Support for self nominations and Vice Chairing position statement
by Siranush Vardanyan June 7, 2013

June 7, 2013

Dear APRALO colleagues, As I said earlier, I would like to speak out again (because of the new dates and rules), that I support Maureen's and Fouad's (which is expected to come soon as he mentioned) self-nominations for ALAC representative. Dear Maureen, great explanation and understanding of this role, posted in Wiki. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. What related to Vice Chairing nominations, first of all I would like to thank all people who nominated me and supported my candidacy. I also would like to join in congratulations to Holly for being reelected with acclamation for a Chair position. You are a great leader and facilitator, who makes this diversified group unified one. I also would like to congratulate all nominees for Vice Chairing position, including myself :) and share my agreement with YJ, that this is a real development for APRALO region. And here a brief statement from my side about my development story with ICANN and why I want to step into this important role: Since 2007 I has been actively involved in Internet Governance issues. I am a Diplo Foundation Alumni, being a part of on Capacity Building Program on Internet Governance in 2007, participated in the First European Summer School on Internet Governance. In 2008 I was one the members of Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) Nomination Committee for Multistakeholder Advisory Committee (MAG). I am involved in ICANN activities since 2008, when I received my first ICANN fellowship for ICANN New Delhi meeting. After that I participated in ICANN Paris meeting (on my own) and then received three more fellowships for ICANN Cairo, Sydney and Singapore meetings. Being already an ICANN Fellowship program Alumnus, I am currently mentoring the newcomers, I was also one of the presenters to the fellows during Sydney meeting. Being an ISOC Global member I was a part of IGF 2010 as ISOC Ambassador for IGF 2010 and IGF 2011 as ISOC Returning Ambassador. In February 2013 I was elected to serve in ISOC Armenia Board member. I also was the remote panelist during IGF 2012 in Baku, where I presented ICANN Fellowship program.In 2011-2012 I was nominated to be the At-Large Delegate for ICANN Nomination Committee member nominated from Asia Pacific and Australia region. And I was re-nominated for this position for current year (2012-2013), which was a real chance to learn more about ICANN from inside. My situation within ICANN somehow differs from many of you. During all those years I was involved as an individual member, due to the geographic challenges which Armenia has as a country within ICANN structure. I am so called "intermediary" between Europe and Asia, which while being from one hand challenging, on the other hand a learning process and enriched my knowledge on both regions' activities. And in many cases my fluency in English and Russian languages helped me to serve as "intermediary". Since November 2012 I am officially representing Armenian Association for the Disabled Pyunic as a certified ALS in APRALO region, while continuing to participate in some EURALO activities, such as monthly calls, discussions on Individual members ALS, as well as participating in EuroDIG activities, by organizing Armenian hub and ensure participation of my country representatives there. I am a part of several working groups in ICANN At-Large, such as WG on geographic regions, WG on ICANN Academy, WG on Capacity Building, as well as ATLASII committee member. Having said all this, I would like to highlight one point, that I am still in a learning process, I continue to learn every day. There is so rapid development not only in Internet in general, but in day-to-day discussions within ALAC and At-Large community, including discussions on the level of regions, ALSs and working groups. And finally, I would like to highlight the most important point here, that all the work within At-Large is a joint efforts, and if I am elected for the Vice Chair position, I will continue learning from all of you and will for sure need your support and joint efforts to achieve the goals of internet users all over the world to have safer Internet for all of us. Thank you very much and sorry for the long message.

May 30, 2013

Hi everyone I am attaching my report of our May teleconference. Things to note: Finances: First, I checked the budget papers and our request for funding for a workshop at the IGF has been accepted so I need a few hands up to help plan this. Next, our request for funding for participating in the regional IGM is being reviewed. I am checking as to what that means, but again, some help please.

NOW OPEN: Nominations for At-Large Delegates to the 2014 NomCom
by ICANN At-Large Staff May 30, 2013

May 30, 2013

Dear All, On behalf of the Chair of the ALAC, Olivier Crépin-Leblond, we would like to inform you of the schedule for the process of appointing the regional At-Large Delegates to the 2014 Nominating Committee (NomCom). 1. Nominations Open: 27 May 2013 2. Nominations Close: 7 June 2013 3. Nomination Acceptance Deadline: On or before 14 June 2013 4. RALO nominee prioritization period: Between 14-24 June 2013 (this may include a vote if desired) 5. ALAC Notification: RALOs to transmit all accepted nominations with a recommendation for a preferred candidate if the RALO wishes to provide one by 25 June 2013 6. ALAC Review of RALO Recommendations/Additional List of Nominations Accepted: 25 June - 2 July 2013 7. ALAC selection and endorsement vote: Carried out on-line between 2 July - 8 July 8. Notification to NomCom of Appointees: No later than 12 July 2013 or as arranged with NomCom Secretariat Please note that the ICANN Bylaws (see: XI-2.4.e) <http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#XI-2.4> state: The ALAC shall, after consultation with each RALO, annually appoint five voting delegates (no two of whom shall be citizens of countries in the same Geographic Region, as defined according to Section 5 of Article VI to the Nominating Committee. Voting members of the 2014 NomCom are appointed for a one year term, starting after the close of the Annual General Meeting 2013 and ending at the close of the Annual General Meeting 2014. An At-Large ALAC and RALO Elections, Selections and Appointments 2013 Workspace<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+ALAC+and+RALO+Election…> has been created for these, and other, positions. Please feel free to add your nominations and comments directly to the workspace or by posting a message on your RALO mailing list. The NomCom's charge is as follows: The NomCom is responsible for the selection of eight ICANN Board Members and for other selections as are set forth in the Bylaws. (See Bylaws Article VII, Section 1<http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#VII-1>.) The NomCom is charged with populating a portion of the ICANN Board as noted above, as well as the ALAC, the ccNSO Council and the GNSO Council. The NomCom complements the other means for filling a portion of key ICANN leadership positions achieved within the Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees. The Bylaws also state that the NomCom shall adopt such operating procedures as it deems necessary, which shall be published on the ICANN website. The NomCom is designed to function independently from the Board, the Supporting Organizations, and Advisory Committees. NomCom members act only on behalf of the interests of the global Internet community and within the scope of the ICANN mission and responsibilities assigned to it by the ICANN Bylaws. Members contribute to the NomCom both their understanding of the broad interests of the Internet as a whole and their knowledge and experience of the concerns and interests of the Internet stakeholders that have appointed them. The challenge for the NomCom is to integrate these perspectives and derive consensus in its selections. Although appointed by Supporting Organizations and other ICANN bodies, individual NomCom members are not accountable to their appointing constituencies. Members are, of course, accountable for adherence to the Bylaws and for compliance with the rules and procedures established by the NomCom.

Updated Agenda and REMINDER / APRALO May Monthly call
by Heidi Ullrich May 26, 2013

May 26, 2013

Hi All, The APRALO agenda has been updated to include the APNIC 36 issue, update the Policy Advice Development section as well as some other minor revisions. Please see the APRALO agenda at: https://community.icann.org/x/Gwh-Ag. Kind regards, Heidi From: Holly Raiche [mailto:h.raiche@internode.on.net] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2013 3:36 AM To: Rinalia Abdul Rahim Cc: apralo; ICANN At-Large Staff Subject: Re: [APAC-Discuss] REMINDER / APRALO May Monthly call Thanks Rinalia. We'll miss you but think about you when we mention APNIC 36. Holly On 23/05/2013, at 5:34 PM, Rinalia Abdul Rahim wrote: Hi Holly. I'm travelling on Tuesday, so can't make the meeting. Will be there in spirit. One suggestion on additional agenda item: APNIC36. We had discussed cross pollination and collaboration with RIRs in Beijing. APNIC 36 Fellowships are now open. Time to discuss the APRALO strategy for engaging APNIC. Best regards, Rinalia Hi Everyone The agenda for next week's call has not been finalised - so what I want is your input as to what should be on the agenda so it can be. My suggestions are: - finances: While input into the budget on expenditure up to the end of October is well and truly closed, there is a brief window to consider what we might ask for for expenditure after November 2013. (Both the regional and global IGFs will have been held. Is there something else we could do - possibly including something at the June London meeting just for APRALO? - Applications for fellowships for Durban - should we be encouraging people to apply - whom and how? - Having looked at other RALOs, there are subcommittees on Outreach and Capacity Building. Should we do the same - and are there any hands up? - Elections. I note that people are already providing information on themselves and why they could represent us on ALAC. I am happy to see the input - even if the nominating period doesn't start until next week. So for those who are confused about timelines, so am I. But the interest of all of you is a very good thing - and I encourage everyone (having decided that there has been a de facto expansion of the timeline) to consider - for themselves or someone else - our next ALAC rep. - Policy. Please check out the policy page on the ICANN site (ICANN - groups - ALAC - policy) and let me know if there are particular issues that should be discussed in a bit more detail. I hope Oliver will be able to give a brief overview of policy issues before us. Please let me know if there are particular issues we should spend a bit more time on (I know Hong and Rinalia have plenty to say on IDN variants and some of the implications of the Trade Mark Clearing House issues arising from the new gTLDs (but also, as Hong has pointed out, ccTLDs as well) Look forward to hearing from you all.
