2 days left: Call for Candidates - ALAC Liaison to the CSC
by ICANN At-Large Staff July 12, 2016

July 12, 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.

Milestone: The Number of At-Large Structures Reach 200!
by ICANN At-Large Staff June 27, 2016

June 27, 2016

Dear All, Today, on 23 June 2016, we celebrate an exciting milestone in the history of the At-Large Community – the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) has accredited the 200th organization as an At-Large Structure (ALS). From the Arctic to the Cook Islands, ALSes form the basis of the At-Large community, which represents the best interests of Internet users in ICANN’s multistakeholder model. Across the world’s five geographic regions, 92 countries and territories now have ALSes, with 42 ALSes in Africa, 44 in Asia Pacific, 37 in Europe, 50 in Latin America and the Caribbean Islands, and 27 in North America. Since September 2003 when the first ALS, the Internet Society Italy Chapter, was accredited, the At-Large Community has seen a steady increase of ALSes. In the past five years, the At-Large Community has gained approximately 14 ALSes each year. An ALS is a wholly independent organization from ICANN. Whether it is an Internet-related consumer rights groups or an academic organization, ALSes share the passion in furthering the development of Information and Communication Technologies and contributing to policy activities that influence the technical coordination of the Domain Name Systems. In fact, about 33% ALSes are Internet Society Chapters. The ALS accreditation process recognizes that these groups meet ICANN’s criteria for involving individual Internet users at the local or issue level, as well as for promoting individuals’ understanding of and participation in ICANN. Within ICANN, they actively contribute to policy advice development activities and play a key role in ICANN’s regional outreach strategies and civil society engagement. They work to ensure that the Internet continues to serve the global public interest. To learn more about ALSes, please visit: https://atlarge.icann.org/alses.
