WIKIPEDIA for World Heritage
by Manuel Schneider May 24, 2011

May 24, 2011

Dear all, a bit off-topic but I was assured that I may post this here: Our german friends at Wikimedia Deutschland, the national support organisation between the Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia, has started a petition to convince the german government to nominate Wikipedia as world heritage site at the UNESCO. So may I ask you - any EURALO members or interested ALSes - to sign up at this petition: http://wikipedia.de/wke/Main_Page Of course that I as the contact person of Wikimedia CH, the swiss Wikimedia chapter, am in favour of that petition, nonetheless of the arguable chance to actually get selected. Even the discussions and arguments that would follow the nomination are (in my personal opinion) worth to start this process. Wikipedia would be the first digital cultur phenomenon that has been discussed at UNESCO. The vision to make knowledge available for every human being in the world has driven a massive movement in the last 10 years - also outside Wikipedia itself. Read here an article about this idea the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/23/technology/23wikipedia.html?_r=2&hpw=&pag… Thanks a lot, Manuel -- Regards Manuel Schneider Wikimedia CH - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Wikimedia CH - Association for the advancement of free knowledge www.wikimedia.ch

Academic Representation on NonCom
by Carlton Samuels May 19, 2011

May 19, 2011

I would endorse Christoper's suggestion re source of representative. The academics associated with RENs would have an acute interest in the Internet space. It would not be too much of a struggle to identify them; there are compendiums published by both TERENA and CLARA with very good information ob subject. And yes, I would be concerned that if you make the attribute set for possible candidates so broad, it might become way too generic.

EURODIG / EURALO GA Hotels
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond May 19, 2011

May 19, 2011

Hello all, as discussed on the EURALO conference call earlier this week, our EURALO General Assembly (GA) is taking place next week on Sunday 29th May 2011. It was mentioned that someone had enquired with the Palace Hotel, the hotel in which Wolf is staying, and was told that the hotel waq fully booked. Actually, if you enquire directly with the hotel, you are indeed told it is fully booked because they are holding rooms until the end of this week, for the EURODIG people. This means that you need to book through the EURODIG Web Site - which also allows you to have the special rate of 59 Euros a night B&B. http://www.eurodig.rs/en/accommodation Book using the big blue "RESERVATION" button. Book as soon as possible because it looks as though by the end of this week, they'll re-open reservations to the general public. I have just booked yesterday and received confirmation for the Hotel Palace today. I hope this helps, Olivier -- Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond, PhD http://www.gih.com/ocl.html

Public Comment: Community Input Requested on Academia Representation on NomCom
by Christopher Wilkinson May 19, 2011

May 19, 2011

Good afternoon: May I draw your attention to the consultation about the ICANN Nominating Committee, below: > http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-30apr11-en.htm > Indeed it is not evident how the ICANN Board could identify a single entity and a single individual to represent the global academic community world wide. (I recall that the seat was filled for a time, in the past, by <educause.edu>, although I may be mistaken. ) Consequently, I have some sympathy with the proposed amendment. The proposed text is: <<Deleted: c. An entity designated by the Board to represent academic and similar organizations;>> However, the real question is how this newly vacant seat on NomCom will be re-allocated, or not. The original intention expressed in the ByLaws was that the academic user community world wide (there are quite a lot of them) would have a voice and a vote in this context. From the At Large point of view, deletion of this seat will intrinsically shift the balance of opinion and votes in the NomCom away from the user interest, albeit not radically on this occasion. Accordingly, I would suggest that an appropriate re-allocation of the vacant seat be undertaken to maintain the present balance of opinion and votes in the ICANN Nominating Committee. We may discuss - quickly - how this point might be made, either through the Chair of ALAC or the Chair of EURALO. Alternatively, I shall respond personally to the consultation before the deadline, 30 May, 2011.
