Huge Achievement for At Large /Was ICANN Hires First Consumer Safeguards Director
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro May 24, 2017

May 24, 2017

Dear All, When I read this news, I could not help but think of the work over the years on addressing consumer rights and issues by the wider At Large community, previous Executives of RALOs around the world and previous ALAC members and At Large representatives to the Board over the years. This is a win for ALL!! Special acknowledgement to all the Accredited At Large Structures who over the years have contributed to raising issues related to end users from AFRALO, APRALO, EURALO, LACRALO, NARALO. The future has arrived. Celebrations AT LARGE! Warm Regards, Sala T [Signing in from Vanuatu] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ICANN News Alert <no-reply(a)external.icann.org> Date: Wed, May 24, 2017 at 11:33 AM Subject: ICANN News Alert -- ICANN Hires First Consumer Safeguards Director To: salanieta.tamanikaiwaimaro(a)gmail.com [image: ICANN] <http://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-05-23-en ------------------------------ ICANN Hires First Consumer Safeguards Director 23 May 2017 LOS ANGELES – 23 May 2017 – ICANN announced today that Bryan Schilling will be joining as the organization's first Consumer Safeguards Director, reporting directly to Jamie Hedlund, SVP Contractual Compliance and Consumer Safeguards. Bryan brings over 15 years of international law and government affairs experience to ICANN, the majority of which is derived from working on data privacy and technology issues in the global law enforcement and security space. [image: ICANN Hires First Consumer Safeguards Director] <https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/assets/bryan-schilling-300x330-23…> Speaking about the role, Schilling commented, "Over the years, I've developed a passion for finding ways to balance the competing rights and needs of individual users, businesses, intellectual property owners and law enforcement." He went on to add, "I'm excited to bring that passion to Jamie's team and to the ICANN community to raise awareness of ICANN's current safeguards, facilitate discussion across stakeholders concerning additional ways ICANN could potentially improve its safeguard mechanisms and help the community formulate other collaborative means to address illegal, infringing, and abusive activity impacting the DNS." A wide array of strong, experienced candidates applied for the role, but Schilling stood out due to his work on Internet public policy issues with industry, civil society and government. "Bryan's experience, energy and passion are a great addition to ICANN," said Hedlund. "He will hit the ground running, meeting with stakeholders in Johannesburg and afterwards to catalyze the community discussion on consumer safeguards. Bryan will apply his strong analytical and engagement skills to facilitate community dialogue on the efficacy of existing consumer safeguards, potential enhancements, limits on ICANN's authority and expertise, and voluntary initiatives to combat abuse." For several years, Bryan served as an Assistant General Counsel with the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Office of General Counsel. Working in the agency's National Security Law Branch, he collaborated with U.S. and international law enforcement officers, prosecutors and analysts on cross-border terrorism matters. He also provided legal support to criminal and cyber investigations including matters impacting the Internet and the Domain Name System. After the FBI, Bryan went on to work for global technology and manufacturing companies, including Microsoft and Google. In those roles, he worked with his colleagues, non-governmental organizations, industry counterparts and government agencies on cross-border regulatory compliance matters, cybersecurity, privacy, transparency, and legal issues surrounding government access to user data. Bryan began his legal career in private practice in Washington, D.C. and he is a graduate of the George Washington University School of Law and the University of Cincinnati's College of Arts and Sciences. Bryan will work out of ICANN's Los Angeles office starting 1 June 2017.

WEBCAST TODAY: Global Internet Governance – Successes and Challenges for ICANN and beyond
by Joly MacFie May 18, 2017

May 18, 2017

At the DLD Conference <http://www.dld-conference.com/DLDnyc17> in NYC last week *Elliot Noss*, President and CEO of Tucows, addressed the assembled throng of developers, designers and entrepreneurs. He bade them, if they wanted to see some true innovation, to take a closer look at ICANN, He noted that ICANN's global organic governance model - one that transcends nations, borders, and governments - is unprecedented in the annals of human history, and suggested it should be recognized, cherished, and supported. In reality there are those of us deeply embedded in the processes who kind of take it for granted, and others to whom, if they have heard of it at all, it is an enigma. Hopefully today's event will be contribute, in a small way, to bridging that gap, while bringing its activities into perspective. joly posted: "Today, Thursday May 18 2017 the Internet Society New York Chapter will host a lunchtime session - Global Internet Governance – Successes and Challenges for ICANN and beyond.

Please take the time to read through the info and look at the ways one can *participate* <http://globalaccessibilityawarenessday.org/participate.html>.including the *no-mouse challenge* <http://nomouse.org/>. I already did my bit this morning when my keyboard packed up in the middle of streaming the Sri Lanka IGF. [image: GAAD] <http://globalaccessibilityawarenessday.org/participate.html> Today, *Thursday May 18 2017*, is the sixth annual *Global Accessibility Awareness Day <http://globalaccessibilityawarenessday.org/>* (GAAD). The purpose of GAAD is to get everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital (web, software, mobile, etc.) access/inclusion and people with different disabilities. The target audience of GAAD is the design, development, usability, and related communities who build, shape, fund and influence technology and its use. While people may be interested in the topic of making technology accessible and usable by persons with disabilities, the reality is that they often do not know how or where to start. *Awareness comes first.* Read the *blog post by Joe Devon <http://mysqltalk.wordpress.com/2011/11/27/challenge-accessibility-know-how-…>* that originally inspired GAAD.

Re: [At-Large] Auction Proceeds - where we are and what you can help

> I agree. There is a generally lack of knowledge about ICANN in my community. I'm sure there's a lack of knowledge about all sorts of things, but that doesn't mean there is a charitable purpose to PR about them. ICANN is bound by American 501(c)(3) rules, and while "educational" is one of the permitted purposes, it'd be quite a stretch to say that telling someone wbout how great and important one is would be educational.
