ALAC Co-Leader of the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group Work Track 5 In order to promote broad participation from across the community, the WG is seeking to establish a shared leadership model in WT5 with co-leaders from the ALAC, ccNSO, GAC and GNSO. Past efforts in this area have included a ccNSO Study Group and a Cross-Community Working Group (CCWG) on the use of country names as Top Level Domains (TLDs). (See https://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/unctwg.htm and https://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/ccwg-unct.htm.) We are looking for a person who is well acquainted with the multiple views on the subject within ICANN, has knowledge of and preferably experience in the past efforts, and who can work closely with the ALAC and an At-Large WG supporting the effort. We note that to a large extent, the person serving in this capacity is a facilitator for the Work Track and not there to put forward their personal positions. Interested candidates should send an Expression of Interest detailing their experience and willingness to serve in all aspects of this role to staff@atlarge.icann.org no later than 23:59 UTC on Monday, 28 August 2017. The ALAC will also be looking for volunteers to participate in the WT5 once it is established, but this Call for Volunteers is exclusively for the position of Co-Leader. OUTCOME The ALAC Co-Leader of the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group Work Track 5 is: Christopher Wilkinson Card |

Status | colour | Green | title | completed | There are a number of ongoing processes related to RDS including a GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP). Most parts of ICANN believe that this Review could have been deferred but the ICANN Bylaws do not allow that. As an alternative it has been suggested that this review be constrained to ONLY review the outcomes of the last WHOIS Review and judge to what extent its recommendations have been implemented and to what extend they were successful. Most parts of ICANN have endorsed this, with the exception of the GNSO which has issued a statement advocating a far wider review, including some aspects that overlap with the other on-going policy processes. As a result, it will be up to the review team itself to decide on the scope. Six applications have been received requesting our endorsement and they can be viewed at https://community.icann.org/x/gYfDAw. Applicants have been asked four questions to help the Committee make the selection:
All applicants replied by the deadline and their replies are placed on the "Submitted Applications" page above (in the order received). OUTCOME The ALAC Representatives in the 2nd RDS-Review Team are:Dmitry Belyavsky (Russia, EU) Card |
Status | colour | Green | title | Completed | SUBMITTED APPLICATIONS - ALAC Representatives SUBMITTED APPLICATIONS - Co-Chair CALL FOR CANDIDATES The new generic top level domain (gTLD) Program established auctions as a mechanism of last resort to resolve the competition sets between identical or similar terms (strings) for new gTLDs Currently the fund contains over $230 million dollars (note that $132 million of this is related to an auction that is being disputed).The CCWG is tasked with developing a proposal(s) for consideration by the Chartering Organizations (those ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees that have adopted the CCWG Charter) on the mechanism that should be developed in order to allocate the new gTLD Auction Proceeds. That proposal will then be submitted to the ICANN Board. Note that the CCWG will NOT be deciding on projects to be funded, but rather on the mechanism to be used to allocate funds. MEMBERS As one of the Chartering organizations, the ALAC may name five people to be Members of the CCWG and presuming sufficient qualified candidates, our intent is to select one per ICANN region (based on citizenship as per ALAC membership). Full details of the CCWG may be found at https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2016-12-13-en[icann.org]. Members must commit to actively participate in the activities of the CCWG. The estimated average workload will be no less than 3-4 hours per week. This means attending conference calls which will likely last 60-90 minutes per week (some of which will be held at inconvenient hours to accommodate world-wide participation) and mailing list participation. Past CCWGs have also formed sub-groups to divide the work. If this CCWG does so, that might increase workload. The total length of engagement is likely to be at least 1 year. The CCWG, any sub-groups it forms, and its mailing lists will all be conducted in English and all Members must be sufficiently fluent. There will be a Working Group within At-Large which will support our five CCWG Members, and all Members are also expected to participate in that WG as well. Members will also participate in any At-Large briefings and Webinars on the subject. Those interested in applying to be formally appointed to the CCWG Auction Proceeds by the ALAC should submit an Expression of Interest (EoI) including:
CO-CHAIR The ALAC may also name a Co-Chair of the CCWG and the ALAC has indicated that it intends to do so. Applications are also invited to be the ALAC Co-Chair of the CCWG. The Co-Chairs play an administrative role only and do not participate in the substantive discussions of the CCWG. The time commitment of the Co-Chair is expected to be larger than that of a CCWG Member. Co-Chairs should have experience in chairing meetings and managing multi-cultural, diverse and potentially difficult groups. The EoI for Co-Chair should include all of the items required for Members.PROCESS All EoIs must be sent to staff@atlarge.icann.org by Sunday, 22 January 2017 at 23:59 UTC. All applications will be reviewed in confidence by the ALAC Appointee Selection Committee (AASC) which will make recommendations to the ALAC on who to appoint. For AASC Membership, see https://community.icann.org/x/VwebAw[community.icann.org]. EoIs will be available only to the AASC and ICANN At-Large Staff. Based on an initial review of the EoI, a telephone/Skype interview of the candidates may be conducted by members of the AASC. IMPORTANT NOTE: The first meeting of the CCWG will take place on Friday, 26 January at 15:00 UTC for 60 Minutes. Since the ALAC selections will not be done by then, ALL Applicants must either attend this meeting and subsequent meetings or listen to the recordings.OUTCOMEThe ALAC has named its five Members of the CCWG Auction Proceeds. In alphabetic order of last names: Sébastien Bachollet Alan Greenberg Maureen Hilyard Seun Ojedeji Vanda Scartezini All are currently CCWG Participants and represent the five ICANN regions (EU, NA, AP, AF and LAC respectively). The ALAC will not name a Co-Chair at this time, but reserves the right to do so. Card |

Of particular importance, please note the following: - (As per RoP 7.3) Liaisons to AC/SOs need not be ALAC Members, but they will normally be current or past ALAC Members, or otherwise familiar with the ALAC and At-Large and the TG to whom they will liaise. - (As per RoP 7.8) When representing the ALAC, Appointees have an obligation to solicit ALAC and At-Large views on the matter where practical and possible. Appointees should be selected knowing that in many instances such consultation may not be possible or practical and thus the ALAC needs to select people who understand the philosophies or guiding values and principles of the ALAC and At-Large. - Liaisons should be selected based on their familiarity with the group to which they are appointed. Having worked extensively with them before in some capacity (such as on multiple WGs) is a strong asset. - A level of trust between a Liaison and the group to which they are appointed is mandatory for success and must already exist or it should be demonstrable how or why it may exist in the future. - Liaisons to AC/SOs require a MAJOR time commitment over and above other At-Large responsibilities. - For the SSAC Liaison position, the ALAC only makes a recommendation. The Liaison is a full SSAC Member and must satisfy SSAC criteria and follow SSAC processes for admission to the AC. - For the GAC Liaison position, the potential candidate must be approved by GAC Leadership. - For .MOBI, the prime issue not as much mutual respect and trust, but ensuring that the Liaison understands the business of .MOBI and is well versed in mobile technologies.

The scope and responsibility of the CSC is available here. The membership composition of the CSC, as specified in the package of proposals, includes one Liaison appointed by the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), who will serve an inaugural three-year term.
