At-Large Director Selection Process / ABSdt & ABSC nominations from EURALO
by Wolf Ludwig Feb. 5, 2010

Feb. 5, 2010

Dear all, as you may have seen from the last mails from Sébastien, time is pressing and we need to select our EURALO reps. for the two Board selection groups until tomorrow! We are in the fortunate situation to have more candidates than positions – what makes the choice difficult again. Therefore we need to consider the following points and I want to suggest: a) first comes, first serves (candidates who declared their readiness), b) to reflect gender and geographic diversity, as noted by Olivier, and c) participation in both groups need considerable time investments! Suggestion for the ABSdt: Candidates Olivier and Patrick – if he doesn’t confirm Rudi (- what is not gender and geographical balanced). Suggestion for the ABSC: Veronica (who confirmed to Sébastien already) and Adam (- what reflects the aspects and criteria mentioned above). As we need to take a decision immediately now, let me suggest to forward these candidates and names to ALAC if NO OBJECTIONS (together with substantial alternatives!) are raised until tomorrow, Friday 5th February, 18:00 PM. Thanks to all who declared their willingness to serve for this important functions and who may not be considered (but it’s a good sign for EURALO having more declarations of interests than we actually need!). I hope we may find consensus on this selection.

At Large Director: electorate
by Adam Peake Jan. 26, 2010

Jan. 26, 2010

I've been thinking about what I said about the election process, my concerns about the ALS as the electorate. I don't think I was wrong (of course!) but I have come to think it doesn't matter, as a matter of principle the At Large should be the ones voting, as such I fully support a directed vote. As nomcom appointed ALAC member I would be happy to take direction on how to vote, should be for EU-RALO to decide. (I am not sure this would be binding on future nomcom appointees, but perhaps we can write rules that allow for a case by case approach.) Please, can we begin informing the ALS of the process. All should be subscribed to this list. But some direct outreach to individual reps would be good. So the response rate to email about the At Large Director vote is at least 75%. Thanks, Adam

FW: Meeting this evening
by ICANN At-Large Staff Jan. 20, 2010

Jan. 20, 2010

Dear All, Please find below a message from Rudi Vansnick intended for this distribution list. -- Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Gisella Gruber-White, Marilyn Vernon, Kristina Nordström ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff[at]atlarge.icann.org website: www.atlarge.icann.org ------ Forwarded Message From: Rudi Vansnick <rudi.vansnick(a)isoc.be> Reply-To: "rudi.vansnick(a)isoc.be" <rudi.vansnick(a)isoc.be> Date: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 04:04:43 -0800 To: "euralo(a)st.icann.org" <euralo(a)st.icann.org> Cc: ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> Subject: Meeting this evening Dear colleagues, I know, you have not heard a lot from me last 2 months. Been so busy, especially at government level. Some Belgian politicians are somehow willing to take the lead in Europe on some topics. Most often it is our minister of economic affairs Van Quickenborne (indeed he has not stolen his name as we call him Quicky). He decided to launch a project Start2Surf (november 2009) but forgot to integrate a lot of provisions and technical aspects related to accessible and affordable internet connections (do not forget Belgium being one of the most expensive countries). He also launched a new "tax" for intellectual property rights on every electronic equipment able to store data. So for each usb-stick, each flash card, every hard disk we have to pay extra money in order to cover IPR while the money goes into the pockets of management companies and not to the original author. Normal as you know, while buying a flash card I do not specify for what data I will use it, it is impossible to define the author having the rights. And do not forget that this is internet related stuff as the hard disks are bought by hosting companies and as such affects every internet user in Belgium - increasing price of internet usage and storage. On top of this tomorrow a debate on the data retention law is on the table at parliament. ISOC Belgium's task force e-Security produced a work document (some 7 pages long) which will be in discussion at that meeting too. As you see, it is not easy to combine all this together with my business activities (as that's how I can pay my bills and work also for ALAC). However, I'll be on the meeting this evening for a max of 15 to 20 minutes. A short briefing on the status of the ALS-ccTLD bridge project: During the last ccNSO meeting the topic was brought up again by my counterparty Ron Sherwood as the has been no information during the last 2 months on this topic. He stressed out that a decision from the ccNSO was expected soon as the project is in launch-phase at ALAC. It is indeed important to have the collaboration of ccTLDs otherwise it has no sense to go forward. However, as Ron is involved himself in a ccTLD and has good contacts with other ccTLDs, he pronounced the positive reaction of some of his colleagues willing to participate in our project. So, I consider the project is now in a phase of final launch, which means I have to finalize my document on this. I'll put it on my to do list for the next 3 days, so it would be available on the mailinglist and website end of the week. Sorry I've been absent but as we all have our daily duties to complete mine were just a bit to have to deal with. Hopefully our ministers will give us more time for intervention on decisions such as explained above. And of course you're all concerned as you will be in Brussels in June.
