by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro Nov. 21, 2011

Nov. 21, 2011

Dear All, Warm Greetings from the Pacific! It is cyclone season here in Fiji and hopefully, we will not see any cyclones. Some of you may recall that Cheryl has posted on the At Large Workspace for Joint ccNSO and GNSO Working Group on Single Character IDN TLDs on the 21st November, 2011. [See: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Workspace+for+Joint+cc… ] The August 2011 Board meeting, where the Board specified that Single Character IDN TLDs not be included in the first round. This will be discussed within the ALAC in under 24 hours and if there are any comments or points that you would like us to keep a track of please let us know. If in the past submissions have been made, let us know too so that we can refer to that. Please take the time to urge your respective organisations, that is ALS to examine the Work Space which I have sent the link and translate the impact to them so that they can respond. Kind Regards, -- Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro aka Sala Tweeter: @SalanietaT Skype:Salanieta.Tamanikaiwaimaro Cell: +679 998 2851

FW: Your chance to Speak to ICANN Web Designers
by Heidi Ullrich Nov. 15, 2011

Nov. 15, 2011

Dear Sala and Pavan, Please find below a message from Scott Pinzon and the site map of the new ICANN website attached. Kind regards, Heidi Heidi Ullrich Director for At-Large Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: + 1 (310) 578 - 8647 Fax: +1 (310) 823 - 8649 Cell/Mobile: +1 (310) 437 - 3956 -----Original Message----- From: Scott Pinzon Sent: Monday, November 14, 2011 4:18 PM To: Heidi Ullrich Subject: Re: [APAC-Discuss] Your chance to Speak to ICANN Web Designers I am SO happy to provide this. Attached, please find three files. The one named "original-sitemap" shows our current dismal state, with 10 tabs in our horizontal navigation, and a lot of cross-linking. The one named "new-sitemap-ver08" is the rearrangement we propose for the new navigation. The document entitled "Personas.doc" provides some of the rationale for the rearranged groupings. Our surveys and interviews identified certain ways users most commonly use the site; we want to make sure the most common uses are easy. The color coding in the sitemaps requires some explanation. Green tiles represent links that take you off of ICANN.ORG to another domain. Orange tiles are links that produce a file (typically a PDF, but sometimes an MP3). Blue tiles indicate cross-linked content, that appears to live in one place but actually belongs in another. Please feel free to distribute these as you see fit. Anyone who wants to provide a thoughtful response about how ICANN.ORG should be organized will find these documents useful.

Dakar Report
by Holly Raiche Nov. 7, 2011

Nov. 7, 2011

Hi Everyone Two of these reports will be on the Dakar reports site. But you can have the full report. On the Whois report, the final report has not been released for public comment - so it will be interesting to see what, if any, changes are made. From the APRALO viewpoint, the really interesting meeting was on Thursday - the meeting Evan called on having ALAC/AT Large be more proactive in identifying issues and bringing them to the table. Happy reading Holly Kind regards Holly Raiche h.raiche(a)internode.on.net
