Need to have suitable volunteers from APRALO to nominate for DSSA-WG
by Hong Xue Jan. 18, 2011

Jan. 18, 2011

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of Olivier Crépin-Leblond, ALAC Chair, a call for volunteers from the RALOs to the Joint DNS Security and Stability Analysis Working Group (DSSA WG) is being made through 20 January 2011. The objective of the DSSA WG is to: - Examine the level, frequency and severity of threats to the DNS - Review the current efforts and activities intended to mitigate these threats; and - Identify possible gaps in the current security response to DNS issues. The ALAC endorsed the Charter of DSSA WG during the ICANN Meeting in Cartagena in December 2010 (the Charter is available on the Joint DSSA WG At-Large Workspace< https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Joint+DSSA+WG+-+At-Large+Worksp…> available at: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Joint+DSSA+WG+-+At-Large+Worksp…) As the GNSO and ccNSO have adopted the Charter and the NRO is in the process of adopting it, the ALAC is now calling for a volunteers from the RALOs to join the DSSA WG. If you would like to become an At-Large representative of the DSSA WG, please note that the following membership criteria apply: 1) You should have knowledge or expertise of the objectives of the DSSA WG. 2) You should be prepared to actively participate in the activities of the WG on an on-going and long-term basis. 3) You should be prepared, if required, to sign a Formal Affirmation of Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure paper (see Annex B of the Charter) and/or a Non-Disclosure Agreement. The WG may decide to establish a sub-working group to access confidential or proprietary information. If you are interested in participating in such a sub-working group, you will most likely be required to sign one or both of the aforementioned agreements in order to ensure access to and protection of confidential information. If you are interested in joining this Working Group, please send a Statement of Interest by Thursday, 20 January at 23:59 UTC to At-Large staff ( staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>) containing the following information: - Current vocation, employer and position - Type of work performed - Identify any financial ownership or senior management/leadership interest in organizations that are interested parties in DSSA related topics - Identify any type of commercial or non-commercial interest in DSSA related topics. Are you representing other parties? Describe any arrangements/agreements between you and any other group, constituency or person(s) regarding your nomination/selection as a work group member. - DSSA Working Group members are expected to demonstrate knowledge or expertise aspects of the objectives of the DSSA WG. Please identify any knowledge, expertise, or experience that you have that would be relevant to the work of the DSSA Working Group. - Describe any tangible or intangible benefit that you receive from participation in such processes, for example, if you are an academic or non-governmental organization and use your position to advance your ability to participate, this should be part of the Statement of Interest, just as should employment by an organization that has an interest in DSSAWorking Group outcomes. The Statements of Interest will be posted on the DSSA Working Group website. Olivier Crépin-Leblond, ALAC Chair, will serve as a co-chair of the DSSA Working Group. The ALAC would ideally like to have a minimum of one representative from each region serve on the DSSA Working Group. The ALAC will review the Statements of Interest and formally select At-Large representatives to the DSSA Working Group during their meeting of 25 January 2011. *So far, Cheryl and Edmon have kindly volunteered for the WG on behalf of APRALO. Cheryl's SoI has been sent to the list. Edmon's will be sent to the list soon. Given the urgency of matter, their nomination is hereby announced for your comments for 24 hours. If I don't hear any objection, they both will be our representatives and their names will be forwarded to WG chairs. * -- Dr. Hong Xue Professor of Law Director of Institute for the Internet Policy & Law (IIPL) Beijing Normal University http://www.iipl.org.cn/ 19 Xin Jie Kou Wai Street Beijing 100875 China

Statement on 2011-2014 Strategic Plan / thanks for your input
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond Jan. 12, 2011

Jan. 12, 2011

Dear Asia/Pacific region RALO and RALO members, as you have read in a separate note, I have recently filed an At-Large Statement on behalf of the At-Large constituency about the 2011-2014 Strategic Plan. On behalf of the ALAC Executive Committee, I wanted to thank you very much for feeding your regional input into the process. This year, the scheduling of comment period and all its process was changed by ICANN in order to give the At-Large community an earlier opportunity to be directly involved with the ICANN process. Unfortunately, this ended up running during the holiday period and we therefore had to work under pressure. Even with such a time pressure, the response we have had was very good. A lesson learned for next year is that we will leave more time for RALOs to bring their input and discuss it. In fact, you will notice that we have made a comment about this in our statement too. In the meantime, I wanted to congratulate the Asia/Pacific region RALO Leaders for their fast turn-around and At-Large Structures in the region for their response. It doesn't stop here. The information that the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) uses to draft those Statements comes from you. Your involvement will therefore always be much appreciated and we therefore hope that you will continue being an active part in the process. If you have missed the chance to comment this time, we look forward to hearing from you the next time round. Warm regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond ALAC Chair
