Comunicado de prensa sobre el cargo en la Junta Directiva seleccionado por At-Large.
by ICANN At-Large Staff Aug. 31, 2010

Aug. 31, 2010

Estimados, Véase en el archivo adjunto la versión española del comunicado de prensa de la ICANN sobre el cargo en la Junta Directiva seleccionado por At-Large. PARA PUBLICACIÓN INMEDIATA 23 de agosto de 2010 Se buscan candidatos de la comunidad de usuarios de Internet para ser miembros de la Junta Directiva El grupo de ICANN que representa a usuarios individuales de Internet llama a candidatos que estén interesados en ayudar en el desarrollo de políticas mientras que se desempeñen como miembros de la Junta Directiva de la organización. La comunidad de alcance de ICANN (que representa a usuarios individuales de Internet) está realizando una búsqueda global para ocupar el cargo de miembro de la Junta reservado para un usuario de Internet que no represente a ningún gobierno en particular, empresa o entidad sin fines de lucro. “Se trata de darle voz al usuario promedio de Internet de todos los días en la organización global sin fines de lucro encargada de coordinar el sistema de direccionamiento de Internet,” dijo Cheryl Langdon-Orr, el presidente del comité asesor de alcance (ALAC). “ICANN quiere escuchar a todos los segmentos de la comunidad de Internet, incluyendo a los individuos que generalmente sienten que no tienen voz en la creación de políticas.” ALAC está buscando a alguien con una amplia perspectiva internacional y antecedentes en los intereses de los usuarios de Internet, políticas de usuarios y/o sociedades civiles en todo el mundo. El miembro de la Junta de alcance podrá opinar acerca de los numerosos asuntos de ICANN que ayuden a definir la organización, tales como:  La expansión de dominios de primer nivel (gTLDs) – la parte de la dirección Web al final del nombre (p. ej. .com, .org, .asia, etc.). ICANN está considerando cuál sería la mejor forma de expandir la lista actual de 21 para incluir una gran variedad de nombres y palabras.  Orientación en la implementación de nombres de dominio internacionalizados (IDNs), lo que permite la introducción de nombres de direcciones de Internet en idiomas no latinos, donde caracteres tales como chinos, coreanos o arábigos se usarán en la última parte del nombre de la dirección.  La transición de IPv4 a IPv6. Este cambio en protocolos de Internet expandirá enormemente la cantidad disponible de direcciones de Internet globales, ya que las direcciones actuales de IPv4 están disminuyendo rápidamente. “El Internet está definido por su habilidad única de darle voz a todos,” dijo Langdon-Orr. “Esta es una oportunidad para extender el concepto de inclusión al nivel más alto de ICANN.” Las personas interesadas pueden obtener más información escribiendo al Comité de evaluación de candidatos para la Junta a BCEC-Request(a)icann.org. El plazo para presentarse para el puesto de la Junta de alcance es hasta el 6 de Septiembre de 2010. ### Para leer más acerca de la búsqueda de un miembro de la Junta de la comunidad de alcance de ICANN y del proceso para presentarse, visite: https://st.icann.org/working-groups/index.cgi?at_large_director_candidate_2… Para leer más acerca de la comunidad de alcance de ICANN, visite: http://www.atlarge.icann.org/en/whatis.htm CONTACTOS: Brad White – Director de medios globales Washington, DC USA Tel: +1 202.570.7118 brad.white(a)icann.org Michele Jourdan – Coordinador de medios y marketing Los Angeles, CA USA Tel: +1 310.301.5831 michele.jourdan(a)icann.org Heidi Ullrich – Director de alcance Los Angeles, CA USA Tel: +1 310.578.8647 Heidi.ullrich(a)icann.org La misión de ICANN es asegurar un Internet global seguro, estable y unificado.

Communiqué de presse sur le siège au conseil d'administration d¹ICANN sélectionné par At-Large.
by ICANN At-Large Staff Aug. 31, 2010

Aug. 31, 2010

Bonjour, Nous vous prions de trouver ci-joint la version française du communiqué de presse de l’ICANN sur le siège au conseil d'administration d’ICANN sélectionné par At-Large. POUR PUBLICATION IMMÉDIATE 23 août 2010 Candidatures recherchées dans la Communauté des Utilisateurs d'Internet pour un siège au conseil d'administration Le groupe ICANN représentant les utilisateurs individuels d'Internet fait appel à candidature pour ceux qui seraient intéressés à participer au développement des politiques tout en servant au conseil d'administration de l'organisation. La communauté « At Large » de ICANN (représentant les utilisateurs individuels d'Internet) effectue une recherche mondiale afin de pourvoir un siège pour un utilisateur d'Internet ne représentant pas un gouvernement, une entreprise ou une entité sans but lucratif. « Il s'agit d'apporter une voix à l'utilisateur moyen d'Internet de tous les jours dans l'organisation mondiale à but non lucratif chargée de coordonner le système d'adressage d'Internet » a déclaré Cheryl Langdon-Orr, Présidente de At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC). « ICANN veut entendre tous les segments de la communauté Internet, y compris les personnes individuelles qui pensent souvent qu'ils n'ont pas droit au chapitre dans la formation des politiques ». ALAC recherche quelqu'un ayant une perspective internationale étendue et une expérience dans les intérêts des utilisateurs d'Internet, les politiques de consommateur et/ou la société civile internationale. Le membre du Bureau At-Large aura une voix dans les nombreuses questions de ICANN aidant à définir l'organisation, comme :  L'expansion des domaines de haut niveau génériques (dTLD) – la portion de nom d'adresse web à la fin du nom d'adresse (par exemple, .com, .org, .asia, etc.). ICANN considère comment étendre au mieux la liste actuelle de 21 pour inclure une grande variété de noms et de mots.  Le guide d'implémentation des Noms de Domaine Internationalisés (IDN), permetatnt l'introduction de noms d'adresse Internet formés dans des langues non latines, où des scripts comme le chinois, le coréen ou l'arabe seront employés, doit être utilisé dans la dernière portion d'un nom d'adresse.  La transition de IPv4 vers IPv6. Ce changement dans les protocoles Internet va largement étendre le nombre d'adresses Internet mondiales disponibles, les adresses IPv4 se réduisant actuellement rapidement. « L'Internet est défini par sa capacité unique à donner la parole à chacun », a déclaré Langdon-Orr. « C'est une opportunité pour étendre ce concept d'inclusion au plus haut niveau de ICANN ». Les parties intéressées peuvent obtenir plus d'informations en écrivant au Board Candidate Evaluation Committee de ICANN à BCEC-Request(a)icann.org. La date limite de candidature pour le siège au Bureau At-Large est le 6 septembre 2010. ### Pour en savoir plus sur la recherche pour un membre du Bureau de la communauté At-Large de ICANN et sur le procesus de candidature, consultez : https://st.icann.org/working-groups/index.cgi?at_large_director_candidate_2… Pour en savoir plus sur la Communauté At-Large de ICANN, consultez : http://www.atlarge.icann.org/en/whatis.htm CONTACTS : Brad White – Director of Global Media Affairs Washington, DC USA Tél. : +1 202.570.7118 brad.white(a)icann.org Michele Jourdan – Media & Marketing Coordinator Los Angeles, CA USA Tél. : +1 310.301.5831 michele.jourdan(a)icann.org Heidi Ullrich – Director for At-Large Los Angeles, CA USA Tél. : +1 310.578.8647 Heidi.ullrich(a)icann.org La mission de ICANN est de garantir un Internet mondial sûr, stable et unifié. Pour contacter une personne sur Internet, vous devez entrer une adresse sur votre ordinateur : un nom ou un numéro. Cette adresse doit être unique pour permettre aux ordinateurs de s’identifier entre eux. L’ICANN coordonne ces identifiants uniques à l’échelle internationale. Sans cette coordination, nous n’aurions pas le réseau Internet mondial unique que nous connaissons. ICANN a été fondée en 1998. C'est une organisation à but non lucratif et reconnue d'utilité publique, rassemblant des personnes du monde entier qui oeuvrent à la préservation de la sécurité, de la stabilité et de l’interopérabilité d’Internet. Elle encourage la concurrence et développe des politiques d’identifiants Internet uniques. ICANN ne contrôle pas le contenu publié sur Internet. Elle ne peut mettre fin au spam et ne gère aucunement l’accès à Internet.

Nota de imprensa sobre o conselho de Administração da ICANN selecionado pelo At-Large
by ICANN At-Large Staff Aug. 31, 2010

Aug. 31, 2010

Estimados, Veja-se no arquivo anexo a versão portuguesa da nota de imprensa da ICANN sobre o cargo no conselho de Administração selecionado pelo At-Large. PARA LIBERAÇÃO IMEDIATA 23 deagosto de 2010 Candidatos procurados na comunidade de usuários da Internet para vaga no Conselho de Administração O grupo ICANN, representando os usuários de Internet, está solicitando inscrições daqueles que podem estar interessados em ajudar a desenvolver políticas enquanto atuam no Conselho de Administração da organização. A comunidade At-Large da ICANN (representando os usuários individuais da Internet) está realizando uma pesquisa global para preencher uma vaga no Conselho para um usuário da Internet que não representa um governo particular, corporação ou entidade sem fins lucrativos. “O objetivo é fornecer uma voz para o usuário médio da Internet, que usa a rede todos os dias, na organização global sem fins lucrativos encarregada de coordenar o sistema de endereçamento da Internet”, explica Cheryl Langdon-Orr, Presidente do Comitê Consultivo At-Large (ALAC). “A ICANN quer ouvir todos os segmentos da comunidade da Internet, incluindo as pessoas que em geral sentem que não têm voz na formação de políticas.” A ALAC está buscando alguém com uma ampla perspectiva internacional e background nos interesses dos usuários da Internet, política de consumidores e/ou sociedade civil mundial. O membro do Conselho At-Large teria voz nas inúmeras questões da ICANN que ajudam a definir a organização, tais como:  A expansão dos domínios genéricos de nível superior (gTLDs) – aquela parte do nome de um endereço da Web no final do nome do endereço (ou seja, .com, .org, .asia, etc.). A ICANN está pensando na melhor maneira de expandir a lista atual de 21 para incluir uma ampla variedade de nomes e palavras.  Orientação na implementação de Nomes de Domínios Internacionalizados (IDNs), que permite a criação de nomes de endereço de Internet formados de idiomas não-latinos, em que serão usados scripts como chinês, coreano ou árabe na parte final de um nome de endereço.  A transição do IPv4 para o IPv6. Essa mudança nos Protocolos de Internet vai expandir em muito o número disponível de endereços globais de Internet, uma vez que os atuais endereços IPv4 estão diminuindo rapidamente. “A Internet é definida por sua capacidade exclusiva de dar voz a todos”, afirma Langdon-Orr. “Esta é uma oportunidade de estender esse conceito da inclusão para o nível superior da ICANN.” As partes interessadas podem obter mais informações escrevendo para o Comitê de Avaliação dos Candidatos ao Conselho da ICANN, no endereço BCEC-Request(a)icann.org. O prazo para se candidatar para a vaga no Conselho At-Large é 6 de setembro de 2010. ### Para ler mais sobre a pesquisa da Comunidade At-Large da ICANN para o membro do Conselho e o processo de candidatura, visite: https://st.icann.org/working-groups/index.cgi?at_large_director_candidate_2… Para ler mais sobre a Comunidade At-Large da ICANN, visite: http://www.atlarge.icann.org/en/whatis.htm CONTATOS Brad White – Diretor de Questões de Mídia Global Washington, DC, EUA Fone: +1 202.570.7118 brad.white(a)icann.org Michele Jourdan – Coordenador de Mídia e Marketing Los Angeles, CA, EUA Fone: +1 310.301.5831 michele.jourdan(a)icann.org Heidi Ullrich – Diretor para At-Large Los Angeles, CA, EUA Fone: +1 310.578.8647 Heidi.ullrich(a)icann.org A missão da ICANN é garantir uma Internet global estável, segura e unificada.

A ICANN coordena esses identificadores exclusivos ao redor do mundo. Sem essa coordenação, não teríamos uma Internet global. A ICANN se constituiu em 1998. É uma entidade sem fins lucrativos em benefício público de todas as partes do mundo dedicada a manter a Internet segura, estável e uniforme. Ela promove competição e desenvolve diretrizes para identificadores exclusivos da Internet A ICANN não controla o conteúdo da Internet. Não pode parar spams e não lida com acesso à Internet.

Pressemitteilung zum At-Large gewählten ICANN Vorstandssitz
by ICANN At-Large Staff Aug. 31, 2010

Aug. 31, 2010

Geschätzte Mitglieder, Anbei findet ihr ICANN’s Pressemitteilung über den durch die At-Large Community gewählten ICANN Vorstandssitz. ZUR SOFORTIGEN VERÖFFENTLICHUNG 23. Aug. 2010 Bewerber aus der Community der Internetbenutzer für einen Platz im Vorstand gesucht Die ICANN-Gruppe, die individuelle Internetbenutzer vertritt, fordert alle, die an der Entwicklung von Verfahrensweisen interessiert sind, auf sich zu bewerben und im Vorstand der Organisation tätig zu sein. Die ICANN At-Large-Community (die individuelle Internetbenutzer vertritt) führt derzeit weltweit eine Suche nach einem geeigneten Internetbenutzer durch, der einen reservierten Platz im Vorstand einnehmen soll. Dieser Internetbenutzer darf weder eine bestimmte Regierung, noch ein Unternehmen oder eine gemeinnützige Einrichtung vertreten. "Hier geht es darum, dem durchschnittlichen, normalen Internetbenutzer in einer globalen gemeinnützigen Einrichtung, der mit der Koordination des Internet-Adressierungssystem befasst ist, ein Mitspracherecht zu geben", sagt Cheryl Langdon-Orr, die Vorsitzende des At-Large-Committees (ALAC). "ICANN möchte Meinungen aus allen Bereichen der Internet-Community hören, auch von denjenigen, die oft das Gefühl haben, dass sie bei der Entwicklung der Verfahrensweisen nicht einbezogen werden". ALAC sucht nach jemand mit einer umfassenden internationalen Perspektive und Erfahrungen mit den Interessen von Internetbenutzern, mit dem Thema Verbraucherpolitik und/oder der weltweiten Zivilgesellschaft. Das At-Large-Vorstandsmitglied hätte ein Mitspracherecht bei den zahlreichen ICANN-Themen, die dabei helfen, die Organisation zu definieren, wie beispielsweise:  Die Ausweitung von generischen Top-Level-Domains (gTLDs) – dem Anteil eines Internetadressnamens, der am Ende eines Adressnamens angezeigt wird (d.h. .com, .org, .asia usw.). ICANN überlegt, wie die derzeit aus 21 Domains bestehende Liste am besten erweitert werden könnte, um eine Vielzahl von Namen und Wörtern aufzunehmen.  Beratung bei der Implementierung der Domains mit Sonderzeichen (Internationalized Domain Names oder IDNs) zur Einführung von Internetadressnamen, die nicht auf mit dem lateinischen Alphabet gebildeten Sprachen basieren, und bei denen beispielsweise chinesische, koreanische oder arabische Schriftzeichen im letzten Teil eines Adressnamens verwendet werden.  Der Übergang von IPv4 zu IPv6. Diese Änderung bei den Internetprotokollen wird die verfügbare Anzahl globaler Internetadressen deutlich erweitern, da die derzeitigen IPv4-Adressen rasch immer weniger werden. "Das Internet wird durch seine einmalige Fähigkeit definiert, jedermann eine Stimme zu verleihen", sagt Langdon-Orr. "Dies ist eine Möglichkeit, das Konzept der Einbeziehung in die oberste Ebene von ICANN zu erweitern." Wenn Sie interessiert sind, schreiben Sie an das ICANN-Board Candidate Evaluation Committee unter BCEC-Request(a)icann.org, um weitere Informationen zu erhalten. Der Abgabetermin für die Bewerbung um den Sitz im At-Large-Vorstand ist der 6. September 2010. ### Weitere Informationen über die Suche der At-Large-Community von ICANN nach einem Vorstandsmitglied und das Bewerbungsverfahren finden Sie unter der folgenden Internetadresse: https://st.icann.org/working-groups/index.cgi?at_large_director_candidate_2… Wenn Sie mehr über die ICANN At-Large-Community erfahren möchten, besuchen Sie folgende Website: http:// www.atlarge.icann.org/en/whatis.htm KONTAKTINFORMATIONEN: Brad White – Director of Global Media Affairs Washington, DC, USA Tel. +1 202.570.7118 brad.white(a)icann.org Michele Jourdan – Media & Marketing Coordinator Los Angeles, CA, USA Tel. +1 310.301.5831 michele.jourdan(a)icann.org Heidi Ullrich – Director for At-Large Los Angeles, CA, USA Ph: +1 310.578.8647 Heidi.ullrich(a)icann.org Der Auftrag von ICANN lautet, ein stabiles, sicheres und einheitliches globales Internet sicherzustellen. Um eine andere Person im Internet zu erreichen, müssen Sie eine Adresse in Ihrem Computer eingeben - entweder einen Namen oder eine Nummer. Diese Adresse muss eindeutig sein, damit Computer sich untereinander finden können. Aufgabe von ICANN ist es hierbei, diese eindeutigen Identifikatoren weltweit zu koordinieren. Ohne eine solche Koordinierung gäbe es kein global einheitliches Internet. ICANN wurde 1998 als nicht auf Gewinn ausgerichtete, gemeinnützige Vereinigung mit Teilnehmern aus aller Welt gegründet und widmet sich seither der Sicherheit, Stabilität und Interoperabilität des Internets. Sie fördert den Wettbewerb und entwickelt Richtlinien zu den Unique Identifiers des Internets. ICANN kontrolliert keine Inhalte im Internet. Die Verhinderung von Spam-Mails und die Gewährung von Internetzugängen gehört ebenfalls nicht zu ihren Aufgaben. Doch aufgrund ihrer Rolle bei der Koordinierung des Internet-Namenssystems hat die Organisation einen großen Einfluss auf die Erweiterung und Entwicklung des Internets.

Russian Version of ICANN Press Release on the At-Large selected ICANN Board seat
by ICANN At-Large Staff Aug. 31, 2010

Aug. 31, 2010

Dear All, Please find attached the Russian version of ICANN’s press release on the At-Large selected ICANN Board seat. ДЛЯ НЕМЕДЛЕННОГО ОПУБЛИКОВАНИЯ 23 августа 2010 г. Поиск кандидатов от сообщества пользователей Интернета на место в Правлении Группа ICANN, представляющая интересы индивидуальных пользователей Интернета, объявляет о приеме заявлений от лиц, заинтересованных в оказании помощи при разработке политики в период своей работы в составе Правления организации. Расширенное сообщество ICANN (представляющее интересы индивидуальных пользователей Интернета) осуществляет глобальный поиск с целью заполнения места в Правлении, зарезервированного для пользователя Интернета, который не является представителем конкретного правительства, корпорации или некоммерческой организации. «Основная цель заключается в предоставлении права голоса среднему регулярному пользователю Интернета в глобальной некоммерческой организации, отвечающей за координацию работы системы адресации Интернета», — сказала Шерил Лэнгдон-Орр, председатель Расширенного консультативного комитета (РКК). «ICANN стремится услышать мнения из всех сегментов интернет-сообщества, включая индивидуальных пользователей, которые часто считают, что у них нет права голоса при формировании политики». РКК ищет человека с широким международным кругозором и опытом в области защиты интересов пользователей Интернета, политики защиты прав потребителей и/или гражданского общества во всем мире. Член Правления, представляющий расширенное сообщество, будет иметь право голоса при принятии решений по многочисленным вопросам, способствующим формированию организационной структуры, которые рассматривает ICANN. В число этих вопросов входят следующие.  Расширение пространства родовых доменов верхнего уровня (рДВУ) — части веб-адреса в конце адресного имени (то есть .com, .org, .asia и т. д.). В настоящее время ICANN обсуждает наилучшие пути расширения текущего списка, насчитывающего 21 рДВУ, до широкого многообразия имен и слов.  Руководящие указания по внедрению интернационализированных доменных имен (ИДИ), позволяющих ввести адресные имена Интернета, сформированные на основе языков, не использующих латинский алфавит, когда в качестве последней части адресного имени будут использоваться такие алфавиты, как Китайский, Корейский или Арабский .  Переход от протокола IPv4 к IPv6. Это изменение протоколов Интернета существенно расширит доступное количество глобальных адресов Интернета, поскольку количество используемых в настоящее время адресов IPv4 быстро сокращается. «Интернет характеризуется своей уникальной способностью предоставить право голоса каждому», — сказала Лэнгдон-Орр. «Мы имеем возможность расширить данную концепцию, включив в нее верхний уровень ICANN.» Заинтересованные стороны могут получить дополнительную информацию, написав в Комитет расширенного сообщества по выбору кандидата в Правление ICANN по адресу BCEC-Request(a)icann.org. Крайний срок подачи заявлений на должность члена Правления от расширенного сообщества — 6 сентября 2010 г. ### Чтобы прочитать дополнительную информацию о поиске расширенным сообществом ICANN члена Правления и процедуре подачи заявлений, перейдите по следующему адресу: https://st.icann.org/working-groups/index.cgi?at_large_director_candidate_2… Чтобы прочитать дополнительную информацию о расширенном сообществе ICANN, перейдите по следующему адресу: http://www.atlarge.icann.org/en/whatis.htm КОНТАКТНЫЕ ЛИЦА Брэд Уайт (Brad White) — директор по связям со СМИ Вашингтон, округ Колумбия, США тел.: +1 202 570 7118 brad.white(a)icann.org Мишель Джордан (Michele Jourdan) — координатор связей со СМИ и маркетинга Лос-Анджелес, Калифорния, США тел.: +1 310 301 5831 michele.jourdan(a)icann.org Хайди Ульрих (Heidi Ullrich) — директор расширенного сообщества Лос-Анджелес, Калифорния, США тел.: +1 310 578 8647 Heidi.ullrich(a)icann.org Миссия ICANN заключается в обеспечении стабильности, безопасности и единства глобального Интернета. Для связи с другим пользователем Интернета необходимо ввести соответствующий адрес в компьютере: имя или номер. Данный адрес должен быть уникальным, чтобы компьютеры могли найти друг друга. ICANN осуществляет координацию этих уникальных идентификаторов по всему миру. Без этого не существовало бы глобального Интернета. ICANN была создана в 1998 г. Это некоммерческая корпорация, действующая на общественное благо и объединяющая членов из разных стран мира, основной целью которой является поддержка безопасности, стабильности и интероперабельности Интернета. Она содействует развитию конкуренции и разрабатывает политику уникальных идентификаторов Интернета. ICANN не управляет содержимым Интернета. Она не может препятствовать нежелательной почте и не предоставляет доступ к Интернету. Однако, координируя систему присвоения имен Интернета, ICANN оказывает огромное влияние на его расширение и развитие. Чтобы получить дополнительную информацию, посетите веб-сайт www.icann.org.

IGF Vilnius, September 2010: will you be there?
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond Aug. 28, 2010

Aug. 28, 2010

Hello everybody, At today's EURALO monthly conference call, a suggestion was made for a Virtual EURALO General Assembly (Virtual EURALO GA). The suggestion was to book a small meeting room during the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) to be held in Vilnius, Lithuania, on 14-17 September 2010 and to conduct a face to face meeting with all those present, whilst making provisions for remote participation by ALSes which were not going to be present at the IGF. The IGF taking place in Europe is likely to bring quite a few members from ALSes together since we are hoping for a strong representation of civil society groups and organisations. Whilst unfortunately no funding will be possible from ICANN, we are appealing to anyone who's already going to be in Vilnius to join us. So far our confirmed list of participants is: - Adam Peake - Annette Muehlberg - Olivier Crépin-Leblond - Sandra Hoferichter - Sébastien Bachollet - Wolf Ludwig - Wolfgang Kleinwächter - Yrjö Länsipuro In order to get a better idea of numbers, we'd like to know if *you* and *your ALS* will be present in Vilnius? Please be so kind to therefore reply as soon as possible, either to me or to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org Many thanks! Olivier EURALO Secretary

ICANN Press Release on At-Large Board Seat
by ICANN At-Large Staff Aug. 26, 2010

Aug. 26, 2010

Dear All, The attached press release on the At-Large Board Seat is sent to you on behalf of Cheryl Langdon-Orr, Chair of the Board Candidate Evaluation Committee. Applicants Sought from Internet User Community for Seat on Board of Directors The ICANN group representing individual Internet users is calling for applications from those who may be interested in helping to develop policy while serving on the organization’s Board of Directors. ICANN’s At-Large community (representing individual Internet users) is undertaking a global search to fill a Board seat reserved for an Internet user who does not represent a particular government, corporate or non-profit entity. “This is all about providing a voice for the average everyday Internet user in the global non-profit organization charged with coordinating the Internet addressing system,” said Cheryl Langdon-Orr, the Chair of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC). “ICANN wants to hear from all segments of the Internet community, including the individuals who often simply feel they don’t have a voice in policy formation.” ALAC is looking for someone with a broad international perspective and a background in Internet users’ interests, consumer policy and/or civil society worldwide. The At-Large Board member would have a voice in the numerous ICANN issues which help define the organization, such as: • The expansion of generic top-level domains (gTLDs) – that portion of a web address name at the end of an address name (i.e., .com, .org, .asia, etc.). ICANN is considering how best to expand the current list of 21 to include a vast variety of names and words. • Guidance on the implementation of Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), which allows for the introduction of Internet address names formed from non-Latin based languages, where scripts such as Chinese, Korean or Arabic will be used in the last portion of an address name. • The transition from IPv4 to IPv6. This change in Internet Protocols will vastly expand the available number of global Internet addresses, since the current IPv4 addresses are quickly diminishing. “The Internet is defined by its unique ability to give everyone a voice,” said Langdon-Orr. “This is an opportunity to extend that concept of inclusion to ICANN’s top level.” Interested parties can obtain more information by writing ICANN’s Board Candidate Evaluation Committee at BCEC-Request(a)icann.org. The deadline to apply for the At-Large Board seat is September 6, 2010. ### To read more about the ICANN’s At-Large Community’s search for a Board member and the process for application, go here: https://st.icann.org/working-groups/index.cgi?at_large_director_candidate_2… To read more about ICANN’s At-Large Community go here: http://www.atlarge.icann.org/en/whatis.htm CONTACTS: Brad White – Director of Global Media Affairs Washington, DC USA Ph: +1 202.570.7118 brad.white(a)icann.org Michele Jourdan – Media & Marketing Coordinator Los Angeles, CA USA Ph. +1 310.301.5831 michele.jourdan(a)icann.org Heidi Ullrich – Director for At-Large Los Angeles, CA USA Ph: +1 310.578.8647 Heidi.ullrich(a)icann.org ICANN’s mission is to ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have one global Internet. ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet’s unique identifiers. ICANN doesn’t control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam and it doesn’t deal with access to the Internet. But through its coordination role of the Internet’s naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet.

Questions regarding nomination and board positions
by Manuel Schneider Aug. 26, 2010

Aug. 26, 2010

Dear all, dear staff, thanks for the ICANN usb stick with documents. It was very interesting to look through them. I'd like to take this opportunity as a newbie to ask some questions to which I didn't find answers yet in the ongoing discussions on the mailinglist as well as in the documents I got. To introduce our ALS and myself, I am contact person for the newly recognized ALS Wikimedia CH, one of the national chapters of the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organisation behind the Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia, Wikinews, Wikibooks, Wiktionary etc. Myself is a studied IT engineer with an interest in free and open source software and corresponding social movements. As I am running a serverhosting business since eleven years I had to deal with ICANN's topics before, while I was never involved in ICANN before we decided to become an ALS with Wikimedia CH. Within Wikimedia I am working with Wikimedia Deutschland (as I am german) and am a founding member of Wikimedia CH (as I live on the boarder to Switzerland). Beside technical interest (hosting Wikimedia platforms for chapters in Switzerland, Austria and Israel) my main interest is the multicultural aspect of Wikimedia and running global projects be it organising conferences, spreading Wikimedia content in the global south or developing the Wikimedia organisation. As a newbie to ICANN I am still interested and curious in the mechanics, roles and goals of the different ALSes and holder of the various ICANN positions. So I am trying to follow the ongoing discussions, which is not very easy. These questions refer to both upcoming elections in the EURALO and ICANN board. * what are criteria to be nominated or elected into one of these board positions? Can someone point me to a document where they are described? * what kind of persons are supposed to be nominated / elected into these board positions? Are you looking for experienced ICANN / ALAC members or persons rooted in the community, defending interests of the users, like a counterweight to the commercial background of other board members? * how is a board mandate handled? Is this a political mandate which requires the feedback to and from the community or is it a personal position where board members represent themselves and are only accountable to their own conviction? * how are the selected candidates validated? How are nomination - self-nominations and such by other members - handled? Is there any difference, is there any consideration of RALO recommendations? What I wonder is how I as a newbie can choose a trustworthy candidate who represents my ALS and our community to which we feel accountable to. Maybe the answers to the questions above will shed more light on this process. 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

ICANN Board Nomination
by Annette Muehlberg Aug. 22, 2010

Aug. 22, 2010

Dear all, This is a very special moment: For many years we have been working on setting up structures to get Internet users involved in ICANN’s policy and decision making processes. After implementing RALOs in each region of the world we finally managed to (re)build a structure to have an Internet user representative on the ICANN Board with voting rights. This is a very important and responsible position. Herewith, I nominate Avri Doria to represent Internet users on the ICANN Board. She is extremely qualified to serve the interests of users on the ICANN Board. Here, I include just some of Avri's qualifications. She - worked more than 20 years in the technical side of industry. She has technical know-how and understanding of the relation between technology and policy - is dedicated and passionate about Internet users' issues and is deeply rooted in civil society. She participated in the WSIS, was a member of the Working Group on Internet Governance, member of the IGF secretariat, was coordinator of the Internet Governance Caucus - knows ICANN by heart and is well-respected in the ICANN community. She served for several years as chair of the GNSO Council and community working groups (she was elected chair by the GNSO Council after being appointed to Council by the Nominating Committee). She understands both global situation and ICANN's roles and responsibilities - communicates clearly, whether by electronic or in-person communications, she can speak effectively to a variety of audiences - is persistent in advocating Internet user’s interests and relevant policies and is keen to work with the Internet users, RALOs and ALAC on ICANN policies - asks for Parity for GAC and ALAC. She wants to see ALAC advice treated in the bylaws with as much respect and response as GAC advice - stands for a culture of transparency which she wants to become the norm in ICANN. She worked with ALAC to produce the joint ALAC-NCSG letter to Board on public posting of Staff memos sent to the Board - argued against the program to pre-announce the names people planned to apply for; argued for and is co-charing the committee to find ways to assist new gTLD applicants who may not have the financial capabilities of ICANN insiders - cares about all Internet users (and potential Internet users). As a long-time developer, she works on systems for people in remote communities and takes figuring out the users' requirements as a serious activity that must involve those users - cares about capacity building. She teaches Internet Governance around the world, focusing on technical issues as well as on freedom of expression and privacy. She is a member of the core faculty of the Summer Schools on Internet Governance (ISSIG) - is member of ISOC and does a great deal of work on technical participation at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) - cares about work on closing the global divide. Co-chairs with ALAC the WG to support new gTLD applicants with funding and other assistance - has multi-lingual capacity and cultural understanding. She is well grounded in many languages, lived and worked for several years in many different countries around the world Avri is a technical person who understands policy and cares about the user perspective – and she is a nice person, really cool to work with.
