Brief Update About Capacity Building in the Pacific
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro Dec. 7, 2012

Dec. 7, 2012

Dear All, * * *Youth TechCamp* We recently hosted a 7 day Youth Tech Camp see: http://youthtechcamp.brightpathfoundation.org/ where the first Module was on Introduction to ICT and Internet Governance and we had excellent facilitation from the likes of APNIC and a guest speaker from ICANN. Benjamin Mathews and I took the youth through critical building blocks and we organised learning from a Pacific perspective. These youth which included high school students, tertiary students and professionals under 35, I must admit the oldest one was 55 (it showed that people could not be kept away as they were equally eager to learn) developed key policy considerations on various challenges for 7 countries. 100 participants came from around 8 countries from around the Pacific. The material they developed will be sent to the various countries. This is part of a long term development strategy to build capacity so they can be active contributors in their countries, the Pacific region and global forums as well. ** ** Module 2 was a Mobile App Development Training where youth were encouraged to harness local content and whilst the youth made lots of pitches, they settled for 5 and the youth worked on creating them and we had an awesome and fantastic time. The Apps were all civic apps (that was how the youth wanted it) :):) We had 80 participants in this Module.**** We also had Side Events which included Executive Briefings on Internet Exchange Points which was well attended by stakeholders in Fiji and a Women in Tech Event which had the theme - Game Changers: The Role that Girls and Women Play in Development. ** ** The camp was also covered by the national and regional news, see: http://www.pasifikanexus.nu/media/press/**** ** ** Warm Regards, -- Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro aka Sala P.O.

Alejandro: Oh, the argument has already reared its head surrounding WHOIS. As in what happens to the WHOIS record when I no longer own a domain? I've seen proffers that says the record must be 'expunged'. Think the legal meaning here.

...say it ain't so? This company ought to be charged with creating a public mischief! [That old Soviet charge of 'malicious hooliganism' might be appropriate!] . Then again, some guy managed to sell quite a few pet rocks.....never can tell, what with the mouth breathers an' all..... If anyone thinks one can totally erase a digital artefact that is already online, as in 'it absolutely no longer exists anywhere', I have a bridge to sell ya.

2013 Internet Society Board of Trustees Election - Nominations (deadline: 2 January 2013)
by Rinalia Abdul Rahim Dec. 4, 2012

Dec. 4, 2012

FYI 2013 Internet Society Board of Trustees Election - Nominations (deadline: 2 January 2013) *nomcomchair(a)isoc.org* *Call for Nominations for the Internet Society Board of Trustees* The Internet Society's (ISOC) Nominations Committee is accepting applications from, or in favour of, candidates interested in serving on the ISOC Board of Trustees. In 2013, three positions on the Board of Trustees are open for election. Two Trustees will be elected by ISOC Organizational Members and one by ISOC Chapters. Additionally, one Trustee will be selected by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The Trustee positions are 3-year terms that start August 2013 and end in 2016. ISOC is a global not-for-profit organization founded in 1992 to provide leadership in Internet related standards, education and policy. With principal offices in Washington, D.C., United States of America, and Geneva, Switzerland, and several other regional offices, it is dedicated to ensuring the open development, evolution, and use of the Internet for the benefit of people throughout the world. ISOC is the organizational home of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and other Internet-related bodies who together play a critical role in ensuring that the Internet develops in a stable and open manner. ISOC has more than 130 organizational members, more than 55,000 individual members, and over 90 chapters that play a role in driving the mission and work of the organization. In 2013, ISOC's operational budget will be $38.3 million USD. The ISOC Board of Trustees<http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/board.php>is responsible for the governance of the organization, and its authority is derived from the organization’s by-laws and policies<http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/bylaws.shtml>. The Board consists of 12 Trustees that are either appointed or elected by the chapters, organization members and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), and the ISOC CEO and President serves ex-officio as a non-voting Trustee. In accordance with ISOC’s Procedures for the Selection of Trustees<http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/select.shtml>, six Trustees are elected by the organizational members, three Trustees are elected by the chapters and three Trustees are appointed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Trustees serve a three year term and can serve no more than two consecutive terms. *Time Commitment* Trustees are expected to commit the time necessary to perform regular Board and committee business. Trustees are also expected to allocate time to attend and prepare for meetings. The ISOC Board of Trustees holds three physical meetings and three or four 2-hour teleconference meetings annually. Trustees must also expect to be part of Board committees, with additional time and effort allotted to this work and to communicate with the ISOC community. A typical Trustee time commitment averages 4-5 hours per week over their term, with some significant peaks and troughs on a weekly basis. *Eligibility Statement* Candidates for ISOC Trustee will have demonstrable involvement in the Internet with depth of understanding in at least several of the following areas: - Internet standards - Internet operation - Public policy for Internet and telecommunications - Internet development Ideal candidates also have a good understanding of broader technology, policy, business and/or economics issues relevant to the society. The following qualifications are also highly desirable: - Previous Board / Governance experience or organizational leadership experience - Skills in business management and leadership - Not-for-profit experience and fund raising - Ability to identify relevant ISOC projects and attendant funding and resourcing - Focus on solutions - Vision for the role of ISOC The ISOC Board of Trustees aims to be as broadly representative of the many cultures and communities around the world that it can. We would encourage applications from all economies, all regions and all walks of life. The Nominations Committee will not discriminate based on gender, domicile, or national origin. *Timeline and Nomination Form* Nominations are now open, and the deadline for nominations is *Wednesday 2 January 2013*. Self-nominations can be made here < https://www.internetsociety.org/bot-elections-form?type=self&id=plutonium> and Nominations by a Third Party may be made here < https://www.internetsociety.org/bot-elections-form?type=third&id=plutonium> The Nominations Committee will progressively conduct a review and interviews with nominees. As the 2013 Board of Trustees election timetable<http://www.internetsociety.org/who-we-are/board-trustees/trustee-elections/…>states, candidates will be announced on Friday 22 February 2013. Strong confidentiality requirements for the management of the candidates’ personal information will be applied. Further information is available at http://www.internetsociety.org/who-we-are/board-trustees/trustee-electionsas well as by email to < nomcomchair(a)isoc.org>. Individual inquiries to members of the Nominations Committee are not encouraged and will be redirected by them to the Committee’s Secretariat.
