Klaus Stoll, Election Statement Vice-Chair NPOC
by Klaus Stoll June 2, 2015

June 2, 2015

Dear NPOC members Please find below my elections statement for the NPOC Vice-Chair position for your kind consideration. I am urging all members to participate in the election even if they do not plan to vote for me. Every vote cast is important in the wider context of Internet Governance. Yours Klaus *Klaus Stoll, Election Statement Vice-Chair NPOC* I am honored to accept the nomination as Vice Chair for NPOC in the constituency elections and ask for your vote. In the following I would like to quickly give you some of the reasons why I think that I am a suitable candidate for this position. Being engaged with ICANN for over 10 years now, I have demonstrated my support of ICANN, through, frequent attendance at ICANN meetings, as NPOC Executive and GNSO Councilor, and the contributions I have made to the ongoing discussions. I have developed a respect and belief in, and passion for ICANN, ever since my participation in my first public ICANN meeting. To witness the multi-stakeholder process at work, with all its shortcomings was, and still is, a revelation for me. The Internet with the DNS at its root is a common good that we cannot take for granted. We must sustain, improve and protect it on a daily basis. NPOC's role is doing just this through representing the operational concerns of the not for profit Internet users. NPOC is fulfilling its responsibility through outreach, awareness and capacity building to the many not for profit Internet users and NPOC is doing this successfully through its ongoing partnership in the Pathfinder initiative. The ongoing outreach efforts will result in increased NPOC membership numbers. In the case that I would be elected,I would see it as one of my main tasks to establish an NPOC constituency *in-reach***engagement and capacity building program for existing and new NPOC members. The first goal here has to be to ensure that the NPOC membership is able and sees it as relevant for themselves to engaged with the constituency. Now that NPOC has been established and grown out of infancy, we have to add as a goal to enable those who have the ability and the will to become new leaders within NPOC in particular and in the whole Internet ecosystem in general. This means a conscious effort of the NPOC Executive Committee to train and enable new leaders in particular leaders that are coming from developing regions and those sectors that are usually under represented. In addition,I am very much concerned about the observable and ever increasing disconnect between ICANN staff and the stakeholders and even more the disconnect between the different stakeholder groups and even inside them. The solution to this problem, in my opinion, is more than about fashioning clear and stricter rules; it is about creating a new atmosphere of trust and collaboration. I see it as my task to help rebuilding trust. In the hope that I deserve your trust. Yours, Klaus Stoll .

Election statement chair NPOC
by Rudi Vansnick June 1, 2015

June 1, 2015

Dear NPOC member, 2014 was the year ICANN was confronted for the first time with itself. The NTIA decision turned ICANN upside down and most of the constituencies got overloaded with extra meetings and discussions. For NPOC the past 12 months have also been very intensive. We organized several events under the topic Pathfinder, a program creating awareness for NGO’s to participate in the Internet governance. During my first year as chair of NPOC I’ve essentially focused on how to put NPOC in a different perspective. We all know NGO’s don’t get the appropriate attention in the DNS and Internet governance space. As NPOC get’s maturity, still only a few years young, it gets more recognition and has been accepted inside the GNSO world. While policy development in GNSO is priority number one, I would like to highlight the fact we need some specific objectives allowing NGO’s to raise their critical issues inside the DNS. My second term objectives will get NPOC deeper inside the GTLD world, querying for more openness, more participation power. Almost one year long, focus was, and still is, on the IANA transition. What’s in it for the NGO’s is very unclear. Most of the NGO’s using .org domain extension have no clue on what the IANA transition would mean to them. The knowledge about the DNS is quite limited and as such a goal to achieve for us is to get NGO’s understanding the value of a domain name. NPOC will also engage with the .ngo/.ong registry to elaborate specific actions enabling more NGO’s getting their domain name. Along the road of policy development I think it would be good if we could elaborate an action plan enabling NGO’s to use the domain name space to their benefit. Many NGO’s engaged in the social media, not really understanding they are providing interesting content to the profit world, while they could obtain even more through the use of their own domain name and website. With the team, as is actual proposed in the election slate, I’m confident we will bring NPOC to another level of engagement and will be able to get to the next milestone : NGO’s been recognised as a real multistakeholder in ICANN with voting power. I hope I've illustrated my full commitment and really hope we may be recognized as an unavoidable partner in the policy discussions to the benefit of NGO’s, our members.

Ad-Blocker Software and Not-for-Profit/Civil Society Reliance on Free Social Media
by Sam Lanfranco May 30, 2015

May 30, 2015

*Ad-Blocker Software and Not-for-Profit/Civil Society Reliance on Free Social Media***** There has been an exponential growth in the consumer (and enterprise) use of ad blockers to filter out advertisements that accompany online mobile and desktop/tablet web pages and social media sites. As well, the technology of ad blockers continues to improve. See: http://www.mondaynote.com/2015/05/25/ad-blocks-doomsday-scenarios/ One consequence of this for the not-for-profit (NFP) and civil society (CS) constituencies of the Internet is that free social media services will be under growing pressure to adjust their terms of service and access to specific services, either to protect advertising revenue or to (more likely) face lower advertising revenue. This will likely make it more difficult for NFP/CS organizations to depend on free social media services as their main avenue for communications with members, supporters, and clients. This suggests that NFP/CS organizations should perform in house stress tests to assess whether or not they have the capacity and resources to move from currently free social media services to sustaining their own web site and domain name for communications with members, supporters and clients.
