ALS Mobilization Plan
by Alan Greenberg Nov. 3, 2019

Nov. 3, 2019

As many of you know, we are in the midst of implementing the At-Large Review. A key part of this is using our ALS infrastructure to identify new active ICANN policy-oriented volunteers. To do this, we will need much better communications with ALSes and their members. Much work was done by the ALS Criteria and Expectations Taskforce several years ago and the proposals it made were the basis for the At-Large Review proposals. It is now time to finalize and enhance those proposals and have them implemented. You can find the current draft ALS Mobilization Plan at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ex6BjDrJjESxNZSbTYLbKswVsDvpaEvt/edit#h… . We are looking for people with a strong knowledge of ICANN At-Large and ALSes to refine this plan for approval by the ALAC. This will be a relatively short-term project, but it is important to have active participation from all RALOs. If you are interested in working on this, please send a message to At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org>. The first meeting of the group will be convened shortly after ICANN66. Alan

Staff will follow-up sharing the exact details of the vote. Our EURALO Bylaws Task Force has spent more than 3 years debating and drafting them, as the our original, "old" Bylaws were completely out of date and inappropriate. At this point in time, I would like to thank the members of the Task Force on Review and Revision of EURALO Bylaws. Members of the group are listed on https://community.icann.org/x/iAZ1Aw But I would also like to recognise two people in particular who have done significant, tedious work, in this process: Mikhail Medrish, who led the initial work of the group in reviewing the original Bylaws to estimate the level of re-writing needed. The second person, who has held the pen with the new draft and has displayed expertise in being able to accompany the process in a complex environment that had to mix the needs of our community with a format of Swiss Articles - supposedly the simplest in Europe - was Florian Hule. Congratulations! It is thanks to the work of volunteers that EURALO can evolve. The next step will be to also design Operating Rules for EURALO - a formalisation how this Regional At-Large Organisation can operate its processes, from elections, to reporting its activities, to selection of representatives on committees etc. I hope you will be many volunteers to carry this work forward. Warmest regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond EURALO Chair
