. I want to personally thank Fatima for her strong support of the ALAC and the CWG process, and I thank both Fatima and the other ALT Members for their faith in me personally. I am humbled. With this message, I am requesting a CONSENSUS CALL of the ALAC to ratify the decision to name Alan Greenberg as an Alternate to Fatima Cambronero for attendance at the CWG IANA F2F meeting in Istanbul on 26-27 March. If you have any issue with this decision, I would suggest you first consult with the ALT member from your region and then, if neccesary, please let your feelings be known no later than 12 March 2015. For clarity, in a CONSENSUS CALL, you may choose to explicitly voice your support, but silence will be taken as agreement. Alan

CONSENSUS CALL: Reconstitution of CROPP Review Team
by Alan Greenberg March 6, 2015

March 6, 2015

The CROPP Review Team is currently composed of two people per Region, one from the FBSC and one from the Outreach Subcommittee. Based on deliberations of the ALAC in Singapore, the recommendation is that: - CROPP RT for the FY16 will consist of ten people, two per region. - One person from each region, representing the FBSC, from among FBSC regional Members and Participants, will be selected by the FBSC Members and Chair. This selection must be ratified by regional leadership. - One person from each region, representing the Outreach and Engagement SC, from among the Members or Participants of the Outreach and Engagement SC, will be selected by regional leadership. With this message, I am requesting a CONSENSUS CALL of the ALAC to approve the above CROPP Review Team composition. If you oppose this, please let your feelings be known no later than 12 March 2015. For clarity, in a CONSENSUS CALL, you may choose to explicitly voice your support, but silence will be taken as agreement. Alan

CONSENSUS CALL CANCELLED: Reconstitution of CROPP Review Team
by Alan Greenberg March 6, 2015

March 6, 2015

This subject was extensively discussed at the Thursday Wrap-up meeting in Singapore and my recollection is that everyone present agreed on the outcome (or at least no one objected). Clearly however, based on the discussion here, we have not reached closure. Moreover, the current CROPP-RT Chair, Dev Anand Teelucksingh could not join us remotely during that session, and I should have had the insight to consult with him prior to issuing the Consensus Call. I am therefore cancelling the Consensus Call and the discussion will be restarted once I return from vacation. Alan
