Experts Survey on behalf of the Capacity Building Webinars Group
by ICANN At-Large Staff Aug. 19, 2021

Aug. 19, 2021

Dear All, On behalf of the At-Large Capacity Building Working Group sub-team on webinars (CBWG-Webinars), we are announcing an experts survey to identify speakers for upcoming At-Large Capacity Building webinars. The CBWG-Webinars would like to have a diverse set of speakers to reflect the diversity we have within the community while examining topics from different perspectives. Given the current monthly schedule of webinars, there is no guarantee that all topics indicated in the document below will be covered within a short time frame. Topics that would be covered at any particular time depend on the need of the community in any specific time. Also, there is no guarantee that whoever indicates his/her interest to present would be asked to present. However, the CBWG-Webinars will try as much as possible to choose speakers based on their knowledge of the topic while making sure that speakers are from a diverse background. The CBWG-Webinars will make final decisions on speakers following a process of due diligence. Please complete the online CBWG-Webinars survey, available in AR [forms.gle]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/forms.gle/wK6mrmguQsQSw1t18__;!!PtGJab4!…> / EN [forms.gle]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/forms.gle/YfyCVBbRnQ6JzjkS6__;!!PtGJab4!…> / ES [forms.gle]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/forms.gle/TY6aza85jhkLrhGn8__;!!PtGJab4!…> / FR [forms.gle]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/forms.gle/ivrxRF7LjsbNAoFN8__;!!PtGJab4!…> / PT [forms.gle]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/forms.gle/N3Ly1uMDAyiGM56m7__;!!PtGJab4!…> / RU [forms.gle]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/forms.gle/GYBgjCe3G12FVZU9A__;!!PtGJab4!…> / ZH [forms.gle]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/forms.gle/cCzi1bjYBk78g3eh9__;!!PtGJab4!…>, by Friday, 7 September 2021.

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: ALAC/At-Large NextGen Mentor
by ICANN At-Large Staff Aug. 16, 2021

Aug. 16, 2021

Dear All, On behalf of Maureen Hilyard, ALAC Chair, this is a call for nominations to serve as the ALAC/At-Large NextGen Mentor for a one year term of three ICANN Meetings starting with ICANN73. The most important aspect of the program for NextGen is the opportunity to improve their knowledge and careers. The main role of a NextGen mentor is to support their NextGen mentees and help them learn about the NextGen@ICANN Program and ICANN in general, keeping in mind their interests, backgrounds, prior knowledge, and experiences. The goal is to prepare each NextGen to engage in an ICANN meeting, even if at most basic level, and to create a team bond and support system. A time commitment of approximately 24 hours each round is expected, including extensive pre-meeting preparation and on-site support for their assigned NextGen mentees. Mentors spend about 10 hours per week during the 6-week preparation period in advance of the meeting and about two hours per day providing on-site support at the ICANN meeting. Mentors will typically serve for one year, or three meetings. Mentors are expected to follow NextGen@ICANN Program<https://www.icann.org/public-responsibility-support/nextgen> guidelines to help ensure consistency in capacity development opportunities. Mentors will receive travel funding support to ICANN meetings. Guidelines for the program can be found here [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001EeJc3LNNaX8AL3oF…>. If you are interested in applying for the position of ALAC/At-Large NextGen Mentor, please send a brief Expression of Interest to Maureen Hilyard and At-Large staff by Friday, 20 August. The ALAC Appointee Selection Committee will review the nominees during the week of 23 August. Kind regards, At-Large Staff ICANN Policy Staff in support of the At-Large Community 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>

Fwd: August 2021 ICANN LAC Newsletter
by Eduardo Diaz Aug. 16, 2021

Aug. 16, 2021

News from other RALOs. -ed ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: ICANN <icann.communications(a)communications.icann.org> Date: Mon, Aug 16, 2021 at 8:00 AM Subject: August 2021 ICANN LAC Newsletter To: <eduardodiazrivera(a)gmail.com> <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0015KLnKSDIKxXb9CpJhF9FDFHblYXZWig76tmzQOlBeUb…> <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0015KLnKSDIKxXb9CpJhF9FDFHblYXZWig76tmzQOlBeUb…> <alexandra.dans(a)icann.org> Highlights from LAC and New Priorities By Rodrigo de la Parra Vice President and Managing Director, Latin America and the Caribbean Dear Friends, As the 2021 fiscal year just ended, I would like to reflect on key training initiatives delivered during this period. Thanks to fruitful partnerships, hundreds of people from Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) who were not familiar with unique identifiers systems or ICANN were trained in several topics, from the history of Internet development to Domain Name System (DNS) security threats and Universal Acceptance (UA). Together with the Mexican Association of Universities and Higher Education Institutions (ANUIES), we reached new regional audiences in academia and trained more than 540 students. Our regional team also partnered with the Latin American and Caribbean Islands Regional At-Large Organization (LACRALO) to host a UA training series that attracted over 150 participants from 14 LAC countries. My team and I look forward to continuing in this vein, and to building regional capacity for existing and new friends in order to facilitate LAC’s meaningful participation in ICANN’s processes and topics of interest. A special thanks to our partners without whom all this would not have been possible. Here's to another successful fiscal year ahead! ICANN72 Will Be a Virtual Annual General Meeting ICANN72 will convene as a Virtual Annual General Meeting due to the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The health and safety of the ICANN community and staff is always a top priority, and as such, holding ICANN72 as an in-person or hybrid meeting would not be feasible by its scheduled date. The ICANN Board also affirmed its intent to hold ICANN73 as a hybrid meeting with an in-person component if it is feasible to do so. Read the full announcement <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0015KLnKSDIKxXb9CpJhF9FDFHblYXZWig76tmzQOlBeUb…> for more information. ICANN Extends Travel and Face-to-Face Meeting Ban The ICANN organization has extended its current ban on travel and face-to-face meetings. The evolving trajectory of the virus, including the emergence and spread of new variants and the inequality of vaccine access across the world, as well as the rapidly changing travel landscape and ability to secure visas represent unpredictable risks.

Congratulations to all members from NIC.br for taking on new interactive technologies. ICANN71 LAC Readout Session During the ICANN71 LAC Readout session, ICANN Board members Lito Ibarra and Patricio Poblete talked about the Board’s activities during the meeting and provided a summary of ICANN71 resolutions.
