Re: [EURO-Discuss] [ALAC-Internal] Notice of Opening for Board Liaison Nominations Period
by Wolf Ludwig June 5, 2008

June 5, 2008

Dear all, we received a call from the ALAC Chair recently on the Opening for Board Liaison Nominations Period for the position of the At-Large Liaison to the ICANN Board of Directors. This position is currently held by Wendy Seltzer, a law professor from the US who I had the pleasure to meet in February in New Delhi. For more details about Wendy and her background see http://wendy.seltzer.org/. Wendy was nominated now again by several members of the At-Large community. I would have preferred to discuss this issue at our meetings in Paris but the Nominations will close at 1800 UTC 16th June, 2008, and must be sent to the Public ALAC list – that means in about ten days and before our Paris reunions. If there are no other ideas from the EURALO community, I would like to support Wendy’s nomination but I prefer to do this with prior consultations of our Board members and the list. Please let me know your opinions on this issue within the next eight days whether we can express such a support in the name of EURALO. Thanks and regards, Wolf Cheryl Langdon-Orr wrote Mon, 2 Jun 2008 22:14: >Notice to: At-Large, ALS, RALO and ALAC Members. > >As required by Rule 9 of the Rules of Procedure of the At-Large Advisory >Committee, I hereby (at 1200 UTC on June 2nd 2008), open the nominations for >the position of the At-Large Liaison to the ICANN Board of Directors.

Fast Flux Hosting 5 June 1300 UTC
by At-Large Staff May 30, 2008

May 30, 2008

Veuillez trouver la version française de ce message suivant plus bas Por favor véase el mensaje en español abajo Dear all, You are invited to join Dave Piscitello¹s Briefing Session on Fast Flux Hosting which will take place on 5 June at 1300 UTC. Please find the meeting page with participation instructions and documents below. https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?fast_flux_hosting French and Spanish interpretation is tentatively scheduled for this meeting. However, there is currently only one French and no Spanish speaking person who expressed interest in the Briefing session. As you can imagine, it takes a considerable amount of resources to organize a multilingual presentation and it is only worth doing if there is a real interest from the non-English speaking language communities for these events. If you would like to participate in the French or Spanish channel for this meeting, please write an email to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org. What is Fast Flux? "Fast flux" is an evasion technique that cyber-criminals and Internet miscreants use to evade identification and to frustrate law enforcement and anticrime efforts aimed at locating and shutting down web sites used for illegal purposes. Fast flux hosting supports a wide variety of cyber-crime activities (fraud, identity theft, online scams) and is considered one of the most serious threats to online activities today. One variant of fast flux hosting, "double flux", exploits the domain name registration and name resolution services. Cher(e)s membres, Vous êtes invité, par le biais d¹une téléconférence, à participer à une session d'information sur ³l'Accueil Rapide de Flux² (ou ³Fast Flux Hosting²) de Monsieur Dave Piscitello de la division Sécurité et Stabilité du Comité Consultatif (SSAC) d'ICANN, qui aura lieu le 5 juin à 13.00 UTC. Veuillez s¹il vous plait trouver ci-dessous la page de cette réunion avec les instructions de participation et les informations supplémentaires pour cette réunion. https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?fast_flux_hosting L'interprétation en français et en espagnole est programmée pour cette réunion. Cependant, il y a actuellement seulement une seule francophone et aucune personne hispanophones qui a montré un intérêt pour cette session d'information. Comme vous pouvez imaginer, il requiert une quantité considérable de ressources afin d¹organiser une présentation multilingues et il est seulement intéressant de le faire, si et seulement si, il y a un vrai intérêt des communautés non anglophones pour ces événements. Si vous voulez participer à cette conférence sur le canal français, envoyez s¹il vous plaît un email à staff(a)atlarge.icann.org Qu¹est-ce que l'Accueil Rapide de Flux? "L'Accueil Rapide de Flux" est une technique d'évasion que les cyber-criminels et les mécréants d'Internet emploient pour esquiver l'identification et pour frustrer le renforcement des lois et les efforts anticriminelles afin de non seulement localiser, mais aussi d¹arrêter les sites Internet utilisés à des buts illégaux. L'Accueil Rapide de Flux soutient une large variété d'activités cyber-criminelle (fraude, vol d'identité, escroqueries en ligne) et est considéré comme une des plus graves menaces des activités en ligne d¹aujourd'hui. Une variante de l'Accueil Rapide de Flux, les ³doubles flux" exploite l'enregistrement des Noms de Domaine et des Services de Résolution des Noms. Estimados miembros de At-Large, Les invitamos para la sesión de David Piscitello sobre el Fast Flux Hosting que será el 5 de Junio a las 1300 UTC. Véase la página web de este reunión telefónica para ver las instrucciones de participación. Cargaramos más documentos sobre la reunión en breve. https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?fast_flux_hosting La interpretación en lengua española y francesa es planeada de manera provisoria. Sin embargo, por el momento solo hay una persona de lengua francesa y ningún hispanohablante que ha manifestado su interés por esta presentación. Como se lo puede imaginar, organizar una presentación en varias idiomas necesita muchas recursos y solo valga la pena si existe interés suficiente da la comunidad no anglófona. En caso de que quiere participar en este reunión en el canal español o francés, escriba un email a staff(a)atlarge.icann.org por favor. Que es el Fast Flux Hosting? El Fast Flux es un método de evasión usada por criminales de Internet para evadir su identificación y así frustrar la lucha anticriminal de los autoridades que intentan localizar y cerrar los sitios Webs usados para fines ilegales. El Fast Flux Hosting es usado en varias actividades del ciber-crimen organizado tales como el fraude, el robo o suplantación de identidad y el engaño on-line y representa hoy en día una de las más serias amenazas para la actividad on-line de hoy. Otra variante del Fast Flux Hosting es el Double Flux, un método que se aprovecha de los servicios de registro de dominios.

Lo interpretará simultaneamente en lengua española y francesa así como una grabación de audio. Planeamos tener una serie de presentaciones sobre temas actuales de Internet que luego estarán disponibles en un archivo de formación online. Que es el Fast Flux Hosting? El Fast Flux es un método de evasión usada por criminales de Internet para evadir su identificación y así frustrar la lucha anticriminal de los autoridades que intentan localizar y cerrar los sitios Webs usados para fines ilegales. El Fast Flux Hosting es usado en varias actividades del ciber-crimen organizado tales como el fraude, el robo o suplantación de identidad y el engaño on-line y representa hoy en día una de las más serias amenazas para la actividad on-line de hoy. Otra variante del Fast Flux Hosting es el Double Flux, un método que se aprovecha de los servicios de registro de dominios. Para obtener más información sobre este tema, las siguientes publicaciones pueden ser útiles. Serán traducidas en español y francés en breve. * SSAC Advisory on Fast Flux Hosting and DNS ( http://www.icann.org/committees/security/sac025.pdf * GNSO Issues Report on Fast Flux Hosting ( http://gnso.icann.org/issues/fast-flux-hosting/gnso-issues-report-fast-flux…) * PDP approval motion of the GNSO (véase Motion 20080508-3 en http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/) Si le interesa esta presentación, siga por favor el vínculo abajo para que sepamos los datos que más le convengan.

Global Survey on Multilingualism in ICANN's Work Now Online 20 May 2008 ICANN today enabled an online survey, available in 11 languages including English, to facilitate understanding of the way in which the community uses existing materials prepared in multiple languages. It will also help ICANN understand how it could enhance multilingual access to the work of the organisation. This survey is also a key input into the public consultation process for the ICANN draft Translation Programme. The mission of the programme is to provide those who are not fluent English speakers with an equal level of access to influence and participate in the work of ICANN as those who are fluent in English. You may find more information about the Translation Programme at: http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-13feb08.htm The online survey is accessible at the following URL: https://www.bigpulse.com/m1649/intro The results of the survey are be available in real-time at the following URL: https://www.bigpulse.com/pollresults?code=W27JWywPJkfgK5pmusGA Note that the results available at the URL above only present the non-narrative answers of the survey. It is not presently possible to show summarized statistical results and at the same time include individual narrative responses in a way that is meaningful. The text answers will be compiled into the report prepared at the completion of the survey. The survey will remain open until 20 June 2008. -- Encuesta global sobre el multilingüismo en Trabajar ya en línea de ICANN 20 Mayo 2008 ICANN puso hoy a su disposición una encuesta en línea, disponible en 11 idiomas entre los que se incluye el inglés, con el fin de ayudar a comprender la forma en la que la comunidad utiliza los materiales existentes preparados en varios idiomas.

Draft FY2008/2009 Budget and Operating Plan draft posted for public comment
by Nick Ashton-Hart May 19, 2008

May 19, 2008

http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-17may08.htm ICANN Posts Draft FY09 Operating Plan and Budget 17 May 2008 Each year, from July through December, ICANN's planning cycle calls for creation of the Strategic Plan. At the end of December 2007, the ICANN Board approved ICANN's Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan is the three-year overview document that describes the strategic priorities for ICANN. See: http://www.icann.org/strategic-plan/. Each year, from January through June, there is a follow-on planning effort to create the Operating Plan and Budget for a single year. This document outlines the work map and financial requirements for the next fiscal year, consistent with implementing the Strategic Plan Objectives. The planning work for fiscal year 2009 began with a consultation in Delhi. The community and ICANN's Board reviewed an initial budget framework presented at New Delhi in February 2008. This approach provided the community the earliest opportunity yet to provide input on a draft budget. Staff held consultations regarding the budget and plan, received posted comments, and worked with the ICANN Board Finance Committee to develop the draft FY09 Operating Plan and Budget. Substantial work has taken place to incorporate feedback from the community, Board, and staff since the initial framework was first presented in February 2008, but the overall scope and themes remain consistent. In this fiscal year, highlights of planned ICANN results and activities include: Complete, and then launch the new generic TLD (gTLD) program. Based on progress with the IDN "fast track" process, introduce country code IDNs (ccIDN) at the top level. As part of establishing a documented security agenda, deliver on DNSSEC readiness, ICANN-internal security improvements, and training on disaster planning and mitigation for interested country code operators Working with RIRs and the NRO, continue to highlight issues related to IPv4 depletion and IPv6 adoption Grow and enhance contractual compliance capability on behalf of registrant protection Invest in IANA services and staffing to improve service availability, automation, response time, and disaster recovery. Strengthen the multi-stakeholder model by implementing GNSO improvements, expanding stakeholder travel support and expanding translation programs. In summary, the draft budget proposes revenues of about $60.7MM and total expenses (including depreciation, allowances and contingency) of $58.5MM with a contribution to reserve of about $2.2MM. Compared to what was presented in New Delhi, this actually represents a reduction in operating expenses from $54.1MM to $51.8MM. As compared to FY08, the total expense budget, including contingency, is projected to increase from $42.6MM to $58.5MM (37% increase). Operating expenses (excluding contingency, depreciation, and bad debt) are projected to increase from $38.9MM to $51.8MM (33% increase). This draft Operating Plan and Budget calls for substantial expense growth for ICANN, as a result of an ambitious work program for FY09, as dictated by the Strategic Plan. The goal of this draft FY09 Operating Plan and Budget document is to enable informed, active community and Board feedback regarding proposed objectives and plans. And, when the draft plan is finalized and approved, establish the resources and objectives that will deliver on the right initiatives for the ICANN community during FY09. This draft FY09 Operating Plan and Budget is being posted for community review with the support of the Board Finance Committee (BFC). The plan is available at: http://www.icann.org/financials/proposed-opplan-budget-fy08-09-17may07.pdf [PDF, 356K] This draft plan is one more step in the planning cycle, to allow for additional review and feedback. A public comment forum is available at: op-budget-fy2009(a)icann.org Additionally, consultations will be held with ICANN constituencies to get direct feedback, and the final plan discussed at ICANN's Paris meeting, for adoption by ICANN's Board in June. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director for At-Large Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Main Tel: +33 (450) 40 46 88 USA DD: +1 (310) 301-8637 Fax: +41 (22) 594-85-44 Mobile: +41 (79) 595 54-68 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
