Milestone: The Number of At-Large Structures Reach 200!
by ICANN At-Large Staff June 27, 2016

June 27, 2016

Dear All, Today, on 23 June 2016, we celebrate an exciting milestone in the history of the At-Large Community – the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) has accredited the 200th organization as an At-Large Structure (ALS). From the Arctic to the Cook Islands, ALSes form the basis of the At-Large community, which represents the best interests of Internet users in ICANN’s multistakeholder model. Across the world’s five geographic regions, 92 countries and territories now have ALSes, with 42 ALSes in Africa, 44 in Asia Pacific, 37 in Europe, 50 in Latin America and the Caribbean Islands, and 27 in North America. Since September 2003 when the first ALS, the Internet Society Italy Chapter, was accredited, the At-Large Community has seen a steady increase of ALSes. In the past five years, the At-Large Community has gained approximately 14 ALSes each year. An ALS is a wholly independent organization from ICANN. Whether it is an Internet-related consumer rights groups or an academic organization, ALSes share the passion in furthering the development of Information and Communication Technologies and contributing to policy activities that influence the technical coordination of the Domain Name Systems. In fact, about 33% ALSes are Internet Society Chapters. The ALS accreditation process recognizes that these groups meet ICANN’s criteria for involving individual Internet users at the local or issue level, as well as for promoting individuals’ understanding of and participation in ICANN. Within ICANN, they actively contribute to policy advice development activities and play a key role in ICANN’s regional outreach strategies and civil society engagement. They work to ensure that the Internet continues to serve the global public interest. To learn more about ALSes, please visit: https://atlarge.icann.org/alses.

Dear all, on our last EURALO conference call ( https://community.icann.org/x/KhyOAw ) the action items for the call were recorded on: https://community.icann.org/x/LxyOAw One action item was: > 1. Olivier Crepin-Leblond > <https://community.icann.org/display/%7Eolivier.crepin-leblond>to ask > the ALAC Chair if there is a place in At-Large to discuss the > protection of Geographic names. I have asked the ALAC Chair Alan Greenberg about this. His response was as follows: "Since we are talking about protection with regard to gTLDs (we have no power over ccTLDs), and we cannot readily change the rules for the legacy TLDs, that comes down to the new gTLDs (last round or future ones) and therefore the New gTLD WG is the place I would guess. " So Oksana, (and anyone else interested in the new gTLD process), you might wish to join the At-Large new gTLD working group; more information on: https://community.icann.org/x/8Yoi Kindest regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond EURALO Chair

Teleconference agenda
by Roberto Gaetano June 21, 2016

June 21, 2016

Hi all. I am now in the EURALO Teleconference. The first item on the agenda, after admin matters, is "Review of current policy activities" ended 28 minutes into the 1h call. Even the ICANN Board has identified informational items to be not worth the prime time for meetings. Also, IMHO there is no point in recap the outstanding policy development activities. Those who are involved know them, those who do not care will not even listen to the recap. I suggest that we send a reminder to EURALO highlighting the list of the open policy development, maybe with a short recap of the open issues, and use the time only for Q&A. Cheers, R.
