REMOTE HUBS for ICANN 54 - Information on terms and online application form
by ICANN At-Large Staff Oct. 5, 2015

Oct. 5, 2015

Dear All, We would like to ensure that everyone is aware that the refreshed ICANN Remote Hub Terms and Online Application has gone live on ICANN's Meeting Webpage<https://meetings.icann.org/en> as well as on the Dublin Schedule Page <https://meetings.icann.org/en/dublin54/schedule-full> . The application form will close on October 14th, in time for decisions to be made on entities that will ultimately host and Tech team preparation. This refreshed version of the ICANN Meeting Remote Hubs is a very deliberate attempt to prioritize engagement around groups of interested participants from developing nations who might not otherwise have the ICANN Meeting experience though (not excluding anyone who has the right motivations to bring ICANN community and stakeholders together in all ICANN regions). We want to focus on simulating the physical room experience, promoting lively and topical discussion between the remote participants as would happen in a face to face environment...and see positive outcomes related to more engagement and participation both regionally and within the ICANN communities. Any feedback should be sent to : engagement(a)icann.org<mailto:engagement@icann.org>.

by Wolf Ludwig Oct. 1, 2015

Oct. 1, 2015

Dear all, as announced before, we would like to kindly invite you to EURALO’s next F2F General Assembly (GA) inline with the upcoming ICANN AGM in October in Dublin. This GA is convened for Wednesday, 21 October at the ICANN venue. Our next GA will be conducted in two parts – the timings are scheduled as follows: 10:30-12:00 = EURALO General Assembly Part 1 (content part on Public Interest) 12:00-14:00 = EURALO Lunch at external venue 15:45-17:30 = EURALO General Assembly part 2 (statutory part and elections) followed by 17:30-18:30 = European Coordination session, organized by Jean-Jacques Sahel, ICANN followed by 18:30-20:30 = a joint EURALO Networking and Outreach Event (a tough program as we are fully aware). According to our Bylaws, we have to circulate this formal Invitation three weeks prior to the event together with a proposed Agenda for the 2nd GA part (attached). This draft Agenda was discussed and decided during our last monthly calls and needs to be adopted at the GA itself. Any amendments are generally possible – BUT please keep in mind that the suggested items and time schedule are extremely tight already. Prior to the Dublin GA you will further receive - a copy of the EURALO Annual Report 2014-15 besides some more and relevant documents for our discussions. An overview of all documents you will receive upon arrival in the Welcome Pack (hard copies and a stick prepared by At-Large Staff) you can find on our 2015 GA Workspace: https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/2015+EURALO+General+Assembly+at+… I guess that all travel arrangements for confirmed members are accomplished by ICANN Constituency Travel by now, in case of any pending arrangements or further questions please let us know. Thanks for your consideration and kind regards, Wolf EuroDIG Secretariat http://www.eurodig.org/ mobile +41 79 204 83 87 Skype: Wolf-Ludwig EURALO - ICANN's Regional At-Large Organisation http://euralo.org Profile on LinkedIn http://ch.linkedin.com/in/wolfludwig
