Under APRALO diversity, the spelling for Niue is wrong. It should be as I have written it, not Nuie.

Comments and Recommendations as a member of the GNSO Post Expiry Domain Name Recovery working group.
by Sivasubramanian M June 7, 2010

June 7, 2010

Hello I have been a part of the GNSO PEDNR working group as a member with affiliation to Isoc India Chennai as an at-Large sturcture. On various problems related to the Domain name renewal / expiry / redemption, some of the positions that I have taken and the comments that I have posted are shown in the attached PDF. Most of my suggestions arise in the average user's interest.I am posting this for comments from the At Large Structures and RALO officers to ask if any of these suggestions must be pressed for inclusion. Apart from the points mentioned in this PDF, I have also tried to argue that at-Large / NCSG as user's organizations may look into the terms of the domain registration contracts as drafted by the Registrars. The rationale is that the average Registrant signs the routine registration agreements without clearly understanding the clauses of these one-sided agreements. At-Large, for instance, which includes Legal Experts as part of its member base could take up this task of negotiating better terms for the benefit of the average Registrant.

I agree...I will miss him too. In the interest of transparency, however, I would like to know more about any non-personal issues that are naturally raised by the sentence, "At the same time, he also requested that his ALS, the Aotearoa Maori Internet Organization, withdraw from the At-Large community." The answer may have something to teach us. If it's simply part of the personal decision, that's fine and certainly respected. -----Original Message----- >From: "Thompson, Darlene" <DThompson(a)GOV.NU.CA> >Sent: May 26, 2010 12:02 PM >To: ALAC Internal List <alac-internal(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org>, apac-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org >Cc: alac-internal(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org, ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org>, James Seng <james.seng(a)gmail.com> >Subject: Re: [ALAC-Internal] Announcement of Resignation of APRALO ChairKaraitiana Taiuru > >Well, I for one will certainly miss Karaitiana and wish him the best in his new endeavours! > >D > >Darlene A.

Announcement of Resignation of APRALO Chair Karaitiana Taiuru
by Heidi Ullrich May 27, 2010

May 27, 2010

Dear All, Karaitiana earlier today tendered his immediate resignation as Chair of APRALO. In tendering his resignation, Karaitiana asked that APRALO be informed that his “personal circumstances unexpectedly changed so much that [he is] relieving [himself] of many of [his] commitments including APRALO. [His] new work commitments have also been interfering with APRALO over recent months”. He does so with much sorrow and regret. At the same time, he also requested that his ALS, the Aotearoa Māori Internet Organization, withdraw from the At-Large community. Regarding the process to fill the vacancy made available by Karaitiana’s resignation, the APRALO Operating Principles address this circumstance in the following manner: “If a vacancy occurs a replacement for the remainder of the term shall be selected at an extraordinary Meeting” (Part 3. Paragraph 5.5). Therefore, the face-to-face APRALO meeting scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 22 June at 05:00 UTC in Brussels will be designated an Extraordinary Meeting in order to formally select a replacement for the remainder of Karaitiana’s term which will run through the 2011 APRALO General Assembly. The resignation of his ALS will also be formally noted during this meeting. This APRALO Extraordinary Meeting, which is scheduled for the normal monthly meeting time of 05:00 UTC, will offer remote participation abilities, including an Adigo phone bridge and an Adobe Connect Chatroom so that all members of APRALO may be able to actively participate in this meeting. In the weeks prior to this Extraordinary Meeting, Cheryl, as Chair of ALAC, has requested that the two Vice-Chairs, Les and Fouad, decide which one shall serve as temporary chair (or they may decide to serve as co-chairs) until the time the Chair position is formally filled. The temporary chair(s) are also requested to issue a call for elections for a chair to serve the remainder of Karaitiana’s term. Karaitiana had requested that we pass his best wishes to APRALO and notes that he will miss the challenges and meetings. On behalf of At-Large in ICANN, we warmly thank Karaitiana for his years of service and commitment to APRALO as well as for his participation in At-Large and ICANN. 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

FWD message from Karaitiana Taiuru, regarding recent discussions on these lists...
by Cheryl Langdon-Orr May 27, 2010

May 27, 2010

Dear list subscribers despite me stating the thread was at an end I will make this exception because Karaitiana has asked me to pass the following on to you all... The pity is he had to take the time to do so *sigh*... However I promised him I would pass it on, and now I have... => back to END of DISCUSSION and as list(s) moderator *I can make that ruling*.... <snip from email sent to me from Karaitiana earlier today > Hi Cheryl, I noticed my resignation has caused some questions and concerns amongst the ALAC community. Perhaps you could pass this on. I would like to assure ALAC that my resignation is solely to do with unexpected personal circumstances and nothing at all to do with ICANN or politics or any other thing other than personal reasons. The swiftness of the acceptance of my resignation was a sign of respect that I appreciate. I believe in the RALO's and ALAC and will always be an advocate for it. The removal of the ALS from APRALO. This has been a long time coming and despite my best efforts to revive the organisation it has recently become redundant. The removal of our web site was the last piece in our redundancy process. Essentially we did our job so well that we no longer need to exist. The original people we represented are no longer our stakeholders and thus we are not a representative group for APRALO. InternetNZ is still an ALS from New Zealand and will by default absorb our stakeholders. I trust this will clear the matters up. Warm regards, Karaitiana Taiuru<end snip> Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO)

Beau in reply to your question 'for transparency sake' let me assure you and all list subscribers, both as Chair of the ALAC and as an APRALO representative to the ALAC, that KT's decision was most certainly, (as you put it) "simply part of the personal decision" ... Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO)
