REMINDER / (EN, ES, FR) Invitation: At-Large Fireside Chats with the ALAC Liaison to the GNSO, Justine Chew
by ICANN At-Large Staff Dec. 18, 2025

Dec. 18, 2025

Francais en dessous de l’anglais Español después del texto francés Please join us and spread the word! Unase a nosotros y comparta con su comunidad! Rejoignez-nous et partagez parmi votre communauté! Dear All, The ALAC periodically appoint individuals to represent the interests of the ALAC and the At-Large Community, to act on behalf of the ALAC or to meet other specific obligations, to various bodies within or outside of ICANN. Among such ALAC Appointees are our formal liaisons to the GAC, the SSAC, the GNSO, and the ccNSO. While equally strategic to the ALAC, these 4 Liaisons carry varying responsibilities, often demanding differing knowledge, skills and time commitments, and even the right temperament, to be successful in their respective roles. Whether you just want to better understand the scope of work for these 4 ALAC Liaisons, or are aspiring for selection as an ALAC Liaison in the future, please join us for a series of planned Fireside Chats which will continue into 2026. To kick off the series, two At-Large Fireside Chats with the ALAC Liaison to the GNSO, Justine Chew, have been scheduled, to accommodate the various time-zones: * Thursday, 18 December 2025 at 13:00 UTC (60 minutes) * Agenda page with details: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/QYDNJw [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/QYD…> * Zoom registration: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/9N35VNN5RuuWc7wFXYH5EQ [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/9N35VNN5R…> These Fireside Chats form part of the FY2026 At-Large Capacity Development Initiatives [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1Hnv5EnPAOu99…>. Thank you. Kind regards, At-Large Staff ICANN Policy Staff in support of the At-Large Community www.icann.org<http://www.icann.org> Français Chers tous, L'ALAC nomme régulièrement des personnes pour représenter ses intérêts et ceux de la communauté au sens large, agir en son nom ou remplir d'autres obligations spécifiques auprès de divers organismes, au sein ou en dehors de l'ICANN. Parmi ces personnes nommées par l'ALAC figurent nos interlocuteurs officiels auprès du GAC, du SSAC, du GNSO et du ccNSO. Bien qu'aussi stratégiques pour l'ALAC, ces quatre interlocuteurs ont des responsabilités différentes, exigeant souvent des connaissances, des compétences et un investissement en temps variés, voire un tempérament adapté, pour mener à bien leurs missions respectives. Que vous souhaitiez simplement mieux comprendre le rôle de ces quatre agents de liaison ALAC ou que vous envisagiez d'être sélectionné(e) comme agent de liaison ALAC à l'avenir, nous vous invitons à participer à une série de discussions informelles qui se poursuivront jusqu'en 2026. Pour inaugurer cette série, deux discussions informelles avec Justine Chew, agent de liaison ALAC auprès du GNSO, sont prévues afin de tenir compte des différents fuseaux horaires : * Jeudi 18 décembre 2025 à 13h00 UTC (60 minutes) * Page de l'ordre du jour avec détails : https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/QYDNJw [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/QYD…> * Inscription Zoom : https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/9N35VNN5RuuWc7wFXYH5EQ [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/9N35VNN5R…> Ces discussions informelles s'inscrivent dans le cadre des initiatives de développement des capacités At-Large pour l'exercice 2026 [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1Hnv5EnPAOu99…>. Merci, Cordialement At-Large Staff ICANN Policy Staff in support of the At-Large Community www.icann.org<http://www.icann.org> Español Estimados todos: El ALAC designa periódicamente a personas para representar los intereses del ALAC y de la Comunidad At-Large, para actuar en nombre del ALAC o para cumplir con otras obligaciones específicas ante diversos organismos, tanto dentro como fuera de la ICANN. Entre estas personas designadas por el ALAC se encuentran nuestros enlaces formales con el GAC, el SSAC, la GNSO y la ccNSO. Si bien son igualmente estratégicos para el ALAC, estos cuatro enlaces tienen diversas responsabilidades, que a menudo exigen distintos conocimientos, habilidades y dedicación de tiempo, e incluso la actitud adecuada, para tener éxito en sus respectivas funciones. Ya sea que desee comprender mejor el alcance del trabajo de estos cuatro enlaces del ALAC o que aspire a ser seleccionado como tal en el futuro, únase a nosotros en una serie de charlas informales planificadas que continuarán hasta 2026. Para dar inicio a la serie, se han programado dos charlas informales generales con la enlace del ALAC ante la GNSO, Justine Chew, para adaptarse a las diferentes zonas horarias: * Jueves, 18 de diciembre de 2025 a las 13:00 UTC (60 minutos) * Página de la agenda con detalles: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/QYDNJw [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/QYD…> * Registro en Zoom: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/9N35VNN5RuuWc7wFXYH5EQ [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/9N35VNN5R…> Estas charlas informales forman parte de Iniciativas de Desarrollo de Capacidades de At-Large para el año fiscal 2026 [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1Hnv5EnPAOu99…>.
