Dear all, as you have noticed from the reminder below, we ask that all candidates from our community copy At-Large Staff in their application. This is asked in order for the application to be stored on an At-Large WIKI space for the ALAC to review. Staff will create this WIKI space shortly. After the closing of the application process (Hurry! This is only in a few days' time), the Board will consult the ALAC in order to receive endorsement on candidates. The ALAC will send its preferences. The process by which this short-list will be established will be discussed on the ALAC call in a few hours. Kind regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond ALAC Chair On 26/02/2013 00:49, ICANN At-Large Staff wrote:
Dear All,
As announced <http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-11feb13-en.htm> on 11 February, ICANN has committed to identifying ICANN Meeting locations two years in advance. After consideration that adoption of a prior Consolidated Meetings Strategy proposal was not timely, the Public Participation Committee (PPC) initiated work to create a working group to address the meeting location strategy which was presented to the ICANN Board for approval in February 2013.
In line with the Board resolution <http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-02feb13-en.htm#2....> adopted on February the 2nd 2013, ICANN is creating a new Meeting Strategy Working Group <http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/participation/mswg> (MSWG) and now invites interested individuals to apply for Volunteer Member positions -- in representation of a Supporting Organization or Advisory Committee -- to serve on the Meeting Strategy Working Group.
The mandate and Mission of Meeting Strategy Working Group as defined in the MSWG Charter is as follows: to discuss and propose strategy for the structure, purpose and locations for ICANN Public Meetings and conferences, starting in 2015.
*Deadline*
