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

ICANN's Leadership Positions
by Fouad Bajwa Dec. 22, 2010

Dec. 22, 2010

Hello All, I wanted to share the following announcement from ICANN for information purposes. Apply Now for ICANN's Leadership Positions Apply Now to Join the ICANN Board, the Councils of GNSO and ccNSO, and the ALAC 17 December 2010 Source: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-17dec10-en.htm ICANN's Nominating Committee (Nom Com) invites Statements of Interest and candidate recommendations from the Internet community for key leadership positions to fulfill ICANN's technical and policy coordination role. Interested individuals are invited to submit a Statement of Interest to the 2010 Nom Com for the following positions: - Two members of the Board of Directors of ICANN - Three At Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) representatives (one each from the Africa, Asia/Australia/Pacific and Latin America/Caribbean regions) - Two members of the Council of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) - One member of the Council of the Country-Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) The Nominating Committee (Nom Com) is an independent committee tasked with selecting a majority of the members of the Board of Directors and other key positions within ICANN's structure. ICANN is an internationally organized, public benefit, non-profit corporation dedicated to: preserving the operational security and stability of the Internet; promoting competition; achieving broad representation of global Internet communities; and supporting the development of policies appropriate to its mission through bottom-up, consensus-based processes. Individuals selected by Nom Com will have a unique opportunity to work with accomplished colleagues from around the globe, address the Internet's intriguing technical coordination problems and policy development challenges with diverse functional, cultural, and geographic dimensions, and gain valuable insights and experience from working across boundaries of knowledge, responsibility and perspective. Those selected will gain the satisfaction of making a valuable public service contribution towards the continued function and evolution of an essential global resource. Considering the broad public interest, those selected will work to achieve the goals towards which ICANN is dedicated in order to facilitate the Internet's critically important societal functions. Current Board members who have been selected by the Nominating Committee include: Cherine Chalaby, Bertrand de la Chapelle, Steve Crocker, Erika Mann, Gonzalo Navarro, Rajasekhar Ramaraj, George Sadowsky, and Katim Touray. Statements of Interest for the positions described above can be submitted through an on-line application form at (http://forms.icann.org/nomcom/soi.php) or by contacting nomcom2011(a)icann.org. More information regarding the Nominating Committee can be found at http://nomcom.icann.org. Applications will be considered in confidence and should be received by 4 April 2011 for full consideration. Selections will be announced in early September 2011. Successful candidates will take up their positions following ICANN's Annual Meeting in October 2011. Candidate recommendations are encouraged and can be submitted through an on-line form at (http://forms.icann.org/nomcom/suggestcandidate.php) and questions or comments may also be submitted to nomcom2011(a)icann.org. Background: The Nominating Committee is designed to function independently from the ICANN Board, Supporting Organizations, and Advisory Committees. Nominating Committee 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. Nominating Committee members contribute understanding of the broad interests of the Internet community as a whole, and knowledge and experience of specific Internet constituencies who have appointed them. The challenge for the Nominating Committee is to integrate these perspectives and derive consensus in its selections. Although appointed by Supporting Organizations and other ICANN entities, individual Nominating Committee members are not accountable to their appointing constituencies. Members are accountable for adherence to the ICANN Bylaws and for compliance with the rules and procedures established by the Nominating Committee. Successful candidates are not remunerated, although direct expenses incurred in the course of duty will be reimbursed. Fluency in English is a requirement for all positions. These positions may involve significant international travel, including personal presence at periodic ICANN meetings, as well as regular telephone and Internet communications. Recent ICANN Meetings have been held in Brazil, Portugal, Puerto Rico, the United States, India, France, Egypt, Mexico, Australia, South Korea, Kenya and Colombia. Meetings during 2011 are scheduled for San Francisco, CA in the United States of America; Asia/Australia/Pacific and Africa. The diverse locations facilitate participation across the world's Internet community; an aspect of growing importance as ICANN's recently signed Affirmation of Commitments emphasizes ICANN's accountability to the community. -- Happy Holidays. -------------------------- Fouad Bajwa
