DOODLE / R3 WEBINAR: "Making ICANN Relevant, Responsive and Respected"
by At-Large Staff Dec. 18, 2012

Dec. 18, 2012

Dear All, The Internet faces serious challenges, which will become even more momentous in the coming years. In order to meet these challenges in a meaningful way, ICANN, as the custodian of the domain name system, will need to improve its accountability and efficiency. The ALAC (At-Large Advisory Committee) of ICANN has published a White Paper entitled "Making ICANN Relevant, Responsive and Respected <http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/at-large-r3-white-paper-20nov12 -en.htm> " (R3), drafted by the ALAC's Future Challenges Working Group (FCWG). The ALAC is organizing a webinar to expand the exchange of views beyond the initial ALAC circle, in time for ICANN-46 in Beijing where it will be discussed, and suggestions will be made on the way forward. The discussion will be moderated by Evan Leibovitch and Jean-Jacques Subrenat, co-chairs of the FCWG. Please complete the attached Doodle poll to find a suitable time on Wednesday, 19 December 2012: http://doodle.com/w5v97bsk47fd3bra If you require interpretation for this call, please note the language next to your name on the Doodle poll - example: ³name² + (ES) or (FR). Interpretation will only be provided if there is sufficient demand (3 or more requests). This Doodle poll will close on Monday, 17 December 2012 at 1200 UTC - the time will be announced shortly thereafter. Thank you. Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Matt Ashtiani, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie Peregrine and Julia Charvolen ICANN Policy Staff in support of ALAC E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org One World, One Internet

US decision
by Glenn McKnight Dec. 6, 2012

Dec. 6, 2012

"In a rare showing of bipartisanship, the House unanimously passed a resolution to ban UN regulation of the internet at the hands of the ITU (International Telecommunication Union). It states<http://thehill.com/images/stories/blogs/flooraction/jan2012/sconres50.pdf> that the US would "continue working to implement the position of the United States on internet governance that clearly articulates the consistent and unequivocal policy of the United States to promote a global internet free from government control." ----SNIP---- "The 1988 treaty does indeed need an update, but US and Canada along with several EU nations<http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/30/eu-stands-firm-with-the-us-to-oppose-int…> have expressed a strong desire to limit any new policies from impacting how the web is run. Their efforts have so far been for naught, but Congress is hoping that such a unified stance from the US will help sway the votes that are due to happen later this week in Dubai." http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/05/house-passes-unanimous-resolution-ban-UN… -- Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight Http://www.globalcatalysts.com http://newsocialmedia.wordpress.com
