NARALO Election Self Nomination: ALAC Representative
by John Laprise April 7, 2017

April 7, 2017

Hello everyone, I am stepping forward as a candidate for the NARALO ALAC representative position. I have been an active participant of ALAC for a number of years now including co-authoring policy positions, attending ICANN meetings, and engaging with At Large and other SO/ACs as a member of WGs and CCWGs. As NARALO's ALAC representative, my first priority would be to listen and bring your concerns and contributions to ALAC discussions. I left the private sector and academia to found a non-profit focused on serving and empowering Internet users. Serving NARALO is a continuation of my service and I humbly ask for your support. Best regards, John Laprise Founder Association of Internet Users <http://www.aiu-us.org/>

Further on the Rules of Procedure
by Gordon Chillcott April 5, 2017

April 5, 2017

I've noticed that 3.2 of the proposed ROP requires each ALS to select one "voting representative". There does not seem to be any allowance for a designated proxy in cases where the voting representative is temporarily unable to act for any reason. In my own case, for example, I am not able to attend the upcoming General Assembly and my ALS has designated another representative. Gordon Chillcott

Systematic Copyright Alternative Dispute Resolution and PIR
by Glenn McKnight April 4, 2017

April 4, 2017

PIR Discussion on SCADR Systematic Copyright Alternative Dispute Resolution As a followup to topic discussion on the Systematic Copyright Alternative Dispute Resolution with the PIR Advisory Committee I am taking the liberty of sharing some points from the new PIR advisory member Farzaneh Badii. *This some of the key points by Faraneh* *Private dispute resolution mechanisms (and sometimes even overzealous public ones) for protection of copyright can lead to censorship.* *Copyright owners have access to public institutions remedies. Reduction of the legal transaction costs for them can lead to unfair requests and copyright overreach. At the present, there are no laws that mandate PIR to enforce copyrights or to come up with a dispute resolution mechanism. If a law that mandates PIR in the future is issued and passed, then that is when we should think about due process that should be present in that system. * *By having SCADR in place, PIR will run into many liability issues. I have not seen the policy (are we going to receive that?) but I have researched on intermediary liability. There are many instances which the intermediary can be held liable when providing dispute resolution. This is not a legally mandated ADR and not required by law, so if PIR chooses this path it might well expose itself to being sued. While arbitral liability is a well-established doctrine, PIR's process might not constitute arbitration ( I don't know the policy, have to look at it) there are instances that even referral to a certain dispute resolution mechanism can expose the intermediary to liability. And bearing such liability is for a cause that is against the mission of PIR in this instance. * *Best regards,* Farzaneh Comment Thanks to Farzaneh leading the charge on this issue and I would suggest to pick up this topical discussion and provide comments to myself and Maureen ( a new PIR Member) apparently a full document is pending from PIR Thoughts G Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight .
