Application 103 - CLUSIT (Italy)
by Nick Ashton-Hart Dec. 8, 2007

Dec. 8, 2007

Dear EURALO Members: I'm pleased to be able to provide complete details related to the application of CLUSIT (Italy) to be an At-Large Structure. Note that this application has been pending for longer than normal due to the need for the staff to ask for and receive additional information from CLUSIT about their organisation, and for the Statutes to be translated from Italian into English. The result of these additional queries, and reading the Statutes, is that it seems to the Staff that this applicant meets all requirements for ALS status. Full information is provided on the due dilligence form attached. As per the process of ALS application analysis agreed by the ALAC, the region is now asked for their views on whether or not the application should be approved. You may provide your views in confidence to the Secretariat (Wolf and Jeanette) or of course I am at your service if I can be of any assistance in this regard. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN Main Tel: +33 (450) 40 46 88 USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 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

Dear all, six months have passed since we completed our setup procedure, and basically nothing happened since then. Should we just disband the EURALO, or better could we start doing something? Thanks, -- vb. Vittorio Bertola - vb [a] bertola.eu <-------- --------> finally with a new website at http://bertola.eu/ <--------

Meeting Recordings from LA Meeting
by Nick Ashton-Hart Nov. 8, 2007

Nov. 8, 2007

Dear Community: I've just posted the meeting recordings for several At-Large meetings during the LA ICANN Meeting. The transcriptions have been requested and will be posted once they are available; the summary minutes are in the final stages of preparation before they are also posted. With the exception of the RAA Workshop, they are available in three languages: English, Spanish, and French. Note that I have not checked them all, but in some cases it appears that the sound recordist didn't change the channel when participants were speaking in French and Spanish, so the recording is of those languages rather than the English interpretation of them. The transcriptions should correct for this - my apologies for this; I will reinforce to the meetings staff for the New Delhi meeting the importance of capturing a faithful recording of each language.

For those who were not present, his powerpoint presentation was certainly the most unusual of any at the LA meeting, with a very "Halloween" flavour - do have a look at it (Thanks once more Danny for such a great workshop). -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN Main Tel: +33 (450) 40 46 88 USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 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

Public Comment period opens: Bylaw Change Requested by the ALAC Related to ALS Application Handling
by Nick Ashton-Hart Nov. 7, 2007

Nov. 7, 2007

Public Comments Requested on Bylaw Change Proposed by the At-Large Advisory Committee 7 November 2007 The Board of Directors resolved on 2nd November 2007 to request public comments on a change to the Bylaws of ICANN requested by the At-Large Advisory Committee, related to the administration of applications from organizations that wish to join the At-Large community of Internet end- users participating in ICANN. The change would amend the wording of Article IX, S2(4)(i) so that it would read as follows: Membership in the At-Large Community The criteria and standards for the certification of At-Large Structures within each Geographic Region shall be established by the Board based on recommendations from the ALAC and shall be stated in the Memorandum of Understanding between ICANN and the RALO for each Geographic Region. The criteria and standards for the certification of At-Large Structures shall be established in such a way that participation by individual Internet users who are citizens or residents of countries within the Geographic Region (as defined in Section 5 of Article VI) of the RALO will predominate in the operation of each At-Large Structure within the RALO, while not necessarily excluding additional participation, compatible with the interests of the individual Internet users within the region, by others. Each RALO's Memorandum of Understanding shall also include provisions designed to allow, to the greatest extent possible, every individual Internet user who is a citizen of a country within the RALO's Geographic Region to participate in at least one of the RALO's At- Large Structures. To the extent compatible with these objectives, the criteria and standards should also afford to each RALO the type of structure that best fits the customs and character of its Geographic Region. Once the criteria and standards have been established as provided in this Clause i, the ALAC, with the advice and participation of the RALO where the applicant is based, shall be responsible for certifying organizations as meeting the criteria and standards for At-Large Structure accreditation. Decisions to certify or decertify an At-Large Structure shall be made as decided by the ALAC in its Rules of Procedure, save always that any changes made to the Rules of Procedure in respect of ALS applications shall be subject to review by the RALOs and by the ICANN Board. Decisions as to whether to accredit, not to accredit, or disaccredit an At-Large Structure shall be subject to review according to procedures established by the Board. On an ongoing basis, the ALAC may also give advice as to whether a prospective At-Large Structure meets the applicable criteria and standards. This amendment is part of a series of other changes that do not impact the Bylaws of ICANN, which were resolved upon by the ALAC in their meeting on 10th August 2007. The complete package of changes can be found here. ICANN have determined that a 30-day public comment period on the proposed Bylaw change is appropriate. Those wishing to comment are suggested to make their comments not later than 2 nd December 2007 at 12:00 EST. Comments are therefore encouraged; they may be sent by email to alac-bylaw-comments(a)icann.org , and reviewed at http://forum.icann.org/lists/alac-bylaw-comments. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN Main Tel: +33 (450) 40 46 88 USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 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
