This At-Large Briefing Session will feature Matt Larson, Vice President of Research for the CTO office at ICANN, who will give a presentation and answer questions on the upcoming DNSSEC root key-signing key (KSK) rollover being planned by ICANN. The root KSK is the most important cryptographic key in the DNS security extensions, or DNSSEC. DNSSEC protects end users from receiving spoofed data and prevents attacks such as being misdirected to a malicious web site. This cryptographic key will be changed, or rolled over, in late 2017. While the actual change isn't happening until next year, an important aspect of the project is getting the word out to those who need to know about the change and take action, such as network administrators and software developers. As per the doodle poll, this call will take place on Wednesday, 19 October 2016 at 19:00 UTC for 60 minutes.

We will be sharing them at the next APRALO meeting scheduled to be held during ICANN57. I would like to remind all the remaining ALSes to kindly provide you inputs as well, so that we get a comprehensive picture of the Asia-Pacific region. It takes just a few minutes, so don't hesitate! Please note that these results would provide APRALO with guidance on policy preferences by our membership, and therefore are important inputs.

On behalf of the Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC), we are seeking Expressions of Interest (EoIs) from Candidates who wish to serve as an ICANN Board Director. The selected Candidate will be chosen by the At-Large Community, and will serve for a 3-year term starting at the end of ICANN60 (2017 Annual General Meeting - AGM). Background Seat number 15 of the ICANN Board of Directors is dedicated to a member selected by the At-Large Community. This seat is currently occupied by Rinalia Abdul Rahim, who assumed the position at the end of ICANN51 (2014 AGM). Her 3-year term will be completed at the closing of ICANN60 (2017 AGM). Pursuant to Section 19 of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) Rules of Procedure<http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2016-09> (version adopted on 20 September 2016), the At-Large Community process for selecting the next Board Director began in September 2016, with the appointment of the Chairs and Members of the BCEC and the Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC). The BCEC is responsible for outlining Candidate requirements and expectations, calling for, identifying, and evaluating applications, and compiling the initial slate of Candidates for the Board Director position. The BMSPC oversees the entire selection process for the At-Large Board Member, including the development of the selection timeline and the election finalizing the process. Both groups have regionally balanced membership and operate in accordance with a strict code of conduct and confidentiality. To learn more information, please visit their workspace<https://community.icann.org/x/Vxi4Aw>. This selection process is planned to be completed by Friday, 21 April 2017, with the announcement of the winner on that date. View the detailed timeline here<https://community.icann.org/x/ORq4Aw>. How to Request an Expression of Interest (EoI) Form Persons who are interested in submitting an Expression of Interest (EoI) should begin the process by reviewing the At-Large Board Member Candidate Requirements - 2017<https://community.icann.org/x/HAu4Aw> and At-Large Board Member Candidate Reference Links & Resources - 2017<https://community.icann.org/x/Jgu4Aw>. In particular, please ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements detailed under “Additional Bylaws Qualifications” on the At-Large Board Member Candidate Requirements - 2017<https://community.icann.org/x/HAu4Aw> page. Persons who are interested and eligible to apply for the position should then email the Program Admin Staff at program-admin(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:program-admin@atlarge.icann.org> and briefly indicate your interest. Once your email is received, Program Admin Staff will follow up promptly by sending you an email providing you access to an online Expression of Interest (EoI) Form for you to submit your complete application. Specifically, Candidates are requested to name no less than three (3) and no more than four (4) people who are willing, at short notice, to provide you a written Reference for your candidacy after being directly contacted by the BCEC and the Program Admin Staff.
