Report on Fake Renewal Notices [Call for comments]
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro March 28, 2012

March 28, 2012

Dear All. *Message from Alan Greenberg* I call your attention to the report on Fake Renewal Notices. There is a comment period open until April 20th. http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/fake-renewal-notices-report-21m… Since this is a topic relevant to individual registrants, and since one of the recommendations suggests referring the issue to the ALAC, I believe it is essential that the ALAC issue a comment. I would be happy to draft a comment if so requested. I have opened a Confluence page at https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/gTLD+Fake+Renewal+Notices+Report .

by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro March 27, 2012

March 27, 2012

*Attention:* All At Large Structures within APRALO Dear APRALO, Warm Greetings! As per the advice of ALAC Chair, I am sending you this Survey and this is your opportunity to have your say on ICANN effectiveness as a global organisation. I encourage all ALS and members within ALSs' to participate. [I have edited ALAC Chair's original message as well as Kurt Pritz's message notifying us of the Survey for ease of reference]. The survey is available in all of the UN languages ( English - Arabic - Chinese - Russian - French - Spanish), and feedback is encouraged from stakeholders in all regions. The survey is open until *22 April 2012*. *Access the Survey* ICANN is publishing today a survey (http://questionpro.com/t/AHB7OZM7Lx) <http://questionpro.com/t/AHB7OZM7Lx%20> to solicit community input on improving its effectiveness as a global organization. *Your Participation is Key* Participation is important. The feedback collected from the survey *will* * help inform ICANN's strategy for improving its global engagement*. By identifying the activities that are most important toward fully reflecting the global nature of ICANN¹s mission, the feedback will also help to establish priorities for ICANN. The survey results will be shared with the ICANN community and additional opportunities will be made available to comment before any actions are formalized and implemented. *Objectives of the Survey* The survey is intended to aid understanding the following: 1) The extent to which our current participation and operating processes either: encourage global participation in ICANN; contribute to ICANN's global effectiveness; or improve ICANN's interactions as a global organization. 2) The extent to which ICANN's participation and operating processes improve ICANN's reputation globally. In addition to the multiple-choice survey questions, every section includes an open-ended text box to provide supporting information or specific recommendations. Taking the time to add written comments is important and can contribute directly to strategy development.

Dear All, There is a possibility of my accepting a consultancy contract to advise a Pacific Island Government on their ICT Strategy etc. In the event that I were to decide to accept this role, I am uncertain where there would be a perceived conflict. In my mind there is no conflict but in the interest of transparency and accountability, I am disclosing this.
