NARALO Secretariat Summary
by Glenn McKnight March 29, 2014

March 29, 2014

*ICANN 49* Quick report on a few items and links to specific items As a whole the ICANN 49 Singapore was a huge success from the ALAC perspective given the decision of the NTIA and the final realization that ALAC generated policies have been very constructive and relevant, especially now since ICANN needs the face of the global community. The solidarity of the ALAC community the effectiveness of it's leadership has reduced but it will never eliminate some misinformed opinions of ALAC contributions. NARALO continues to amaze the community, feedback from friends at Afilias they were amazed on the ALAC representative Murray McKercher to the .MOBI His life work with Bell Canada is a real tangible contribution The hard work by Alan Greenberg and Evan Leibovitch on policy especially PIC , although given a cold shoulder at first by the Board resulted in support from GAC. Another example of the tangible policy contribution to ICANN mutlistakeholderism Garth and myself who spear headed the Accessibility Working group with Chris Modini moved rapidly from idea to implementation, report below. Edwardo has been tireless in the ATLAS 2 meetings and despite getting some heat on the lack of content, they are moving methodologically in populating the site for information. He has championed a action item tracking system. Worth looking into his efforts. Louis Houle was locked away most of the time with the Nomcom committee doing their magic. This nomcom has had no controversy as compared to past ones. No news is good news from these people In the midst of the ICANN meetings we wrapped up the election with a strong representation by Allan and Evan. Despite their loss they showed their true professionalism and took the election results as democracy in action. Rinala was the victor for Seat 15 which is a positive addition to the ICANN board It was the NARALO team that pushed for a First Nations fellowship and ICANN's response with to create a new Mentoring program and our first participant with Anthony Niiganii and Edwuardo was the Naralo Mentor. ( Perhaps Eduardo can provide a report next month) Here is his presentation at the Board General Assembly Also at the NARALO monthly meeting Tony presented details on his ALS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC_wIARO0_M Kudos to Avri and her contributions We have been asking the delegates to record their daily meetings in the WIKI workspace. Details are available 1. Pictures of Events 2. Accessibility Working Group Meeting 3. ATLAS 2 Fayre of Opportunities *Item One Pictures * Here is the list of the pictures from the ICANN 49 Day 1 https://www.flickr.com/photos/glennmcknight/sets/72157642764416133/ Day 2 https://www.flickr.com/photos/glennmcknight/sets/72157642815741025/ Day 3 and 4 https://www.flickr.com/photos/glennmcknight/sets/72157642885151514/ ISOC Delegate meeting https://www.flickr.com/photos/glennmcknight/sets/72157642901742264/ APRALO Showcase https://www.flickr.com/photos/glennmcknight/sets/72157642954212553/ Day 5 https://www.flickr.com/photos/glennmcknight/sets/72157642986052664/ *Item Two: Atlas 2 Fayre of Opportunities* The planning of the event is still at the mercy of the sponsors which has been slow. I made an outreach on behalf of the committee to Microsoft and Samsung. We also found out the the rock star speaker wanted a six figure speaking fee. Time to look for an alternative. We can get a short remote speech from Vent Cerf Our room is confirmed and work has been assigned to the delegates to provide person power at the table tops at the event. We will be having new banners according to Heidi *Item Three; Accessibility Working Group* Amazing speed has been shown by ICANN and thanks to VP Chris Modini and his staff in supporting this initiative. In fact the ecosystem from ISOC, Osbudman, GNSO, ALAC, GAC and the business community has expressed unanimous support for our strategy crafted by Gunela Astbrink( ISOC-AU) Here is the video I shot of the summary of the strategy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3GfgobNCpk To get involved visit the WG page on the WIKI Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight
