New European Commission
by Christopher Wilkinson June 20, 2016

June 20, 2016

Good afternoon: Allow me to draw your attention to the announcement of the composition and portfolios of the new European Commission from the point of view of Digital Economy and Society, the Internet and Internet Governance. http://ec.europa.eu/about/juncker-commission/commissioners-designate/index_… The Vice President of the Commission for the Digital Single Market will be Andrus Ansip (EE) The Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society will be Günther Oettinger (DE). In particular his responsibilities include: "Working with the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President to develop the relationship with strategic partners in order to build a global governance architecture for the Internet which is legitimate, transparent, accountable, sustainable and inclusive. This includes ensuring the Internet remains open, a driving force for innovation and an international resource that benefits the European economy and citizens." I am sure that more detailed reporting and analysis will emerge in the next few days. Meanwhile, I thought that you might welcome a 'heads up' as to these developments.. Regards Christopher Wilkinson

Fwd: NetMundial Initiative Coordination Council.
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond Jan. 23, 2016

Jan. 23, 2016

Dear EURALO members, please be so kind to find Jean-Jacques Subrenat's email below asking for EURALO's support in the renewal of his volunteer service in the NetMundial Initiative Coordination Council (NMI/CC). If anyone has any objections to EURALO supporting Jean-Jacques's candidacy, could they please email me and Wolf Ludwig (Secretariat) in private. Many thanks, Olivier -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: NetMundial Initiative Coordination Council. Date: Sat, 23 Jan 2016 11:11:11 +0100 (CET) From: Subrenat, Jean-Jacques <jjs(a)dyalog.net> To: Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond <ocl(a)gih.com> Dear Olivier, in December 2014, EURALO supported my candidacy for the NetMundial Initiative Coordination Council (NMI/CC), and I became one of its "civil society" members. At its face-to-face meeting in Sao Paulo in June 2015, the NMI/CC decided to change its name to "Inaugural Coordination Council", its current members remaining in place till June 2016. NMI is now calling for nominations or self-nominations for a 2-year period starting in June 2016. Current members may self-nominate or be nominated. This is to ask if EURALO would accept to support my continued volunteer service in the NMI/CC, for a new 2-year term. As you may be aware, I have played an active part in NMI/CC since its inception, whether on the Council list or in its Working Groups (Terms of Reference, Governance and Operations, Project Support and Engagement). As the Chair of the At-Large Working Group on Transition, you know that I have always made myself available to ALAC, the At-Large community and EURALO, regularly reporting on the ICG's work. If supported by EURALO, I would in the same manner report regularly to its Board on developments in the NMI/CC. If you need any further information, please let me know. Best regards, Jean-Jacques http://icannwiki.com/Jean-Jacques_Subrenat

REMINDER - FY 16 At-Large Captioning Pilot Project- Submit request by Jan 15!
by ICANN At-Large Staff Jan. 15, 2016

Jan. 15, 2016

Dear All, On behalf of Judith Hellerstein, If you would like to have a teleconference captioned during this pilot phase please submit your request to At-Large Staff<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> by January 15th. As agreed to by the At-Large Captioning Pilot Project group, the implementation of this project will be structured as follows: * Three calls to include captioning each month for a total of 9 teleconferences, not exceeding 60 minutes per call (with the exception of the ALAC Monthly Meeting) * The calls shall be held between January - April 2016. * During the first pilot phase of this captioning project the language used will be English. * In order to select the calls the captioning team has developed a set of criteria to evaluate and rate the requests. The request for captioning must meet at least one of these criteria to be put on the list. Criteria for Captioning: 1) Are there persons with disabilities or with limited bandwidth participating? 2) Are there webinars of general interest to the ICANN community that would increase the engagement of non-native English speakers? 3) Are the meetings or discussions about accessible tools or software? * The At-Large Captioning Pilot Project group, in collaboration with At-Large Staff, will select the calls that will have captioning based on the criteria noted above. * A short poll will be made at the end of each call where captioning is used to ask for feedback on the captioning program during that call. See further details Wiki: At-Large Captioning Pilot Project<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Captioning+Pilot+Proje…><https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Captioning+Pilot+Proje…>.
