URGENT: ICANN Fellowship Program Community Consultation
by Alan Greenberg March 21, 2018

March 21, 2018

A review of the Fellowship Program was announced on 31 January 2018. For no obvious reason, it seems to have not been acted on by me, Staff, RALO leaders and perhaps ALAC Vice-Chairs (not sure if they are on the list as they should be). The formal deadline is 30 March, but we have been granted a one week extension. A Wiki page will be created shortly. If you value the Fellowship Program, please contribute. Comments should include both what the program has (in your mind), done well and less well.

At-Large workspaces
by Maureen Hilyard March 20, 2018

March 20, 2018

Hi staff As new At-Large workspaces are created could they please be added to the Workspaces listed on the left of the At-Large Dashboard.and with current workspaces listed at the top - especially if we are trying to encourage At-Large members to access policy workspaces? It would make it a lot easier to locate and access our own workspaces rather than using the search engine which usually lists every other constituency's workspace of a similar name, even if you add "at-large".

Re: [ALAC] "Policy" t4ravel slots for Panama
by Alan Greenberg March 20, 2018

March 20, 2018

I agree that this is NOT the slot for a "newbie". As the main criteria says, it is for someone who already is actively involved but would not otherwise be able to attend. Examples that come to mind are Daniel Nanghaka, Justine Chew and Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong.

"Policy" t4ravel slots for Panama
by Alan Greenberg March 19, 2018

March 19, 2018

We have a short time to do the call for travellers for the "policy slots". Last time, the criteria were summarized in the call for expressions of interest as: There are two travel slots that will be allocated to At-Large participants who are ACTIVELY involved in some ICANN policy activity, or those with a strong history of such involvement in the past and an interest to restart. Those include gNSO or ccNSO PDPs, CCWGs, ALAC support Working Groups and the At-Large Review (with a lesser emphasis on the latter). Other slots may be opened due to other travellers not being able to attend or not requiring full funding. During the selection, we decided that to the extent practical, we should also tried to select people who had not been previously selected. I an recommending doing that again, and also, to the extent possible, try to identify people who will best benefit from the extensive policy discussions we expect in Panama. Are there other criteria that we should consider. As in the past, the selection will be done by the RALO chairs and me, to best identify local talent who need to be favoured. The call needs to be made very soon, so please contact me quickly if you have input. Alan

It means people who previously were VERY active in policy issues, stopped for a while for some reason, and are now saying that they will be restarting. Alan At 18/03/2018 09:56 PM, Maritza Y.

Re: [ALAC] [Travelers] PLEASE READ - NEW SESSION INFORMATION ICANN61
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond March 14, 2018

March 14, 2018

Dear Gisella, as the TTF has tested out using ZOOM and set it up with local tech staff, will the other meetings of the At-Large be using Zoom rooms? Will agendas be amended accordingly for people to be able to attend remotely? How will remote participants be informed of the Zoom Room that they need to go into?

News from the GAC meeting
by Yrjö Länsipuro March 10, 2018

March 10, 2018

Dear all, At the GAC session at ICANN61 today, the representative of Brazil reported on the moves to solve the .amazon issue after Amazon presented its compromise proposal at ICANN60. Soon after, the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (OCTA) decided to consider Amazon's proposal. An OCTA working group asked Amazon additional questions, and the replies were received on 5 March. They are now being analyzed by the working group, which hopes to to present its report to OCTA before mid-April. OCTA consists of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela. The Board had inquired whether the GAC wanted to give it any additional information on the .amazon matter. In view of the ongoing contacts between OCTA goverments and Amazon, the GAC decided to reply that at this time it has none. So there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel. Best, Yrjö

SSAC Liaison
by Alan Greenberg March 10, 2018

March 10, 2018

I was informed this weekend that the SSAC has accepted Andrei Kolesnikov as a full Member of the SSAC. In December 2017, the ALAC decided by consensus to ratify Andrei Kolesnikov as the candidate for position of ALAC Liaison to the SSAC and, if he is accepted by the SSAC, to be appointed as the ALAC Liaison to the SSAC. Accordingly, it is with great pleasure that I can announce that Andrei is now the ALAC's new Liaison to the SSAC! I'm sure you will all join me in offering our congratulations. Technically Andrei still needs to be formally appointed to the SSAC by the Board, but he is already welcome to attend SSAC meetings. As Liaison, his SSAC responsibilities take precedence over his ALAC Member duties, but I am sure we will see him regularly throughout the week. It also with some regret that I note that Julie will no longer be acting as our Liaison. Given her new role as Vice-Chair of the SSAC, I suspect we may hear a sigh of relief if only because of time conflicts. I do not have the words to fully express my gratitude for how she has fulfilled the role of our SSAC Liaison. Visually considering Andrei and Julie, it is amusing that I say that Andrei has some very large shoes to fill! I note that with this message, in accordance with section 3.5.5 of our Rules of Procedure, I am inviting Julie to continue to participate in the ALT as an advisor, to the extent that she wishes and has the time to do so. As an aside, that also gives her an invitation to all of our social events. :-) Alan

RALO liaisons to the WT5 on Geonames as TLDs
by Alan Greenberg March 3, 2018

March 3, 2018

This has taken FAR longer than expected, but I can now announce the selection of RALO liaisons to the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures WT5 on Geonames as TLDs. AFRALO: Ali Hussein <ali(a)hussein.me.ke> APRALO: Maureen Hilyard <maureen.hilyard(a)gmail.com> EURALO: Yrjö Lansipuro <yrjo_lansipuro(a)hotmail.com> LACRALO: Carlos Aquirre <carlosaguirre62(a)hotmail.com> NARALO: Marita Moll <mmoll(a)ca.inter.net> Since it has been some time since this was first discussed, it may be worth while reviewing what these new positions are for. Notice that "liaison" is equivalent to how we use Liaison (with an upper case L) as the FORMAL representative of the ALAC to other AC/SOs. These RALO liaisons are using the term in the dictionary definition sense: communication or cooperation that facilitates a close working relationship between people or organizations. These RALO liaison will ensure that there is good communications to and from their RALOs, making sure that the RALO membership is kep up to date on where the WT5 is going, and making sure that opinions of the RALO are presented in WTs discussions. Just how that is done will be up to each RALO, but I would assume that brief updates at the monthly RALO meetings may be a good start. We will also be periodically holding At-Large wide discussions or webinars, and I would expect the RALO liaisons to play and take active part in those as well. This message will be forwarded to the selectees as well. Alan
