RALO Individual Users
by Roberto Gaetano March 17, 2023

March 17, 2023

Dear all, I am attending ICANN76 remotely, so I am missing all what is happening in the corridors and the bar, so maybe something is happening that I am not noticing about where we are with the implementation of the UIM-WP recommendations, approved by ALAC in March 2021. Unless I am missing something, there is no mention of this topic so far in the sessions, so I am wondering whether there is any action that we plan to take in order to implement these approved rules. Will something be said at the At-Large Leadership Wrap-Up in a few hours, or shall I assume that there is no willingness to act upon, and that the work of the Working Party has been useless? For information, EURALO is progressing in this direction, regardless what is happening in other RALOs or the interest expressed by ALAC Leadership. We are soliciting Individual Members to compile their SOI, and Staff is double-checking the subscriptions to the EURALO mailing list, both being requirements for RALO Individual Users. We have elected a new Leadership (Chair and Board) and we intend to redesign the application process, but it would be nice to know if this is still a global commitment or just an European initiative. Cheers, Roberto

input to WSIS+20 comments sought
by Marita Moll March 14, 2023

March 14, 2023

Colleagues, I will have 3 minutes in the WSIS+20 public forum on Wednesday to address the following question from an enduser perspective -- *How does your community explain what are the essentials to protect the global internet and to formulate a long-term vision that works for politicians.* *Note that WSIS+20 is a UN process which is multilateral -- so working with political allies would be essential. Background: WSIS2003 (World Summit on the Information Society) was an intergovernmental conference where other groups had access and observer status which was a step forward at the time. It established a working group on internet governance (WGIG) which was multistakeholder and which developed the following definition -- "Internet governance is the development and application by governments, the private sector and civil society, in their respective roles, of shared principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures and programmes that shape the evolution and use of the Internet." This led to the establishment of the Internet Governance Forum (2006) How would we see this definition evolving and what kinds of resources are needed to realize that goal? I would welcome any input. Marita
