by Denise Michel, ICANN Feb. 19, 2010

Feb. 19, 2010

Dear ccNSO Community Members, Please join me in welcoming David Olive, our new VP Policy Development (previous announcement included below). He started this week and has been added to the appropriate email lists. Although I'm assuming my new duties as Advisor to the CEO, I also am helping David get up-to-speed on ICANN and policy matters and, together with the Policy Staff, will help ensure a smooth transition. Regards, Denise Denise Michel Advisor to the CEO ICANN denise.michel(a)icann.org ------------------------------------------------ Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 1:17 PM subject[ccnso-council] Organisation Announcement - Congratulations Denise Michel and welcome David Olive 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

FW: ALAC attendance at ICANN Meeting #37
by Gabriella Schittek Feb. 16, 2010

Feb. 16, 2010

See message forwarded on behalf of Ron below. ===================================================== [ALAC-ExCom] ALAC's affirmation of support for ICANN Meeting #37 to be held in Nairobi March 7-12 2010 Cheryl Langdon-Orr langdonorr at gmail.com <mailto:alac-excom%40atlarge-lists.icann.org?Subject=Re%3A%20%5BALAC-ExCom%5D%20ALAC%27s%20affirmation%20of%20support%20for%20ICANN%20Meeting%0A%09%2337%20to%20be%20held%20in%20Nairobi%20March%207-12%202010&In-Reply-To=%3C904113ab1002151559j4a9d7eddq84271587088fe92%40mail.gmail.com%3E> Mon Feb 15 17:59:59 CST 2010 ________________________________ Doug (and other AC-SO Leadership)... Just a short note to firstly thank you for ensuring that the conference attending community within ICANN has remained fully aware of updates you have received with the recent posting to the conference website; and of the plans for deliberations and decisions to be made as a consequence of full and detailed professional information and analysis being undertaken at the moment to also be reported to the community in such an open and transparent way. Certainly we believe this information and your intention to keep us informed, allows for individuals and companies who plan to attend this meeting to make their choices of attending (or not) based on as much relevant information as possible. In writing this to you today I am however formally, letting you and through you and Vanda the ICANN Board know that at our ALAC ExCom Meeting held earlier today, we reviewed all list traffic and opinion we have been made aware of from all parts of our Community but specifically from our Regional Leadership and the ALAC who are ICANN sponsored travelers planning to attend this meeting, and discussed our reactions and responses to these recent updates. As a result of this it is my role to inform you that we (the ALAC and Regional Leadership) **remain in full support** of the meeting continuing to be held in Nairobi (with all due care and responsibility being taken as has been discussed in many fora (including the recent community briefing calls). Specifically at todays meeting where each of the five geographic regions were represented, we were unaware of any sponsored traveler on our list who is since the recent reports indicating any willingness to change their plans to attend and unanimous in our intention to attend the meeting and to encourage ICANN to make all possible efforts to ensure this meeting runs as planned. Additionally our staff who are budgeted for and planning to attend confirmed their intention to attend, and with all the ALAC Regional reps to the ExCom present on the call we agreed unanimously that I should write to you to affirm that based on our review of community opinion, our intention is *to attend a meeting held in Nairobi, Kenya*.

Latest Nairobi security posting
by Gabriella Schittek Feb. 16, 2010

Feb. 16, 2010

http://nbo.icann.org/meetings/security-information-15feb10-en.htm Monday, 15 February 2010 ICANN's internal team - including staff from the US (California, Texas, New Jersey), France and Niger - continued to meet daily over the weekend to discuss and share information regarding the ICANN Nairobi meeting. Today and last night, we had direct contact with the local Kenyan members of the security planning committee, and there has been an enhanced, on the ground commitment for additional security and this group will work closely with the on-site security experts that ICANN has under contract. ICANN's security team thinks these are strong, positive steps. The Kenya National Intelligence Service (NISIS) has increased its efforts to mitigate potential terrorist threats. The Kenya Anti-terrorist Police Unit (ATPU) is currently actively involved in the security planning process and has already started to put detection, as well as other preventative measures in place. The Kenya Diplomatic Protection unit has also been activated to assist with the security of the conference. Additionally, covert and overt security forces are being deployed at the KICC, hotels and venues where official functions will be held. Additionally, the airport, and road from the airport to hotels will be actively monitored and patrolled by security forces. It is important for delegates to understand that ensuring a safe conference is a very important to the Government of Kenya. The country relies heavily on tourism and strives to be a preferred destination for international conferences. We are all seeing community members starting to react to the situation in Kenya, as they perceive it. There have been posted letters from Neustar and GoDaddy, among others, indicating that they will not attend or send representatives. Also, the Intellectual Property Constituency (IPC) has decided to hold an alternative meeting in New York. Others in the community are re-confirming their attendance in Nairobi. In a note from ccNSO Chair, Chris Disspain, to be posted today, he has confirmed that the ccNSO is expecting to participate in the Nairobi meeting, as planned, with all or most all counselors in attendance. Less formally, I've heard that many in At Large have expressed the same view. So, where does this leave all of us? The first order of business, is that ICANN will continue to monitor the status in Nairobi, and will share all relevant information with the community, in accordance with our goal to be fully transparent . I will ensure we do that on an ongoing basis. We are left with a situation where some people would choose to attend the meeting, and some choose not to attend, based on exactly the same information. One answer will clearly not work for all. One alternative being discussed is how to better support a meeting where remote participation is going to be a more significant part of the meeting. What does enhanced remote participation look like in the context of an ICANN meeting? Remote participation is a challenge when a minority of participants are using that mode; if many were, how effective could that be? How would this work with scheduling, time zones, and the expected meeting formats we've used? Any comments you have on this would be greatly appreciated. Look for a posting on the ICANN blog, where you can respond directly.
