Call for At-Large Project Submissions to include in ICANN's Fiscal Year 2013 Operational Plan and Budget
by ICANN At-Large Staff Jan. 7, 2012

Jan. 7, 2012

Dear All, ICANN is developing an Operational Plan and Budget for Fiscal Year 2013 to accomplish the goals and priorities of ICANN's Strategic Plan for 2012-2015 (draft version at http://www.icann.org/en/strategic-plan/draft-strategic-plan-2012-2015-clean- 03oct11-en.pdf ). In preparation for this, ICANN's Finance Team has asked the ALAC to submit project requests to be budgeted in ICANN's Draft Operational Plan and Budget for Fiscal Year 2013 by 20 January 2012, giving consideration to the number of requests and to the priority of the requests. In turn, ALAC's Finance and Budget Sub-Committee (FBSC; https://community.icann.org/x/n4XT ) has requested that RALOs submit their FY13 project requests for consideration by the committee by 10 January 2012. The Sub-committee would appreciate that each RALO indicate its top three projects, should more than three be submitted. As requested by ICANN's Finance Team, all FY13 project suggestions must use a template which can be found on the At-Large Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Development Workspace at https://community.icann.org/x/yofbAQ . The form asks RALOs to describe in detail the actual scope of the activity being proposed, how it relates to the current Strategic Plan, and how the funds are to be implemented. RALOs may wish to review last year's ALAC's FY12 Budget proposals at https://community.icann.org/x/IASB. ALAC's FBSC will be reviewing the RALO submissions in an attempt to prioritize requests for submission to ICANN Finance in time by 20 January 2012. It is important to note that ONLY projects showing positive impact to ICANN's Strategic Plan 2012-2015 or to ICANN Policy Development will likely be approved. Also, please note that all project submissions sent by the ALAC will be included in ICANN's 2013 Draft Operational Plan and Budget and published for public comment. FY13 Budget requests may be either posted directly on the At-Large Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Development Workspace or sent to At-Large staff at: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org Kind regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Matt Ashtiani, Gisella Gruber, and Nathalie Peregrine ICANN At-Large Staff E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org

In the lead editorial in Monday's paper, entitled "What's the .rush?" the influential journal takes issue with plans to open out the top level of the Internet and aims a series of punches at ICANN itself, claiming it is unaccountable, non-responsive and may undermine its own legitimacy by driving ahead with plans to open up applications on 12 January.

Yes, good point. So may I ask staff, prior to sending this communication out to the old RAA-WG list (and by the way, we have informal expressions of interest for this group already from Evan Leibovitch, Avri Doria, Garth Bruen, Cintra Sookanan and Randy Glass, who should be added to the list), to change the text thusly: >> subject line: >> >> Renewing Interest in a Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) working group >> >> Text: >> >> You're receiving this note because of an expression of interest, or because >> of previous membership in the Registrar Accreditation Agreement working >> group convened by the Generic Names Supporting Organization. >> >> In conjunction with the need for at-large to submit its comments on amendments to the agreement, we would like to ask >> you to join a new group, this time convened by the at-large community. >> Membership is open to anyone, but the group's intent will be to determine >> and represent the interests of Internet users, not contracted parties. >> Discussion will be free and open and not limited or prescribed. More details on the public comment period for RAA amendments (the at-large's draft comments are currently being worked on by Carlton Samuels, Alan Greenberg, Holly Raiche and me, if you would like to help), can be found here: http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/raa-amendments-prelim-issue-report-1… >> >> If you're interested, send a reply to XXXXX.icann.org and we will send you >> information about what's going on with the RAA, when the meetings will be, >> and other things you will want to know.

draft/reviving the RAA working group
by Beau Brendler Jan. 4, 2012

Jan. 4, 2012

Dear staff, I'd like to ask for your help in reviving the RAA-WG list, which we have been meaning to do for a while now. Can we do it with a minimum of language, to get the thing restarted, and then provide logistical details and whatnot on the second or third mailing. We should send it to the old RAA-WG mailing list. I would suggest the subject line: Renewing Interest in a Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) working group Text: You're receiving this note because of an expression of interest, or because of previous membership in the Registrar Accreditation Agreement working group convened by the Generic Names Services Organization. Because of some important activity regarding the RAA, we would like to ask you to join a new group, this time convened by the at-large community. Membership is open to anyone, but the group's intent will be to determine and represent the interests of Internet users, not contracted parties. Discussion will be free and open and not limited or prescribed. If you're interested, send a reply to XXXXX.icann.org and we will send you information about what's going on with the RAA, when the meetings will be, and other things you will want to know. The first meeting will be by teleconference in late January, at a date and time to come, with the intent to develop an in-person discussion agenda for the forthcoming Costa Rica meeting. Thanks and Regards, Beau Brendler, working group chair Chair, NARALO
