Re: [ALAC] [OFFLIST] Revised Schedule for 2019 ALAC Monthly Rotating Calls

I didn't say anything about At-Large. I believe the ALAC list (alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org) is the joint list you are looking for, but I will be working on mailing lists tomorrow and over the weekend and will confirm.

Sending to the ALAC-Members list in addition to a public list is problematic as everyone may reply to the "private list" and some people may reply ONLY to that private list. Moreover, we generally encourage others to attend ALAC meetings and you are excluding those who are not official "leaders" by using these lists.

Re: [ALAC] ccNSO Updates October - November 2018 - Results of the Council Elections for European Region
by Barrack Otieno Nov. 26, 2018

Nov. 26, 2018

Dear ALAC The voting in the elections for the position of ccNSO council member - European region closed last week, on Thursday, 22 November 2018 (23:59 UTC). This is to inform you about the election results. In accordance to the applicable rules, two candidates from the European region were nominated, seconded and accepted their nomination. Consequently, an election was held among the ccNSO members of the European Region according to the timeline previously agreed upon by the ccNSO Council. Election Results Only ccNSO members from a Geographic Region are allowed to vote for candidates to the ccNSO Council from that Geographic Region. When the ballots were distributed, the ccNSO counted 44 members from the European region. Out of 44 ccNSO members from the European region, 34 members (77%) casted their votes: Marta Moreira Dias received 6 votes, Nick Wenban-Smith received 28 votes. There were no members that voted for the option “none of the above”. Next Steps The Election Report as prepared by the Election Manager, will be discussed at the ccNSO Council meeting on 6 December. As only one candidate was nominated and seconded within the nomination period for the African, Asia-Pacific, Latin American / Caribbean and North American regions, no elections needed to be held in those regions. Since at the close of nominations there are no more valid candidates in the aforementioned geographic regions than there are seats on the ccNSO Council available for those regions, then the nominated candidates shall be selected to serve on the ccNSO Council.

Re: [ALAC] ccNSO Updates October - November 2018
by Barrack Otieno Nov. 20, 2018

Nov. 20, 2018

Dear Colleagues, I would like to share a brief update from the ccNSO. There has been limited activity since we left Barcelona but there is some news nonetheless Whats New? ccPDP Working Group Meeting The working group held its meeting on 15th November 2018 at 17:00 UTC. The meeting was a followup on the face to face deliberations held in Barcelona which included a mind maps exercise. Some of the scenarios that were tested included: 1. Time required by a ccTLD to complete the retirement process. Some groups were for shorter period of times for example 2 to five years. Those who supported the shorter time period argued that it would provide necessary pressure to the ccTLD Manager to complete the process. Other groups proposed 10 years. The argument was it would allow registries and registrants to make the necessary transition without pressure. The next meeting will be on 29 November 2018. 2. What would happen to codes that had been retired in the event that a country reverted to its old name for example Democratic Republic of Congo (.CD) Reverts to Zaire (.ZR) Study Group on use of Emoji as TLDs The Study Group will release its final report in KOBE. Some ccNSO Councillors felt that there is need for a deeper understanding on the potential value of emoji as TLDs and that the current scenario in which use of emoji is viewed from a negative standpoint because of the confusing similarity that might affect end users should be changed. ccNSO Council Meeting The ccNSO November meeting was cancelled since it fell on the last day of the United Nations Internet Governance Forum that took place last week. Since most Councillors were actively participating in the IGF, a decision was made to merge the meeting with the December meeting which will be held on 6th December 2018 New ccNSO Members Since the ICANN meeting in Barcelona three new members have joined the ccNSO. .TD (Chad) .li (Liechtenstein) .CH (Switzerland This brings the total number of ccNSO Members to 171 Election Notice: ccNSO Council , European Region The elections for the position of ccNSO Council Member - European Region started on Thursday 8 November 2017 (00:01 UTC) and will close on Thursday , 22 November (23:59 UTC). Two candidates Marta Moreira Dias (.PT) and Nick Wenban-Smith (.UK) from the European Region were nominated, seconded and have accepted their nomination. There will be no elections in the Africa Region. Adebiyi Oladipo from .NG (Nigeria) was the sole nominee and will replace Engineer Abibu Ntahigiye from .TZ (Tanzania) in Kobe. For detailed summaries of the sessions and recordings kindly visit the ccNSO - ALAC Liaison wiki page. Stay tuned. Regards
