APRALO Call on February 22 rescheduled to San Francisco Meeting
by Hong Xue Feb. 15, 2011

Feb. 15, 2011

Dear Colleagues, APRALO regular monthly conference call in February should be on February 22. However, it seems February 22 is a particularly hectic day for many ALS representatives. Especially both Vice Chairs would be unavailable on February 22 due to other important meetings. Therefore, the call on February 22 has to be rescheduled to a face-to-face meeting plus conference call that is going to be held in San Francisco, probably on March 17. The new call date and time slot shall be notified in due course. We apologize for sending out the rescheduling message only a week before and do hope the rescheduling does not affect any work plan. Since we don't have any call since last call on January 25, you are most welcome to send in any comments and suggestions to the list. Wish All a Happy Year of Hare/Rabbit! Hong ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Pavan Budhrani <pavan(a)registry.asia> Date: Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 10:52 AM Subject: APRALO Call To: Hong Xue <hongxueipr(a)gmail.com> Hey Hong, About the coming APRALO call, are we going to have it on the 22nd of February at the same time or will this call be the one we will have in SF, do let me know so I can work with Staff to get things sorted. -- Pavan Budhrani Communications Manager, DotAsia Organisation -- Dr. Hong Xue Professor of Law Director of Institute for the Internet Policy & Law (IIPL) Beijing Normal University http://www.iipl.org.cn/ 19 Xin Jie Kou Wai Street Beijing 100875 China

Message from David Olive on At-Large Staff Transitions
by Heidi Ullrich Feb. 14, 2011

Feb. 14, 2011

Dear All, Please see a note on upcoming At-Large staff transitions sent on behalf of David Olive, Vice President, Policy Development Support. ** Dear At-Large community, I would like to inform you of some At-Large staff transitions that will begin following the 40th ICANN Meeting in Silicon Valley in San Francisco. It is with mixed emotions that I announce the departure of Matthias Langenegger, Manager, At-Large Regional Affairs, effective 21 March 2011. Matthias, who first joined ICANN in February 2008 as the At-Large Coordination Officer, has been an exceptional member of the Policy Team and provided outstanding support to the At-Large community, due in part, to his unique combination of technical and language skills. The position of Manager, At-Large Regional Affairs has been posted on the ICANN website (see: At-Large Regional Affairs Officer (OHREGAFFRSOFFCR)<http://hostedjobs.openhire.com/epostings/submit.cfm?fuseaction=app.jobinfo&…>). However, in the interim period, we have asked Seth Greene, currently the At-Large Improvements Project Manager, to take on some of responsibilities of this position, with assistance from Gisella Gruber and Marilyn Vernon. This interim arrangement has been designed in order to ensure continuity in At-Large staff support. Along with the At-Large staff, I would like to warmly thank Matthias for his considerable contribution to ICANN and the At-Large community and wish him all the best in his new endeavors. I am confident that Seth, with assistance from Gisella and Marilyn, will provide the same level of outstanding service to the At-Large community. Kind regards, David A.

Need to have suitable volunteers from APRALO to nominate for DSSA-WG
by Hong Xue Jan. 18, 2011

Jan. 18, 2011

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of Olivier Crépin-Leblond, ALAC Chair, a call for volunteers from the RALOs to the Joint DNS Security and Stability Analysis Working Group (DSSA WG) is being made through 20 January 2011. The objective of the DSSA WG is to: - Examine the level, frequency and severity of threats to the DNS - Review the current efforts and activities intended to mitigate these threats; and - Identify possible gaps in the current security response to DNS issues. The ALAC endorsed the Charter of DSSA WG during the ICANN Meeting in Cartagena in December 2010 (the Charter is available on the Joint DSSA WG At-Large Workspace< https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Joint+DSSA+WG+-+At-Large+Worksp…> available at: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Joint+DSSA+WG+-+At-Large+Worksp…) As the GNSO and ccNSO have adopted the Charter and the NRO is in the process of adopting it, the ALAC is now calling for a volunteers from the RALOs to join the DSSA WG. If you would like to become an At-Large representative of the DSSA WG, please note that the following membership criteria apply: 1) You should have knowledge or expertise of the objectives of the DSSA WG. 2) You should be prepared to actively participate in the activities of the WG on an on-going and long-term basis. 3) You should be prepared, if required, to sign a Formal Affirmation of Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure paper (see Annex B of the Charter) and/or a Non-Disclosure Agreement. The WG may decide to establish a sub-working group to access confidential or proprietary information. If you are interested in participating in such a sub-working group, you will most likely be required to sign one or both of the aforementioned agreements in order to ensure access to and protection of confidential information. If you are interested in joining this Working Group, please send a Statement of Interest by Thursday, 20 January at 23:59 UTC to At-Large staff ( staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>) containing the following information: - Current vocation, employer and position - Type of work performed - Identify any financial ownership or senior management/leadership interest in organizations that are interested parties in DSSA related topics - Identify any type of commercial or non-commercial interest in DSSA related topics. Are you representing other parties? Describe any arrangements/agreements between you and any other group, constituency or person(s) regarding your nomination/selection as a work group member. - DSSA Working Group members are expected to demonstrate knowledge or expertise aspects of the objectives of the DSSA WG. Please identify any knowledge, expertise, or experience that you have that would be relevant to the work of the DSSA Working Group. - Describe any tangible or intangible benefit that you receive from participation in such processes, for example, if you are an academic or non-governmental organization and use your position to advance your ability to participate, this should be part of the Statement of Interest, just as should employment by an organization that has an interest in DSSAWorking Group outcomes. The Statements of Interest will be posted on the DSSA Working Group website. Olivier Crépin-Leblond, ALAC Chair, will serve as a co-chair of the DSSA Working Group. The ALAC would ideally like to have a minimum of one representative from each region serve on the DSSA Working Group. The ALAC will review the Statements of Interest and formally select At-Large representatives to the DSSA Working Group during their meeting of 25 January 2011. *So far, Cheryl and Edmon have kindly volunteered for the WG on behalf of APRALO. Cheryl's SoI has been sent to the list. Edmon's will be sent to the list soon. Given the urgency of matter, their nomination is hereby announced for your comments for 24 hours. If I don't hear any objection, they both will be our representatives and their names will be forwarded to WG chairs. * -- Dr. Hong Xue Professor of Law Director of Institute for the Internet Policy & Law (IIPL) Beijing Normal University http://www.iipl.org.cn/ 19 Xin Jie Kou Wai Street Beijing 100875 China
