Dear All, The ALAC periodically appoint individuals to represent the interests of the ALAC and the At-Large Community, to act on behalf of the ALAC or to meet other specific obligations, to various bodies within or outside of ICANN. Among such ALAC Appointees are our formal liaisons to the GAC, the SSAC, the GNSO, and the ccNSO. While equally strategic to the ALAC, these 4 Liaisons carry varying responsibilities, often demanding differing knowledge, skills and time commitments, and even the right temperament, to be successful in their respective roles. Whether you just want to better understand the scope of work for these 4 ALAC Liaisons, or are aspiring for selection as an ALAC Liaison in the future, please join us for a series of planned Fireside Chats which will continue into 2026. To kick off the series, two At-Large Fireside Chats with the ALAC Liaison to the GNSO, Justine Chew, have been scheduled, to accommodate the various time-zones: * Tuesday, 16 December 2025 at 19:00 UTC (60 minutes) * Agenda page with details: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/GADFJw [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/GAD…> * Zoom registration: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/SP7knIu0QUm7xY6AmQz3Aw [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/SP7knIu0Q…> * Thursday, 18 December 2025 at 13:00 UTC (60 minutes) * Agenda page with details: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/QYDNJw [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/QYD…> * Zoom registration: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/9N35VNN5RuuWc7wFXYH5EQ [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/9N35VNN5R…> These Fireside Chats form part of the FY2026 At-Large Capacity Development Initiatives [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1Hnv5EnPAOu99…>.

Parmi ces personnes nommées par l'ALAC figurent nos interlocuteurs officiels auprès du GAC, du SSAC, du GNSO et du ccNSO. Bien qu'aussi stratégiques pour l'ALAC, ces quatre interlocuteurs ont des responsabilités différentes, exigeant souvent des connaissances, des compétences et un investissement en temps variés, voire un tempérament adapté, pour mener à bien leurs missions respectives. Que vous souhaitiez simplement mieux comprendre le rôle de ces quatre agents de liaison ALAC ou que vous envisagiez d'être sélectionné(e) comme agent de liaison ALAC à l'avenir, nous vous invitons à participer à une série de discussions informelles qui se poursuivront jusqu'en 2026.
