Election by At-Large ICANN Board
by Sébastien Bachollet Nov. 27, 2016

Nov. 27, 2016

English -- Español ê -- Français ê ê Dear Colleagues, After talking to all those of you whom I was lucky enough to share time with during our last meeting in Hyderabad, I have decided to run for the seat 15 elected by At-Large on the ICANN Board. The Internet tends to become more and more split into separate lands. One World, One Internet must remain the main goal of ICANN and At-Large. ICANN needs to foresee the coming four billions of Internet end-users, and prepare to serve, and listen to, a much wider and more diverse user community. The representation of the current Internet users still needs to be improved and a second Board member selected by At-Large is more necessary than ever. There are urgent tasks that will only be undertaken if At-Large succeeds in building consensus within the Board. Let us note that the Board will have to elect a new Chair in 2017. It is good that At-Large has an effective choice between several candidates. Moreover, exercising a choice is a way to be more accountable to the whole organization. I put my experience at the disposal of At-Large and will participate humbly and enthusiastically in the selection process. Good luck to all. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Estimados colegas, Después de hablar con todos aquellos de ustedes con quienes tuve la suerte de compartir tiempo durante nuestra última reunión en Hyderabad, he decidido postularme para el puesto 15, elegido por At-Large, de la Junta Directiva de ICANN. Internet tiende cada vez más a estar dividido en varios terrenos separados. Un Mundo, Un Internet debe seguir siendo el objetivo principal de ICANN y At-Large. ICANN debe prever a los próximos cuatro mil millones de usuarios de Internet y prepararse para servir y escuchar una comunidad de usuarios mucho más amplia y diversa. También hay que mejorar representación de los usuarios de Internet actuales. Un segundo miembro de la Junta seleccionado por At-Large es más necesario que nunca. Hay tareas urgentes que sólo se emprenderán si At-Large consigue consensuar en la Junta. Señalemos que la Junta tendrá que elegir un nuevo Presidente en 2017. Afortunadamente, At-Large puede hacer una verdadera elección entre varios candidatos. Además, el ejercer esta opción permite ser más responsable ante toda la organización. Ofrezco mi experiencia a At-Large y participaré con humildad y entusiasmo en el proceso de selección. Buena suerte a todos. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Chers collègues, Après avoir parlé à tous ceux d'entre vous avec qui j'ai eu la chance de partager lors de notre dernière réunion à Hyderabad, j'ai décidé de me porter candidat au siège 15, élu par At-Large, du Conseil d'administration de l'ICANN. Internet tend à devenir de plus en plus divisé en territoires séparés. Un Monde, un Internet doit rester l'objectif principal de l'ICANN et d'At-Large. L'ICANN doit prévoir l¹arrivée des prochains quatre milliards d'utilisateurs d'Internet et se préparer à servir et écouter une communauté d'utilisateurs beaucoup plus importante et plus diversifiée. La représentation des utilisateurs d'Internet actuels doit encore être améliorée. Un deuxième membre du Conseil d¹administration choisi par At-Large est plus que jamais nécessaire. Il y a des tâches urgentes qui ne seront entreprises que si At-Large réussit à établir un consensus au sein du Conseil d¹administration. Notons que le Conseil devra élire un nouveau Président en 2017. Il est réjouissant que At-Large puisse faire un vrai choix, parmi plusieurs candidats. En outre, le fait d¹exercer ce choix permet de faire preuve de responsabilité à l¹égard de l¹ensemble de l'organisation. Je mets mon expérience à disposition d¹At-Large et je participerai avec humilité et enthousiasme au processus de sélection. Bonne chance à tous.

ICANN Board Director Selected by the At-Large
by Rinalia Abdul Rahim Nov. 18, 2016

Nov. 18, 2016

Dear members of the At-Large community, I write to let you know that due to personal reasons, I will not be applying for a second term as the At-Large selected Director on the ICANN Board. I encourage those interested in the position to apply. Please excuse the short notice as my family needed the time to discuss the matter with me. I care deeply about the quality of my service to the public interest and to the community. I know that without sufficient time available, I would not be able to do them justice. After the Hyderabad meeting, I became aware of constraints on the time that I will have available to serve effectively in a second term I have received tremendous support and encouragement from the community, board and staff in my years of service. It has made it an absolute joy for me to serve despite the heavy demands on time. I commit to completing my current term with the same level of dedication that I have demonstrated to date, and I urge those interested in carrying the baton forward to apply for the position so that the At-Large may choose from a strong pool of qualified candidates. Thank you so much for your support and faith in me. It has been, and continues to be, my absolute privilege and honour to serve. Sincerely, Rinalia Abdul Rahim ICANN Board Director selected by the At-Large (2014-2017)

Consensus Call: ALAC Support for reduced scope RDS Review
by Alan Greenberg Nov. 18, 2016

Nov. 18, 2016

As detailed in my message of 02 November (http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/alac/2016-November/009877.html) and discussed in Hyderabad during At-Large Leadership Working Session 2, there is a proposal on the table to limit the rds (formerly WHOIS) Review to looking at the implementation of the first WHOIS Review. The main reason is that there are several ongoing activities to revise WHOIS and it would duplicate effort (and involve many of the same people) if we were to do a full blown Review. If agreed to by AC/SOs, this will shorten the review and the review team will be focused on people who are particularly familiar with the first WHOIS Review recommendations. The current version of the proposal is attached. No negative comments were registered in reply to the original e-mail or during the hyderabad meeting. With this message, I am initiating a Consensus Call of the ALAC requesting that the ALAC support this proposal. The Consensus Call will end at 23:59 on Wednesday, 23 November 2016. If there are any questions of comments, please direct them to either this list or to me directly. Although messages indicating support are welcome, they are not necessary. Should this Consensus Call fail due to significant opposition (greater than 20% as specified by ALAC RoP 12.3.3.1), we will revert to a formal vote. Alan
