Feb. 9, 2010

Hi, 2 things: a) Closing date for comment now extended to 10 February. b) Given that we have more time, is it worth seeing if we can draft a ccNSO comment on the Affirmation Review document perhaps using the auDA one as a starting point? What do others think?

Dear Councillors, I'm forwarding this on behalf of Ron Sherwood. Gabi ----- Original Message ----- From: "ICANN At-Large Staff" <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> To: "Theresa Swinehart" <theresa.swinehart(a)icann.org> Cc: "Secretary" <secretary(a)icann.org>; "Denise Michel" <denise.michel(a)icann.org>; "ICANN At-Large Staff" <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org>; <alac-announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 5:12 AM Subject: [ALAC-Announce] ALAC Statement on ICANN Draft Strategic Plan 2010 -2013 Dear Theresa, The At-Large staff has the honour to transmit to you the ALAC Statement on the Draft Strategic Plan 2010 - 2013 on behalf of the At-Large Advisory Committee. The Statement has already been submitted to the public consultation on the Draft ICANN Strategic Plan for 2010- 2013 on January 21st with a note that the document was still undergoing the internal ratification process. The ratification process which ended yesterday resulted in the ALAC unanimously endorsing the Statement with a 15-0 vote. You may review the result independently under: https://www.bigpulse.com/pollresults?code=uzKMLnhG6MNUNFLPgZRi. This document was originally drafted by Sébastien Bachollet, Vice-Chair of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) based on input received from the five At-Large regions (RALOs) and Vanda Scartezini, ALAC Liaison to the Board of ICANN. The RALOs discussed the Draft Strategic Plan during their monthly teleconferences and online and drafted individual regional comments in advance of the At-Large community call on the Strategic Plan held on January 15th 2010. These regional comments are linked to the online workspace on Strategic Planning ( https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?strategic_planning_2010_2013_works…) The draft Statement was made available for community review on January 18th, 2010. On January 21st, the Chair of the ALAC asked the Staff to start a five-day vote on the document. As this is a formal Statement of an Advisory Committee to the Board, we provide it by copy hereby to the Secretary of ICANN for distribution to the Board with our compliments. The ALAC welcomes any comments the Board may wish to make by reply. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Gisella Gruber-White ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff at atlarge.icann.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > _______________________________________________ > ALAC-Announce mailing list > ALAC-Announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org > http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac-announce_atlarge-lists… > > At-Large Official Site: http://atlarge.icann.org ------ End of Forwarded Message

Organisation Announcement - Congratulations Denise Michel and welcome David Olive
by Gabriella Schittek Jan. 27, 2010

Jan. 27, 2010

Dear all, I'm forwarding the message below on behalf of Doug Brent, ICANN's Chief Operating Officer. Gabi ---------------------------- Dear ICANN Community Members, I am pleased to announce that our VP of Policy, Denise Michel, has accepted the new position of Advisor to the CEO and we have recruited David Olive to serve as ICANN's Vice President of Policy Development. Denise's new responsibility will draw on her outstanding work at ICANN over the last decade, which included helping to create what is now our global At-Large community, building an excellent ICANN Policy Staff, launching ICANN's independent reviews and restructuring initiatives, and personally shepherding some of ICANN's most important policy initiatives. Denise will help lay the ground work for ICANN's new accountability and transparency initiatives and provide Rod with strategic advice. She will be working, in part, out of ICANN's Palo Alto office. I am really excited to be adding David Olive to our team. He adds both significant strength to ICANN's management team and senior presence in Washington DC. David joins ICANN from Fujitsu, where he had a successful twenty year career, and was General Manager and Chief Corporate Representative of Fujitsu's D.C. Office. He advised Fujitsu on business planning, corporate and business development, and public policy issues affecting information technology, the Internet, electronic commerce, electronic government, telecommunications, and science and technology. In addition to his strong track record at Fujitsu, David has been an active participant in various technology-centric organizations, including as a member of the Commercial Board of Directors of TechAmerica, and as a member on the Board of Directors of the Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA) in Washington, D.C. He has also worked with many global business groups, including the Global Information Infrastructure Commission (GIIC), the U.S.-Japan Business Council, and the International Chamber of Commerce. David has been the Public Policy Chairman for WITSA, a consortium of over 70 information technology industry associations from economies around the world. David served as a Fujitsu representative to an OECD group and to the U.S. State Department's Advisory Committee on International Communications and Information Policy. David attended undergraduate studies at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service and graduate studies at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies and Princeton University. David will report directly to me and join effective 15 February. I am sure you all will join me in congratulating Denise on her new role, and welcoming David to the ICANN team! Best, Doug -- Doug Brent Chief Operating Officer ICANN Voice: +1 310.301.3871 Mobile: +1 650.996.4447 Fax: +1 310.823.8649 ------ End of Forwarded Message
