Elections
by Garth Bruen July 10, 2013

July 10, 2013

NARALO'ers, Darlene sent out the SOI reminder which is critical if any of you plan to run for a post, be nominated for a working group, etc. We received a request from At-Large Staff this week to move up the election cycle so as to bring all of the NOMCOM and other regions elections closer into synchronization. The goal is to have all 5 regions run elections at the same time. Before Darlene and I approve the new schedule I wanted to ask the region how they feel about this change. If we agree, the nomination period will begin immediately. The elections themselves would occur July 3 - July 10 instead of August like last year. Please let us know if there are any objections in the region to this. -Garth -----Original Message----- From: na-discuss-bounces(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:na-discuss-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] On Behalf Of Thompson, Darlene Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2013 9:24 AM To: na-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org Subject: [NA-Discuss] Do you have your SOI done yet? Hi all, In the upcoming months we will be having elections yet again. We are still working out timetables but once this has been discussed the region will be notified. However, in preparation for this, if you plan on running for any elected position and do not yet have an SOI, may I encourage you to do one. ICANN has a handy template for doing SOIs that makes this quite easy. The template and full instructions can be found at: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/New+SOIs D ᑕᓕᓐ ᑕᒻᓴᓐ ᓄᓇᓕᖕᓂ ᖃᕆᓴᐅᔭᕐᕕᒋᔭᐅᔪᓐᓇᕐᑐᓄᑦ ᑎᑎᕋᖅᑎ ᑮᓇᐅᔭᓕᕆᓂᕐᒧᑦ ᐊᐅᓚᑦᑎᔨᒃᑯᑦ ᐱᔨᑦᑎᕋᖅᕕᖓᑦ ᐃᓕᓐᓂᐊᕐᓂᓕᕆᔨᒃᑯᑦ ᓄᓇᕗᑦ ᒐᕙᒪᖓᑦ ᑎᑎᖅᑲᓂᐊᕐᕕᖓ 1000, ᐊᓪᓚᕝᕕᖓ 910 ᐃᖃᓗᐃᑦ, ᓄᓇᕗᑦ dthompson(a)gov.nu.ca ᐅᖄᓚᐅᑎ: 867 975-5631 ᓱᑲᑦᑐᒃᑰᕈᑎ: 867 975-5610 Taliin Taamsan Nunalingni Qaritauyani Atuqtauningitnun Titiraqtia Nunavut Kavamangat Titiraqarvia 1000, Nayugaa 910 Iqaluit, Nunavut dthompson(a)gov.nu.ca Hivayautik : 867 975-5631 Kayumiktuk : 867 975-5610 Darlene Thompson Community Access Program Administrator/N-CAP Corporate Services Division Department of Education Government of Nunavut PO Box 1000, Station 910 Iqaluit, Nunavut, X0A 0H0 dthompson(a)gov.nu.ca Ph: 867 975-5631 Fax: 867 975-5610 Darlene Thompson Administratrice du programme d’accès communautaire Division des services ministériels Ministère de l’Éducation Gouvernement du Nunavut Case postale 1000, Succursale 910 Iqaluit Nunavut, X0A 0H0 dthompson(a)gov.nu.ca Tél. : 867 975-5631 Téléc. : 867 975-5610 ------ NA-Discuss mailing list NA-Discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/na-discuss Visit the NARALO online at http://www.naralo.org ------

FW: At-Large Multistakeholder Policy Roundtable in Durban @ ICANN 47
by ICANN At-Large Staff July 10, 2013

July 10, 2013

Dear Members of the At-Large Community, Please join us for the upcoming At-Large Multistakeholder Policy Roundtable in Durban (on site or via remote participation). Program information is indicated below and attached. Best regards, Rinalia AT-LARGE MULTISTAKEHOLDER POLICY ROUNDTABLE @ ICANN 47 [Durban, South Africa] Date: 15 July 2013 (Monday) Time: 14:00-16:00 Meeting Room: Hall 2AB http://durban47.icann.org/node/39645 New gTLDs: Addressing Consumer and Public Interest Concerns ICANN’s new generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) Program will dramatically expand the Top Level Domain Space. The program carries benefits for end users and registrants in terms of increasing choice and competition, but it also raises a range of consumer and public interest concerns. These concerns include consumer safety and trust, multilingual access to gTLDs via internationalized scripts, rights issues related to the protection of trademarks, non-registered marks and geographic names, as well as barriers to program participation for stakeholders in the developing world. The At-Large Multistakeholder Policy Roundtable will highlight these issues and explore the adequacy of policies and mechanisms meant to address them. Discussion Questions: 1. What are the consumer and public interest concerns in relation to the new gTLD program? 2. Are the policies and mechanisms that have been developed to address these concerns adequate? 3. What more needs to be done to address these concerns effectively? Co-Chair: · Olivier Crepin-Leblond (Chair, At-Large Advisory Committee) · Rinalia Abdul Rahim (Executive Committee Member, At-Large Advisory Committee & Convenor, At-Large Multistakeholder Policy Roundtable) Lead Discussants Consumer Perspective – Holly Raiche (Chair, At-Large Registrant Rights and Responsibilities Working Group & Board Member, Australian Communications Consumers Action Network) Public Interest and Government Perspective – Peter Nettlefold (Vice Chair, ICANN Governmental Advisory Committee & GAC Lead on New gTLDs) Business Users Perspective – Zahid Jamil (Executive Committee Member, ICANN Business Constituency & Member, GNSO Council) Consumer Trust, Choice and Competition Perspective – Steve DelBianco (Executive Director, NetChoice & Vice-Chair for Policy Coordination, ICANN Business Constituency) Intellectual Property Rights & IDN Perspective – Hong Xue (Director, Institute for Internet Policy and Law, Beijing Normal University & Member, ccNSO Council) Community - Indigenous Groups’ Perspective - Karaitiana Taiuru (Chair, New Zealand Maori Internet Society) Community - Geographic Names Perspective – Olga Cavalli (Representative of Argentina to the Governmental Advisory Committee & Director, South School on Internet Governance) Developing Country Perspective – Tijani Ben Jemaa (Executive Committee Member, At-Large Advisory Committee & Vice-Chair, African Regional At-Large Organization) ICANN Compliance Perspective - Maguy Serad (Vice-President, Contractual Compliance Services, ICANN) Participation: This roundtable is open.

Nomination of Louis Houle for NomCom
by Glenn McKnight July 1, 2013

July 1, 2013

I would like to nominate Louis Houle a long standing NARALO ALS from ISOC Quebec and one of lone voices from the francophone community in the sea of anglophones He has a long history working with government and journalism and is retiring from the Quebec government and would serve NARALO well as our NOMCOM representative and I'm sure his family wants him to keep busy. If you recall he was very active in the NARALO outreach table volunteering along with Monique a substantial amount of time speaking to potential NARALO members and ICANN newcomers in English, French and Spanish.

At-Large Community Views Requested on Draft Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs
by ICANN At-Large Staff June 28, 2013

June 28, 2013

***THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE IS BEING SENT ON BEHLAF OF RINALIA ABDUL RAHIM*** Dear Members of the At-Large Community and IDN Working Group, Your views are kindly requested on the JIG Draft Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs. Specifically, 1. Should the general recommendations of the report be supported? 2. Are there specific issues of concern within the report that should be raised? If you have views, please share them via the At-Large Policy Development workspace by 7 July 2013. At-Large Policy Development workspace link: https://community.icann.org/display/alacpolicydev/At-Large+Draft+Final+Repo… Informational Resurces Full Report Link: http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/idn-tld-acceptance-final-25jun13-en.pdf [PDF, 135 KB] [Extract on General Recommendations] 1. IDN TLD operators (including IDN ccTLD, IDN gTLD and IDN gTLD Accredited Registrars) are recommended to support Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs in their own systems. Part of this recommendation is that ICANN's IDN Guidelines be updated to include provisions for IDN TLD registries and registrars to support the Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs within their own systems (i.e. for registration systems and services to accept name server records, child hosts, contact information with IDN TLDs) 2. ICANN should allocate specific resources for the advocacy of Universal Acceptance beyond the development of informational materials and toolkits. 3. ICANN should develop of informative reference materials for new IDN TLDs (including gTLD and ccTLD) to handle issues of Universal Acceptance 4. ICANN initiates efforts, lead by staff, with participation from the community, for further studies to investigate the scope of the issue and what other services or actions could be taken by ICANN to support the Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs beyond outreach and awareness campaigns Best regards, Rinalia ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>> Date: Wed, Jun 26, 2013 at 6:32 AM Subject: [ALAC-Announce] FW: ICANN News Alert -- Draft Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs To: "alac-announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org<mailto:alac-announce@atlarge-lists.icann.org>" <alac-announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org<mailto:alac-announce@atlarge-lists.icann.org>> [http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-2-25jun13-en.htm ________________________________ Draft Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs 25 June 2013 Forum Announcement: Comment Period Opens on Date: 25 June 2013 Categories/Tags: * Top-Level Domains * Policy Processes * Transparency/Accountability Purpose (Brief): The joint ccNSO-GNSO IDN working Group (JIG) seeks input from the community on its draft Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs.
