Hi Sarah, I realize that eliminating ISOC Chapter ALSs narrows our talent pool significantly. But this would be a good opportunity to call attention to those in our community who are not part of ISOC. The At-Large Review currently underway seems nearly obsessed with the involvement of ISOC chapters, it is valuable to demonstrate that there are many involved with us who are outside that alleged "influence". - Evan On 13 January 2017 at 09:09, Sarah Kiden <skiden@gmail.com> wrote:
Dear Alan,
This is a good idea. Regarding Evan's suggestion, I also support his suggestion. The pool will be very small, considering many ALSes are ISOC chapters. Overall, it is a better idea as it will eliminate conflict of interest.
Regards,
Sarah

I was approached by Roberto Gaetano (former ALAC Member, former ALAC Liaison to the ICANN Board, former BCEC Chair, former Vice-Chair of the ICANN Board) who is the Chair of the Board of the Public Interest Registry (PIR), the operator of .ORG and now .NGO/.ONG as well Chinese, Hindi and Russian equivalents of .ORG.as several. As you likely know, PIR is a not-for profit organization created by the Internet Society.
PIR has a Community Advisory Council for the .NGO/ONG TLD (see http://pir.org/products/ngo-ong-domain/) and asked if the ALAC was interested in having a representative on that Council. After having discussed this with a number of At-Large colleagues, I hope no one will object to my agreeing to do this.
Following discussion with Roberto on exactly what is required, I will be sending out a call for volunteers.
We have been asked to identify a small number of candidates that we believe would do a good job. The PIR Nominating Committee will select one person to serve on the Advisory Council.
Alan
