[ALAC] African Region MoU with ICANN / Process Agreed on Today's Teleconference
by Nick Ashton-Hart Jan. 29, 2007

Jan. 29, 2007

Good afternoon everyone! As agreed on the teleconference this afternoon, I have the pleasure to attach the following: 1) A finalised text of the draft Memorandum of Understanding between the African regional ALSes and ICANN (note that I have added some paragraph numbers, standardised the formatting, and removed the paragraph which limited the signatories to only three ALSes so that all present in Lisbon can sign - see below) 2) The redlined text of the above, which has been previously sent around to the list, for comparison; 3) The signed MOU between ICANN and the Latin America & Caribbean Islands, for reference. As was determined by the African ALS representatives on the call, the following is the process of finalising the text and forming the RALO: 1) The document (1) above will be the final text of the MoU, UNLESS an objection is registered ON OR BEFORE 15th February 2007. Note that none of the ALSes on today's call objected to any provisions of the attached. 2) If there are no objections, this text will be forwarded to ICANN's legal counsel for a final once-over, and at the same time will go out for a standard public comment period, which as was explained on the call today is standard practice whenever ICANN proposes to enter into any significant contractual arrangement. 3) The public comment period will likely be for 30 days (ICANN legal to confirm), which will easily allow for the MoU to be signed in a public ceremony at the Lisbon ICANN International Meeting, March 26 - 30 2007. AFRALO Meeting in Lisbon: Again as mentioned on the call today, ICANN will be able to provide travel support to allow one representative of each African ALS to attend the ICANN Meeting in Lisbon so that you can meet together and debate the priorities of your region with respect to policy development in ICANN, elect the two representatives of your region to the At-Large Advisory Committee, meet with the other stakeholders participating in ICANN, and learn more by attending meetings and seminars on the many areas of activity underway at present. ICANN staff will shortly provide more information on the process of making these arrangements with you by email to the list, and help you to organise the meetings between yourselves and help to ensure that your meetings do not conflict with other meetings in Lisbon you may want to attend. May I say that I very much look forward to meeting you all, and will be very happy to help you celebrate the inauguration of African end-user participation as a formal organisation within ICANN! -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom UK Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011 USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 Win IM: ashtonhart(a)hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart(a)mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart FESTIVE GREETINGS!

Unfortunately, these calls have been scheduled at the same time as I teach. Does anyone else want to join in my stead?

It incorporates the changes requested on that call and immediately after. Regarding the MarkMonitor input, I have followed the practice in use for membership or industry associations organisations (e.g. the BITS Financial Services Roundtable) and simply included the organisation's name, not the membership or signatories. As it is beyond the capability of the task force to determine the process used in associations or amongst client/peer related firms to ascertain support for positions, this seems the most practical approach. I'm afraid that due to lack of time I have neglected to include Marilyn's two changes as agreed by the task force (copied below). I will collect and include this information and add it to the report next week. Finally, for this report, I have used a new document template we are trialling. If you do have time to consider it in terms of readability and clarity, please let me know your thoughts. All the best, Maria A. A brief summary of the various processes and events undertaken by the TF, including participation in workshops, outreach via conference calls to external parties, etc. should be added to the Background section, under a suitable heading describing the work processes of the TF. B. Full wording of the GNSO Council resolutions should be added as appendices and links to the resolutions be inserted into the Background section of the Final Task Force Report. This will provide a fuller record when the Final report is considered by the GNSO Council, and eventually, the ICANN Board. The relevant resolutions are 20060720-02 and 20060720-03 and can be found at www.gnso.icann.org/resolutions <BLOCKED::http://www.gnso.icann.org/resolutions> . -- Wendy Seltzer -- wendy(a)seltzer.org phone: 718.780.7961 // fax: 718.780.0394 // cell: 914.374.0613 Visiting Assistant Professor of Law, Brooklyn Law School Fellow, Berkman Center for Internet & Society http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/seltzer.html http://www.chillingeffects.org/

[ALAC] At-Large Regional website content now managed by the regional ALS community
by ICANN At Large Staff Jan. 26, 2007

Jan. 26, 2007

Dear All: I am happy to inform you that each of the regional URLS: www.afralo.org For Africa www.apralo.org For Asia-Pacific www.euralo.org For Europe www.lacralo.org For Latin America /Caribbean Islands www.naralo.org For North America All now point to the regional Wikis which began to come online in November/December 2006. This means that the ALS community in each region will be able to edit and manage the regional online home and the information it contains, whilst members of the public will be able to see the regional online home sites with the information which the region itself has decided should be made available. All ALSes should have received user accounts - if anyone does not have access to your regional site please let us know at staff(a)alac.icann.org. Of course ICANN At-Large staff will help to maintain sections related to forms, minutes of meetings where we are involved in taking minutes, providing FAQs, etc - in consultation with the regions themselves. We hope all of you see this is a step forward in providing the At- Large community more tools to communicate with one another and with those who are interested and are always happy to hear your views on further improvements. -- Regards, ICANN At-Large Staff PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom Main Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011] USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 email: staff(a)alac.icann.org
