I am trying to deliberately make the list as generic as possible because if we go to further detail then we'll have people complaining we did not go into details in listing other category of TLDs, like Community TLDs.

ALAC is expected to selected 1 representative - IDN Implementation Guidelines Working Group
by Ariel Liang July 15, 2015

July 15, 2015

Dear All, Based on feedback from the GNSO and direction from the Board Variant Working Group, ICANN is formulating a seven-member working group to review and update the IDN Implementation Guidelines <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/implementation-guidelines-2012-02-25- en> . Historically, this has been done by GNSO and ccNSO community members. This time, 1 ALAC representative and 1 SSAC representative will be added to the working group, to have additional focus on usability issues and Security, Stability and Resiliency (SSR) respectively. The official call for community experts announcement will go public on Thursday. The ALAC is expected to select and endorse one representative for this Working Group. This is a heads-up and we will forward the announcement to At-Large mailing lists as soon as it is public.

Re: [ALAC] [social-media-wg] New additions to Facebook postings and Dropbox for ICANN 53 Photos and two short videos
by Ariel Liang June 30, 2015

June 30, 2015

Hello Peter, Thank you VERY MUCH for all the photos that you took during ICANN 53. It is very helpful for us to document At-Large events and activities that happened in Buenos Aires. At a later time, let¹s figure out a strategy to have all the At-Large pictures stored in a centralized place so that we can find them and organize them effectively (e.g. At-Large¹s own Flickr account, google photo account, etc.). In addition, I want to take this opportunity to thank the social media working group volunteers that helped out with picture taking, video filming, tweet/facebook post drafting and translation, and retweeting during ICANN 53. Our special thanks go to the small taskforce/buffer group within the Working Group, with members including Dev Anand Teelucksingh, Leon Sanchez, Glenn McKnight, Paola Perez, Akinbo Adebunmi, Jacqueline Morries, Raitme Citterio, Juan Manuel Rojas, and Alberto Soto. With your help, the quality of our tweeter feed/facebook post improved tremendously, and some of our content got incredibly high interaction rates (e.g. the tweet about Cheryl <https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge/status/612964308859883520> has become our most popular tweet at all times, as it was retweeted 31 times and got 11 favorites). Again, we sincerely appreciate all your efforts and time during this past meeting! We may implement this small taskforce strategy again for the social media coverage in ICANN 54. Hope you all take some time to relax this week. Talk to you soon.
