Dear APRALO colleagues, I am really humbled and thankful of the trust you are putting in me. I would like to express my great thankfulness to all those who supported my candidacy, but I would like to express even more appreciation to YJ and Satish and ask for your continuous support and experience sharing. Your contribution to APRALO region is really very valuable and I am looking forward working with you both, as well as with Holly as a Chair and Fouad as Vice Chair. I am also looking forward of working with everyone in this region. With this e-mail I am also sending you NomCom updates, where the major activities implemented during June are highlighted.

Draft ALAC Statement on the Implementation of IDN Variant Top Level Domains
by Rinalia Abdul Rahim 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

Dear IDN Working Group Members and ALAC Colleagues, In response to the ICANN Board's request for guidance on the implementation of IDN Variant TLDs as well as the release of the “IDN Variant TLD Program - Risk Analysis Studies” dated May 2013, Edmon and I have developed a draft statement for the ALAC's consideration. Text of the drafted statement is pasted below. WIKI Page for your comments is located here: https://community.icann.org/display/alacpolicydev/ALAC+Statement+on+the+Imp… Please try your best to provide your comments via the wiki by June 16th. Best regards, Rinalia *ALAC Statement on the Implementation of IDN Variant Top Level Domains * *[Version 10 June 2013]* The ICANN Board has requested guidance from the community regarding the implementation of the Recommendations contained within the Report on User Experience Implications of Active Variant TLDs ( http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/prelim-report-11apr13-en.htm…). After reviewing the Report as well as the “IDN Variant TLD Program - Risk Analysis Studies” dated May 2013, the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) advises the following: *Introduce IDN Variant TLDs carefully and implement complementary IDN policies concurrently * - Facilitate the introduction of IDN Variant TLDs carefully so as to nurture growth of the IDN market. The successful implementation of the initial set of IDN TLDs and IDN Variant TLDs will create higher visibility for IDNs and can be expected to stimulate further demand. - The prioritized implementation of IDN new gTLDs must be accompanied with the concurrent execution of complementary and enabling policies, specifically: - Implementation of policies that support the Universal Acceptance of IDNs, - Implementation of IDN Variant TLDs; and - Inclusion of IDN variant support in the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH). * * *Bundle the delegation of TLDs and variant TLDs appropriately* - In cases where variants are well defined and understood, and where they are essential for the communication needs of user communities, IDN Variant TLDs must be delegated together with IDN TLDs to ensure consumer trust among the implicated user communities. - Concurrently, variant support in the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) must be included in time to accommodate the delegation of appropriate TLDs to address the issues of user confusion as well as effective trademark protection. *Prepare user communities via dedicated outreach* - Release appropriate educational materials and conduct awareness-raising initiatives widely on the use and impact of variants on different user communities well in advance of IDN Variant TLD delegation. - These outreach efforts should target IDN users as well as non-IDN users to address any trust issues that they may have. See the following as an example of research findings indicating the need for more education and awareness-raising about IDNs in developed economies - http://www.domainnews.com/en/afilias-research-75-of-uk-and-us-consumers-obl… . *Demonstrate a strong commitment to multilingualism * The introduction of IDN Variant TLDs is a policy choice, which requires the strong commitment of ICANN and the ICANN community to multilingualism. The competing perspectives between the technical (conservative) and linguistic (comprehensive) communities need to be balanced carefully within an overarching commitment to multilingualism. A demonstrated commitment to multilingualism will encourage collaboration between the two communities in finding workable solutions and common ground in introducing IDN Variant TLDs without undermining the security and stability of the Domain Name System. *Expedite the implementation of the Root LGR process * - Expedite the implementation of the Label Generation Rules (LGR) process for the Root Zone to address the risks that have been identified in the “IDN Variant TLD Program - Risk Analysis Studies.” - Ensure that lack of expertise is not a reason for delaying or prolonging the implementation of the process. The inadequate supply and availability of the right kind of experts have been identified as a possible bottleneck for the Root LGR process. We note that a call for subject matter experts has been issued on 6 June 2013. Should the response prove to be inadequate, measures would be required to seek expertise outside of the ICANN community. - Expedite the delivery of the Han script ruleset in the Root LGR process. Among all the writing systems studied by ICANN in the IDN Variant Issues Project* (*VIP), the Han script variants are the most well defined and understood. ICANN experts (Andrew Sullivan and Asmus Freytag) concurred during the ICANN 46th Meeting in Beijing that the Han script is possibly the only exception in this regard. * * *Involve the community in the governance of the Root LGR Process* Involve the ICANN community (Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committee) in the implementation planning and delivery of IDN Variant TLDs as well as in the governance oversight of the Label Generation Rules (LGR) for the Root Zone process, which is crucial for deriving a comprehensive and consistent treatment for variants across the board. In particular, - Ensure that the LGR process is accountable and transparent. - Address its weaknesses (i.e., the lack of a review and appeals process, insufficient supply and availability of experts as well as mechanisms for avoiding capture) - Address the weaknesses of the ICANN Public Comments process (a core feedback mechanism for the LGR process) to enable a more open and meaningful stakeholder participation. The ALAC’s advice as indicated above is consistent with the following statements that we have issued regarding IDNs and IDN Variants: - ALAC Statement on Trademark Clearinghouse and IDN Variants - ALAC Statement on IDN Variant TLD Program – Interim Report Examining the User Experience Implications of Active Variant TLDs<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/2261148/ALAC%2BStatement%2…> - ALAC Statement on the IDN Variant TLD Program – Procedure to Develop and Maintain the Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone in Respect of IDNA Labels<https://community.icann.org/display/alacdocs/ALAC+Read+Only+Document+Store>- Second Public Comment Draft - ALAC Statement on the IDN Variant TLD Program – Procedure to Develop and Maintain the Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone in Respect of IDNA Labels<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/2261148/ALAC+Statement+on+…> - ALAC Statement on the Draft Recommendations Overall Policy for the Selection of IDN ccTLD Strings<https://community.icann.org/display/alacdocs/ALAC+Read+Only+Document+Store> - ALAC Statement on the IDN Prioritization in the New gTLD Program Targeted at the ICANN Board<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/2261148/ALAC+Statement+on+…> - ALAC Statement on the Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) Variant Issues Project (VIP) Proposed Project Plan for Next Steps<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/2261148/ALAC+Statement+on+…> END

Support for self nominations and Vice Chairing position statement
by Siranush Vardanyan 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

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.

Starting with NCDNHC/DNSO council member (1999~2002), I have travelled with various constituencies in ICANN including from ccTLD constituency to ccNSO (FYI. My first professional job in this community was APTLD secretariat), UN WSIS CS Internet Governance Caucus (2003~ ), UN IGF MAG (2008~2012), and chair of Local program committee of 2013 APrIGF in Korea (2013). > > > > I also serve on the various local committees related with ISOC-KR rejuvenation coordinator, 2013 WTPF preparatory one, 2013 Cyber Space Conference planning one, and 2014 ITU plennipotentiary meeting planning etc. > > > > Based on my IG experiences and responsibilites at Korea Internet Governance community, I will be happy to bridge APRALO and Korea Internet community down the road including the upcoming APrIGF in Korea. > > > > I understand we have excellent vice chair candidates for this round, which is quite exciting development itself for APRALO.

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. > > Holly > > > On 23/05/2013, at 4:24 AM, At-Large Staff wrote: > > > > > > > Dear All, > > > > > > The May APRALO teleconference is scheduled for Tuesday 28 May 2013 at 05:00 > > UTC. > > > > For other times: > > http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=APRALO+Monthly+Tele > > conference&iso=20130528T05 > > > > Tiny url: > > http://tinyurl.com/pp3gklz > > > > The draft agenda (TO BE UPDATED) and call details can be found at: > > https://community.icann.org/x/Gwh-Ag > > > > > > Adobe Connect Room: > > http://icann.adobeconnect.com/apralo <http://icann.adobeconnect.com/apralo> > > > > APRALO wiki workspace: > > https://community.icann.org/x/4ZMi > > > > > > If you are unable to attend the call please send an email indicating your > > absence and we will note this information on the agenda.
