ICANN Meetings
by Glenn McKnight July 18, 2016

July 18, 2016

Call for Expressions of Interest to Host ICANN Meetings in 2019 and 2020 15 July 2016 ICANN is actively seeking hosts for its public meetings to be held in 2019 and 2020 in Europe, Africa, Asia/Australia/Pacific, North America and Latin America/Caribbean. Those in the geographic regions are invited to submit expressions of interest for specific locations to hold the events. These recommended venues, along with others in the region that meet the selection criteria, will be considered. The final location for the ICANN Meetings will then be selected through the evaluation of both community- recommended and ICANN-identified locations. Meetings in 2019 and 2020 will follow the new ICANN Meeting Strategy <https://meetings.icann.org/en/future-meeting-strategy> approved by the Board in 2014. The new strategy includes a unique format for each meeting throughout the year, defined as Meeting A, Meeting B and Meeting C. Interested parties are encouraged to review the Meeting Selection Criteria <http://meetings.icann.org/host> and space requirements for Meeting A <https://meetings.icann.org/sites/default/files/icann-mtg-a-selection-criter…> [PDF, 365 KB], Meeting B <https://meetings.icann.org/sites/default/files/icann-mtg-b-selection-criter…> [PDF, 311 KB] and Meeting C <https://meetings.icann.org/sites/default/files/icann-mtg-c-selection-criter…> [PDF, 363 KB], which will be used to guide the evaluation of both community-recommended and ICANN-identified meeting locations. Elements such as cost of the meeting for ICANN and the community, convenience to international airports, availability of sufficient hotel guest rooms in or near the venue, meeting facilities, network infrastructure, personal health and safety of meeting participants, and total level of financial support will be considered by ICANN in making its final selection of a meeting site. Those interested in hosting an ICANN Meeting in 2019 or 2020 are encouraged to submit proposals by *30 September 2016* via the online form, Expression of Interest to Host an ICANN Meeting <https://icann.wufoo.com/forms/expression-of-interest-to-host-an-icann-meeti…> .

!! 3 hours left!! : Call for Candidates - ALAC Liaison to the CSC
by ICANN At-Large Staff July 14, 2016

July 14, 2016

Dear All, On behalf of Alan Greenberg, Chair of the ALAC, the call for candidates for the ALAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee (CSC) is now open. Interested members from the At-Large community should send their 1) expression of interest and 2) resume, curriculum vitae, or biography, to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> by 23:59 UTC on 14 July 2016. In their expression of interest, candidates should respond to the following: 1. Name 2. Affiliation 3. Geographic region 4. Skill set and experience (please provide additional details to the following): a. Direct experience and knowledge of the IANA naming function b. Analytical skills, ability to interpret quantitative and qualitative evidence, and capacity to draw conclusions purely based on evidence. c. Able to work and communicate in written and spoken English d. Effective communication skills e. Experience in managing and/or participating in committees (e.g. meeting coordination, reporting, and escalation) in order to contribute meaningfully to CSC processes f. Demonstrated ability in relationship management to support diplomatic discussion, consensus driven decision making, and productive negotiation 5. Other skill set or experience relevant to CSC’s work 6. Explanation of interest in becoming involved in the CSC 7. Understanding of the purpose of the CSC 8. Able to meet the time commitment<https://www.icann.org/iana_imp_docs/39-csc-candidates-qualification-require…> required to participate in the CSC 9. As ALAC Liaison to the CSC, what do you believe that your main responsibilities will be, both within the CSC and in relation to the ALAC? Please use the expression of interest template (.docx file attached) to fill out the required information. Candidates' Expression of Interest (EoI) submissions will be reviewed by the ALAC Candidate Selection Committee which will forward its preferred EoIs to the ALAC for final selection and/or ratification. BACKGROUND On 10 March 2016, the ICANN Board transmitted to the U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Agency (NTIA) a package of proposals<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-stewardship-transition-pac…>developed by the international Internet community to transition NTIA’s stewardship of the IANA functions to the global multistakeholder community. One of the things that this package calls for is the creation of a Customer Standing Committee (CSC) to provide operational oversight of the performance of the IANA naming function, a role currently performed by NTIA. The scope and responsibility of the CSC is available here<https://www.icann.org/iana_imp_docs/43-csc-scope-and-responsibilities-v-v2>. The membership composition of the CSC, as specified in the package of proposals, includes one Liaison appointed by the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), who will serve an inaugural three-year term. Liaisons shall not be members or be entitled to vote on the CSC, but otherwise shall be entitled to participate on equal footing with members of the CSC. Participation in the CSC is voluntary. The CSC is expected to perform the majority of its work telephonically and via email. Travel funding will not be provided. PROCESS The ALAC is responsible for appointing a primary and a secondary candidate that meet the qualification requirements in the expression of interest, and are geographically diverse. The ALAC should forward the Liaison candidates to the CSC for consideration no later than 23:59 UTC on 22 July 2016. The Membership Selection Process of the CSC Charter calls for due consideration to be given, to the extent possible, to form a CSC that has diversity in terms of geography and skill set. To that end, the composition of the slate will be reviewed during two points in the selection process: firstly by the RySG and ccNSO and secondly by the ccNSO and GNSO. The ccNSO and GNSO Councils will also make a decision regarding which members and liaisons will serve an inaugural three-year term. The ccNSO and GNSO Councils will notify ICANN and the appointing organizations of the final composition of the CSC. The notification will take place on or around 10 August 2016. Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Ariel Liang, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie Peregrine, Terri Agnew and Yeşim Nazlar ICANN Policy Staff in support of the At-Large Community E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> Website: atlarge.icann.org<https://atlarge.icann.org/> Facebook: facebook.com/icann<https://www.facebook.com/icannatlarge>atlarge<https://www.facebook.com/icannatlarge> Twitter: @<https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge>ICANNAtLarge<https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge>

As ALAC Liaison to the CSC, what do you believe that your main responsibilities will be, both within the CSC and in relation to the ALAC? Please use the expression of interest template (.docx file attached) to fill out the required information. Candidates' Expression of Interest (EoI) submissions will be reviewed by the ALAC Candidate Selection Committee which will forward its preferred EoIs to the ALAC for final selection and/or ratification. BACKGROUND On 10 March 2016, the ICANN Board transmitted to the U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Agency (NTIA) a package of proposals<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-stewardship-transition-pac…> developed by the international Internet community to transition NTIA’s stewardship of the IANA functions to the global multistakeholder community. One of the things that this package calls for is the creation of a Customer Standing Committee (CSC) to provide operational oversight of the performance of the IANA naming function, a role currently performed by NTIA. The scope and responsibility of the CSC is available here<https://www.icann.org/iana_imp_docs/43-csc-scope-and-responsibilities-v-v2>. The membership composition of the CSC, as specified in the package of proposals, includes one Liaison appointed by the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), who will serve an inaugural three-year term. Liaisons shall not be members or be entitled to vote on the CSC, but otherwise shall be entitled to participate on equal footing with members of the CSC. Participation in the CSC is voluntary. The CSC is expected to perform the majority of its work telephonically and via email. Travel funding will not be provided. PROCESS The ALAC is responsible for appointing a primary and a secondary candidate that meet the qualification requirements in the expression of interest, and are geographically diverse. The ALAC should forward the Liaison candidates to the CSC for consideration no later than 23:59 UTC on 22 July 2016. The Membership Selection Process of the CSC Charter calls for due consideration to be given, to the extent possible, to form a CSC that has diversity in terms of geography and skill set. To that end, the composition of the slate will be reviewed during two points in the selection process: firstly by the RySG and ccNSO and secondly by the ccNSO and GNSO. The ccNSO and GNSO Councils will also make a decision regarding which members and liaisons will serve an inaugural three-year term. The ccNSO and GNSO Councils will notify ICANN and the appointing organizations of the final composition of the CSC. The notification will take place on or around 10 August 2016.
