FRIENDLY REMINDER: Review on Trusted Community Representation #Root #Zone #DNSSEC [Call for Comments]
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro Feb. 4, 2014

Feb. 4, 2014

Dear All, The call for comments from At Large closes on 7th February, 2014. There is currently some difference in views on whether the Trusted Community Representatives (TCRs) should have indefinite terms of whether this should rotated. Should TCRs continue to remain self funded or should they be funded? There are also a few other important aspects of this that we would like to consult the wider community on before amending the draft. For those of you who have already commented, thank you. I am mindful that we still have not heard from others. Feel free to comment directly on the wiki via the link below or by responding to this thread. https://community.icann.org/x/nge6Ag Your input into this process will help us finalize the Draft. May we have your views please? Kind Regards, Sala On Mon, Feb 3, 2014 at 7:45 AM, Salanieta T.

Reminder about CROPP travel support opportunities for our Region for Outreach Activities between end March and end June 2014
by Cheryl Langdon-Orr Jan. 29, 2014

Jan. 29, 2014

Hi all I know Ali has mentioned this several times and we have discussed the details of this exciting pilot program over the last few months at our meetings, but we wanted to remind you all that if you are thinking about applying for travel support under this programme there are very particular parameters to be met... and you need to remember that CROPP travel requests cannot be used for travel to a regularly scheduled ICANN meetings. See https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Terms+and+Obligations+for+At-La… and https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=42733765 So if you are aware of an opportunity that does fall within the parameters, and that is happening (completed) before June 30, 2014 and remembering the usual process time for a successful application would be around 8 weeks so probably happening no earlier than end March; please do let us know (Ali and I are happy to answer any questions you might have of course) as we and your RALO Leaders, are keen to see this pilot programme succeed for all our Regions. *Cheryl Langdon-Orr* and *Ali AlMesha*l (AP-Regional representatives) *ALAC / At-Large CROPP Review Team 2013/14* _______________________________________________ *Cheryl Langdon-Orr ... **(CLO)* http://about.me/cheryl.LangdonOrr
