Music Night in Los Angeles
by Roberto Gaetano Aug. 22, 2014

Aug. 22, 2014

Folks, I take the opportunity in this slow mid-August weekend, when the mailing list is almost idle, to talk about a more frivolous subject: music night in LA. Following the good feedback we had for the music session at the Summit in London, some of us were thinking of having a similar event as part of the music night in LA. However, it would be nice to extend participation to any musician, and try to get a bit more organized - for instance, decide the tunes at least 10 minutes before the show J Personally, I would like to make this a multi-stakeholder event - the band will be called the GEMS (Global Equal Multi-Stakeholders) and I hope to have this call for EoI (Expression of Interest) by musicians in most stakeholders list. I am starting from ALAC, also with the request to circulate this in the regional lists (I have only access to EURALO, in copy). If any musician wants to volunteer, please let me know by email at your earliest convenience. Cheers, Roberto

Off-topic, but not so much
by Roberto Gaetano Aug. 16, 2014

Aug. 16, 2014

I will attend the ICANN Studienkreis in Sofia at the end of this month (http://www.icann-studienkreis.net/) After that, I am planning to travel in Albania and the southern countries of the former Yugoslavia. I will be somewhat constrained in time, but if there will be the opportunity to meet with the local Internet communities, I would love to do it. To the best of my knowledge, there's no ALS over there (please correct me if I am wrong) but I would appreciate if someone has contacts. Cheers, Roberto

by Wolf Ludwig Aug. 14, 2014

Aug. 14, 2014

Hello, first of all, I hope you spent some nice and relaxing summer holidays after we met end of June in London. Meanwhile, some of us (Plamena, Valentina, Olivier, Bill, Avri, Sandra etc.) have attended the European Summer School on Internet Governance (EuroSSIG) in Meissen, Germany, what proofed to be an interesting and rewarding week again. This year, there was some more media attention than before (in Germany at least) and an excellent interview with Olivier on Heise Online (unfortunately in German only) about Neue Top-Level-Domains: "Auktionen sind definitiv nicht das richtige Mittel" (Auctions are definately not the right way) -- see: http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Neue-Top-Level-Domains-Auktionen-sind-defini… Please note, we will have our next regular monthly call on Tuesday evening next week. Hope to hear you.
