At-Large Travel Policy
by Nick Ashton-Hart June 11, 2007

June 11, 2007

Dear Community: I'd like to advise you of an update to the At-Large Travel Policy, attached in four language editions below. The change is to advise you that ICANN are adopting a per-diem based system for expenses over and above those paid directly by ICANN. For those attending the San Juan meeting from LAC, NA, and the ALAC committee, a separate email will advise you on the per diem details for the meeting. Current versions of the travel policy, and all forms, will always be available at: https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi? policies_and_procedures. -- 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

ICANN Response to One World Trust Review of ICANN's Accountability and Transparency
by Robert Guerra June 7, 2007

June 7, 2007

http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-2-07jun07.htm http://www.icann.org/transparency/mop-update-07jun07.htm ICANN Response to One World Trust Review of ICANN's Accountability and Transparency — Structures and Practices and Update on Management Operating Principles Development Consultation 7 June 2007 As has been previously advised, ICANN is in the process of preparing a set of management operating principles for accountability and transparency. As part of the development of these principles, ICANN commissioned the One World Trust (OWT) organisation (http:// www.oneworldtrust.org) to review ICANN’s transparency and accountability as one of a number of initiatives aimed at further improvements in this area. The terms of reference for the report were designed to allow a wide-ranging review. In March this year, during the ICANN Lisbon meeting, ICANN released the review by OWT . The report says that overall ICANN is a very transparent organisation, noting that it shares a large quantity of information through its website, probably more than any other global organisation. The report contained an action plan with 39 recommendations intended to further improve standards of accountability and transparency within ICANN. The report is also being used as an input for the development of the management operating principles in addition to input from the community received so far. The attached document outlines ICANN’s response to each of the recommendations in the OWT report. The bulk of the recommendations are accepted and are in the process of being implemented; some others have been referred to the Nominating Committee and Board reviews which will take place this year, or to the GNSO Improvements Working Group, for further consideration.

Re: [At-Large] [NA-Discuss] Personal Names in the DNS
by Robert Guerra June 7, 2007

June 7, 2007

Danny: The Protection of the Rights of Others Working Group should not only address issues raised by the IP constituency, but also "user" related issues - such as the registration of individual names. Definitely would support that at-large take this up. Would be good to have a comment drafted in response to the report on or by the San Juan meeting.
