Draft report on ICANN Accountability and Transparency
by Evan Leibovitch Nov. 29, 2010

Nov. 29, 2010

Hello everyone, On Thursday ICANN released a draft report on its accountability and transparency, to be found at this link: http://www.icann.org/en/reviews/affirmation/atrt-proposed-recommendations-2… I urge NARALO members to have a look at this. To me, one of At-Large's most important roles is keeping ICANN open and accessible -- as it is (IMO) it is already far too much in appearance and in action like an industry association for registrars and registries. So a proper evaluation of this report is one of At-Large's -- and thus one of our -- more important functions. It is likely that At-Large and ALAC will be responding to this report and NARALO needs to hear the perspective of its members -- both ALSs and unaffiliated -- on the report's findings. Thanks! - Evan

ICANN Confluence Page
by Thompson, Darlene Nov. 29, 2010

Nov. 29, 2010

Hi all, I am part of WT B and it was suggested that it might be useful for information sharing purposes for each ALS to have its own Confluence page under the NARALO in the ICANN space. What is your feeling? Do you think that this would be useful? Any input would be appreciated. D Darlene A. Thompson CAP Administrator N-CAP/Department of Education P.O.

At-Large-selected Director -- Election Update
by Evan Leibovitch Nov. 20, 2010

Nov. 20, 2010

Hello, By now I hope you'll all be aware of the fact that the At-Large Community is, for the first time ever, selecting a Director for the ICANN Board. The election for this is happening very soon. Under the current voting scheme, there are four voters from each region -- the ALAC members and the RALO Chair. In NARALO, that means the eligible voters would be Alan, Beau, Gareth and myself. However, since Alan is a candidate, he cannot vote. Because there are only 20 voters, each vote is important, so I have asked the Nominating Committee to substitute NARALO Secretariat Darlene Thompson as a replacement voter for our region. Apparently the NomComm is debating this issue and I have been invited to participate; I will let you know how this progresses. As agreed in the last NARALO meeting, I made a commitment to hear the views of NARALO members regarding the three candidates. There has been a community conference call held with the candidates; a recording of that meeting can be found at http://audio.icann.org/atlarge/Community-Call-Director-13-11-2010-EN.mp3 In addition to that (two-hour) call, many of the regions submitted questions of the candidates, some weeks back I solicited questions from NARALO members which were presented to all candidates on your behalf. A full list of initial statements from the candidates, as well as their written answers to the questions from NARALO and other regions, can be found here: https://community.icann.org/display/DirCan/At-Large+Director+Candidate-Comm… I invite all NARALO participants -- whether ALSs representatives, non-representative ALS members, or unaffiliated individual NARALO members, to contact me regarding their own preferences. While you are welcome to make your interest publicly known, I will treat all correspondence of this kind as confidential. I can be reached by email or Skype; if you prefer some other method of communication let me know. - Evan

Your thoughts on ICANN Strategic Plan Development 2011
by ICANN At-Large Staff Nov. 19, 2010

Nov. 19, 2010

Dear All, ICANN has recently launched its Strategic Plan Development for 2011. Other than in previous years, the planning cycle is now starting earlier in the year to allow for increased collaboration with ICANN¹s stakeholder communities. As part of this effort, Kurt Pritz, Senior Vice President for Stakeholder Relations in ICANN, recently participated in the EURALO and LACRALO monthly calls and gave a presentation on ICANN¹s Strategic Plan Development outline. To ensure that the At-Large community uses its influence and promotes its ideas on the Strategic Plan from the beginning of the process, please review Kurt¹s presentation and submit your thoughts, comments and questions directly on the Strategic Plan workspace under: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/ICANN+Strategic+Planning+Develop ment+2011+-+Community+Workspace Both the Powerpoint slides and an audio excerpt with Kurt¹s presentation this week is available on the wiki workspace. Detailed instructions on how to submit your ideas on the Strategic Plan Development on the top of the page. Kurt, as well as other senior management representatives are also invited to take part in the At-Large discussions on the Strategic Plan Development in Cartagena. -- Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Seth Greene, Gisella Gruber-White, Marilyn Vernon, Kristina Nordström ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff[at]atlarge.icann.org website: www.atlarge.icann.org
