Re: [APAC-Discuss] [At-Large] Regional Outreach Meeting to be held in April 2008 in Dubai
by Adam Peake Feb. 12, 2008

Feb. 12, 2008

If there isn't outreach to individual users it will be the second time in half a year a major ICANN meeting has taken place in the AP region with no opportunity for contributions from users (or for that matter, civil society organizations.) Not a very good multi-stakeholder model is it. Meeting not on the meeting schedule yet, any additional information available?

All, you may want to have a look at these slides. I guess, it will be a challenge to get new gtlds through this maze of restrictions. No "subversive propaganda", criticism of religion, etc. etc. in domain names. here is the staff's plan to implement council's new gtld recommendations http://www.gnso.icann.org/correspondence/presentation-gnso-new-gtlds-09feb0… best greetings annette

Fwd: [EURO-Discuss] EURALO Delhi report:1
by Izumi AIZU Feb. 11, 2008

Feb. 11, 2008

Hi, Following is a great summary of the Day 1of AtLarge in Delhi, thanks to our EURALO colleague. izumi ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Wolf Ludwig <wolf.ludwig(a)comunica-ch.net> Date: 2008/02/11 12:39 Subject: [EURO-Discuss] EURALO Delhi report:1 To: Europe disc at large <euro-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Hi all, some of us arrived at ICANN's 31st meeting starting tomorrow (Monday) in NewDelhi. Present in Delhi are: Annette, Veronica, Desirée, Sébastien, Wolf (we haven't met Wolfgang so far). Having the opportunity to participate there I intend to send you a short summary from the conference every day. Today we had an ICANN ALAC "One Day" Workshop (Agenda see: https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?10_february_2008 and documents https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?new_delhi_documents) with the following programme: *Briefing /reporting on RALO's and respective (un-)activities; there seems to be some common difficulties to get started and to contribute in a substantial way to ICANN issues so far. *Briefing/reporting by Working Groups: Whois IDN IPv6 (FRA?) User's Summit Domain name tasting Alan Greenberg presented a report on the WG (Domain name tasting) outcome showing that this is the only ALAC-WG so far which has already fulfilled its task. *Presentation by Veronica on "What is an ALAC/At Large Working Group at ICANN?" *Afterwards we discussed in 3 sub-groups on Whois, IDN and IPv6 and came up with 3 respective reports (I think Nick will put them on the ALAC-Wiki the next days). *The last part of today's Workshop programme was a presentation by Kieren McCarthy on Public Participation tools and objectives of ICANN "and how we can use these tools, contribute to future direction and benefit from use of these tools for our desired policy development outcomes". A complete report of today's ALAC Workshop will be posted on Feb. 20. For me it was a good introduction to the 31st ICANN meeting – and particularily having had a first opportunity to meet ALAC folks from different RALOs f2f and personally which is helpful for any discussion and participation. So far, best regards from Delhi, Wolf comunica-ch phone +41 79 204 83 87 www.comunica-ch.net http://blog.allmend.ch - Digitale Allmend _______________________________________________ EURO-Discuss mailing list EURO-Discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/euro-discuss_atlarge-lists.… Homepage for the region: http://www.euralo.org -- >> Izumi Aizu << Institute for HyperNetwork Society, Oita Kumon Center, Tama University, Tokyo Japan * * * * * << Writing the Future of the History >> www.anr.org

Remote Participation in New Delhi At-Large Meetings
by Nick Ashton-Hart Feb. 6, 2008

Feb. 6, 2008

Dear All: Since the 31st International ICANN meeting is now just around the corner - the first At-Large meetings start next Sunday - I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone who will not be there in person of the remote participation options that exist for you. Firstly - At-Large meetings will allow you to hear, and be heard, via telephony as per usual. You can see all the details associated with each meeting from the main At-Large meeting page at: https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?new_delhi_meeting There are several ways for you to get connected. We have made a number of improvements to the remote participation services, thanks in large part to a new vendor for teleconference services for At-Large: 1) Use a freephone number local to you - see https://st.icann.org/asiapac/index.cgi/AdigoITFS_112807.jpg?action=attachme… for a current list. 2) If no freephone number is available in your country, you can have the service dial out to you via a simple web form at: http://go.adigo.com/go/outlink.php?sid=7298 . *IMPORTANT NOTE: The dialling system will only work if you preface your country code with 011 instead of 00.* For those who are participating this way, if for some reason you're connection drops, you can use the form above to get re-connected. You can also contact the conference operator at the AOL/AIM ID: d4500. The Access Code for all calls is: 1638. More broadly, ICANN has many other public participation options for remote participation. These include: * Streaming audio for many sessions - it is anticipated that the audio streams will be in multiple languages for the first time as well; * Chat with other remote participants and the meeting participants in New Delhi - including asking questions for panellists which will be brought to the meeting by meeting moderators; * Forums on various hot topics where you can electronically debate with others. The place to start for all of this is at http://public.icann.org. I hope that many of you will join us remotely in New Delhi! -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN Main Tel: +33 (450) 40 46 88 USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +41 (22) 594-85-44 Mobile: +41 (79) 595 54-68 email: nick.ashton-hart(a)icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart(a)hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart(a)mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart

Feb. 4, 2008

Dear Colleagues: Nirmol suggests several opportunities below for a one-hour session to learn the basics of the SocialText Wiki system, via WebEx. Pavan, perhaps you could liaise and come back with a time and date that works for 3-4 people in the first instance? I am sorry that I cannot coordinate this, but, I'm completely engaged in preparing for the New Delhi meeting... Hint: Sebastien Bachollet discovered this excellent tool for helping a group of people set a common meeting time - perhaps it may be of use to you here.
