Homework from GA: short para about NARALO mtg and ARIN participation.
by avri doria June 6, 2017

June 6, 2017

Hi, Not sure this is where it was to be sent. What I valued most about the NAROLO GA was the chance to see the group functioning as a group. I am an only an alternate member of NARALO for ISOC-NY and often am looking elsewhere in ICANN, so perhaps have missed the degree of cooperation on the list. Seeing what sort of group we may be becoming, over the 3 days, was a good thing. Personally I think more time could have been spent on a smaller number of topics, but in general thought the agenda worked out well and was worth the time. I think the combination with an ARIN meeting was brilliant. The At-Large can give advice on any issue related to ICANN's mission in names or numbers, so it is good to be in understanding with our counterpart in the numbers space, not quite a sub-component of ASO, but virtually, sort of. Personally, though a long time subscriber to the policy list, and previous remote attendee, I was happy to finally participate in one. I appreciate their openness and they way their process allowed for our participation. There is a lot to be learned from the way in which they implement the multistakeholder process that i am still digesting. thanks avri --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

ARIN Policy on Community Networks
by Glenn McKnight June 4, 2017

June 4, 2017

Hi If you recall at the last ARIN meeting we saw many of our NARALO members comment on the ARIN Community Networks policy See policy document https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/ARIN_prop_232_orig.html I spoke with ARIN staff about their programs on community networks today and they too are struggling with fee structure for AFRNIC Membership from community networks. Note they fund FIRE which has funded community networks in Uganda and in South Africa. Perhaps we need to ask our community to request financial support for ARIN for community networks as well.

CROPP Strategic Plan
by Glenn McKnight June 1, 2017

June 1, 2017

Hi Folks I have seen some comments on the NARALO Plan. https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Draft+RALO+Outreach+Strategic+P… Comment We have six request and only sponsorship for five. Please be prepared to discuss the rationale for each of these trips so we can submit the proposed Strategic Plan to the GSE after our June meeting. All the proposed trips are either in the fall or the Spring so we are not pressured to complete it for any early July or August trips. Last year we had the IGF USA trips and they have not been suggested this year. Noteworthy we have a number of our ALS living in Washington and will be attending the event. Thanks Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight 289-830 6259 .

Finally, A “.Radio” Suffix Will Be A Web Reality.
by Joly MacFie June 1, 2017

>From my inbox. I suspect Glenn has more than a passing interest. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Finally, A “.Radio” Suffix Will Be A Web Reality. http://www.insideradio.com/free/finally-a-radio-suffix- will-be-a-web-reality/article_578a0570-5372-11e6-b37a-0f359c0c0e40.html Talk about a perfect bit of radio and digital synergy: “.Radio” web addresses will soon be available. After a four-year process, the European Broadcasting Union was awarded the right to administer all “.radio” top level domain names (TLDs) by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN). The EBU will begin assigning the new web addresses to eager radio broadcasters in early 2017. The EBU says 65,000 radio stations and 60,000 web radio companies are interested in “.radio” addresses and that it will hand out the TLDs to “licensed broadcasters, radio stations from across the world, unions and related organizations, trademark owners, licensed radio amateurs, web radios and radio professionals.” To manage the new space in partnership with radio groups, the EBU is forming a governance body, the World Radio Advisory Board, with representatives of groups that helped push this process forward. Eight international radio groups supported the EBU’s bid to administer the TLDs, including the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC) and the Association of European Radios (AER). Competition was so fierce that ICANN took an additional 18 months to review applications, pushing back its initial timetable. ICANN previously awarded e-commerce firm BRS Media, headed by CEO George Bundy, rights to “.FM” and “.AM,” and BRS Media was also a contender for the “.radio” addresses. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast -------------------------------------------------------------- -
