Nomination for ICANN NomCom from APRALO
by Gunela Astbrink June 5, 2013

June 5, 2013

Dear Siranush, My apologies for a slow response. Thank you very much for your nomination for me to represent APRALO on NomCom. I accept the nomination. I was a member of the 2012 ISOC NomCom and that experience should help me if I am chosen as the APRALO rep on the 2014 ICANN NomCom. Regards, Gunela -- Gunela Astbrink GSA InfoComm PO Box 600 Ballina NSW 2478 Australia Mobile: +61 417 715738 Email: g.astbrink(a)gsa.com.au

Dear colleagues, I like that many of you supported Gunela's nomination. As you also know I am fond of self-nominations as well, so I would like to support Ali's self-nomination.

APRALO-ICANN Joint Workshop at IGF 2013 - Call for Community Representatives
by Rinalia Abdul Rahim June 4, 2013

June 4, 2013

Dear APRALO, The proposal for the APRALO-ICANN joint workshop at IGF 2013 in Bali has been approved by the IGF MAG. See the draft program below. As the workshop organizer, I am seeking 2 individuals from the APRALO community/Asia Pacific region to present the views of language and user communities related to the workshop topic. The participation of the selected individuals in the workshop and at IGF 2013 will be supported by ICANN as per ICANN's travel support policies. *Eligibility criteria:* 1. Individual is from a developing country in the Asia Pacific region. 2. Ability to represent language community or user views and concerns on the topic. *If you are interested, please send me an email with the following information:* 1. Your full name as per your passport. 2. Your country of citizenship and residence. 3. A written thought-piece (1 - 2 pages maximum and not more than 800 words) on language community and / or user views on the topic (i.e., the introduction of IDN Variant TLDs in general and / or the Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone Process). Note: the workshop covers a set of scripts (i.e., Han, Indic, Arabic, Latin/Cyrillic/Greek). User views may touch on these scripts, but they may also go beyond them. *Decision-Making * A small committee comprising the following individuals will review and decide on the applications: APRALO Chair (Holly Raiche), the At-Large IDN Policy Liaison (Edmon Chung) and Workshop Organizer (Rinalia Abdul Rahim). Deadline for submission: 12 June 2013 Best regards, Rinalia *APRALO-ICANN Joint Workshop at IGF 2013 (#32)*** *Workshop Title* Next in IDNs: Linguistic Diversity in the Internet Root *IGF Theme* The Internet as Engine of Growth and Development; Critical Internet Resources *Organizers* APRALO – Asia Pacific Australasia Regional At-Large Organization ICANN – Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers *Workshop Description* The introduction of IDN variants in the root zone serves to enhance the Internet’s multilingualism and cultural diversity at the level of Top Level Domains (TLDs). The ICANN community has studied the viability of this introduction and has developed a process that will make it a reality. This process has implications for language communities. Language communities that share a script (e.g., Chinese, Japanese and Korean, which share the Han script) must agree on rules related to variant script characters in order to proceed. Furthermore, while allowing language communities to self-mobilize and proceed at their own pace, there are advantages to being an early participant or first mover. This process of allocating Variant TLDs in the Internet root* *requires language communities to collaborate and will require effective facilitation. This joint APRALO-ICANN workshop will provide an overview of the ICANN process, discuss the issues implicating language communities and outline the way forward. *Key Discussion Questions* *Process* – What is the process and what are the structural constraints of the process? How was the multistakeholder model deployed in the development of the process and how will it evolve in moving forward? How will language and technical communities be engaged? *Variants *– What are the key variant issues for scripts such as Arabic, Han, Indic, Latin and Cyrillic that have a large community of users worldwide and whose script is shared across different language communities and across national borders? What variant issues can realistically be addressed within the structural constraints of the process? *Community* - How can the readiness of language communities for IDN Variant TLDs be supported? How can the disadvantage to late entrants be minimized? What models of engagement can be used to support the collaboration of language communities that transcend national borders? What best practice models of dispute resolution can be deployed to address disputes among language communities that span the globe? *Workshop Role-Players* Moderator – *Rinalia Abdul Rahim* (ICANN At-Large Advisory Committee & APRALO Representative, Malaysia) Remote Moderator – *Maureen Hilyard* (Board Chair, Pacific Islands Chapter of the Internet Society & APRALO Representative, Cook Islands) *Expert Panel* [Overview on ICANN Process for Developing Root Zone Label Generation Rules] *Ram Mohan* (Chair, ICANN Board IDN Variants Working Group & Executive Vice President, & Chief Technology Officer, Afilias Limited) [Arabic Script Variants] *Sarmad Hussain* (Professor of Computer Science and Head of the Center of Language Engineering, University of Engineering and Technology, Pakistan) [Han Script Variants] *Edmon Chung* (CEO, dotAsia & Vice-Chair, Internet Society Hong Kong) [Indic Script Variants] *R. Doctor* (Consultant, GIST Group, Center for Development of Advanced Computing, India) – via remote participation [Latin/Cyrillic/Greek Script Variants] *Patrik** Fältström* (Head of Research and Development, Netnod; Chair, ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee; and Adviser to the Swedish IT Minister) * * *Workshop Format and Flow* This workshop features a 90-minute interactive panel discussion with remote participation. Workshop flow: · Moderator’s welcome and introduction (5 mins) · Rapid montage of user community views on IDN variants issues from developing regions – Asia Pacific, Central & Eastern Europe, Middle-East & Africa, Latin America & Caribbean (8 mins) – user community representatives to be determined and they may participate in person or via remote participation · Overview of the ICANN Process for Developing Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone (10 mins) · Arabic script presentation (8 mins) · Han script presentation (8 mins) · Indic script presentation (8 mins) · Latin/Cyrillic/Greek script presentation (8 mins) · Discussion involving panelists and participants (30 mins) · Wrap up (5 mins) *Workshop Contact* *Rinalia Abdul Rahim*, Managing Director, Compass Rose Sdn Bhd ( rinalia(a)compassrose.my or rinalia.abdulrahim(a)gmail.com) * * *Baher Esmat*, Vice President, Stakeholder Engagement – Middle East, ICANN ( baher.esmat(a)icann.org)

NOW OPEN: Nominations for At-Large Delegates to the 2014 NomCom
by ICANN At-Large Staff May 29, 2013

May 29, 2013

Dear All, On behalf of the Chair of the ALAC, Olivier Crépin-Leblond, we would like to inform you of the schedule for the process of appointing the regional At-Large Delegates to the 2014 Nominating Committee (NomCom). 1. Nominations Open: 27 May 2013 2. Nominations Close: 7 June 2013 3. Nomination Acceptance Deadline: On or before 14 June 2013 4. RALO nominee prioritization period: Between 14-24 June 2013 (this may include a vote if desired) 5. ALAC Notification: RALOs to transmit all accepted nominations with a recommendation for a preferred candidate if the RALO wishes to provide one by 25 June 2013 6. ALAC Review of RALO Recommendations/Additional List of Nominations Accepted: 25 June - 2 July 2013 7. ALAC selection and endorsement vote: Carried out on-line between 2 July - 8 July 8. Notification to NomCom of Appointees: No later than 12 July 2013 or as arranged with NomCom Secretariat Please note that the ICANN Bylaws (see: XI-2.4.e) <http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#XI-2.4> state: The ALAC shall, after consultation with each RALO, annually appoint five voting delegates (no two of whom shall be citizens of countries in the same Geographic Region, as defined according to Section 5 of Article VI to the Nominating Committee. Voting members of the 2014 NomCom are appointed for a one year term, starting after the close of the Annual General Meeting 2013 and ending at the close of the Annual General Meeting 2014. An At-Large ALAC and RALO Elections, Selections and Appointments 2013 Workspace<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+ALAC+and+RALO+Election…> has been created for these, and other, positions. Please feel free to add your nominations and comments directly to the workspace or by posting a message on your RALO mailing list. The NomCom's charge is as follows: The NomCom is responsible for the selection of eight ICANN Board Members and for other selections as are set forth in the Bylaws. (See Bylaws Article VII, Section 1<http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#VII-1>.) The NomCom is charged with populating a portion of the ICANN Board as noted above, as well as the ALAC, the ccNSO Council and the GNSO Council. The NomCom complements the other means for filling a portion of key ICANN leadership positions achieved within the Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees. The Bylaws also state that the NomCom shall adopt such operating procedures as it deems necessary, which shall be published on the ICANN website. The NomCom is designed to function independently from the Board, the Supporting Organizations, and Advisory Committees. NomCom 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. Members contribute to the NomCom both their understanding of the broad interests of the Internet as a whole and their knowledge and experience of the concerns and interests of the Internet stakeholders that have appointed them. The challenge for the NomCom is to integrate these perspectives and derive consensus in its selections. Although appointed by Supporting Organizations and other ICANN bodies, individual NomCom members are not accountable to their appointing constituencies. Members are, of course, accountable for adherence to the Bylaws and for compliance with the rules and procedures established by the NomCom.
