Re: [EURO-Discuss] ALAC meeting with the Board, Sydney
by Wolf Ludwig May 21, 2009

May 21, 2009

Cher Sébastien, I think, your points and concerns are perfectly in line with what we discussed yesterday at the monthly EURALO call: How can we follow-up the Summit Declaration and the role of ALAC - RALOs - and the Internet users at ICANN? We therefore suggested that ALAC should bring this up again in Sydney (- see the posting on the board list:) >It would be good if ALAC would formally ask the ICANN Board >what they think about the recommendations in the Summit >Declaration handed over to them at the closure of the Summit >in Mexico. >Some keywords for such an approach to be prepared for Sydney: >The Summit preparation was a big effort by the ALAC community >and conducted successfully, it was a considerable investment in >terms of money for ICANN and it was not meant as a "single event" >but rather more a continuing process for the community ... >The statements and recommendations on the different work >subjects would therefore need further consideration and validation >by the ICANN Board ...

ALAC meeting with the Board, Sydney
by Adam Peake May 21, 2009

May 21, 2009

Hi, In Sydney ALAC will have the usual meeting with a couple of board members. It's our opportunity to tell the board what's on our minds. Are there issues you would like raised? Don't think the reason for this meeting is to complain (or only to complain...), positive ideas for the future welcome. Some of the topics we've been interested in should see updated policy documents over the next few weeks (operational plan and budget for sure, perhaps new gTLDs) so can hold off on those for a while. Couple of things I'm thinking about: I would like them to comment on is keeping budget lines open to enable implementing any recommendations from the ALAC review in FY2010. To recommend/discuss making the agenda of a future ICANN meeting (Seoul?) attractive to user/non-commercial interests (as Paris was oriented to business interests.) As well as helping ALAC, could be important both to build the GNSO non-commercial stakeholder's group, and increasing non-commercial, particularly consumer organizations (mentioned in all kinds of different sources) in ICANN I know people have been keen to develop a "registrants bill of rights". Anyone comment on this, I don't know where we're at with this. Thanks, Adam

WG: New ALS applications -- Regional Advice E-Seniors + AUI SP
by Wolf Ludwig May 20, 2009

May 20, 2009

Dear all, we received two new applications from AUI of Spain and E-senior form France to become certified ALSes of EURALO. In the meantime, staff submitted the respective DD-forms (see attachments). After the last EURALO call (21 April 09) some of us already had a look on it and sent their remarks (see below). Now, our regional advise on the applicants is required. To get further responses from EURALO members, we are forwarding the DD-forms to the list. If no OBJECTIONS are raised within the next 7 days (until 18 May 09) the applications will be considered as approved by EURALO. Thanks for any further inputs and comments. Best, Wolf ____ Jefsey wrote 22/04/2009 19:09: I certainly understand the common law difference between a "person" and a "corporation", but I have a difficulty in understanding the difference among legal kinds of "users". The way we consider @large is throught their contribution to usage. It happens that we have no current corporation on our list as such, but we certainly have associations chair who are there more than in personnal capacity ? Adam Peake wrote 22/04/2009 14:51: I thought AUI was a business users association? AUI was represented on the first names council, active in the DNSO and creation of ICANN (and pre ICANN). If they exist to serve individuals, fine, if corporations, not fine. Of course individuals can be commercial (a point we still need to make in the GNSO stakeholder group formation process.) Sébastien Bachollet wrote 21/04/2009 23:34: I had a quick look to the 2 DD (AUI of Spain and E-senior form France). It seems that they can be qualified to be ALSs. _____ Matthias Langenegger wrote Sun, 19 Apr 2009 08:10: >Dear Wolf and Dessi, > >On March 22nd, we received an ALS application from the E-Seniors, an organization based in Paris.
