EURALO-RIPE MoU Draft - please comment
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond Aug. 22, 2017

Aug. 22, 2017

Dear EURALO members, as you know, Wolf and I have been in discussions with RIPE NCC, Europe's Regional Internet Registry (RIR), to follow the example of other regions and build some better links between them and EURALO, including the possible signing of a Memorandum of Association for further collaboration. After a few meetings, RIPE has now come back to us with the attached proposed MoU. Please be so kind to comment on the contents of the MoU. I have passed this text by the EURALO Board and have received no objection to present it as is to the EURALO membership. I have presented this text during the last EURALO call and the following suggestion was made to add the following text: "The RIPE NCC and EURALO recognize the benefits of mutual collaboration and support between the Parties on Internet-related issues, including but not limited to mutual cooperation to sustain the global stability of the Internet" This text makes sense and received consensus support on the EURALO call. Should there be no objection, I shall ask RIPE whether they would be agreeable to add this text to the MoU. The format and contents of the MoU are based on the MoUs of other RALO. Do you suggest adding anything else to the text? Kindest regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond EURALO Chair

Alexandra Kulikova to Head Stakeholder Engagement for Eastern Europe & Central Asia at ICANN
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond Aug. 22, 2017

Aug. 22, 2017

Dear Colleagues, https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-08-21-en please join me in welcoming Alexandra Kulikova as new Head of Stakeholder Engagement for Eastern Europe & Central Asia, and to thank Michael Yakushev for his collaboration with our RALO in recent years. We wish Michael every success in his post-ICANN career. Of course, Alexandra is not a newcomer. She has been supporting our work in Eastern Europe for a long time, working with Michael. So it's great to see her being the person to take over this very important position which spans a large region with extensive political, cultural and geographical significance. I look forward working with her to reinforce our reach in Eastern Europe. Kindest regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond EURALO Chair

EURALO Outreach Strategic Plan - please comment
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond Aug. 21, 2017

Aug. 21, 2017

Dear colleagues, please be so kind to find this year's EURALO Outreach Strategic Plan, developed in coordination with the EURALO Board as well as EURALO's ALS Engagement Task Force. Because I have launched this process too late, we are really late with the plan and it should be filed with ICANN by the end of the week, which gives us only 24H to finalise this plan. For the purpose of speeding things up, please be so kind to comment directly on the Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11Um3WHmpuhloKceWP26BMdFZ6Xla7NAnX3_VCdI… I'll issue a deadline of tomorrow (Friday) 12:00 UTC for closing comments. I realise it is a very short deadline, but this is only one step towards our outreach strategy and we will always be able to improve on this over the year. Kindest regards, Olivier

Indeed, the response has been drafted with the direct input of the At-Large Review Working Party whose members are listed on https://community.icann.org/x/aZMQAw These are your representatives, many of whom have helped write the RALO response to the At-Large Review Draft report consultation, which you can read on: https://community.icann.org/x/KJjRAw The document is now the response to the At-Large Review FINAL report, as well as the ALAC's proposed implementation plan which has integrated both the ALAC response to the above consultation *and* the RALO response. This is what is going to go to the Board - and it describes what the ALAC is proposing to implement to improve At-Large. That's why it's so important. That's why I am sending this link to you now.

Or what is the state of ICANN's financials? Or how much is being spent on travel and meetings? What if you could find these answers and more in one central place on icann.org? We'll soon be launching the new Accountability Indicators page, which will replace the KPI Dashboard. There, you'll have visibility into progress against ICANN's strategic and operating plans through through easy-to-read charts and detailed data. You'll now be able to drill down to view underlying data. This is one more way the ICANN organization is showing its commitment to accountability. The page is scheduled to launch in the next few weeks - watch for the announcement! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improving the Quarterly Stakeholder Reports As part of the ICANN organization's accountability and transparency, for the past three years, we've held a quarterly call to report on the previous quarter's activities. We've been exploring ways to improve the calls. We've seen low turnout on the live calls, but a strong interest in the recordings and report posted on our website. As a trial, we're removing the live call, and will instead present highlights in a short prerecorded Adobe Connect call. We'll continue to post the detailed quarterly report. If you have questions, email them in advance to engagement(a)icann.org [mailto:engagement@icann.org] and we'll answer them in the report. This new format starts 7 September, when we'll post the FY17 Q4 update. As always, we'll announce when the recording and report are available.

Since October 2016, Bladel has served as the interim representative. The GNSO Council asked the GNSO Standing Selection Committee to develop the criteria and process for selecting the permanent GNSO representative. The GNSO Council adopted the proposed criteria and process during its meeting on 28 June 2017. The process stipulates that the GNSO Council leadership team will select one of its members (chair, vice chairs) to serve as the representative. The GNSO Council confirmed the decision during its meeting on 13 July 2017. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ccNSO Council Adopts CWG-UCTN Final Paper One week before ICANN59, the Cross-Community Working Group on the Use of Country and Territory Names as Top-Level Domains (CWG-UCTN) submitted its final paper [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ljkduyi4CaNreyl3gJMgkuIBVt8h4fC4CYD6aE_FlbOU…] to the ccNSO and GNSO Councils for deliberation and decision-making. ccNSO members also discussed the recommendations of the CWG-UCTN during the ccNSO members meeting [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ljkduyi4CaNreyl3gJMgkuIBVt8h4fC4CYD6aE_FlbOU…] At its 20 July meeting [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ljkduyi4CaNreyl3gJMgkuIBVt8h4fC4CYD6aE_FlbOU…] the ccNSO Council adopted the CWG-UCTN final paper (read the executive summary [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ljkduyi4CaNreyl3gJMgkuIBVt8h4fC4CYD6aE_FlbOU… supported the following recommendations: * The chartering organizations (ccNSO and GNSO) should close the CWG-UCTN in accordance with and as foreseen in the charter. * The ICANN community should consolidate all policy efforts relating to geographic names to enable in-depth analyses and discussions on all aspects related to all geographic-related names. * Future policy development work must facilitate an all-inclusive dialogue to ensure that all members of the community have the opportunity to participate.

At-Large aims to submit this plan to the ICANN Board Organization Effectiveness Committee in late August, prior to ICANN Board action on the ITEMS recommendations.

The community will focus on refining the content, giving input, proposing implementation steps for each recommendation, and creating a list of priorities. In addition, the community will review and consider if the RALO Statement on the At-Large Review Draft Report [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ljkduyi4CaNreyl3gJMgkuIBVt8h4fC4CYD6aE_FlbOU…] should be incorporated into this document. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GAC Looks Ahead to ICANN60 Since ICANN59, the GAC leadership has focused on follow-up items such as the cross-community discussion on "Who Sets ICANN's Priorities?"

Important Webinar Invitation: At-Large Review Feasibility Assessment and Implementation Plan Webinar on Wednesday, 16 August 2017 at 16:00 UTC
by ICANN At-Large Staff Aug. 14, 2017

Aug. 14, 2017

Dear All, Further to the Doodle poll, the At-Large Review Feasibility Assessment and Implementation Plan Webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, 16 August 2017 at 16:00 UTC for 60 mins. For other times: http://tinyurl.com/ybb7usf9 The agenda (to be updated) and call details can be found at: https://community.icann.org/x/XxUhB ***** As a reminder of Olivier Crépin-Leblond’s e-mail in preparation for this call, please see below: “The Webinar will be explaining the contents of the plan that the ALAC will submit to the ICANN Board committee in charge of organizational reviews. The working document can be viewed on: http://bit.ly/2uQ1obO At this stage it is still being cleaned up but the tight deadline means that we need to share it with everyone now, giving you time to read through it ahead of next Wednesday's Webinar, so you may ask questions and make suggestions during the Webinar. You will recognize many parts of the response look like text you have already read - or contributed to. Indeed, the response has been drafted with the direct input of the At-Large Review Working Party whose members are listed on https://community.icann.org/x/aZMQAw These are your representatives, many of whom have helped write the RALO response to the At-Large Review Draft report consultation, which you can read on: https://community.icann.org/x/KJjRAw The document is now the response to the At-Large Review FINAL report, as well as the ALAC's proposed implementation plan which has integrated both the ALAC response to the above consultation *and* the RALO response. This is what is going to go to the Board - and it describes what the ALAC is proposing to implement to improve At-Large. That's why it's so important. That's why I am sending this link to you now. That's why we look forward to seeing you on the Webinar on Wednesday.” ***** Conference Bridge: 1638 English 1738 Spanish 1838 French Adigo: http://adigo.com/icann/ Adobe Connect: https://participate.icann.org/atlarge-review/ If you require a dial-out, please contact At-Large Staff at staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<applewebdata://F55D30EE-4948-41EB-90D0-3B906B1CADE5/staff@atlarge.icann.org> with your preferred number.
