ALS Mobilization Plan
by Alan Greenberg Oct. 29, 2019

Oct. 29, 2019

As many of you know, we are in the midst of implementing the At-Large Review. A key part of this is using our ALS infrastructure to identify new active ICANN policy-oriented volunteers. To do this, we will need much better communications with ALSes and their members. Much work was done by the ALS Criteria and Expectations Taskforce several years ago and the proposals it made were the basis for the At-Large Review proposals. It is now time to finalize and enhance those proposals and have them implemented. You can find the current draft ALS Mobilization Plan at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ex6BjDrJjESxNZSbTYLbKswVsDvpaEvt/edit#h… . We are looking for people with a strong knowledge of ICANN At-Large and ALSes to refine this plan for approval by the ALAC. This will be a relatively short-term project, but it is important to have active participation from all RALOs. If you are interested in working on this, please send a message to At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org>. The first meeting of the group will be convened shortly after ICANN66. Alan

The selected candidate will serve a 3-year term starting at the end of ICANN69 (2020 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 León Sánchez, who assumed the position at the end of ICANN60 (2017 AGM). His 3-year term will be completed at the closing of ICANN69 (2020 AGM), and he will be eligible for re-appointment. Pursuant to Section 19 of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) Rules of Procedure<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Rules+of+Procedure?preview=/226…> (RoP), the At-Large community began the selection process for the next Board Director in September 2019, 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.

Both groups have regionally balanced membership and operate in accordance with a strict code of conduct and confidentiality where applicable. For more information, please visit the At-Large Board Member Selection Home - 2019-2020<https://community.icann.org/display/ABMS/At-Large+Board+Member+Selection+Ho…>.

The BCEC is expected to finalize its selection by the end of 2019. Following the publication of the BCEC slate, unsuccessful applicants may opt to have their candidacy considered by the five RALOs. The overall selection process will conclude by Wednesday, 22 April 2020. The successful applicant will be announced on or before that date. How to Submit an Expression of Interest (EoI) Form Interested individuals should begin the process by reviewing the At-Large Board Member Candidate Requirements<https://community.icann.org/x/W5YCBw> 2019-2020 and the At-Large Board Member Candidate Reference Links & Resources<https://community.icann.org/x/Z4WGBg>.
