ALS Decertification Process Evidence Posted in WIKI
by Garth Bruen Dec. 5, 2014

Dec. 5, 2014

All, Per our rules: "16. 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. The ALS should be notified of the status change and may regain its voting rights and active status if within the next 12 months it votes or participates to online discussions, otherwise the Chair will submit to ALAC a request for de-certification of that ALS" I have created decertification evidence entries in the community WIKI for WEB 405 and People Who... https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Peoplewho.org++%28NARALO%29+Dece rtification+Workspace https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/WEB+405+%28NARALO%29+Decertifica tion+Workspace Anyone with conflict information, an objection, or direct contact with the ALSes should note it on our mailing list or speak on Monday's Teleconference. -Garth ------------------------------------- Garth Bruen gbruen(a)knujon.com

Many Webinars on IANA Stewardship Transition? Why? Which ones to attend?
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond Dec. 3, 2014

Dec. 3, 2014

(apologies for cross posting) Dear all, you will have seen the announcements for various Webinars this week and next week on the IANA Stewardship Transition. There are many of them. Here is a short note to make sense of all of these Webinars: *Webinars of the CWG on Naming Related Functions Public Consultation on Draft Transition Proposal*: - 3 December from 7:00 – 8:30 UTC - 4 December from 12:30 – 14:00 UTC - 4 December from 16:00 – 17:30 UTC These Webinars are repeats of each other and are organised and Chaired by the Community Working Group (CWG) which is presenting a first draft of the Naming Communities input to the IANA Stewardship Transition process. This Webinar will be used to explain the contents of the First Draft of the Proposal. This will really help in understanding the draft which is currently under Public Comment from 1 to 22 December 2014. I highly recommend you attend at least one of them. Details on how to join are given in the message at the bottom of this email. ------ *Capacity Building Program Webinar #1:** **- Wednesday 3 December 2014 13:00 - 14:00 UTC** **IANA Functions (standards, Numbering and Naming) - Patrik Fältström* Are you interested in this topic but do not know where to start? This Webinar is for you! Indeed, this Webinar is a great introduction about all of the IANA Functions, introduced by the Chairman of the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee. He is an expert! If you are interested in what is probably one of the key topics for the year and want to learn about it, then do not miss this Webinar! Tell people in your ALS! Tell anyone who is interested! Watch, listen, learn and ask questions - that's what this Webinar is about. The draft Agenda and call details are on: https://community.icann.org/x/2zrxAg *------ Capacity Building Program Webinar #2:** **- Wednesday 10 December 2014 21:00 - 22:30 UTC** **IANA Naming Issues by IANA Issues WG* This Webinar will have the members of the At-Large IANA Naming Issues working group explain the proposed ALAC response to the Public Comment period that has opened on 1 December and will close on 22 December 2014. This is your chance ask any questions about the proposed response and to comment on it too! However, we highly recommend that you attend the above capacity building Webinar before to better understand the issues and at least one of the three CWG Webinars above to learn about the CWG's First Draft. Call details for this Webinar will be sent out in due course. Reserve the time slot now!
