Internet Governance Forum (IGF) Retreat Summary of Proceedings [Open Call for comments on proceedings]
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro July 23, 2016

July 23, 2016

Dear All, Warm Greetings! Following the MAG meeting at the United Nations Headquarters in New York where we convened to grade workshop proposals for the IGF that will be held in Guadalajara, Mexico between 4th-6th December, 2016, I went to the Retreat where 35 people deliberated on process of continual improvement of the IGF. Below is a brief report and should you have any questions, please feel free to email me offline. A two-day working retreat was facilitated by the United Nations Secretariat for 14-16 July 2016 in Glen Cove, New York on Advancing the 10-Year Mandate of the IGF, as part of the process of continual improvement of the IGF. I am attaching the Summary of Proceedings and a picture of Retreat Participants. It was a privilege to be part of the Retreat and for those of you who made substantive input prior to the Retreat, thank you. There is an open call for input and comments on proceedings to allow you to add your creative energy and thought processes on how to better improve the IGF process. The retreat is part of a larger ongoing process aimed at improving the IGF. The retreat facilitated a strategic dialogue to be held among experts, policymakers and practitioners in enriching IGF as the global forum for facilitating multistakeholder policy discussion and exchange on public policy issues related to key elements of Internet governance, in order to foster the sustainability, robustness, security, stability and development of the Internet, as mandated the *Tunis Agenda para 72.* As part of the discussion, the retreat welcomed inputs on how IGF can contribute to the implementation of the *2030 Agenda for **Sustainable Development.* To recall, in the outcome document of the General Assembly on the overall review of the outcomes of WSIS (A/RES/70/125 of 16 December 2015), the existing mandate of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) was extended for another 10 years, with a call to show “progress on working modalities and the participation of relevant stakeholders from developing countries” and “accelerated implementation of recommendations in the report of the Working Group on Improvements to the Internet Governance Forum of the Commission on Science and Technology for Development” The document summarising the proceedings of the IGF Retreat is now online on the IGF website : To download PDF of the proceedings: http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/igf-meeting/igf-2016/812-igf-retre… To comment on the proceedings (blog style) : http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/2016-06-23-15-15-52/igf-retreat-proceedings *Public Consultation:* Additionally, we are preparing for a public consultation. A compilation (organized by topic) of the ideas and suggestions that emerged from the retreat will be made available in a format that permits paragraph by paragraph commenting. This public consultation will be open until *26 September, 2016*. Please share your comments and additional suggestions for review by the community, and as input to the 2016 Internet Governance Forum (IGF): ‘Enabling Inclusive and Sustainable Growth’, scheduled to take place from 6-9 December 2016 in Guadalajara, Mexico. *Additional Information about Processes surrounding the Retreat* Finally, for those who may be interested, the process followed during the retreat was the following: - retreat agenda agreed after public comment period and review by retreat participants - each session was facilitated by 2 retreat participants, and supported by 1 session rapporteur (also a retreat participant) - most sessions used break-out groups (except for introductory and summing up sessions) - a rapporteur was chosen for each break-out group (a retreat participant chosen by the group) - each break-out group rapporteur reported back to the full group and the session rapporteur captured the comments - additionally, all the DESA/IGF secretariat personnel took notes and these were synthesized into the facilitator's session reports, which all participants were asked to review Kind Regards, -- *Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro aka Sala T* *P. O. Box 17862* *Suva* *Republic of Fiji* *Cell: +679 7656770; * *Home: +679 3362003* *Twitter: @SalanietaT* *"You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honour." Aristotle*

!! 3 hours left !! : Call for Candidates - ALAC Liaison to the CSC
by ICANN At-Large Staff July 14, 2016

July 14, 2016

Dear All, On behalf of Alan Greenberg, Chair of the ALAC, the call for candidates for the ALAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee (CSC) is now open. Interested members from the At-Large community should send their 1) expression of interest and 2) resume, curriculum vitae, or biography, to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> by 23:59 UTC on 14 July 2016. In their expression of interest, candidates should respond to the following: 1. Name 2. Affiliation 3. Geographic region 4. Skill set and experience (please provide additional details to the following): a. Direct experience and knowledge of the IANA naming function b. Analytical skills, ability to interpret quantitative and qualitative evidence, and capacity to draw conclusions purely based on evidence. c. Able to work and communicate in written and spoken English d. Effective communication skills e. Experience in managing and/or participating in committees (e.g. meeting coordination, reporting, and escalation) in order to contribute meaningfully to CSC processes f. Demonstrated ability in relationship management to support diplomatic discussion, consensus driven decision making, and productive negotiation 5. Other skill set or experience relevant to CSC’s work 6. Explanation of interest in becoming involved in the CSC 7. Understanding of the purpose of the CSC 8. Able to meet the time commitment<https://www.icann.org/iana_imp_docs/39-csc-candidates-qualification-require…> required to participate in the CSC 9. As ALAC Liaison to the CSC, what do you believe that your main responsibilities will be, both within the CSC and in relation to the ALAC? Please use the expression of interest template (.docx file attached) to fill out the required information. Candidates' Expression of Interest (EoI) submissions will be reviewed by the ALAC Candidate Selection Committee which will forward its preferred EoIs to the ALAC for final selection and/or ratification. BACKGROUND On 10 March 2016, the ICANN Board transmitted to the U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Agency (NTIA) a package of proposals<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-stewardship-transition-pac…>developed by the international Internet community to transition NTIA’s stewardship of the IANA functions to the global multistakeholder community. One of the things that this package calls for is the creation of a Customer Standing Committee (CSC) to provide operational oversight of the performance of the IANA naming function, a role currently performed by NTIA. The scope and responsibility of the CSC is available here<https://www.icann.org/iana_imp_docs/43-csc-scope-and-responsibilities-v-v2>. The membership composition of the CSC, as specified in the package of proposals, includes one Liaison appointed by the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), who will serve an inaugural three-year term. Liaisons shall not be members or be entitled to vote on the CSC, but otherwise shall be entitled to participate on equal footing with members of the CSC. Participation in the CSC is voluntary. The CSC is expected to perform the majority of its work telephonically and via email. Travel funding will not be provided. PROCESS The ALAC is responsible for appointing a primary and a secondary candidate that meet the qualification requirements in the expression of interest, and are geographically diverse. The ALAC should forward the Liaison candidates to the CSC for consideration no later than 23:59 UTC on 22 July 2016. The Membership Selection Process of the CSC Charter calls for due consideration to be given, to the extent possible, to form a CSC that has diversity in terms of geography and skill set. To that end, the composition of the slate will be reviewed during two points in the selection process: firstly by the RySG and ccNSO and secondly by the ccNSO and GNSO. The ccNSO and GNSO Councils will also make a decision regarding which members and liaisons will serve an inaugural three-year term. The ccNSO and GNSO Councils will notify ICANN and the appointing organizations of the final composition of the CSC. The notification will take place on or around 10 August 2016.
