Elections
by Garth Bruen July 10, 2013

July 10, 2013

NARALO'ers, Darlene sent out the SOI reminder which is critical if any of you plan to run for a post, be nominated for a working group, etc. We received a request from At-Large Staff this week to move up the election cycle so as to bring all of the NOMCOM and other regions elections closer into synchronization. The goal is to have all 5 regions run elections at the same time. Before Darlene and I approve the new schedule I wanted to ask the region how they feel about this change. If we agree, the nomination period will begin immediately. The elections themselves would occur July 3 - July 10 instead of August like last year. Please let us know if there are any objections in the region to this. -Garth -----Original Message----- From: na-discuss-bounces(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:na-discuss-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] On Behalf Of Thompson, Darlene Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2013 9:24 AM To: na-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org Subject: [NA-Discuss] Do you have your SOI done yet?

Nomination of Louis Houle for NomCom
by Glenn McKnight July 1, 2013

July 1, 2013

I would like to nominate Louis Houle a long standing NARALO ALS from ISOC Quebec and one of lone voices from the francophone community in the sea of anglophones He has a long history working with government and journalism and is retiring from the Quebec government and would serve NARALO well as our NOMCOM representative and I'm sure his family wants him to keep busy. If you recall he was very active in the NARALO outreach table volunteering along with Monique a substantial amount of time speaking to potential NARALO members and ICANN newcomers in English, French and Spanish.

Hi all, Please find attached the application form for ISOC Canada. We are looking for regional advice as to whether to accept this application or not.

Ramping up for the election - General Procedures
by Thompson, Darlene June 3, 2013

June 3, 2013

Hi all, As we will soon be having elections, I am just passing on to you some general procedures about how these are run. Specifics on actual elections timings, positions that are available and re-election qualifications will be sent out soon. Who can run for these positions? Paragraph 9 of our Rules of Procedures state that: “The candidates shall be unaffiliated individuals or members of different ALSs and must live in the region.” So, basically, any member of any of our ALSs or individual members can run in these elections. Who can nominate? Our Rules of Procedures are silent on this matter but it has always been seen as good form to have a nomination and a seconder from two different organizations, however this is not a rule. People can also run without nominations. Who can vote? Each active ALS in the NARALO is entitled to one vote. As well, the individual members are entitled to one vote from their membership. Our Rules of Procedure are clear on what makes an ALS active or not. Paragraph 16 states: “When an ALS representative does not vote in 3 consecutive NARALO elections or does not contribute a comment on ICANN policy through collaboration on the At-Large discussion lists in 12 consecutive months, it automatically loses its voting rights and active status within the NARALO.” Staff is presently compiling a list of active ALSs so that we can know which have voting rights and for quorum. If anybody has any questions, please let me know, D ᑕᓕᓐ ᑕᒻᓴᓐ ᓄᓇᓕᖕᓂ ᖃᕆᓴᐅᔭᕐᕕᒋᔭᐅᔪᓐᓇᕐᑐᓄᑦ ᑎᑎᕋᖅᑎ ᑮᓇᐅᔭᓕᕆᓂᕐᒧᑦ ᐊᐅᓚᑦᑎᔨᒃᑯᑦ ᐱᔨᑦᑎᕋᖅᕕᖓᑦ ᐃᓕᓐᓂᐊᕐᓂᓕᕆᔨᒃᑯᑦ ᓄᓇᕗᑦ ᒐᕙᒪᖓᑦ ᑎᑎᖅᑲᓂᐊᕐᕕᖓ 1000, ᐊᓪᓚᕝᕕᖓ 910 ᐃᖃᓗᐃᑦ, ᓄᓇᕗᑦ dthompson(a)gov.nu.ca ᐅᖄᓚᐅᑎ: 867 975-5631 ᓱᑲᑦᑐᒃᑰᕈᑎ: 867 975-5610 Taliin Taamsan Nunalingni Qaritauyani Atuqtauningitnun Titiraqtia Nunavut Kavamangat Titiraqarvia 1000, Nayugaa 910 Iqaluit, Nunavut dthompson(a)gov.nu.ca Hivayautik : 867 975-5631 Kayumiktuk : 867 975-5610 Darlene Thompson Community Access Program Administrator/N-CAP Corporate Services Division Department of Education Government of Nunavut PO Box 1000, Station 910 Iqaluit, Nunavut, X0A 0H0 dthompson(a)gov.nu.ca Ph: 867 975-5631 Fax: 867 975-5610 Darlene Thompson Administratrice du programme d’accès communautaire Division des services ministériels Ministère de l’Éducation Gouvernement du Nunavut Case postale 1000, Succursale 910 Iqaluit Nunavut, X0A 0H0 dthompson(a)gov.nu.ca Tél. : 867 975-5631 Téléc. : 867 975-5610

Hi all, As a follow up to the e-mail below, just note that you need to have an account for the Wiki in order to access the SOI template. If it's not allowing you to access the template, you are either not logged in or need to set up an account. Matt Ashtiani (matt.ashtiani(a)icann.org) can get you set up with an account if you need one. If you have any problems at all with this, please let me know and I will help. D Darlene A.

Fwd: gtld-tech Call for Presentations for TechDay at ICANN Durban
by Eric Brunner-Williams May 30, 2013

May 30, 2013

Dear Colleagues, For those with travel support to the Durban meeting, as well as those of us who follow or participate in meetings remotely, Eberhard Lisse who coordinates the Monday Tech Day (and also operates the national registry for Namibia) sent the message below to technical-issues(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org earlier today. The state of registry, and registrar technology and practice in Africa was a focus of the Joint Application Support Working Group, and some of JAS contributors were NARALO participants, and so may retain some interest in the topic, hence this relayed notice.

As we have no budget presenters are responsible for their own transport and room and board. As the name suggests, talks must be of a technical (or operational, perhaps even administrative) nature, and should revolve around TLDs, but otherwise we are quite open.
