Fwd: [At-Large] Coping with active participation in At-Large during COVID-19
by Eduardo Diaz May 1, 2020

May 1, 2020

FYI. -ed ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Maureen Hilyard <maureen.hilyard(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 3:59 PM Subject: [At-Large] Coping with active participation in At-Large during COVID-19 To: At-Large Worldwide <at-large(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Dear At-Large Community In all our recent ICANN meetings, the Board and the senior staff have been very mindful of the difficulties that are being experienced by the volunteer community of At-Large during this pandemic and its impact on their ability to participate as regularly as they used to. During his intervention in the ALAC meeting on 28 April, the At-Large appointed Board member, Leon Sanchez, raised his ongoing concerns and asked the 70+ participants at the meeting how ICANN might be able to help volunteers to continue with their active involvement in the work of At-Large and contributing to the bigger picture work of ICANN. Because he has requested practical and constructive suggestions about how ICANN may be able to assist, I am putting this message out to those who also already attend online meetings and actively participate and engage, even under really trying personal circumstances. I am willing to pass on your suggestions to Leon, who will in turn take these to the Board for their consideration. *Please respond only to this thread* before 7 May, so that the full account can be passed on to Leon. I look forward to your thoughtful contributions to this matter.

Nomination Accepted
by Eduardo Diaz April 27, 2020

April 27, 2020

Dear NARALO members: I graciously accept my nomination for Chair, and I hope my strength and commitment to the region are a testament to my faithfulness and ability in helping move NARALO forward. In the past two years we have been focused in engagement, education and policy awareness and contributions. We have had many achievements, among which are the first North American School of Internet Governance (NASIG 2018) held in in Puerto Rico, followed by another one in Quebec in 2019. We have also able to use most of our time during our monthly meeting on educating our membership in ICANN current issues. In the past two years we had 24 monthly meetings, 7 snippet webinars, celebrated NARALO’s 10th anniversary and increased our membership by 15% (at a rate of 7% a year). Looking forward, I propose that we focus in four major areas: [1] *Policy*: Establish a working framework to increase regional participation in policy development through policy discussions in NARALO and participation in the Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG) and others spaces as necessary , [2] *Outreach & Engagement*: Advance our O&E strategic plans and support the 2021 and 2022 North American Schools of Internet Governance (NASIG 2021 &NASIG 2022), [3] *Education*: Continue to provide snippet webinars to maintain the region informed of issues and policies related that affect the stability and security of the global Internet's systems of unique identifiers and coordinate NASIG 2021 & 2022 [4]*Membership*: Coordinate the 2021 NARALO General Assembly. Maintain and/or increase our membership roll by a rate of 7% increase. I look ahead to the contributions to the end-user community and beyond that together will make through NARALO. -ed -- *NOTICE:* This email may contain information which is confidential and/or subject to legal privilege, and is intended for the use of the named addressee only.

NARALO Member Interest & Capacity Survey
by mcknight.glenn＠gmail.com April 15, 2020

April 15, 2020

I've invited you to fill in the following form: NARALO Member Interest & Capacity Survey To fill it in, visit: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc-FGcdJXGWEwEwYleD9vv1TpppGLaSXwM… NARALO is here to represent your interests and concerns in ICANN with regards to the coordination of the global Internet's systems of unique identifiers. To understand these, we have prepared the following survey to do that. The survey is divided in four sections: The first section is all about who is answering the survey. Here we want to know your name, how to best contact you, and if you are part of an ALS. The next section is to know what your interests are within the coordination of the global Internet’s systems of unique identifiers. We have compiled a list of the topics that are of major interest within ICANN at the moment. But we also have an open question, to let us know other topics that may be of interest to you. Then, we want to know what areas you care enough about that you would be willing to put in some time and effort working on them. The idea is to get a sense of what topics really motivate you. This will help in knowing who we should contact when we get to the point of looking for volunteers to work on specific topics. It is important to know that, by answering this part, you are not being committed to anything. And finally, we want to know where you might be a resource. Even if you do not have the time or energy to be part of a working group on a topic, you may know enough about it to offer a few insights to those who are. Please allow 10 minutes for the survey.

DEMS URGE REGISTRARS TO CRACK DOWN ON COVID SCAMS
by Joly MacFie April 14, 2020

April 14, 2020

(Politico Morning Tech <https://www.politico.com/newsletters/morning-tech/2020/04/14/googles-month-…> ) *FIRST IN MT:* *DEMS URGE REGISTRARS TO CRACK DOWN ON COVID SCAMS — *A group of Senate Democrats is calling on domain name gatekeepers to do more to combat phishing scams and online misinformation about the coronavirus outbreak. "As people the world over turn increasingly to the Internet for information about the coronavirus and use online applications to work, learn, and keep in contact with friends and family, it is imperative that domain name registrars not turn a blind eye to such illicit activity but, rather, act to protect the Internet-using public," Sens. Mazie Hirono <http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=e1141b967f4fcaf3d635a692b7453c01c6757d378d5…> (Hawaii), Cory Booker <http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=e1141b967f4fcaf38d9c8d55dc0bec6d8f0de478de0…> (N.J.) and Maggie Hassan <http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=e1141b967f4fcaf32fe7487b4928550d5b7b87e1360…> (N.H.) wrote in letters to eight registrars and hosting sites, including GoDaddy and Namecheap. *— The lawmakers are calling on the sites to spell out by April 20 *what steps they take to vet applicants seeking to register for domain names and what punishments they dole out for those doing so for unlawful purposes related to the virus. They also asked the companies to disclose whether they are cooperating with authorities regarding suspected illegal activity. Alvaro Alvarez, general counsel for domain company Donuts Inc., told MT it's reviewing the letter, but noted it's "had low case volume for coronavirus-related complaints." Other firms either did not offer or were not immediately available for comment late Monday. -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +2185659365 -------------------------------------- -

Dear Glenn, Thank you for your nominations and SOI. Thank you.

The first year is a learning year and the second is more productive and you step up to volunteer on special committees. This year has been very challenging given no face to face meetings and a huge workload online with a very large number of applications. Regardless I am willing and able to serve for another year.

Nomination Acceptance Received / Re: SOI -- Marita Moll
by Claudia Ruiz April 13, 2020

April 13, 2020

Dear Marita, Your Nomination acceptance has been recorded and you EOI has been added to the wiki. Thank you. Kind regards, Claudia Ruiz From: NA-Discuss <na-discuss-bounces(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> on behalf of Marita Moll <mmoll(a)ca.inter.net> Date: Friday, April 10, 2020 at 9:40 AM To: na-discuss <na-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Subject: [NA-Discuss] SOI -- Marita Moll SOI for second term as NARALO representative to ALAC I believe that the voice of At Large, on behalf of Internet end users, is a crucial part of ICANN's structure and it is a role that needs to be strengthened. This is why, during my first term as NARALO rep. to ALAC, I have led discussions and written At Large responses to ICANN's 5-year strategic plan, especially the evolution of the multistakeholder system. But it is also crucial to ensure that the voice of end users flows up through the RALOs and into At Large responses to policy and administrative issues. In order for this to happen, information about ICANN decisions and processes must also flow down to end users in ways that are accessible. I think this will be an important part of our work over the next two years. I hope to have your support to continue in the role as your representative for another term. Marita Moll
