by ICANN At-Large Staff Oct. 9, 2020

Oct. 9, 2020

Dear All, Maureen Hilyard, ALAC Chair, has requested that a call for nominations be issued for the other four members of the next year's ALAC Leadership Team (ALT) from the four remaining regions: - Africa - Europe - Latin America and Caribbean Islands - North America Maureen Hilyard, as ALAC Chair, will automatically take the APRALO ALT slot. The terms of the 2020-2021 ALT will begin at the end of the 2020 AGM until the end of the 2021 AGM. This selection is carried out in accordance with the ALAC Rules of Procedure Section 17.3 (RoPs - https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Rules+of+Procedure?preview=/226…) Nominations may be made by any current ALAC Member. Nominees need not be an ALAC Member at the time of the nominations, but must have an expectation of being an ALAC Member after the completion of the upcoming virtual ICANN69 Meeting. Requirements for ALT members can be found in Section 6 of the ALAC RoPs. In short, ALT members are expected to attend all ALAC meetings, typically two ALT or ALT-related meetings per month, and be very responsive and thoughtful to e-mail requests and discussions. By mutual agreement, ALT members may take on additional roles. Vice-Chairs are expected to take on proportionally larger responsibilities. All ALT activities are carried out solely in English. The nomination period is now open and will close on Monday, 5 October 2020 at 23:59 UTC. Nominations need not be seconded. Nominations, other than self-nominations, must be accepted by Monday, 12 October 2020 at 23:59 UTC. Nominations and acceptances should be sent to the ALAC List [alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org] Staff will forward all acceptances to [alac-announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org<mailto:alac-announce@atlarge-lists.icann.org>]. In accordance with ALAC RoP 16.3, following the close of the nominations period and the acceptance or rejection of all nominations, candidates from regions where the position is not contested will be declared to have won by acclamation. If there are multiple candidates from any region, the candidates, in conjunction with the ALAC, will be given the opportunity to resolve the situation. Failing that, a secret vote of the ALAC will decide the winner.

DUE IN ONE WEEK: Interaction with the ICANN Board during ICANN69 From: Maarten Botterman, ICANN Board Chair Dear ICANN Community Group Chairs, Please reply no later than Monday, 5 October 2020. While 2020 has proven challenging and likely very different from what we were all expecting when we last saw each other almost a year ago in Montréal, the Board and I keep being impressed and grateful for your continued dedication to ICANN’s mission. The Board still values its dialogue with your groups and is very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 22nd and first ever virtual Annual General Meeting that will take place between 13-22 October 2020. As you keep working on the format for ICANN69, we would like to start preparing for community dialogue with the Board. As per what we did in Montréal and virtually for ICANN67, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We will also publish the list of questions or topics received using this digest as a successful tool for improving transparency and allowing other groups to deepen their own understanding of their peers’ point of view on different issues. As for time allocation, per what we did previously, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board has chosen the following topic to have an open discussion with you: - Enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model - key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation, you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation and the work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model, such as the Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) Final Report and work on prioritization and budgeting). We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations, board-ops-team(a)icann.org <#m_-7055979414529085938_>, your single topic or list of questions, in order of priority, no later than Monday, 5 October 2020 or sooner. For your information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively and virtually. Best regards, Maarten Botterman ICANN Board Chair REMINDER: ICANN69 Prep Week Schedule Now Available ICANN org recently announced <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qscrHeUgBLVThOlt-YV9mmwsw1ZzjPgpoi4YK8xWEKBf…> the ICANN69 Prep Week schedule.

Fwd: ICANN News Alert -- IANA Naming Function Review Team Community Webinar
by Maureen Hilyard Sept. 24, 2020

Sept. 24, 2020

[image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *IANA Naming Function Review Team Community Webinar <https://newsalerts.icann.org/q2EC0d08PD0N0302R0ga002>* 24 September 2020 LOS ANGELES – 21 September 2020 – Today, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Naming Function Review Team (IFRT) has announced that it is in the final stages of completing its Initial Report. The IFRT will be holding a webinar for the community regarding one of their proposed recommendations that would require an amendment to the IANA Naming Functions Contract <https://newsalerts.icann.org/E0d0C0gERb80N02E2300P02> between the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and its affiliate Public Technical Identifiers (PTI). This amendment may be of particular interest to country code top-level domain (ccTLD) and generic top-level domain (gTLD) registry operators. Per the ICANN Bylaws <https://newsalerts.icann.org/z0282dP0000RNc32CgF0E00>, Article 18, Section 18.5.d.(a): "*The IFRT may recommend, among other things to the extent reasonably related to the IFR responsibilities set forth in Section 18.3, amendments to the IANA Naming Function Contract, IANA Naming Function SOW and/or the CSC Charter. The IFRT shall, at a minimum, take the following steps before an amendment to either the IANA Naming Function Contract, IANA Naming Function SOW or CSC Charter is proposed:……(iii) Conduct a public input session for ccTLD and gTLD registry operators.*" The IFRT noted that the IANA Naming Functions Contract <https://newsalerts.icann.org/E0d0C0gERb80N02E2300P02> contains a requirement relating to the formatting of IANA's monthly Root Operations Audit Reports <https://newsalerts.icann.org/v0080N3d0dPECgG2R022000> and this requirement can be considered obsolete. The IFRT therefore recommends that: *In Article 7 Section 7.1 (a) the IFRT recommends that this statement "The relevant policies under which the changes are made shall be noted within each monthly report" be removed from the contract, as it is a legacy statement from the NTIA contract that is no longer required.* The IFRT encourages all interested parties, and in particular ccTLD and gTLD registry operators, to join the scheduled informational webinar to learn more. Webinar Information *Date:* 29 September 2020 *Time:* 17:00 – 17:30 UTC *Webinar Link:* https://icann.zoom.us/j/96824197988?pwd=TGpISnFnck1TblpQdkthd0lHUzRxdz09 <https://newsalerts.icann.org/dd0Pg2eN320E800R0H020C0> *Passcode:* IFRT_09/29 A recording of the webinar will be made available on the IFRT's Wiki page <https://newsalerts.icann.org/m000NI20002d2Pg8R3f0CE0> and you may submit questions and comments at any time via their public email list input-to-IFRT(a)icann.org <https://newsalerts.icann.org/TJNC30g020008Rg20P02dE0>. For more information on the webinar, click here <https://newsalerts.icann.org/uhN0008R0P0d0K023g2CE20>. About IFR The IANA Naming Functions Review (IFR) is one of the accountability mechanisms created as part of the IANA stewardship transition to ensure that ICANN, via its affiliate Public Technical Identifiers (PTI), meets the needs and expectations of its naming customers. About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world. About PTI Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) is an affiliate of ICANN responsible for performing the IANA functions, which include management of the Domain Name System root zone, the global Internet Protocol address space and other protocol parameters that support Internet operation. PTI was formed in 2016 following a transition of stewardship to the multistakeholder community that relies upon the IANA functions. PTI performs the IANA functions under contract with ICANN.

REMINDER: Interaction with the ICANN Board during ICANN69 From: Maarten Botterman, ICANN Board Chair Dear ICANN Community Group Chairs, Please reply no later than Monday, 5 October 2020. While 2020 has proven challenging and likely very different from what we were all expecting when we last saw each other almost a year ago in Montréal, the Board and I keep being impressed and grateful for your continued dedication to ICANN’s mission. The Board still values its dialogue with your groups and is very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 22nd and first ever virtual Annual General Meeting that will take place between 13-22 October 2020. As you keep working on the format for ICANN69, we would like to start preparing for community dialogue with the Board. As per what we did in Montréal and virtually for ICANN67, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We will also publish the list of questions or topics received using this digest as a successful tool for improving transparency and allowing other groups to deepen their own understanding of their peers’ point of view on different issues. As for time allocation, per what we did previously, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board has chosen the following topic to have an open discussion with you: - Enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model - key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation, you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation and the work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model, such as the Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) Final Report and work on prioritization and budgeting). We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations, board-ops-team(a)icann.org <#m_-5250977910965265470_>, your single topic or list of questions, in order of priority, no later than Monday, 5 October 2020 or sooner. For your information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively and virtually. Best regards, Maarten Botterman ICANN Board Chair REMINDER: ICANN69 Internet Access Reimbursement Program Pilot ICANN previously announced <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001o5j0lkXkxixiwIO9_QC8w6-8eilVLdk9WeC9-lkVEK72…> the Pandemic Internet Access Program Pilot for ICANN69, following the ICANN Board resolution in support of the pilot program.

REMINDER: Interaction with the ICANN Board during ICANN69 From: Maarten Botterman, ICANN Board Chair Dear ICANN Community Group Chairs, Please reply no later than Monday, 5 October 2020. While 2020 has proven challenging and likely very different from what we were all expecting when we last saw each other almost a year ago in Montréal, the Board and I keep being impressed and grateful for your continued dedication to ICANN’s mission. The Board still values its dialogue with your groups and is very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 22nd and first ever virtual Annual General Meeting that will take place between 13-22 October 2020. As you keep working on the format for ICANN69, we would like to start preparing for community dialogue with the Board. As per what we did in Montréal and virtually for ICANN67, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We will also publish the list of questions or topics received using this digest as a successful tool for improving transparency and allowing other groups to deepen their own understanding of their peers’ point of view on different issues. As for time allocation, per what we did previously, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board has chosen the following topic to have an open discussion with you: - Enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model - key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation, you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation and the work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model, such as the Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) Final Report and work on prioritization and budgeting). We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations, board-ops-team(a)icann.org <#m_-7772075639179976675_>, your single topic or list of questions, in order of priority, no later than Monday, 5 October 2020 or sooner. For your information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively and virtually. Best regards, Maarten Botterman ICANN Board Chair REMINDER: ICANN69 Internet Access Reimbursement Program Pilot ICANN previously announced <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00121-4t4dOYEF8Aw5Sa-q4QpMAyIhywvLEELqlw3MlMQzK…> the Pandemic Internet Access Program Pilot for ICANN69, following the ICANN Board resolution in support of the pilot program.

Maureen, please do not say things like "But what replaces our more accustomed reward for effort - of attending an ICANN meeting in some exotic place around the world?"!! I am sure that for some, it is quite true that they volunteer for the travel rewards, but it is NOT the case for many, and it reflects SO BADLY on us. I have been to MANY exotic places on ICANN's dime. only rarely have I taken the time to experience them. And I have been to MANY places that I had no interest in visiting. If every ICANN meeting were held at a Los Angeles airport hotel, my attendance would not be different, and I suspect that is the same for you. So let's not encourage the concept that we consider travel a reward.

Agreed. Although the value of our volunteer contributions is great, we need to remember a few other things. - Perhaps not for us, but for many in ICANN, what is deemed to be "volunteer" time is really being paid for by employers as parts of their jobs. Not all, but a lot. - Placing a value on what we generate is very difficult and is very mush in the eye of the beholder. - We have NO idea what it costs ICANN to support us. Despite decades of us asking, that is still the case. So although we might be able to develop a value to the contribution we made based on people's time, it is only part of the equation.

Meeting with Goran 22 September 16.00utc.
by Maureen Hilyard Sept. 18, 2020

Sept. 18, 2020

Hi everyone I noted that in the threads related to discussions with Goran (and wrt the ALAC-Board meeting at ICANN69) there were references made to matters that were raised in the Workload Survey so that I am bending towards using this interaction with Goran as an opportunity to address some of our workload issues related to ICANN meetings and our work with ICANN in general. I sent the Workload survey to Goran and others and soon after, had an opportunity to speak to it during our 1:1 discussion (as one of his normal SOAC Chair chats). He was sympathetic to the workload issues that were raised, and I asked whether perhaps ICANN should look at how they might appropriately recognise the work that is being done by some very active At-Large participants at their own cost - of precious down-time, energy, internet costs as well as the intellectual contribution they make on a weekly basis, all for the benefit of ICANN, with no expectation of compensation. Is it really acceptable in this day and age that people are expected to have such a high level of input into an important organisational output, for free? Especially in light of what many are also experiencing with regards to pandemic conditions and the impacts it is having on their daily lives? That volunteers across ICANN remain committed to this level of giving is really amazing. But what replaces our more accustomed reward for effort - of attending an ICANN meeting in some exotic place around the world? In the middle of a pandemic, do we have any answers? Another topical discussion also mentioned in the Workload survey, and which was also raised in our SOAC Chairs meeting this week, was the idea of regional meetings. Goran suggested that things may have to be different for the future of ICANN meetings. If you have any suggestions as alternatives, then I am sure that he would be happy to hear them. I am re-attaching the report in case you can't find it. The discussion should be interesting. Just to add, Leon will also be at the meeting, but he will be giving his usual update on Board activities. Maybe he will have further news on the Internet Grant. Comments welcome. Maureen

While 2020 has proven challenging and likely very different from what we were all expecting when we last saw each other almost a year ago in Montréal, the Board and I keep being impressed and grateful for your continued dedication to ICANN’s mission. The Board still values its dialogue with your groups and is very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 22nd and first ever virtual Annual General Meeting that will take place between 13-22 October 2020. As you keep working on the format for ICANN69, we would like to start preparing for community dialogue with the Board. As per what we did in Montréal and virtually for ICANN67, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We will also publish the list of questions or topics received using this digest as a successful tool for improving transparency and allowing other groups to deepen their own understanding of their peers’ point of view on different issues. As for time allocation, per what we did previously, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board has chosen the following topic to have an open discussion with you: - Enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model - key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation, you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation and the work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model, such as the Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) Final Report and work on prioritization and budgeting). We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations, board-ops-team(a)icann.org <#m_-5195968351002149705_>, your single topic or list of questions, in order of priority, no later than Monday, 5 October 2020 or sooner. For your information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively and virtually. Best regards, Maarten Botterman ICANN Board Chair REMINDER: ICANN69 Internet Access Reimbursement Program Pilot ICANN previously announced <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017Y6L8fGhdudn5l0sYGVwBgJMTwUne7MPksUnpc7wcQam…> the Pandemic Internet Access Program Pilot for ICANN69, following the ICANN Board resolution in support of the pilot program.

Hi Jonathan, Just to note, I like your proposal as well, I just thought to put an alternative that would typically include yours and Joanna's as part of the discussion, but from a different perspective and with less focus.

But I would add that we have been riding on the coattails of our experiences of previous meetings. We are still mostly members of a community that has met in person in the recent past. This social capital will grow thin. It is going to be some time before big international gatherings will once again be normalized. I would guess that more regional gatherings will come back on stream well before that. I would like to see ICANN put thought, action and money into planning smaller regional gatherings so that the community can retain and grow the social capital needed for this kind of endeavour. If the lights are out for too long, I don't think improved technology will keep the energy moving. Marita n 9/15/2020 8:14 AM, Carlos Gutiérrez G. wrote: Fully agree with Jonathan´s proposition.

At first blush, the community seemed uniquely prepared for a move to virtual meetings, given our already extensive use of tools such as Zoom, Skype and email. Further, the attendance even hinted at the possibility of more inclusive discourse and decision making and talk of a hybrid model for meetings became common. Of course, the reality has been somewhat different. We are reminded of the extent to which we previously postponed discussions until face to face meetings because of their greater pructivity and, frankly, greater civility. Timezones and fatigue contribute to a less than ideal environment for consensus building.. Finally, virtual meetings lack the sense of "event" that face to face meetings enjoyed. Gone is the sense of milestones that previously existed. While much of this is beyond our control, technology has a role to play in making the most of our "virtual reality." There are tools for improved discussion and decision-making such as Slack and Loomio. There are much improved tools for machine translation and greater linguistic inclusion. There are tools for improved virtual outreach. Finally there's an even greater role for ICANN Learn. The ALAC applauds the hiring of Melissa Allgood and the development of resources devoted to improved cooperation and decision-making within the community but we believe the situation demands more. The best use of the savings, realized by going virtual, is further investment in these resources and tools. Expediting the rollout of ITI (setting clear expectations and meeting them), incorporation of modern tools for offline threaded discussions and consensus building and expansion of ICANN Learn and further investment is machine translation Jonathan Zuck Executive Director Innovators Network Foundation www.InnovatorsNetwork.org<http://www.InnovatorsNetwork.org> ________________________________ From: Maureen Hilyard <maureen.hilyard(a)gmail.com><mailto:maureen.hilyard@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2020 4:17:11 AM To: Jonathan Zuck <JZuck(a)innovatorsnetwork.org><mailto:JZuck@innovatorsnetwork.org>; Olivier Crépin-Leblond <ocl(a)gih.com><mailto:ocl@gih.com>; ALAC <alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org><mailto:alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org> Subject: Fwd: [ICANN Community Leaders] PLEASE READ - Stakeholders/Board interaction ICANN69 VIRTUAL A question for the Board for the ALAC- Board interaction ICANN69... .... a single topic instead of the traditional three that we usually never got through.

At first blush, the community seemed uniquely prepared for a move to virtual meetings, given our already extensive use of tools such as Zoom, Skype and email. Further, the attendance even hinted at the possibility of more inclusive discourse and decision making and talk of a hybrid model for meetings became common. Of course, the reality has been somewhat different. We are reminded of the extent to which we previously postponed discussions until face to face meetings because of their greater pructivity and, frankly, greater civility. Timezones and fatigue contribute to a less than ideal environment for consensus building.. Finally, virtual meetings lack the sense of "event" that face to face meetings enjoyed. Gone is the sense of milestones that previously existed. While much of this is beyond our control, technology has a role to play in making the most of our "virtual reality." There are tools for improved discussion and decision-making such as Slack and Loomio. There are much improved tools for machine translation and greater linguistic inclusion. There are tools for improved virtual outreach. Finally there's an even greater role for ICANN Learn. The ALAC applauds the hiring of Melissa Allgood and the development of resources devoted to improved cooperation and decision-making within the community but we believe the situation demands more. The best use of the savings, realized by going virtual, is further investment in these resources and tools. Expediting the rollout of ITI (setting clear expectations and meeting them), incorporation of modern tools for offline threaded discussions and consensus building and expansion of ICANN Learn and further investment is machine translation are imperative. The normal cadence of ICANN infrastructure evolution is insufficient in this new reality. The board has an opportunity to lead the ICANN community, and the Multistakeholder model itself, into a new era of more inclusion and diversity and the ALAC is here to help.

Thank Maureen. I propose a discussion on how to make use of the new opportunities and challenges to build a more robust ICANN community that can promote ICANN's global public interest role. The board and At-Large will discuss the opportunities that might have come with the COVID-19 pandemic and how the challenges were addressed. Further, we will discuss ICANN's public interest role in relation to new initiatives like the new gTLDs program and the gTLD registration data and the role of the At-Large community in particular.
