Forwarded on behalf of Ron Sherwood. ------ Forwarded Message From: Ron Sherwood <ron(a)vitechnicalservices.com> Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2011 11:56:32 -0700 To: Gabriella Schittek <gabriella.schittek(a)icann.org> Subject: At-Large Dear Councilors: Please find below two articles regarding At-Large: <http://www.icann.org/en/topics/policy/update-jul11-en.htm#16%3E> The second article, of particular interest, describes a first for At-Large and EURALO outreach: the first monthly EURALO Secretariat's Report posted in both English and Russian. Ron Sherwood ccNSO/ALAC Liaison At-Large Singapore Highlights At a Glance At-Large experienced many firsts and successes at the ICANN Public Meeting in Singapore. These included new collaborative efforts with other ICANN communities, significant progress on support for new gTLD applicants from developing economies, and a high-energy APRALO Showcase. Recent Developments The ALAC held 17 major meetings in Singapore. The community was strongly represented by 25 members from all five At-Large regions. In addition to community members, officers of the Regional At-Large Organizations and members of numerous At-Large Structures attended. Among the highlights: * ALAC’s meeting with ICANN’s Board. The Board again strongly confirmed At-Large’s vital role in the new gTLD program – both in helping to resolve outstanding applicant support issues and in outreach to end users. * ALAC’s meeting with ICANN’s CEO. The ALAC explained the purpose of its new Future Challenges Working Group <https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Working+Group+on+Futur…> to the CEO. This WG, launched in June, will focus on policy issues that the ALAC would like to proactively introduce to the ICANN community and Board. In addition, the CEO expressed appreciation for the statement <https://community.icann.org/display/alacdocs/ALAC+Statement+on+the+US+Natio…> submitted by the ALAC on the Notice of Inquiry from the US National Telecommunications and Information Administration regarding the renewal of the IANA contract. * High-energy APRALO Showcase. This Showcase <http://www.atlarge.icann.org/apralo/singapore-outreach.htm> highlighted the diversity of the ALSs that make up the Asian, Australasian and Pacific Islands Regional At-Large Organization. The region’s newest ALS, Netmission.ASIA <http://www.atlarge.icann.org/file/23627/download/23811> [PDF, 152 KB], with members as young as 14 years, was represented in full force. Five ALSs gave presentations, as did Rajnesh Singh <http://www.atlarge.icann.org/apralo/singapore-outreach/keynote-speakers.htm> , APRALO’s first chair, and Dr. Ang Peng Hwa <http://www.atlarge.icann.org/apralo/singapore-outreach/keynote-speakers.htm> , director of the Singapore Internet Research Centre. * Progress on applicant support in the new gTLD program. The ALAC and GAC conducted promising discussions regarding the Second Milestone Report <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/14712915/jas-milestone2-re…> [PDF, 282 KB] of the Joint Applicant Support Working Group (JAS WG) in Singapore. Follow-up work is already in progress. * ALAC collaboration with the GNSO’s CSG, NCUC, and NCSG, as well as with registrars. The ALAC held productive cross-community meetings with these groups in Singapore, during which work on a number of collaborative projects moved forward. These include the creation of end-user educational materials by the ALAC and registrars. The ALAC meeting with CSG was the first of its kind. More information * ALAC Chair’s Report to the ICANN Public Meeting in Singapore <https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/ALAC+Chair's+Report+at+Singapore+Meeting+-+June+2011> Outreach for At-Large Expands in Eastern Europe At a Glance EURALO has begun publishing its monthly Secretariat’s Report in Russian as well as English – a significant step toward increased outreach in Eastern Europe. Recent Developments In May, the European Regional At-Large Organization held a successful General Assembly in Belgrade, Serbia. Two highlights were the election of new EURALO officers and the discussion of efforts to conduct even more outreach in Eastern Europe. Oksana Prykhodko, a member of the Ukraine’s European Media Platform, was elected Secretariat in July, and began a new monthly practice of publishing EURALO’s monthly Secretariat’s Report in Russian as well as English. This is a first for EURALO. Bilingual reports are expected to significantly increase the interest shown by Eastern European organizations in EURALO’s work. Already they have increased the accessibility that Internet end users in that region have to EURALO, At-Large, and ICANN. As a small taste of this accomplishment, here is an excerpt of Oksana’s just-published June Secretariat’s Report – for those who read either Russian or English: Oдним из основных результатов Генеральной Ассамблеи EURALO в Белграде стало создание ALS для индивидуальных членов. One of the main results of EURALO’s Belgrade General Assembly was a plan to create an ALS for individual members. More information * EURALO Secretariat’s June Report, Russian <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/2263577/EURALO+Secretariat…> [PDF, 97 KB] and English <https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Secretariat+Monthly+Repor…> . ------ End of Forwarded Message
