HI Glenn and others, Thank you for the nomination. I accept your nomination for Secretariat. I have been acting secretariat since December when Garth took a leave of absence and also have been vice chair. With Evan’s resignation I will be Acting Secretariat until the elections where I hope to become Secretariat. I have much experience in this area and would like to continue to serve NARALO. As Secretariat, I have been advancing NARALO's positions and outreach both in the technology area and in the accessibility area where I have been championing the need for captions not only for those with hearing loss but also for those with limited bandwidth. Because of my advocacy on this issue and through the work I and Glenn McKnight have done on the Technology Task Force we have made staff at ICANN aware of this need and they are working working hard to meet these goals, first with a new website and also hopefully with captioning. ALAC approved my submission for a special budget request to run a pilot program for captioning and I am hoping that this is approved by the budget committee. I hope to do more of this advocacy and outreach to different communities if you elect me as Secretariat.

Hi, Thank you Joly for the nomination for ALAC. I do accept it. I had decided before I ever ran that this was my last term on the GNSO Council. During the years before this term I had gotten much more involved with At Large, and found that when I had to drop back on At-Large activities, I missed it. As board member of ISOC-NY, I have remained active at the ALS level and on various ALAC working groups, though much less active than I had been. My interest in ALAC has to do with several drives: - to continue pushing the importance of the ALAC forward, relative to the other AC/SO and before the Board. ALAC has come a long way since the beginning, but it still does not get the hearing I think it deserves. As we enter a time when the organization has a strategic mandate on Global Public Interest, I think think this the perfect time. I have pushed for greater AC voice over the years and I think I can help. The At-Large is one of the more important groups for ICANN accountabilty. - To continue working on bringing the ALSes more into the ICANN picture. One of At-Large's greatest powers lies in its global spread and diverstiy. At-Large as the representative of the users - the people of the Internet, are the main engine of the constant outreach ICANN needs to do. But ALSes have to not only join, they should become to involved; there has to be consultation with the ALSes and bottom-up activity from those ALAses. As part of this I would also like to see a greater effect of the RALOs on the ALAC. - With the new gTLD process starting up again, I want to make sure that the things that At-Large tried to get done last time, actually get done this time. Personally, I want to see a round devoted to developing economies and to communities that could not otherwise participate. - I want to see the auction money used for developmental and other global public benefit projects. While some may question the long term viability of domain names as money makers, there is no doubt that they are bringing tons of money into ICANN's coffers. That money needs to be directed to developmental activities. Funding the remedial round refered to above is just one possiblity. I am open to any questions, and I hope that people will consider voting for me. avri On 11-Apr-15 23:46, Joly MacFie wrote:

HI Glenn and others, Thank you for the nomination. I accept your nomination for Secretariat.

As Secretariat, I have been advancing NARALO's positions and outreach both in the technology area and in the accessibility area where I have been championing the need for captions not only for those with hearing loss but also for those with limited bandwidth. Because of my advocacy on this issue and through the work I and Glenn McKnight have done on the Technology Task Force we have made staff at ICANN aware of this need and they are working working hard to meet these goals, first with a new website and also hopefully with captioning.

Glenn and I co-Chair this Technology Task Force along with Dev Anan Teelucksingh and we are always interested in making sure that the blind and disabled community is represented. On the accessibility Committee we also could use your help as we are working to put forward an agenda for the coming year. We look forward to your joining us.

I am sorry that I didn't notice this before. Please note that the NARALO is presently in contravention of its Rules of Procedures, namely: 8. The Secretariat will have administrative and informative functions. It will be responsible for maintaining a working communications system and for ensuring the information flux about the issues under discussion between the NARALO participants. The person(s) fulfilling the function of Secretariat to the NARALO shall be ineligible to simultaneously serve as the Chair of the General Assembly. https://community.icann.org/display/NARALO/NARALO+Operating+Principles+NA-20... I believe this should be addressed immediately. I cannot believe that we cannot get someone to substitute into one or the other role (not me) so that one person doesn't have to shoulder the entire burden and for other very good reasons.

Um, exactly what has been contravened? Exactly what needs to be addressed? Until today, during Garth's leave of absence I have been serving as Acting Chair, and Judith has served as Acting Secretariat. This is hardly news, we served these roles at the Singapore meeting. Judith has had the full confidence and support of both Garth and myself during this time. As of today, in light of Garth's return from leave combined with my resignation, Garth is again Chair and Judith remains as Acting Secretariat. The two of them will be acting in those capacities in Buenos Aires and, failing unexpected change, will continue to fulfill those roles until the AGM in Dublin. There has not been a time this year in which a single person was burdened with both tasks. Perhaps you may have missed some of the past process where this had been discussed. - Evan
Hi everyone I would like to be candidate for secretariat. I already updated my SOI and would like to add the following short comment to explain my interest for serving as secretary. I have the pleasure to be part of the NARALO since its inception. I participated in ICANN meetings remotely at the beginning, but when I've been elected chair of ISOC Quebec in 2007, I started to participate in person as my interest for ICANN kept growing. I appreciated my involvement in the NARALO Capacity Building meetings and received a certificate during the 45th ICANN meeting in Toronto in 2012. Since 2009, I focussed on the DotQuebec application that is now in service among many other new TLDs and, as you know, I'm a member fo the NomCom team since 2014 and I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity. The NomCom 2015 is now in the evaluation process of the 81 applications received for leadership positions and we now meet remotely on a weekly basis. I think that my background as a journalist, a communication expert and a manager for the Quebec Governement could be useful to keep improving the NARALO communications and outreach within the ICANN community and among the ALs.
