Pre- Internet Governance Forum [Update]
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro Oct. 20, 2013

Oct. 20, 2013

Dear All, The Pre- Internet Governance Forum starts tomorrow. Remote participation is available over IPv6! :) To see the schedule for tomorrow's pre-IGF kindly visit: http://igf2013.or.id/preevent/ Snippets from Today *At Large* It was great to see alot of the ALSes at the IGF. There was a fantastic opportunity in meeting some of the chapter representatives and inviting them to apply to join the At Large. I invited both ISOC Japan and ISOC Kenya and they have verbally confirmed that they would apply to be an ALS. It was also great to see At Large representative to the Board, Sebastien Bachollet and other ALSes here bringing colour and diversity to the IGF. Natalia and I are here and we are expecting to see Olivier and Rinalia tomorrow. There are various ALS members who are facilitating/moderating/coordinating workshops at this year's IGF. Staff have organised the directory on the wiki so you can access and select which ones to attend. I would encourage the community to support each other by tweeting, remote attendance, blogging or attending in person and to spread ourselves across the different workshops. I would also encourage ALS members who are on site to use the opportunity when talking to organisations to consider joining the At Large community as an ALS. *Civil Society* I had wanted to attend the Best Bits meeting but could not find the hotel in which they were having the meeting and fatigue had set in from arriving a little past midnight. Norbert Bollow attended this meeting whilst I attended the ISOC sessions. Norbert will be attending the High Level Leaders meeting as an Observer and representing the Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus. Various civil society organisations also held their meetings. The IGC will host its meeting on Tuesday lunch time. Giganet starts tomorrow and promises to be exciting and for the full day. *Internet Society* Today, I attended a Workshop organised by the Chapters Division of ISOC for ISOC chapters which created the opportunity to meet other ISOC Chapter members and discuss various challenges, strengths and opportunities for growth and expansion for chapters. There was also substantial dialogue in terms of how Chapters can contribute to the dialogue on Internet Governance through meaningful participation and being relevant within their own local communities through engaging in strategic engagement on various levels - national, regional and global. There was also discussion on collaboration, enhanced cooperation and meaningful participation. The dialogue is expected to feed into the ISOC organised workshop during the IGF. |This was followed by drinks and dinner for attendees. *ICC Basis* ICC Basis also organised sessions for their constituents which is mainly private sector. *Government* The High Level Leaders meeting will start tomorrow and this is mainly for Government representatives, select Invitees and a handful of observers. Norbert Bollow will be officially attending as an Observer. * * *General Observations and Thoughts* Excitement is building up in Bali as civil society, private sector and public sector prepare to engage in the IGF which starts on Tuesday after tomorrow's Pre-IGF session. There was a call for policy questions to be addressed in this year's IGF. To see a condensed list of the policy questions that will be raised in the Workshops and various thematic sessions, visit: http://intgovforum.org/cms/Policy%20Questions%20to%20be%20addressed%20by%20… Today and tomorrow will be more or less utilized by stakeholders for preparing for engagement in the discussions in this year's IGF. This time last year, stakeholders were apprehensive about the WCIT discussions and outcomes. This year, there is a different type of excitement and nervousness as stakeholders discuss diverse aspects of enhanced cooperation in the face of an ongoing debate on multilateralism v multistakeholderism and philosphical confrontation in the wake of increasing calls for autonomy. This promises to be a very interesting IGF and whilst decisions are not made in IGFs, it acts as a social, economic, political barometer that stakeholders use to chart their strategies and effective participation within the IGF and other foras. For those who are not physically in Bali, remote participation is equal to participating onsite and your views will be heard if you raise them and they become part of the Transcripts as is the norm. It is even more important that you participate and air your views during the workshop and even as you tweet in real time, you are also enabling a much more broader discussion on the issues that have yet to unfold. *Social Media* The twitter #IGF2013 is being used. For those who are not used to tropical climate, it is advisable to increase your water intake to avoid dehydration. Kind Regards, Sala

by ICANN At-Large Staff Oct. 18, 2013

Oct. 18, 2013

Dear All, To prepare for the selection of the Board Member selected by At-Large to be seated at the October 2014 Annual General Meeting, Olivier Crépin-Leblond, the Chair of the ALAC, has asked staff to make an immediate call for members of the two groups who will be responsible for moving the process forward. According to the ALAC Rules of Procedure (2013)<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/2262672/ALAC%2BRoP-06April…>, the two groups are the 2014 Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC) and the 2014 Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC) [please see ALAC Rules of Procedure (2013) Section D.19 - Procedure for Making the Selection to fill Seat 15 on the ICANN Board]. The deadline for members of both groups is 23:59 UTC on Friday, 18 October 2013. If you are interested, or if you wish to nominate someone else, please send a note to At-Large staff at staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> specifying which committee the application or nomination is for and citing any applicable experience by the deadline. A record of all applications and nominations will be posted to either the BMSPC 2014 Workspace<https://community.icann.org/display/ABMS/Board+Member+Selection+Process+Com…> or the BCEC 2014 Workspace<https://community.icann.org/display/ABMS/Board+Candidate+Evaluation+Committ…> as appropriate on the At-Large Board Member 2014 Selection Workspace<https://community.icann.org/display/ABMS/At-Large+Board+Member+2014+Selecti…>. The RALO leadership will send a list of their RALO's supported candidates for each group to the Chair of the ALAC by 23:59 UTC Sunday, 27 October. The ALAC will name the final membership during the ALAC meeting of 29 October. The details of the two groups are: 1) Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC) According to Article 19.2 of the ALAC Rules of Procedure (2013): "The ALAC shall name a Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC) which shall oversee the entire selection process including the election culminating the process but excluding those responsibilities specifically retained by the ALAC or given to the Board Candidate Evaluation Committee. The composition of the BMSPC will be regionally balanced and the committee will typically be populated with no fewer than two representatives of each region selected by both the ALAC and the RALOs. The ALAC shall either name a chair of the BMSPC or may instruct the BMSPC to select a chair from amongst its members." The group is open to both ALAC members and to At-Large community members. However, the membership should include members of the community with significant experience from the 2010 Board Director selected by At-Large process. English will be the working language of this group. The group must be regionally balanced, with no fewer than two representatives from each of the five RALOs. Please note that no member of the BMSPC may submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for the position of the Board Director selected by At-Large. The ALAC will select the Chair of the BMSPC. The first meeting of the BMSPC will be scheduled for early November. 2) Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC) The new ALAC Rules of Procedures state the following on the composition and task of the BCEC: "19.3 The ALAC shall name a Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC) to compile an initial slate of candidates for election to Seat 15. A new BCEC consisting of two delegates selected by each of the RALOs plus a chair selected by the ALAC will be convened for each Board seat selection process." "19.4 The task of the BCEC is to identify applicants who would each make an excellent Board Director. Applicant selected by the BCEC must meet the criteria specified in the ICANN Bylaws Article VI, Section 3 ( http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws#VI-3) These criteria include but are not limited to being: a) accomplished persons of integrity, objectivity, and intelligence, with reputations for sound judgment and open minds, and a demonstrated capacity for thoughtful group decision-making; and b) persons with an understanding of ICANN's mission and the potential impact of ICANN decisions of the global Internet community, and committed to the success of ICANN. Moreover, the Director selected by the At-Large Community must understand the mission of At-Large and the needs of the global community of Internet end users." "19.5 No member of the electorate (Paragraph 19.10) may simultaneously serve as a member of the BCEC." According to 19.5, members of the electorate (i.e., members of the ALAC and RALO Chairs who will be serving in 2014) may not be BCEC members. Additionally, no member of the BCEC may submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for the position of the Board Director selected by At-Large. Please note that experience on the 2010 BCEC and/or on the ICANN Nominating Committee would be highly desired. English will be the working language of this group. The ALAC will select the Chair of the BCEC. The first meeting of the BCEC will be scheduled for early November.

Meeting of the Dynamic Coalition on Core Internet Values during IGF Bali
by Sivasubramanian M Oct. 16, 2013

Oct. 16, 2013

Hello The Dynamic Coalition on Core Internet Values wishes to invite you to attend its fourth Annual meeting at the Bali IGF, chaired by George Sadowsky. The meeting will take place on Day 3 of the IGF, i.e. on Thursday, 24 October, from 11:00am to 12:30pm, in the Kintamani 1 Room (Room #7 on the IGF program schedule) The panel, in alphabetical order: Jeremy Malcolm, Senior Policy Officer, Consumers International Alice Munyua, Chair, Kenya Internet Governance Steering Committee Alejandro Pisanty, Professor, National Autonomous University of Mexico by remote participation. Carolina Rossini, Project Director, New American Foundation George Sadowsky, Director, ICANN (Moderator) Hong Xue, Director, Institute for Internet Policy and Law, Beijing Normal University Please join us at this meeting to discuss Core Internet Values. About the Dynamic Coalition: The Coalition has been in existence since 2008, and has adopted the following aims (taken from early Coalition documents): "The objective of the dynamic coalition on 'Core Internet Values’ is to debate and find answers to fundamental questions such as “What is the Internet? What makes it what it is? What are its architectural principles? What are the core principles and values? And what is happening to the core values in the process of its evolution? What is it that needs to be preserved and what changes are inevitable? The coalition would seek answers and define the Core Internet Principles and Values. " "The Internet model is open, transparent, and collaborative and relies on processes and products that are local, bottom-up, and accessible to users around the world. These principles and values are threatened when policy makers propose to regulate and control the Internet, with inadequate understanding of the core values. What is it that must be preserved in the process of policy making by legislators who seek to regulate the Internet and in the process of design changes by the Business sector in pursuit of business friendly models? What does the Internet Community say as what can't be changed? How could changes and improvements be brought about without compromising on the core values? How would the different positions between stakeholders be reconciled to commit to the core Internet values?" On the theme of Core Internet Values, the first was a workshop with the title "Workshop on Fundamentals: Core Internet Values" chaired by the Internet Society President Lynn St.Amour at IGF Egypt followed by three Annual meetings during the IGFs with the fourth IGF meeting to be held during IGF Bali. http://coreinternetvalues.org Please join us for this session as also share this information in your circles. Thank you. Sivasubramanian M
