Re: [ALAC] Nominating Committee ALAC Requirements Document
by Alan Greenberg Dec. 11, 2014

Dec. 11, 2014

Please find attached a clean version as well as a redline version of the document I have submitted to the NomCom. following the comments from several ALAC members, I have changed the time estimate from 25 to 25-30 and made it clear that some ALAC members spend more time than that. I have also made it clear in the first section that the three ICANN meetings are over and above that (it was already clear in the 2nd section).

LAC NOMCOMM
by Vanda Scartezini Dec. 10, 2014

Dec. 10, 2014

I understand time consumer is not really small. I am now dedicating 1 to 2 hours at least by day to read ICANN materials, groups materials and ALAC specific issues and still did not assumed any group coordination! and when I do I believe this will add at least 2 more hours a week minimum. Traveling time normally is long and for the majority at ""employee age"² it is not easy get authorisation to travel. Minimum 30-50 hours /month Time, from NOMCOMM point of view, is a good contributor to reduced number of candidates for ACs and SOs. Anyway the number/ quality of candidates in our region is growing and we have had good opportunities to choose good candidates. Another relevant problem from this region still languages, of course interpretation solves reasonable part of this problem but still people need to communicate in English to really follow what is going on on conversations, other constituencies, corridor talk etc. Young people has much better languages skills but has job time constrains, and vice-e-versa. My two cents During the NOMCOM period ( I have been there for 4 years) NEW good candidate is not easy to outreach. I really talked with several groups, went to LACNIC/ LACNOG regional meetings, IPv6, general NGOs meetings, lawyers and engineers association meetings , talked during several meetings I organised for e-commerce around Mercosur area, and we got good candidates, not so many, but good ones. So Outreach works nbut really demand a lot of work from NOMCOM members. But they are there to do such task. What we need is a person with interest in this community,that understand the region behaviour, has experience working with communities by themselves in the region, with focus on Internet issues, with or without focus on ICANNN, but working for the users: promoting connection, access, content all kinds dedicated to the Internet users, ICT consumers¹ rights etc.etc. Knowledge of Internet environmental is essential in my opinion or you can not convince people if you do not know very well what are you talking about to respond tricky questions.

ICANN IANA Transition Outreach meeting in Berlin
by sandra hoferichter Dec. 10, 2014

Dec. 10, 2014

Dear all, I would just like to inform you that Jimmy Schulz and I did attend an outreach meeting yesterday (9.12.) discussing the IANA transition with the German community. (see here the agenda in German: https://numbers.eco.de/2014/allgemein/eco-zukunftsdialog-ii-neuausrichtung-d er-internetverwaltung.html ) The event was very well attended and the discussion lively. If not already the case I would encourage to organise such events in other regions as well and also recommend At-Large members to participate. From ICANN Jean Jacques (VP Europe) participated. Unfortunately the announcement was not spread on any At-Large lists in advance, I could imagine there would have been a greater interest from the At-Large Community. I found out about this event on a short notice only. We should better cooperate here. Best Sandra

REMINDER - DEADLINE 12 December- Call for Members and Participants in the ALAC Finance and Budget Subcommittee
by ICANN At-Large Staff Dec. 8, 2014

Dec. 8, 2014

Dear All, If you have not yet informed Alan Greenberg, Chair of the ALAC, and At-Large staff on who you would like your RALO's representatives to be on the ALAC Finance and Budget Sub-Committee, could you please do so by Friday, 12 December? The FY16 Budget as well as FY16 AC/SO Special Request processes will be beginning shortly. Kind regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Ariel Liang, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie Peregrine and Terri Agnew ICANN Policy Staff in support of ALAC E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org Facebook: www.facebook.com/icann.atlarge Twitter: @ICANN_AtLarge -----Original Message----- From: alac-bounces(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:alac-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] On Behalf Of Alan Greenberg Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2014 6:11 PM To: ALAC Subject: [ALAC] Call for Members and Participants in the ALAC Finance and Budget Subcommittee As discussed on the ALAC call last week, I am calling for volunteers for the ALAC Finance and Budget Subcommittee (FBSC) There will be two Members per region: - One ALAC member to be selected by the region's ALAC members. - One Member representing the RALO. This will normally be a RALO Chair, Vice-Chair (if the region has such an officer defined) or Secretariat. A RALO may choose someone else to be their official representative, as long as that person is both involved in the selection and preparation of that regions's budget requests, and is empowered to act on behalf of the region on the FBSC. Additional Participants are welcome. It is expected that the FBSC will be meeting in the 2nd week of December, so appointment should be made as soon as possible. The current CROPP RT which is composed partly of members of the current FBSC will continue to act on behalf of the ALAC until such time that it is formally reconstituted. Please send the names of those who are selected to sit on the FBSC to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org.

Re: [ALAC] Nominating Committee ALAC Requirements Document
by Maureen Hilyard Dec. 8, 2014

Depending on the working groups people are involved in and their role..e.g. A penholder can have considerably more work than other participants who might already have 20+ hrs per week with all the reading/emails before and after each meeting. ALAC members should also show their support for At-Large webinars etc as well. A role call isnt taken but ALAC attendance should be noted..or apologies at least.

Nominating Committee ALAC Requirements Document
by Alan Greenberg Dec. 8, 2014

Dec. 8, 2014

The Nominating Committee has a document describing what the ALAC does and the requirements and expectations for people applying for LAC positions. This year the NomCom will be selecting ALAC Members for Africa, Latin America / Caribbean Islands and Asia/Australia/Pacific). The document has not been revised since 2010, and I think it important that we update it. I should have attended to this earlier, but unfortunately the other issues we are working on seem to have taken precedence. So we are now VERY late. Attached is the current version that has been used 2010-2014 and one I have edited for use this coming year. I would appreciate all ALAC members (or past ALAC members) quickly looking at this and letting me know what I have omitted or got wrong. In particular I would appreciate your experience regarding how many hours per month we should realistically say is expected. We used to have 20-26 and I changes that to the simpler 25. My rationale is: - Monthly ALAC call: 2 - e-mail: 30 minutes per day = 15 - participation in various WG, drafting, webinars: 2 hours per week = 8 Even if you don't make any other changes, please comment on what YOUR experience is regarding the number of weeks for a normal (non-ALT, non-Liaison) ALAC Member. Sorry for the rush, but I need to get this sent in by mid-week, so please don't put this off. Alan
