STARTING in 15 mins / REGISTER: APRALO Policy Forum Webinar: “Participating in ICANN Public Comment Proceedings” on Thursday, 22 January 2026 at 06:00 UTC
by ICANN At-Large Staff Jan. 22, 2026

Jan. 22, 2026

[cid:image001.png@01DC8B7B.5C64F230] Dear All, APRALO Policy Forum Webinar: “Participating in ICANN Public Comment Proceedings” is scheduled on Thursday, 22 January 2026 at 06:00 UTC for 60 minutes. The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) participates in ICANN policy-making – including on governance issues – predominantly by engaging At-Large community members in a consensus-building process to establish positions addressing individual end-user interests that need to be communicated by the ALAC. The ALAC’s participation in ICANN policy-making is not limited to, but typically happens through submitting, to a Public Comment Proceeding, an ALAC Statement that is developed through a bottom-up process. You are invited to participate in the APRALO Policy Forum webinar with Justine Chew on Thursday, 22 January 2026 at 06:00 UTC for 60 minutes, to gain an understanding of the approach for considering the need for an ALAC statement and the delivery of such statements where a need has been established. This webinar will build on the ‘Informed Consensus<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/SQB6JQ>’ concept discussed during the At-Large Briefings on Informed Consensus: An Approach to At-Large Position Development conducted in early December 2025.

Re: [CPWG] **REMINDER** Meeting invitation: At-Large Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG) Call on. Wednesday, 21 January 2026 at 19:00 UTC
by Roberto Gaetano Jan. 21, 2026

Jan. 21, 2026

Dear all, Normally I send my apologies to At-Large Staff only, but I take the opportunity to inform you about an ICANN activity in Vienna that prevents me to join the call later today. ICANN has organised in collaboration with CEU - the Central European University, “One of the Most International Universities in Europe”, see https://www.ceu.edu/ - two sessions involving ICANN stakeholders in Vienna. The first one will be a meeting with CEU students, to explain what is ICANN and why it is important, the second one a round table with stakeholders to strengthen the links in the local communities. At the end of the day, there will be a networking social event. For more information, please see the announcement by ICANN and by CEU. I plan to provide a report in the next EURALO Newsletter.

All candidates deemed suitable for the slate successfully completed the ICANN Due Diligence Process. The candidates, listed in alphabetical order by surname: * Sébastien Bachollet * Justine Chew * Maureen Hilyard * Rafael (Lito) Ibarra Candidate Expressions of Interest can be found at https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ABMS/pages/760020998/2025….

A note of thanks to the BCEC for their significant efforts in selecting the At-Large slate of Seat 15 candidates.
