Planning oft the next EURALO GA in Belgrade
by Wolf Ludwig March 7, 2011

March 7, 2011

Dear all, during the last monthly calls we decided to organise our next General Assembly (GA) in conjunction with the EuroDIG 2011 end of May in Belgrade. Unfortunately, we are in the same situation as for Vilnius (where we held our last GA), and we cannot provide any travel support. An application was submitted to ICANN to have the next – funded and real F2F – GA in line with the ICANN meeting 2012 in Europe again. For the planning of the 2011 GA we need to know who is intending to come to the next EuroDIG, 30 to 31 May in Belgrade? For further infos see http://www.eurodig.org/ Regarding the tight program planning of the EuroDIG, there will hardly be any good opportunity to hold our GA during the official event (Monday and Tuesday). Therefore, the best time for us would be either at the eve, on Sunday, 29 May late afternoon/evening or at the end of the EuroDIG on Tuesday afternoon (31 May) – when many people will presumably leave Belgrade again. For this reason, my personal preference would be Sunday, late afternoon, what I discussed as an option with the local organisers already. To start with further organisational issues, please let me know - WHO will come to Belgrade end of May? - What day you prefer to convene our GA (regarding the options)? Thanks for letting me know ASAP (until 12 March) to continue with our preparations!

Beginner's Guides now available
by ICANN At-Large Staff March 5, 2011

March 5, 2011

Dear All, The ICANN Communications Department is pleased to announce that the "Beginner's Guide to IP Addresses", the second in a series of Beginner's Guides prepared at the request of the ALAC, has now been posted to ICANN's website. Although it is currently only in English, the French and Spanish versions will be available shortly. In addition, the first Beginner's Guide entitled "Beginner's Guide to Domain Names" is newly available in French and Spanish. The Beginner's Guides are available at: http://www.icann.org/en/learning/. The summary of the "Beginner's Guide to IP Addresses" is: Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are the unique identifying numbers that all computers and devices connected to the Internet depend on to communicate with each other. When the pool of available unallocated addresses for IPv4, the original IP addressing system, completely depleted this year, the Internet began a transition to IPv6, a newer Internet Protocol system. This highly readable guide, created in cooperation with ICANN's At-Large community, helps the individual user understand IP addresses and the transition from IPv4 to IPv6. The summary of the Beginner's Guide to Domain Names is: A domain name can become where other people find you on line, and adds to your online identity. Although domain names are a big part of the Internet, understanding how these names work (and the ins and outs of obtaining them) can be mystifying at first. This highly readable guide, created in cooperation with ICANN's At-Large community, helps the individual user understand and use domain names. The Communications Department seeks the At-Large community's feedback on the quality of the French and Spanish translations of the Beginner's Guide to Domain Names. Please send your concrete suggestions to Scott Pinzon, Director, Marketing & Outreach at: scott.pinzon(a)icann.org. Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Seth Greene, Gisella Gruber-White, Marilyn Vernon, ICANN At-Large Staff
