by Rinalia Abdul Rahim Aug. 31, 2015

Aug. 31, 2015

Dear ALAC and At-Large Community Members, [Apologies for cross-posting - subject matter is important and time sensitive] The Cross Community Working Group (CCWG) on Accountability has published its 2nd draft report, which contains its updated proposal for enhancing ICANN’s accountability as part of the IANA Stewardship Transition process. I would like to urge you to spare some time and attention to analyze the proposal and to provide the views of the At-Large community through the public comments process, which will end on Sep12th. Your views are important because the work on accountability has implications for ICANN's governance. *To be more informed on the proposal and on the response of the ICANN Board to the proposal, I recommend that you attend the following calls this week:* (1) CCWG meeting with advisors today (31 August) at 13:00 UTC. (2) CCWG briefing to the ICANN Board today (31 August) at 22:00 UTC. (3) CCWG-Board Dialogue on 2 September at 22:00 UTC (note that this is expected to be a 3 hour discussion).

Pour cela, veuillez envoyer votre texte au staff At-Large avant le 21 Août 2015 a 23:59 UTC. Pour finir un fAQ au sujet de ce deuxième avant-projet du CCWG Accountability sera publié cette semaine et distribué aux listes. [ES] Estimados líderes de RALOs y Miembros, El Segundo borrador del Informe del Grupo de trabajo Cross Community sobre el mejoramiento de rendición de cuentas de ICANN (CCWG Accountability en sus siglas en Ingles) está pidiendo comentarios ahora.

El Segundo borrador de Reporte estará disponible en dos formatos: 1) Version completa: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ccwg-draft-2-proposal-work-stre…; 2) Sección por Sección: https://community.icann.org/x/pKs0Aw. Este Comentario Publico es de esencial importancia y el ALAC estará enviando una declaración para asegurarse que mientras la declaración está siendo redactada estemos todos al tanto, el ALAC está esperando escuchar de las ALSes y los miembros individuales de los cinco RALOs para reunir comentarios. Para facilitar esto, los alentamos a incluir el Segundo reporte de CCWG Accountability como un tema en sus agendas de sus teleconferencias mensuales en Agosto. Alan Greenberg, Leon Sanchez, Cheryl Langdon-Orr, y/o otros miembros de At-Large/participantes en el CCWG estarán complacidos para presentar brevemente y contestar cualquier pregunta al respecto. Este esfuerzo no solamente facilitara el entendimiento de sus miembros de este comentario público, pero también ayudara al ALAC a incorporar los puntos de vista regionales en su declaración. Líderes de los RALO: si quisieran tener una presentación sobre el Segundo borrador en la siguiente llamada de su RALO, por favor sírvase contactar al Personal de At-Large pronto para poder coordinar oradores y las presentaciones. ALses de los RALOs y miembros no afiliados que quisieran enviar comentarios separadamente o dar textos específicos para inclusión o apéndices a la declaración del ALAC, son bienvenidos a hacerlo.

NARALO Chairs Report from Buenos Aires and Beyond
by gbruen＠knujon.com Aug. 4, 2015

Aug. 4, 2015

Hello all, Please review the preliminary agenda for the August NARALO Teleconference: https://community.icann.org/display/NARALO/NARALO+2015.08.10+Teleconference On an informal call of NARALO officers, the topic of CROPP came up. CROPP is going to be discussed in detail on Monday's call, especially the strategic plan. As CROPP becomes more important, properly staffing the CROPP committee will be equally important. Selection and re-appointment of CROPP representatives should be brought in line with the selection of other critical posts. We will be examining how CROPP representatives are selected and replaced going forward and calling for expressions of interests. Please review the recently updated monthly reports: https://community.icann.org/display/NARALO/NARALO++Reports+2015 This a summary of some of the activities from the ICANN53 Meeting (also see: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+ICANN+53+Meeting+Repor…) * Sub-Regional Meeting Proposed in NYC: The idea is to have mini-regional, informal meetings in locations accessible to a number of members - possibly New York City in September. * Comparing ATLAS II Objectives with At-Large CWG Work: * Submitting material to the NARALO Newsletter: Thanks to Eduardo Diaz we have the first ever NARALO Newsletter! Tell us what YOU are doing. * Recommendations for ICANN's Auction Surplus/High Interest Topic Session: The Chair served on this panel and recommended that use of these funds follow ICANN's mandate and focus on areas where the organization may be failing in the mandate: https://buenosaires53.icann.org/en/schedule/mon-soac-high-interest * Conflict of Interest within the ICANN Structure https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Transparency+and+Accountability… Thanks, Garth
