April 16, 2014

Dear APRALO members, please take note of this first Webinar. It is one of a series of Webinars which will take place in the run-up to ATLAS II in London. The set of Webinars was designed to benefit you so that you can take more advantage of the face to face interactions you will have at the Summit. We are well aware that ICANN, with its own vocabulary and its own processes is a different world and that it takes some learning to understand it. This Webinar is the first open door into this world and I look forward to seeing you all take part. The trip to London starts on *Thursday 17 April 2014 from 13:00 - 14:30 UTC.* You cannot dial a local number? Don't worry just email Staff your mobile number or any number of your choice and you can receive the call free of charge. Also you can follow the Webinar on the "Adobe Connect" system which works on PCs, on MACs and on Mobile smart devices like Notepads & Smart Phones. And if your Internet connectivity's good enough, you don't need to receive a call or dial in, you can listen to the voice & speak to ask questions using Adobe Connect. As I've said, it's the first step to your involvement in the At-Large Summit.

Among the items discussed, the group reviewed the inputs of the ATLAS II Event Working Group in detail by comparing it with the ATLAS II Survey results. After a very dynamic on-spot discussion, the topics of the thematic priorities were amended. This selection takes into account the overarching ATLAS II theme, recent key announcements within the Internet eco-system, and earlier survey results. Please find below the modified list of 5 thematic topics, which will be discussed within a series of breakout sessions during the summit. As next steps in our proceeding we agreed to send this Solicitation Letter to the Event WG and other interested members who were present in Singapore. Subject Matter Experts will lead and coordinate session content and output. In discussions in Singapore, several At-Large community members were proposed: 1. The future of multistakeholderism - Adam Peake 2. The globalization of ICANN - Rinaliah Abdul Rahim / Roberto Gaetano 3. Global Internet: The User Perspective - Jean-Jacques Subrenat 4. ICANN Transparency and Accountability - Avri Doria / Hong Xue 5.

Fwd: [ArabICANN] Call for Volunteers: Cross-Community Working Group on the Use of Country and Territory Names as TLDs
by Ali AlMeshal April 11, 2014

April 11, 2014

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Fahd Batayneh" <fahd.batayneh(a)icann.org> Date: 11 Apr 2014 00:48 Subject: [ArabICANN] Call for Volunteers: Cross-Community Working Group on the Use of Country and Territory Names as TLDs To: "'Arab ICANN' (arabicann(a)aratld.org)" <arabicann(a)aratld.org> Cc: For those interested http://gnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-10apr14-en.htm In Brief The Generic Names Supporting Organization is looking for volunteers to participate in a new cross-community Working Group (CWG) on the Use of Country and Territory Names as TLDs (UCTN). This CWG has been charted jointly with the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) and it is expected to review the current status of representations of country and territory names as they exist under current ICANN policies, guidelines and procedures and to provide advice on whether to develop a framework, applicable across all SOs and ACs - and if so, provide advice to the content of such a framework. What this CWG will do The UCTN CWG has been charted<http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/unct-framework-charter-27mar14-en.pdf>to address three issues: - To review the current status of representations of country and territory names, as they exist under current ICANN policies, guidelines and procedures; - To provide advice regarding the feasibility of developing a consistent and uniform definitional framework that could be applicable across the respective SOs and ACs; and - Should such a framework be deemed feasible, to provide detailed advice as to the content of the framework. When tackling these issues, the UCTN CWG is advised to take into account the Final Report<http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/unct-final-08sep12-en.pdf>of the ccNSO Study Group on the Use of Names for Country and Territory. According to its Charter<http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/unct-framework-charter-27mar14-en.pdf>, the scope of this CWG is limited to: 1) representations of names of countries, territories and their subdivisions listed on or eligible to be listed on the ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 code International Standard for country codes and codes for their subdivisions, hereafter: Country and Territory names (note: other geographical indicators, such as regions, are excluded); 2) the use of Country and Territory names as Top Level Domains (note: the use of Country and Territory names at the second or other level is excluded). However, if issues become apparent to the Co-chairs of the CWG that are considered relevant, but outside the scope of the CWG, the Co-Chairs of the WG, after consulting the members of the WG, shall inform the Chairs of the participating SOs and ACs. How this team will work ICANN WGs use transparent, open processes. The operational aspects of this CWG will be further determined by the co-chairs at the start of the CWG's operations, but typically meetings are recorded, mailing lists are publicly archived and GNSO members are expected to submit Statements of Interest (SOI<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/New+SOIs>) in order to participate. The group may decide to collaborate using a public workspace for draft materials and all final work products and milestones will be documented. Please note that as a working group member you are expected to attend conference calls and to actively participate in online discussions. How to Join The CWG is open to anyone interested to join. If you are interested to participate, please send an email to the GNSO Secretariat ( gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org) *preferably by 18 April 2014 at the latest*, to indicate your interest to join this Cross Community Working Group. Background The ccNSO Study group on the use of Names for Country and Territory published its Final Report in September 2013 ( http://ccnso.icann.org/node/42227) The first of the two recommendations of the Study Group to the ccNSO Council was to establish a cross community working group to: - Further review the current status of representations of country and territory names, as they exist under current ICANN policies, guidelines and procedures; - Provide advice regarding the feasibility of developing a consistent and uniform definitional framework that could be applicable across the respective SOs and ACs; - And, should such a framework be deemed feasible, provide detailed advice as to the content of the framework. The ccNSO Council adopted the recommendations and, as the objective of the proposed Working Group is considered to be of common interest to the broader community, other Supporting Organisations (SOs), Advisory Committees (ACs) and others were invited to participate in the working group on equal footing, and should be preferably undertaken as a collaborative effort. To this end the ALAC, GNSO and GAC were invited by the ccNSO Council to participate in a Joint Working Group. The GNSO Council adopted the charter for the CWG at its meeting on 26 March 2014. _______________________________________________ ArabICANN mailing list ArabICANN(a)aratld.org http://mail-list.aratld.org/mailman/listinfo/arabicann

Re: [APAC-Discuss] [lac-discuss-en] VOTE RESULTS: 2014 Director-At-Large Board (Seat # 15) Selection Process
by Carlton Samuels April 6, 2014

April 6, 2014

....when I see this thread I don't know why Robin Crawford comes top of mind...... To my mind the issue is moreso about culture than any one voting member. ICANN is an American corporation; shorthand for saying it is acculturated in a specific way. Its world view, decision model and management practices springs from a certain philosophical base. In this framework certain interests are inherently constrained. Some sentient ones understand this and so now, some moves are in play to address this. Time will tell whether they are fit to purpose or not. On the balance of fact, understanding of Board dynamics and cultural stasis, I'm not so sure another "At-Large Board Member" will deliver what most of us believe to be good and necessary, absent a cultural shift. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= On Fri, Apr 4, 2014 at 6:29 PM, <ocl(a)gih.com> wrote: > > [[--Translated text (es -> en)--]] > > Subject: Re: VOTE RESULTS: 2014 Director-At-Large Board (Seat # 15) > Selection Process > From: ocl(a)gih.com > > Dear Wolfgang, > > > thank you for this reminder of the history. > > > I'd like to hear more from our Community on Whether They Should we think > be pushing for a second manager position now that we've had another > successful round of selection of a Board director. > > > Fadi Chehadmentioned today in the At-Large Election When speaking > about the multi-stakeholder model at the Hudson Institute > > http://www.hudson.org/events/1144-the-future-of-internet-governance-a-discu… > > > Kind regards, > > > Olivier > > > On 30/03/2014 11:32, "Kleinwchter, Wolfgang" wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I also want to join the many thanks to Sebastian (great job), to Rinalia > (great challenge) and Roberto and Tijani (well done).
