October 2007 Meeting Location Announced
by Nick Ashton-Hart May 18, 2007

May 18, 2007

http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-17may07.htm Location of Third ICANN Meeting for 2007 17 May 2007 ICANN advises that the public meeting scheduled to be held from 29 October through 2 November 2007 will take place in Los Angeles, California, USA. ICANN holds three public meetings each year. The location of these meetings are rotated through the five ICANN regions and selected on the basis of proposals received from various local groups interested in hosting the meeting. The announced region for the location of the October 2007 meeting was Asia Pacific. A review of proposals from two potential hosts determined that it was not possible to proceed at this time due to various logistical issues. ICANN examined a number of non-hosted locations in the Asia Pacific in attempt to adhere to the Asia Pacific rotation. Again, for reasons of logistics, cost and seasonal demand, it proved extremely difficult to find a location. Given this situation it has been decided to locate this meeting in Los Angeles. Without a host this maximizes the capacity of staff to resource the event in an efficient and economical way. The location is also a major travel hub and the quantity of hotel accommodation means that this should prove to be a less expensive meeting than some other options. ICANN recognizes that, following the upcoming meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico, this means two meetings in a row held in the United States. As a result, ICANN today is posting a request for proposal to host ICANN meetings in 2008, as well as the dates and rotations for meetings to be held in 2009 and 2010. As part of this posting, ICANN has modified the rotation to designate the region for the first meeting in 2008 as Asia Pacific. The next scheduled North American meeting has been removed from the rotation. Due to the increased participation at the ICANN meetings, significant changes have been made to the requirements to host an ICANN meeting, with ICANN assuming more responsibility for planning and finances. Proposals to host the three 2008 meetings will be accepted through 15 June 2007. The 2008 – 2010 meeting rotation schedule can be found at http:// www.icann.org/meetings/ and the request for proposal to host ICANN meetings in 2008 can be found at http://www.icann.org/meetings/rfp/ rfp-2007.htm. Questions regarding hosting a meeting should be addressed to the ICANN meeting staff at meeting(a)icann.org. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom Main Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011] USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 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

San Juan meeting - volunteers for the planning
by Jacqueline A. Morris May 17, 2007

May 17, 2007

Hello everyone The ALAC is planning 2 workshops at the San Juan meeting. One is on TLDs, and is being ably organized by Wolfgang Kleinwachter. The other is on the top policy issues and the AtLarge view of such (you can see a listing at the wiki – HYPERLINK "https://st.icann.org/alac"https://st.icann.org/alac.) However we need to narrow this listing down and plan the workshop with speakers, background materials etc. If anyone is interested in assisting to organize the 2nd workshop, please contact me directly or you can also contact HYPERLINK "mailto:staff@alac.icann.org"staff(a)alac.icann.org Thanks Jacqueline A.

Re: [At-Large] Alac liaison on security & stability advisory committee .. ?

Just a caution - the Bylaws do not guarantee At-Large a liaison-ship on SSAC, but nothing prevents the ALAC from requesting the SSAC to allow one to be appointed.

At-Large community involvement in policy development
by Nick Ashton-Hart May 16, 2007

May 16, 2007

Dear Community: In order to broaden the opportunities for At-Large throughout the world to get involved in the development of policy throughout ICANN, the existing liaisons which ALAC has appointed to the various standing bodies of ICANN is asking for volunteers! Mailing lists have been established to help the existing liaisons get some help - these are big jobs for one person to handle as they sometimes involve participating in several different committees or working groups. The new mailing lists can be found below. In addition, on the ALAC wiki is a new section to keep you up-to-date on what is going on. Visit https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi? at_large_policy_working_groups and you will find an evolving and growing set of pages telling you what At-Large is involved in - and how you can get involved in too!

Re: [At-Large] Public Comment Period opens on Telnic proposal to amend registry agreement for .TEL gTLD
by Nick Ashton-Hart May 15, 2007

May 15, 2007

http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-11may07.htm. ICANN Opens Comment Period on Telnic Proposal 11 May 2007 On 27 April 2007, ICANN posted for public information a proposal from Telnic Ltd., the sponsor of the .TEL top-level domain, to amend the .TEL Registry Agreement. Specifically, Telnic is seeking to alter the public display of Whois for TEL customers pursuant to Appendix S, Section VII of the .TEL Registry Agreement (http://www.icann.org/tlds/ agreements/tel/appendix-s-07apr06.htm#Part7). (Telnic intends to launch registry operations in late 2007/early 2008.) Telnic’s request states that they have been in communication with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office concerning Telnic’s current contractual obligations on Whois. However, there is no pending enforcement action against Telnic, therefore this is not a situation that would trigger the Draft ICANN Procedure for Handling Whois Conflicts with Privacy Law (http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois- privacy/whois_national_laws_procedure.htm). In addition, this change is being proposed while discussion continues within the GNSO Policy Development Process on Whois. Telnic (and all gTLD registries) will be required to comply with new Whois consensus policy when approved by the Board. As provided for by existing consensus policy (http://www.icann.org/ registries/rsep/rsep.html), ICANN has undertaken a preliminary determination period to determine whether the proposed service might raise significant security or stability, or competition issues. ICANN's determination is that the proposed amendment does not raise such issues. The next step in evaluation is that (because implementation of the proposal would require a change to the .TEL Registry Agreement) ICANN will post the proposed amendment, solicit public comment and refer the proposal to the ICANN Board for consideration. A copy of the proposed amendment is available at http://www.icann.org/ tlds/agreements/tel/tel-amendment-30may07.pdf [PDF, 25K] and provides for changes to Appendix 1, Appendix 5 and Appendix S, Part VI of the .TEL Registry Agreement. The comments on the proposal may be submitted to registryservice(a)icann.orguntil 11 June 2007 23:59 UTC and may be viewed at http://forum.icannorg/lists/registryservice/. The process for considering new registry services is posted athttp:// www.icann.org/registries/rsep/rsep.html. All documentation regarding this proposed service and corresponding comment forum has been previously posted as part of the procedure at http://www.icann.org/ registries/rsep/#2007004. -- Patrick Patrick L.

San Juan meeting - Notice of holiday on the 24th of June
by Mr. Robert Guerra May 15, 2007

May 15, 2007

In case some of you may not know it, the 24th of June is a big national holiday in Puerto Rico, especially San Juan. Any events and/ or meetings taking place that day should be so advised. Public holidays in Puerto Rico http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holidays_in_Puerto_Rico June 24 Saint John's Day Since John the Baptist is the patron saint of the Island and the namesake of the capital city (San Juan), his day is widely celebrated by big parties on the beaches. One tradition is to walk backward into the ocean and fall in at the end of the party. regards, Robert --- Robert Guerra <rguerra(a)privaterra.org> Managing Director, Privaterra Tel +1 416 893 0377

Sorry, I think there is a misunderstanding here. My apologies for helping to create one. For the regional meetings, EACH ALS may designate one delegate. This means that not one or two people are coming from the regions, but much larger numbers. As to who chooses to go: each ALS chooses who their delegate is.
