Individual Member Discussion
by Maureen Hilyard Oct. 23, 2015

Oct. 23, 2015

Dear APRALO members https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+Rules+of+Procedures+Revie… On the workspace whose link is above, I have summarised some of the face-to-face discussion we had today at our monthly meeting, plus some comments that were already on the workspace about INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP. Before we move on to a formal set of criteria if would be good to get a sense of others' views on the following points: - should we expect individuals to prove that they are not affiliated with any ICANN or ALS related organisations - if so how would they do this? - what evidence should the provide to show that they are actually working on end-user activities and are aware of what ICANN is and does - should we impose timeframed membership for all ALSes as well as individual members - it would make it easier to get rid of the deadwood as Satish suggests? - should we impose a similar set of metrics for individual members as we do for ALSes? - What is an optimum sized package for an individual members ALS? - what process should we expect for them to vote for their representative of their ALS-type organisation? - should we be encouraging individual membership or encouraging ALSes? - Should we make it harder to be an individual member so that we can encourage more ALSes (to enable outreach from a common governance or technical starting point?) I would really appreciate your comments Maureen

REMOTE HUBS for ICANN 54 - Information on terms and online application form
by ICANN At-Large Staff Oct. 5, 2015

Oct. 5, 2015

Dear All, We would like to ensure that everyone is aware that the refreshed ICANN Remote Hub Terms and Online Application has gone live on ICANN's Meeting Webpage<https://meetings.icann.org/en> as well as on the Dublin Schedule Page <https://meetings.icann.org/en/dublin54/schedule-full> . The application form will close on October 14th, in time for decisions to be made on entities that will ultimately host and Tech team preparation. This refreshed version of the ICANN Meeting Remote Hubs is a very deliberate attempt to prioritize engagement around groups of interested participants from developing nations who might not otherwise have the ICANN Meeting experience though (not excluding anyone who has the right motivations to bring ICANN community and stakeholders together in all ICANN regions). We want to focus on simulating the physical room experience, promoting lively and topical discussion between the remote participants as would happen in a face to face environment...and see positive outcomes related to more engagement and participation both regionally and within the ICANN communities. Any feedback should be sent to : engagement(a)icann.org<mailto:engagement@icann.org>. Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Ariel Liang, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie Peregrine and Terri Agnew ICANN Policy Staff in support of ALAC E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> Facebook: www.facebook.com/icann<https://www.facebook.com/icannatlarge>atlarge<https://www.facebook.com/icannatlarge> Twitter: @<https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge>ICANNAtLarge<https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge>
