Dec. 18, 2023

Dear all, thank you for the announcement. With this email I would like to express my great support to 3 candidates for Board members: - Claire-Mélanie Popineau (Eclairement) - Lutz Donnerhacke (Fitug e.V.) - Steinar Grøtterød (ISOC NO) With this email, I also kindly ask EURALO Chair, Sebastien Bachollet, to consider the possibility of forming a Ad-Hoc working group in the very near future to complete the ROP and include clarifying the selection criteria for any official positions of the EURALO and the need to provide a statement of interests from applicants (with a point "reason to believe") for everyone who applies to participate in the elections within EURALO. These criterias of prohibition of approving candidates, can be: - lack of visible work activity and real participation in EURALO, At-Large work, - creation of conflicts (documented and with evidence, especially with involving the Ombudsman more than 1 time, and involving ICANN Board members for attempts at clumsy apologies), - sabotaging the adoption of very important working decisions for EURALO, - sabotaging of approval the internal working documents without participating of creation these, - lack of ethics of communication, violation of the rules of conduct, - constant opposition to the presence of representatives of other nations inside EURALO, At-Large, ICANN (what choose a word - nationalism or extremism?), - the absence of any reports after attending events funded by ICANN (with the budget allocated to the EURALO), - long-term open fight with community leaders and members, - the creation of a negative image of EURALO outside and inside it, - an unsubstantiated accusation of the community in the absence of legitimacy and democracy. These rules also need to outline the criteria by which Board members can be removed from their activities and replaced with more worthy ones. *The purpose of updating the ROP*: The Board and management of RALO will include people with an *equal and high level* reputation and self-organization, with real results of activities within the community, playing a key role for enhancing the community. This will allow EURALO to flourish, and to minimize the participation in key processes of people who seek to degrade, but for some reason do it within our community. With this email I would like to once again draw the attention of Euralo members to the possibility of participating in the work and coordinating the activities of EURALO, At-Large. This is a very positive, privilege, great opportunity to follow our mission and strengthen our work, regardless of whether you hold an official position here or not. We have a lot of active, positive people (new ones too!), and I want to thank you on behalf of the EURALO Board for your active work and a very productive, nice 2023 year together. Happy holidays to all of you!

Workshop on Communication in Extreme Environments for Science and Sustainable Development
by Roberto Gaetano Dec. 6, 2023

Dec. 6, 2023

Dear all, I have recently attended the workshop on Communication in Extreme Environments for Science and Sustainable Development - see https://indico.ictp.it/event/10227 - held at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste - see https://www.ictp.it<https://www.ictp.it/>. The workshop has been very interesting having as an overarching theme “Connecting the Unconnected”, analysing the technologies that enable communication in difficult or remote environments as well as providing practical examples of successful applications. While not all the topics addressed are in the scope of ICANN, there are nevertheless many aspects that could bring to reflection and discussion, in particular in view of the need for a multi-stakeholder governance model for telecommunications. As an example, may I mention the broad subject of 6G, integration of terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks (NTN), optical vs radio links, evolution to cognitive networks, and more, all in the view of improving connectivity of poorly connected communities. In the workshop, time was dedicated to presentations of practical applications exploiting innovative ways to connect, including underground and submarine links and mesh networks. One full day was dedicated to delay-tolerant networks (DTN). The issues of standardisation and governance have been raised and discussed in several sessions. The presentations will be available on the https://indico.ictp.it/event/10227 web site. We should keep an eye on this sort of development, keeping in mind that it would be very beneficial to design a multi-stakeholder governance model for new developments like DTN or NTN before being overtaken by events. I also believe that we should raise these issues in IGF fora, like EuroDIG and the Global IGF. It would be good if, in particular for EuroDIG 2024, we could mention these topics in the ongoing "call for issues” - see https://www.eurodig.org/get-involved/planning-process/#tab-call-for-issues.

Dear All, You are invited to participate the fourth APRALO Policy Forum Fireside Chat: "Let's Talk About Internet Fragmentation" on Thursday, 07 December 2023 at 06:00 UTC for 60 minutes, where Justine Chew, APRALO Policy Forum, will be chatting with her guest, Jia-Rong Low, ICANN Vice President, Stakeholder Engagement and Managing Director - Asia Pacific. Join us to learn about how Internet Fragmentation impacts us as Internet end-users, and share your points of view on this topic with us then. Internet Fragmentation continues to be a significant concern within Internet Governance spaces and a hot topic of discourse around the world. In Oct 2023, the Internet Governance community turned up in force in Japan for IGF 2023 Kyoto hosted by the United Nations, to discuss the topic through one of 8 themes: "Avoiding Internet Fragmentation." Digwatch<https://dig.watch/>, wrote in its report on IGF 2023, that, "Internet fragmentation would pose significant challenges to the global and interconnected nature of the internet. It would hinder communication, stifle innovation, and undermine the intended functioning of the internet", citing geopolitical tensions, misinformation, and digital protectionism as escalating threats pressuring the reshaping internet governance, potentially compromising the openness of the Internet. * What does Internet Fragmentation mean and how does it impact individual end-users? * What are some of the dimensions of fragmentation and who are some of the key infrastructural players in those dimensions? * What role does ICANN have or wish to have, as a multi-stakeholder model, in addressing Internet Fragmentation risks, given its "One World, One Internet" goal, and how can the At-Large Community support ICANN's endeavour? ZOOM Registration: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEqf--tqzwvHNA-tylUrpJvFNqqK3sDpflV (you MUST register to join!) *** After registering, you will receive a confirmation e-mail containing information about joining the meeting.*** And if you have any, please let us have your questions for our guest speaker on this topic ahead of the chat, you can submit them by emailing staff or posting them as comments here: https://community.icann.org/x/hQQVD.
