The Public Interest Registry (PIR), the operator of the .NGO and .ONG top
level domains (see
http://pir.org/products/ngo-ong-domain/), is looking for one person
to represent the ALAC in its NGO Community Advisory Council. The Advisory
Council provides important feedback and advice on issues relating to the
NGO community ranging from policy considerations to the introduction of
new services.
The NGO Community Advisory Council plays a vital role in helping Public
Interest Registry fulfill its mission. With .ngo domain users
representing NGOs of varying size, sectors,scope and geography, it is
important to have advocates in the Internet community who fully
understand their needs as diverse service-based organizations. The
Council continually lends its unique global expertise to help us meet
those needs and strengthen our efforts in supporting NGOs
worldwide.
The Advisory Council meets Face-to-Face annually (generally in September)
and via teleconference four times per year.
To the extent allowed by PIR confidentiality rules, the successful
applicant will be expected to regularly report to the ALAC on Advisory
Council issues and if applicable consult with the ALAC.
PIR has asked the ALAC to identify a number of candidates. Ideally, such
candidates will come from an active At-Large ALS that has a proven record
of engagement with the NGO community. Candidates should have notable
leadership experience in non-commercial/civil society community and an
acute understanding of the issues and policies that affect the NGO
society. Candidates should submit their Expression of Interest detailing
their experience, expertise and qualifications along with a statement
that they have sufficient time and interest to fulfill the Advisory
Council duties.
The ALAC Appointee Selection Committee will review all EoIs and will
select a small number which will be forwarded to PIR. The final selection
on the ALAC Representative will be done by the PIR Nominating
Committee.
All EoIs must be sent to
