Maybe include an orientation regarding how to effectively and efficiently use and participate in the various lists, ICANN website, Wikis, Dashboards; and models or suggestions for effective ALS participation (i.e., if you do not have time to cover all issues, how to efficiently track and participate in limited issues). Maybe the ALS' who have been successful at this could give short presentations.

Suggestions for Speaker at Oct 15th
by Glenn McKnight July 30, 2012

July 30, 2012

Hi All I have a response from Michael Geist and his speaker fees are not realistic for our event. We need someone to be inspirational and engaging and free. Did I say free! I appeal to our community for your suggestions, especially someone local. I am sure we can afford a modest gift out of our budget but not a speaker fee. Please provide your feedback before our Working Group call so I can provide some alternatives. As it stands Google as a major sponsor will be speaking on the IMPORTANCE OF STAKEHOLDERS and CIRA and AFFILIAS as cosponsors would be interested as well as short speakers ( could be well wishes) Glenn Working Group for ICANN TORONTO . -- Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight Http://www.globalcatalysts.com http://newsocialmedia.wordpress.com

Hi all, This is just a reminder that the closing date for accepting SOIs for the positions of ALAC Rep, Chair and Secretariat are open only until Aug. 5 so if you are interested in any of these positions, please do not hesitate to send us your SOI. So far, we have Evan running unopposed for ALAC, myself running unopposed for Secretariat and, as of yesterday, Garth Bruen, Seth Reiss and Eric Brunner-Williams running for Chair. Eric sent his SOI directly to staff so keep your eyes peeled on our wiki, https://community.icann.org/display/NARALO/NARALO+At-Large+Elections+2012, to see his and Seth’s SOIs. Staff just hasn’t quite got them posted yet but I am sure they will be coming up in the next couple of days.

NARALO Statistics
by Thompson, Darlene July 30, 2012

July 30, 2012

Hi all, A bit ago Keiren asked for some stats about the NARALO. I believe that below are the definitive answers to those questions: * How many NARALO members are there? There are 23 ALSes and 6 Unaffiliated members. Staff cannot verify the exact members each ALS has.. This list of NARALO ALSes is available here - https://community.icann.org/x/kQCq We note that this page lists 21 members, it will be updated shortly. * How many ALSes in North America are there? There are 23 ALSes and 6 Unaffiliated members (which are counted as one additional ALS). Information on each ALS is available here. * How many individuals are subscribed to this mailing list? There are 100 emails which are subscribed to the mailing list, some individuals have subscribed more than one email. * What is the subscribe/unsubscribe rate of the list each month for the past six months? There has been very little subscribe/unsubscribe traffic on the NARALO mailing list. * How many individuals engage on this mailing list? This depends on the metrics being used, the information is available here - https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/na-discuss * Is there an NARALO Facebook page? Not at present, but there is an At-Large Facebook page which mentions NARALO events - http://www.facebook.com/icann.atlarge * Is there an NARALO Twitter presence? Not at present, but there is an At-Large Twitter account which mentions NARALO events - https://twitter.com/icann_atlarge * Is there a NARALO newsletter? How many are subscribed to it? Not at present, but there is a monthly Policy Update which is available here - http://www.icann.org/en/resources/policy/update * Is there a NARALO summary of events for members for ICANN Prague? It has not yet been posted, but the ALAC Chair's report is available here - https://community.icann.org/x/yq7bAQ I apologize for this coming in a bit late, Keiren. Staff was right on it. The bottle neck was with me as I’ve been a bit overwhelmed at work and with back spasms – both of which seems to have cleared up!

Schedule for appointing regional At-Large Delegates to the NomCom
by Heidi Ullrich July 25, 2012

July 25, 2012

Dear All, On behalf of the Chair of the ALAC, Olivier Crépin-Leblond, we would like to inform you of the schedule for the process of appointing the regional At-Large Delegates to the Nominating Committee (NomCom). The ALAC ExCom has suggested the following timetable for nominations and consultation recommendations from RALOs for consideration by the ALAC for appointment as the 2013 NomCom At-Large Delegate positions: 1. Nominations Open: 24 July 2012 2. Nominations Close: 7 August 2012 3. Nomination Acceptance Deadline: On or before 10 August 2012 4. RALO nominee prioritization period: Between 10-15 August 2012 (this may include a vote if desired) 5. ALAC Notification: RALOs to transmit all accepted nominations with a recommendation for a preferred candidate if the RALO wishes to provide one by 15 August 2012 6. ALAC Review of RALO Recommendations/Additional List of Nominations Accepted: 15 August -20 August 2012 7. ALAC selection and endorsement vote: Carried out on-line between 20-24 August 2012 8. Notification to NomCom of Appointees: No later than 25 August 2012 or as arranged with NomCom Secretariat Please note that the ICANN Bylaws (see: XI-2.4.e) <http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#XI-2.4> state: The ALAC shall, after consultation with each RALO, annually appoint five voting delegates (no two of whom shall be citizens of countries in the same Geographic Region, as defined according to Section 5 of Article VI to the Nominating Committee. Voting members of the NomCom are appointed for a one year term, starting after the close of the Annual General Meeting 2012 and ending at the close of the Annual General Meeting 2013. An At-Large ALAC and RALO Elections, Selections and Appointments 2012 Workspace<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+ALAC+and+RALO+Election…> has been created for these, and other, positions. Please feel free to add your nominations and comments directly to the workspace or by posting a message on your RALO mailing list. The NomCom's charge is as follows: The NomCom is responsible for the selection of eight ICANN Board Members and for other selections as are set forth in the Bylaws. (See Bylaws Article VII, Section 1<http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#VII-1>.) The NomCom is charged with populating a portion of the ICANN Board as noted above, as well as the ALAC, the ccNSO Council and the GNSO Council. The NomCom complements the other means for filling a portion of key ICANN leadership positions achieved within the Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees. The Bylaws also state that the NomCom shall adopt such operating procedures as it deems necessary, which shall be published on the ICANN website. The NomCom is designed to function independently from the Board, the Supporting Organizations, and Advisory Committees. NomCom members act only on behalf of the interests of the global Internet community and within the scope of the ICANN mission and responsibilities assigned to it by the ICANN Bylaws. Members contribute to the NomCom both their understanding of the broad interests of the Internet as a whole and their knowledge and experience of the concerns and interests of the Internet stakeholders that have appointed them. The challenge for the NomCom is to integrate these perspectives and derive consensus in its selections. Although appointed by Supporting Organizations and other ICANN bodies, individual NomCom members are not accountable to their appointing constituencies. Members are, of course, accountable for adherence to the Bylaws and for compliance with the rules and procedures established by the NomCom. Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Matt Ashtiani, Gisella Gruber, and Nathalie Peregrine ICANN Policy Staff in support of ALAC E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>

Niagara Falls Tour @ ICANN Toronto, Oct 20
by Evan Leibovitch July 25, 2012

July 25, 2012

Hello everyone, Based on positive response to date I have confirmed that there will be an all day tour of Niagara Falls, to take place Saturday October 20 immediately following the ICANN meeting in Toronto. I am extending an invitation to At-Large and NCSG members who plan to be at the Toronto meeting to join us. This is an all day tour that leaves the venue (the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel) at 08:30 and returns at 18:00. The tour costs $99 (Canadian or USD) and includes: - A private coach and guide from Niagara and Toronto Tours<http://www.niagaratorontotours.com/> - Travel through Ontario wine country, stopping at Pillitieri Estates Winery <http://www.pillitteri.com/> (including tasting of red, white and ice wine) - 45 minutes stopover in the historic town of Niagara-on-the-Lake<http://www.niagaratorontotours.com/itinary002.htm> - Scenic drive along the Niagara Parkway (just about the time of year the leaves will be turning colour) - Guided photo stop at the Niagara gorge and whirlpool rapids<http://www.niagaratorontotours.com/itinary007.htm> - Tickets for the Skylon observation tower <http://www.skylon.com/>overlooking the falls - Three-course lunch at the top of the Skylon, in the Summit Suite restaurant <http://www.skylon.com/summitdining.html> - Free time at the Falls and Clifton Hill <http://www.cliftonhill.com/>tourist area After evaluating various options, the tour operator has forgone pre-payment. However, it is necessary to confirm your intention to attend so that we can confirm sufficient numbers. PLEASE COMPLETE THIS DOODLE POLL TO INDICATE YOU WILL BE GOING<http://doodle.com/yskh84mh7yza5yxw> Note: If ICANN is paying for your travel to Toronto, *you will have to inform Constituency Travel about the later departure and pay for any hotel beyond Oct 19 yourself*. If you are looking for less expensive accommodations nearby, you may consider the Super 8 Downtown Toronto<http://www.super8downtowntoronto.com/>, in Chinatown and a short streetcar ride from the venue Basic but reasonable and a great location. I hope you'll all enjoy Toronto and Canada! -- Evan Leibovitch Toronto Canada Em: evan at telly dot org Sk: evanleibovitch Tw: el56
