IMPORTANT: FY20 Additional Budget Process has started
by ICANN At-Large Staff Nov. 15, 2018

Nov. 15, 2018

Dear All, This message is to announce that the FY20 Additional Budget Request (ABR) process has started. This process pertains to a dedicated part of the overall ICANN annual budget that is set aside to fund specific requests from the community for activities that are not already included in the recurring ICANN budget. FY20 Additional Budget Requests cover the period 1 July 2019 through 30 June 2020. The relevant information is available on the At-Large FY20 Additional Budget Request Workspace<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+FY20+Budget+Developmen…>, including the key deadlines, details of the process, principles and the request template. IMPORTANT: Maureen Hilyard, the Chair of the ALAC Finance and Budget Sub-Committee (FBSC), has suggested the following criteria for At-Large proposals: * Proposals should include ways in which will make the entire At-Large community more effective and develop the At-Large community rather than a single section of the At-Large community. * Outreach should not be a major focus. Activities to improve engagement with existing members is encouraged. * If any request is made on outreach, it should go through the CROP program or as a part of a larger ALAC request for RALO Discretionary Funding. * RALO requests should be strategic and in line with their RALO's strategic outreach plans and must be endorsed by their RALO prior to being submitted for consideration by the FBSC. * Staff is currently expecting that basic resources for community communications/printing will be supported through the core ICANN budget, but that community proposals for printing , etc. will be accepted as a back-up in case expectations change. Specific proposals for communications resources beyond simple printing and editing functions should be prepared and submitted. IMPORTANT: The RALOs, working with their 2018-2019 FBSC Members, are asked to review any ALS request or complete a template on behalf of the RALO. Once they are endorsed by the RALO, please send requests to At-Large Staff by 4 January 2019. The 2018-2019 Members of the FBSC will begin reviewing applications on 7 January 2019.

If you are attending the Paris Internet Governance Forum, please join us for a small but historical signing ceremony that will take place at 18:20 at the AFNIC desk, which is the desk in the main entrance hall, opposite Hall 1. Jörg and I will sign the document and some group pictures will be taken. I hope that as many members of EURALO will be present for the group pictures and would also like to extend this invitation to participants from other RALOs to join for the pictures and the refreshments served afterwards. See you there! Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond EURALO Chair

Fwd: [cc-humanrights] Suggested workflow for trial HRIAs
by Collin Kurre Nov. 12, 2018

Nov. 12, 2018

Dear EURALO members, The message below comes from the Cross-Community Working Party on ICANN and Human Rights. In case you’re unfamiliar with the CCWP-HR, our goal is to provide information, facilitate dialogue, and make suggestions about ways to better harmonize ICANN’s policies and procedures with human rights standards. The CCWP-HR is housed within the NCSG, but it’s open to all interested community members and considers the rights of all users, not just registrants. Find more information on our website: https://icannhumanrights.net/ <https://icannhumanrights.net/> I’m forwarding news on a new project to test human rights impact assessments out on ICANN PDPs as a means of operationalizing ICANN’s Human Rights Bylaw, which will come into effect as soon as the WS2 recommendations are approved by the board. Is there any interest in contributing to this initiative, or receiving updates on progress made? All feedback welcome. Finally, on a personal level, I’d like to get more involved in the EURALO community and work to proactively identify synergies and opportunities for collaboration, particularly on the topic of human rights. Unfortunately I’ve been unable to contribute to recent monthly EURALO calls due to scheduling conflicts; guidance on the best way to engage beyond participating in calls would be appreciated. Kind regards, Collin -- Collin Kurre ARTICLE 19 > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Collin Kurre <collin(a)article19.org> > Subject: [cc-humanrights] Suggested workflow for trial HRIAs > Date: November 9, 2018 at 3:55:07 PM GMT+1 > To: CCWP-HR <cc-humanrights(a)icann.org> > > Dear colleagues, > > Below is a suggested workflow synthesizing ideas about how to get the ball rolling on HRIAs in the ICANN community while helping newcomers become more involved in policy development processes. > > As approval of WS2 is drawing ever closer, it would be great to go ahead and get started on the first trial HRIA. This way we can have at least one trial under our belt when the Human Rights Bylaw kicks into effect. (Find background resources on the CCWP-HR website <https://icannhumanrights.net/documents/>.) > > What do you think? All feedback welcome. > > Warm regards, > Collin Kurre > > ================= > > Suggested Workflow for Trial ICANN Policy HRIA > > Identify PDP for trial. Suggestions received: RPMs, Subsequent Procedures (specific work tracks?), EPDP. Which should be prioritized? > Gather and review resources on select PDP. This will be an important step for members who aren’t currently active in the target PDP. Shared folders and communication channels will be established to promote knowledge exchange. > HRIA Team attends at least 3 meetings of the PDP to get a feel for the group’s status and key players. Newcomers will also have the opportunity to shadow veterans and observe the PDP process in action. > Jointly determine the best approach for carrying out the assessment based on shared experiences in the target PDP. Example methodologies: direct participation, interviews, mailing list reviews, desk research, or any combination thereof. We can dedicate one of our CCWP-HR calls to this discussion. > Complete and publish assessment with the methodology clearly explained in an annex. > Repeat! Building on lessons learned in the first trial. > > > _______________________________________________ > cc-humanrights mailing list > cc-humanrights(a)icann.org > https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-humanrights
