Re: [At-Large] Fwd: ALERT: ICANN67 Public Meeting Will Now Be Remote Participation

I *KNOW* that such subsidies would be necessary but I also suspect the logistics would make it very difficult to pull off. That being said, I am not all that positive about the idea of the full-remote meeting. We know the difficulty at getting full attendance even when everyone is at a F2F meeting. The difficulty of carving out time when you are still actually in your home city, coupled with the time zone issue for many, will make it VERY difficult to get anywhere the attendance or more important the level of work done. Alan At 20/02/2020 06:53 AM, Evan Leibovitch wrote: Maybe if this forced experiment succeeds more meetings will be done this way. Being more virtual provides a more-level playing field that reduces opportunities for corridor lobbying and "squeaky wheel"-based policy making. ALAC should press Constituency Travel to ensure that accommodations are made for otherwise-funded participants who may have poor local internet. Such assistance could be in the form of temporary subsidy for Internet improvement or travel to the nearest location with video-streaming-capable Internet access. ICANN's substantial cost savings realized through the cancellation -- even considering forfeited deposits -- should more than cover any cost of ensuring that the ALAC 25 as well as others who are typically funded are not disadvantaged because of poor connectivity at home. - Evan On Wed, 19 Feb 2020 at 21:02, Maureen Hilyard < maureen.hilyard(a)gmail.com<mailto:maureen.hilyard@gmail.com>> wrote: Subject: ALERT: ICANN67 Public Meeting Will Now Be Remote Participation Dear Ms. Maureen Hilyard: The ICANN67 Public Meeting, which was to be held in CancÃºn, Mexico, will now be held via remote participation-only.

The International Institute of Communications 2020 for Future Leaders - ‘Is it possible to breach privacy when there is no human in the loop?’ April 6th, 2020
by Joanna Kulesza Feb. 19, 2020

Feb. 19, 2020

Dear all, thought this might be of interest to some. Apologies for any possible cross posting: *International Institute of Communications 2020 Competition for Future Leaders* *https://www.iicom.org/fln-2020/ <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iicom…>* The International Institute of Communications is an independent, global organisation that brings together senior policy makers from across the emerging digital ecosystem to explore and discuss the opportunities and challenges that the new environments bring. Indeed, across the industry we work in, the rapid pace of technological change and the concurrent emergence of new user behaviours mean that policy makers face ever-evolving challenges to permit innovation, offer protection to all stakeholders (users and industry alike) and respond to political and governmental needs. The strength and value of the IIC is to offer the opportunity to learn and share information, in an atmosphere of collaboration. This is through access, among other factors, to the IIC’s journal: Intermedia, the website, social media presence, global and regional events – all contributing to a matrix of information-sharing, relationships and influence. *What is this initiative?* Now in its third year, the Future Leaders Competition is widening its call for entries to reach an even wider pool of rising stars within the sector who would not normally have access to our events. This ‘Competition for Future Leaders’ seeks to encourage and promote original thought in the areas of communications and policy. *What do you need to do?* Produce a digital report (up to 5,000 words) on the topic of ‘Is it possible to breach privacy when there is no human in the loop?’ Some suggested areas that you might address are: - What does the theme mean to you? What are the policy issues that might be addressed? - What are the benefits and what might be the challenges? - How did your insights and your experience inform your suggested commentary? How did you develop, test, iterate and refine your concept? - Commercial awareness – does your answer make sense from a financial and competitive point of view? - Draw on relevant international examples (if applicable). You should: - Demonstrate a clear point of view - Demonstrate awareness and understanding of contending viewpoints - Provide a structured, clear, and cogent position and justification for that position. *What are the rules?* The IIC 2020 Competition for Future Leaders is a competition run by the International Institute of Communications. By entering the competition, entrants agree to comply with the rules set out below. *Eligibility* The Competition is open to individuals aged 35 and under, working within the TMT communications sector. Entries must be the original work of the author and previously unpublished. *Submission requirements* Only 1 submission per person may be made. All entries must be submitted online. Details will be available in due course. The Competition will open on *6 April 2020*, and the final deadline for entries is *8 June 2020* at 4pm GMT. Please note that late submissions will not be accepted. *Judging* There is a panel of judges who will review the submissions: - Derek Wilding (Chair), University of Technology Sydney, Australia - Andrea Millwood Hargrave, IIC, UK - Paul Mitchell, Senior Director, Technology Policy, Microsoft Corporation - Lisa Felton, Head of Data, Services and Consumer Regulation, Vodafone Group - Sohni Kaur, Director, Strategic Engagement & Analytics, Netflix Submissions will be evaluated on criteria including original thought and analysis. All submissions will be reviewed anonymously. The judges may determine not to award some or all the prizes. The judges’ determinations will be final. *Awards* The overall winner will receive paid travel and accommodation expenses to present their entry at the IIC’s Annual Conference in October 2020 (Country and date tbc). They also will be given £250 for subsistence. The top 10 entries will be published online and the submission from the overall winner will be published in the IIC’s journal, InterMedia, which is distributed to all IIC Members and beyond. The top 10 entries also receive a year’s complimentary Membership to the IIC Future Leaders’ Network, which includes access to the IIC’s networks and resources. *Key Dates* - *6 April 2020 *– Competition opens for submissions - *8 June 2020 *– Final deadline for submissions by 4 pm GMT - *End June 2020 *– Winners announced - *October 2020 –* Overall winner to attend the IIC’s Annual Conference -- Kind regards, Joanna Kulesza ------------------- Joanna Kulesza, PhD University of Lodz, Poland ALAC / EURALO / Capacity Building Working Group Co-Chair SOI: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Joanna+Kulesza+SOI TT: @KuleszaJ
