Proposed Agenda Items:

5. Volunteer Review Team Member (10 minutes)

The Affirmation of Commitment (AOC) Reviews between the US Department of Commerce and ICANN calls for a periodic review of the key AOC objectives.

1. Ensuring accountability, transparency and the interests of global Internet users;
2. Preserving security, stability and resiliency of the DNS;
3. Promoting competition, consumer trust and consumer choice;
4. Whois policy.

The first review will be on accountability and transparency. It is expected to start in April 2010. Selection of the members will ultimately be made jointly by the Chair of the GAC and the Chair of the ICANN Board. See call for applicants for the position of volunteer review team member

In its message from February 15th, the ALAC ExCom asked the RALOs for the following:

• 1. Selection of Candidates for the AOC Review Team

RALOs should select and forward any preferred candidates to the ALAC and to the designated ICANN address through whatever mechanism they choose,. The earlier this can be done, the better, but if ALAC members will have the time to adequately review the documentation, they must be received no later than the end of February 20th. The candidates must follow the specific requirements specified in the Call for Applicants PLUS must include a statement of why they believe:

a.) they are in a position to fairly access ICANN’s accountability, transparency and the focus on the interests of global Internet users;

b.) they will be able to do this from the perspective of the global ICANN At-Large Community and the ALAC.

NOTE: EURALO, through its Chair, has expressed its support for Christopher Wilkinson's application for the Accountability and Transparency review team. The EURALO Chair also suggested Jeanette Hofmann's to the review committee. Jeanette has not submitted her application yet.

• 2. Advise ALAC on AOC Review Team Selection Process

All RALOs, through whatever mechanism they choose, decide how their representatives can help the ALAC come to closure on the decisions on the AOC Review Team Selection Process for At-Large that the ALAC need to make during its teleconference on February 23rd. The ALAC has to make a decision on February 23rd and cannot defer these decisions.

A tentative ALAC meeting is scheduled on Friday, February 26 to finalize the endorsements in case the ALAC does not do so at our ALAC meeting on February 23rd.

6. EURALO Delegate to the NomCom 2010 (10 minutes)(Wolf Ludwig)

ICANN's Nominating Committee asked EURALO to submit candidates for the 2010 NomCom. Applications will be considered in confidence and should be received by 2 April 2010 for full consideration. Selections will be announced in early September 2010. Successful candidates will take up their positions following ICANN's Annual Meeting in December 2010.

Scott Pinzon, Director for Policy Communications, ICANN produced a 15 minute podcast with Dave Piscitello on re-direction at the top level of the Domain System. This is the first episode in a series of podcast on current policy issues that will produced regularly by the ICANN Policy team. Scott is interested in feedback on the first episode to find out how he can improve the podcasts and make them more accessible.

• Does the podcast allow somebody without a technical background to grasp the policy implications of re-direction at the top level of the Domain System?

13. Non-Lawyers' Guide to the 2009 RAA (2 minutes)

ICANN recently produced a guide to ICANN's Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) written in an accessible language which tries to avoid legal jargon. You can find the Guide to the 2009 RAA under: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-15feb10-en.htm
