a brief letter to the voting representatives....
by Sivasubramanian Muthusamy Oct. 15, 2008

Oct. 15, 2008

Hello, I am new to At Large though being a person considerably interested in Internet Governance issues as part of ISOC. As a nominee for Election to ALAC I have not written to any of you individually, unsure whether it is a convention at at-large to write to the voting representatives during the election process. There is a possibility that the absence of communication by a candidate could be seen as lack of interest or commitment. So I wish to affirm that I am committed to at-large values and would spend time to contribute to the at-large tasks. Though I have not written to you individually, please feel free to contact me by email if you have any questions related to my position on any of the issues or for any other interaction. Thank you and looking forward to an active role at at-large. Sivasubramanian Muthusamy http://isocmadras.blogspot.com -- http://www.linkedin.com/in/sivasubramanianmuthusamy ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sivasubramanian Muthusamy <isolatedn(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Oct 14, 2008 at 11:48 AM Subject: Re: [APAC-Discuss] ALAC election now open To: Kuo-Wei Wu <kww9(a)columbia.edu> Cc: Matthias Langenegger <matthias.langenegger(a)icann.org>, " apac-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org" <apac-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Hello Kuo-Wei Wu, Hello All, I am one of the nominees of APRALO to ALAC, writing to say that I am committed to the At Large values and would contribute to the at-Large programs and activities irrespective of the choice of APRALO members from among the nominees, all of whom are well qualified for this position. I am inclined to be quite involved in this role. For a start, I will be attentive to the discussions in the list on current issues and contribute actively to the process of arriving at at-large position on ICANN and other Internet Governance issues. If there is any official travel requirement I will set aside time to travel and participate in at-large and ICANN meetings as part of the official team. I would be present at the IGF Hyderabad and will actively participate in discussions of importance as a person committed to the Internet Model and Civil Society values. I have a keen interest in participating to further the process of democratization of ICANN Governance which is also a symbolic issue that would determine how the Internet would be 'governed' broadly. I am now based in India and willing to devote time and work on strengthening the at-large structures and to further at-large participation in ICANN policy making and related issues.The At Large Organization is becoming larger with inclusion of new At Large Structures. The participation needs to be improved as well as the voices expressed need to be taken serious note of by ICANN. I am eager to work on this core task of At Large expansion as a loud and clear Civil Society Voice in Internet Governance. At a global level by working closely with the AT Large Executive and at a local level by creating greater awareness about the relevance and significance of At Large. I will do all this in constant consultation with those who are steeped in the at-large values.

[At-Large] RES: DOC Notice of Inquiry: DNSSEC
by Sivasubramanian Muthusamy Oct. 14, 2008

Oct. 14, 2008

Hello Jeffrey, What I said about America pertains to the US Government position on ICANN and Internet policy making, and I think I gave a fair description and even if there was an observation or two that were critical about the US Government, it is not fair to dub the entire message as anti-american. It is not meant to be. On Security aspects I do agree that there is a need for Security fixes, but I am concerned by the fact that the issues are projected blown up in a manner of raising an alarm so as to warrant measures that would severely compromise privacy aspects.. This is a big topic, I have been very brief... In its brevity, the message might have sounded anti-american, it was not meant to be.

APRALO meeting in Cario
by Hong Xue Oct. 13, 2008

Oct. 13, 2008

Dear All, I note that there will be an APRALO Meeting in Cairo on Wednesday 05 November, *0730 - 0830 AM (local time). I wonder if the meeting could be scheduled on Tuesday morning (same time) instead. Our monthly calls are always on the last Tuesday of each month. The change of the date could confuse the people who would join by calling in. Hong *

Self Introduction from a Nominee to ALAC
by Sivasubramanian Muthusamy Oct. 3, 2008

Oct. 3, 2008

Hello, I am from the ISOC India Chennai chapter offering to serve the At Large Advisory committee representing APRILO. I live in India and have an immense interest in the growth and evolution of the Internet. I have taken part in the OECD Ministerial Meeting on the Future of Internet Economy at Seoul, Korea, and took part at the APNIC 24 and SANOG events in New Delhi. As a person who believes in a well *balanced system of Governance <http://intgovforum.org/forum/index.php?topic=446.0>*in its *minimal form <http://isocmadras.blogspot.com/2008/09/one-web-day.html>*, I have been actively participating in the key discussions on Internet Governance, especially at the Internet Governance Caucus mailing lists. I am associated with One Web Day and have volunteered to handle the *Stories<http://www.onewebday.org/stories> * task. I believe that there can be a solution acceptable to all stakeholders who have conflicting interests. I have taken part in various discussions on key policy related issues, including issues related to IPV6 transition and the growth of ICANN. My interest in the growth and evolution of the Internet stems from an innate desire to contribute very significantly to the world at large on a macro level. I am a graduate in Business (MBA) from India now giving shape to Turiya, a Start Up in its pre-funding stage, to make Desktop, Mobile PCs and Mobile Internet Devices around an UNIX operating system. For a more detailed introduction about my background I have attached a brief bio in pdf, word and star office formats.
