Fwd: [Secretariat] REVISED Call for Candidates: RALO Representatives in the ALAC Appointee Selection Committee
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond July 7, 2016

July 7, 2016

Hello all, please see the updated call for candidates, including what would be expected of a candidate to be on the Selection Committee. If you have any experience in reading CVs and assessing individuals and their suitability for a position, and if you are interested in dipping your toes into a process that's limited in time, will not be a heavy workload but at the same time, will be absolutely critical to the way the ALAC and the multi-stakeholder model works, this is for you. Don't hesitate to email me if you are considering the position but are unsure. Of course, if you are going to put your name in for any of the positions which the selection committee will select people for, then do not apply. What is the CSC? The Selection Committee's first task is going to have to select someone from the At-Large Community who will be able to sit on the "Customer Standing Committee" (CSC) which is a group of people who will closely monitor the performance of the organisation providing the IANA services. The bulk of the committee is made up of direct customers of the IANA function and the ALAC representative is a liaison, which means they'll have to relay what is happening in this committee back to the ALAC and also be the voice of the ALAC on this committee. So it's a pretty important position and the selection committee will have its work cut out to find the best candidate. I hope this puts some perspective to the call for candidates to sit on the Selection Committee. Kindest regards, Olivier -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Secretariat] REVISED Call for Candidates: RALO Representatives in the ALAC Appointee Selection Committee Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2016 09:40:36 +0000 From: ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> To: ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org>, secretariat(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org <secretariat(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Dear All, On behalf of Alan Greenberg, Chair of the ALAC, the call for candidates for the RALO representatives in the ALAC Appointee Selection Committee is now open.

Call for Candidates - ALAC Liaison to the CSC
by ICANN At-Large Staff July 4, 2016

July 4, 2016

Dear All, On behalf of Alan Greenberg, Chair of the ALAC, the call for candidates for the ALAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee (CSC) is now open. Interested members from the At-Large community should send their 1) expression of interest and 2) resume, curriculum vitae, or biography, to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> by 23:59 UTC on 14 July 2016. In their expression of interest, candidates should respond to the following: 1. Name 2. Affiliation 3. Geographic region 4. Skill set and experience (please provide additional details to the following): a. Direct experience and knowledge of the IANA naming function b. Analytical skills, ability to interpret quantitative and qualitative evidence, and capacity to draw conclusions purely based on evidence. c. Able to work and communicate in written and spoken English d. Effective communication skills e. Experience in managing and/or participating in committees (e.g. meeting coordination, reporting, and escalation) in order to contribute meaningfully to CSC processes f. Demonstrated ability in relationship management to support diplomatic discussion, consensus driven decision making, and productive negotiation 5. Other skill set or experience relevant to CSC’s work 6. Explanation of interest in becoming involved in the CSC 7. Understanding of the purpose of the CSC 8. Able to meet the time commitment<https://www.icann.org/iana_imp_docs/39-csc-candidates-qualification-require…> required to participate in the CSC 9. As ALAC Liaison to the CSC, what do you believe that your main responsibilities will be, both within the CSC and in relation to the ALAC? Please use the expression of interest template (.docx file attached) to fill out the required information. Candidates' Expression of Interest (EoI) submissions will be reviewed by the ALAC Candidate Selection Committee which will forward its preferred EoIs to the ALAC for final selection and/or ratification. BACKGROUND On 10 March 2016, the ICANN Board transmitted to the U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Agency (NTIA) a package of proposals<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-stewardship-transition-pac…>developed by the international Internet community to transition NTIA’s stewardship of the IANA functions to the global multistakeholder community. One of the things that this package calls for is the creation of a Customer Standing Committee (CSC) to provide operational oversight of the performance of the IANA naming function, a role currently performed by NTIA. The scope and responsibility of the CSC is available here<https://www.icann.org/iana_imp_docs/43-csc-scope-and-responsibilities-v-v2>. The membership composition of the CSC, as specified in the package of proposals, includes one Liaison appointed by the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), who will serve an inaugural three-year term. Liaisons shall not be members or be entitled to vote on the CSC, but otherwise shall be entitled to participate on equal footing with members of the CSC. Participation in the CSC is voluntary. The CSC is expected to perform the majority of its work telephonically and via email. Travel funding will not be provided. PROCESS The ALAC is responsible for appointing a primary and a secondary candidate that meet the qualification requirements in the expression of interest, and are geographically diverse. The ALAC should forward the Liaison candidates to the CSC for consideration no later than 23:59 UTC on 22 July 2016. The Membership Selection Process of the CSC Charter calls for due consideration to be given, to the extent possible, to form a CSC that has diversity in terms of geography and skill set. To that end, the composition of the slate will be reviewed during two points in the selection process: firstly by the RySG and ccNSO and secondly by the ccNSO and GNSO. The ccNSO and GNSO Councils will also make a decision regarding which members and liaisons will serve an inaugural three-year term. The ccNSO and GNSO Councils will notify ICANN and the appointing organizations of the final composition of the CSC. The notification will take place on or around 10 August 2016.

Milestone: The Number of At-Large Structures Reach 200!
by ICANN At-Large Staff June 27, 2016

June 27, 2016

Dear All, Today, on 23 June 2016, we celebrate an exciting milestone in the history of the At-Large Community – the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) has accredited the 200th organization as an At-Large Structure (ALS). From the Arctic to the Cook Islands, ALSes form the basis of the At-Large community, which represents the best interests of Internet users in ICANN’s multistakeholder model. Across the world’s five geographic regions, 92 countries and territories now have ALSes, with 42 ALSes in Africa, 44 in Asia Pacific, 37 in Europe, 50 in Latin America and the Caribbean Islands, and 27 in North America. Since September 2003 when the first ALS, the Internet Society Italy Chapter, was accredited, the At-Large Community has seen a steady increase of ALSes. In the past five years, the At-Large Community has gained approximately 14 ALSes each year. An ALS is a wholly independent organization from ICANN. Whether it is an Internet-related consumer rights groups or an academic organization, ALSes share the passion in furthering the development of Information and Communication Technologies and contributing to policy activities that influence the technical coordination of the Domain Name Systems. In fact, about 33% ALSes are Internet Society Chapters. The ALS accreditation process recognizes that these groups meet ICANN’s criteria for involving individual Internet users at the local or issue level, as well as for promoting individuals’ understanding of and participation in ICANN. Within ICANN, they actively contribute to policy advice development activities and play a key role in ICANN’s regional outreach strategies and civil society engagement. They work to ensure that the Internet continues to serve the global public interest. To learn more about ALSes, please visit: https://atlarge.icann.org/alses.

Dear all, on our last EURALO conference call ( https://community.icann.org/x/KhyOAw ) the action items for the call were recorded on: https://community.icann.org/x/LxyOAw One action item was: > 1. Olivier Crepin-Leblond > <https://community.icann.org/display/%7Eolivier.crepin-leblond>to ask > the ALAC Chair if there is a place in At-Large to discuss the > protection of Geographic names. I have asked the ALAC Chair Alan Greenberg about this. His response was as follows: "Since we are talking about protection with regard to gTLDs (we have no power over ccTLDs), and we cannot readily change the rules for the legacy TLDs, that comes down to the new gTLDs (last round or future ones) and therefore the New gTLD WG is the place I would guess. " So Oksana, (and anyone else interested in the new gTLD process), you might wish to join the At-Large new gTLD working group; more information on: https://community.icann.org/x/8Yoi Kindest regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond EURALO Chair

Teleconference agenda
by Roberto Gaetano June 21, 2016

June 21, 2016

Hi all. I am now in the EURALO Teleconference. The first item on the agenda, after admin matters, is "Review of current policy activities" ended 28 minutes into the 1h call. Even the ICANN Board has identified informational items to be not worth the prime time for meetings. Also, IMHO there is no point in recap the outstanding policy development activities. Those who are involved know them, those who do not care will not even listen to the recap. I suggest that we send a reminder to EURALO highlighting the list of the open policy development, maybe with a short recap of the open issues, and use the time only for Q&A. Cheers, R.
