REGISTER NOW! ICANN 59 Read Out Session @CivicHall NYC 6pm Thursday
by Joly MacFie July 17, 2017

July 17, 2017

It's an extraordinary thing. Three times a year 1000s of people fly to some remote destination to get together, in the first non-multilateral global governance process in history, to argue about how the Internet runs, specifically addressing and routing, and the role of names in that. What might at first seem a purely technical matter is fraught with commercial. social, legal, and other concerns. What is even more extraordinary is that, when it comes to the NYC tech community, despite their almost absolute dependence on these systems, there is a preponderance of ignorance on the most elemental aspects of this policy process - one that could have dramatic effects on their efforts & businesses. At ISOC-NY we do our best to rectify that!

To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world.

Strategic Plan for NARALO
by Glenn McKnight July 12, 2017

July 12, 2017

Hi Folks Recently Marita and Alfredo has been working on the NARALO strategic plan. I asked them to attend next month's call and provide a one slide overview of the activities, but more important is an analysis of the NA plan by Chris Mondini and how it integrates with our plans( given limited funds) If you recall Chris did a presentation on the NA plans at our GA. In advance of the next call we will do a matrix comparing the two plans plus some analysis of the other regions ie. Africa and LAC strategies. If you have any comments please do so. Thanks Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight 289-830 6259 .

by Judith Hellerstein July 10, 2017

July 10, 2017

Dear Naraloers Here is the info I was talking about. We need one volunteer to be the Naralo person on this committee to help write the criteria. Although Alan asks for it to be the incoming or outgoing person it does not have to be, just some one who has done time the next two weeks Cheers Judith Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: > From: Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg(a)mcgill.ca> > Date: July 10, 2017 at 2:46:54 PM EDT > To: ALAC <alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> > Subject: [ALAC] Criteria/Selection for Additional Travel Slots to ICANN50. > > As discussed in Johannesburg, The ALAC has requested additional revel slots to be used for "At-Large workers who are active participants in At-Large and other ICANN policy activities". > > We were allocated two such slots as a pilot program for FY18 starting at ICANN60. > > To use these slots, we must establish criteria to be met. > > As we must decide on who is attending this before the end of July, time is tight. > > I am requesting a small group, one person per RALO to be created to work with the ALT to develop criteria and recommend participants to the ALAC. My strong preference is that the RALO representative be the current or incoming RALO Chair. > > Whoever is selected must be available to work over the next few weeks. It is not expected to be a heavy workload, but the timing is tight. > > With this message, I am asking each RALO Chair to identify who will participate from their RALOs, with a deadline of no later than Friday, preferably earlier. > > Alan > _______________________________________________ > ALAC mailing list > ALAC(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org > https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac > > At-Large Online: http://www.atlarge.icann.org > ALAC Working Wiki: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Advisory+Committee+(AL…
