Eduardo: There are currently two main sites: www.icannalac.org - a basically dormant site which was meant to be maintained by the ALAC as their independent voice. After Jean left it basically has been left without being updated; when she was a member of the committee she was the only one who maintained or added information to it. www.alac.icann.org - the 'official' ALAC site, which was very stale (I've started a series of updates designed to carry us through until the new community site is finished There are then the regional sites, which point to the wikis of each region. The new site is going to be: www.atlarge.icann.org This is meant to bring together the ALAC site (official one), plus the features and content of the wikis (providing regions dynamic homesites), plus many of the other features, including those from www.icannalac.org - but far in excess of the feature set that icannnalac.org has.

Re: [EURO-Discuss] [APAC-Discuss] [At-Large] Independent At-Large Website

Complementary sounds good. But we have to keep our working structures efficient and this is why we should discuss how to best run our website and make sure we have not to do similar work on different spots. And we have to have the possibility to post what we think needs to be posted/published right away. The only possibility to do so is on an independent website. We already discussed, that the ICANN website should contain all the standard information on ALAC/RALO members, ALS accreditation procedure etc. Now, that all RALOs are in place we should work on a very efficient working structure including the need of regional focused work as well as the united work on certain issues on a global level. Best Annette

Independent At-Large Website
by Annette Muehlberg July 6, 2007

July 6, 2007

All, a discussion has been started on the NARALO list on how to continue to run our independent ALAC/RALO website after our voluntary website manager Jean had to leave the ALAC december last year. The ALAC thought we could hire someone (her) to help to feed in texts by ALAC/RALO members on our website but after handing in our project form we were finally told that in this case our website would loose its independent status and any text would have to be controlled by ICANN lawyers. So, I am very happy that Eduardo from Puerto Rico just volunteered for running our independent ALAC/RALO website! After he volunteered we now receive the information a "new website is being built". The ALAC made a strong effort to create its own independent website and I think, we should work together and discuss the best structuring of the website and related work together on the At-Large list, so that we will have the full power and creativity of all regions included! best greetings to all of you Annette

New Website for At-Large
by Nick Ashton-Hart July 5, 2007

July 5, 2007

Dear All: Attached you will find the functional specification for the new www.atlarge.icann.org which is being built. This will be a quantum leap forward for At-Large. It incorporates dynamic content - from blogs of members of the community, two-way links between the forums and the mailing lists, fully-imbedded multilingual support, and the ability to seamlessly link the wiki environments into the website - amongst many other features. It will also include 'single-sign-on' functionality, allowing you to login with one userid and password and access the membership system being built in CiviCRM, as well as special content based upon what position or region you belong to in the At-Large community website. Much of the content from www.alac.icann.org will be migrated to the new site, as well as content in the current wiki environments for meetings and documents; we can also bring over historical information which is wanted from www.icannalac.org before updates to that site effectively ceased in December 2006. There should be a preview of the site available in the next few weeks. In completing the site we'll look for input from the community. I hope that you are as excited as I am about what this site will mean to the community - we're once again leading the way in online environments within the ICANN family. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom Main Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011] USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 email: nick.ashton-hart(a)icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart(a)hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart(a)mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart

Wolfgang, I am encouraged by what you say! I also hope that the EURALO will lead the processes, instead of just following them. It's up to the RALOs to show that they can contribute, after some lengthly delays. ISOC-Bulgaria will be happy to contribute through Dessi, and whatever it takes to make sure there's progress. veni

RALO next steps?
by Jacqueline A. Morris June 25, 2007

June 25, 2007

Paul Twomey just mentioned in his President’s report the need for the RALOs to get going quickly on input to the policy processes of ICANN. He also mentioned this in both RALO meetings on Sunday. We should not focus exclusively on building up heavy structures, creating documents, rules and procedures, but we should focus on and move ahead on obtaining and transmitting the end user perspective on the main issues that are on the table at ICANN right now. Some of these are: · Protection of Registrants in relation to Registrars (RAA amendments) · IPv6 · IDNs · DNSSEC · gTLD process · ICANN Geographic Regions (a joint interest with the ccNSO) Most of these will be the subject of workshops or tutorials this week. For those of you who are here in San Juan, please make time to attend the sessions. Remote participation is available for most of the sessions as well. ALAC members who have focused on some of these issues, building specialties in certain issues, will also be available to discuss the issues with you if you want. We have also created At Large working groups on some of these issues, and you can find this information at https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?at_large_policy_working_groups Thanks everyone Jacqueline PS: Can AP and AF members forward this to those lists? (Alice, Hawa, Mohammed, Cheryl, Siavash, Izumi) I’ve not got access to those lists as yet – working on it. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Hi Karen, fyi: most of the board is "remote" now - if you relate to the icann meeting. here, in san juan are only the non-voting board members of alac (sebastien, veronica and myself) as well as vittorio and désirée. In respect to EURALO we all meet only online. ;-) best annette > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Discussion for At-Large Europe <euro-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> > Gesendet: 25.06.07 01:36:20 > An: Discussion for At-Large Europe <euro-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> > Betreff: Re: [EURO-Discuss] the EURALO board > > hi wolf > > >For my part, I would feel comfortable to proceed along the lines > >suggested by Vittorio and Bill -- as I confirmed already in my > >previous mail. > > sorry if i missed that - i really struggled to read that last message > of yours as the lines were all wrapped.. > > >I also agree with other motions from yesterday that it's no priority > >at all to start discussions about modifying or changing the By-laws. > >It makes no sense to continue with procedural issues.

Arranging a EURALO Board meeting during San Juan
by Nick Ashton-Hart June 17, 2007

June 17, 2007

Dear All: I'm happy to make the administrative arrangements for a F2F/remote participation meeting of the EURALO board during the San Juan meeting (and indeed at any other time of course), however, I do need some advance warning. The San Juan schedule is now out, at http://www.icann.org/meetings/ sanjuan - could those who plan to attend San Juan perhaps provide those not attending with their availability? Once you all have decided what you wish to do I'll make the necessary arrangements. If a teleconference of members is needed to make the decision again I'm happy to make that arrangement too. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom Main Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011] USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 email: nick.ashton-hart(a)icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart(a)hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart(a)mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart
