[lac-discuss-en] Deadline Approaching: Call for candidates in the At-Large community for the ICANN Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability
Dear All,
Olivier Crépin-Leblond, Chair of the At-Large Sub-Committee on the Selection of
Members for the ICANN Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN
Accountability, has requested a call for candidates in the At-Large community
for the ICANN Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability.
Interested members from the At-Large Community please submit an Expression of
Interest (EoI) to staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> by
Wednesday, 26 November 2014 23:59 UTC. Kindly see details below:
On 10 October 2014, ICANN published Revised Enhancing ICANN Accountability:
Process and Next
Steps<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2014-10-10-en>, a document that
describes the process to examine how ICANN's accountability mechanisms should
be strengthened to address the absence of its historical relationship with the
US Government and to strengthen its overall accountability and governance
processes. The process will be carried out by a Cross Community Working Group
(CCWG). A Drafting Team which included two members of the ALAC was convened to
propose a Charter for the CCWG. On 05 November 2014, the
Charter<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-11-05-en> was presented
and is now undergoing ratification by ICANN's Supporting Organizations (SO) and
Advisory Committees (AC).
The Charter allows the ALAC to name five people and our intent is to select one
per ICANN region (based on citizenship as per ALAC membership).
Under the assumption that the charter will be ratified by the majority of ICANN
ACs and SOs, the selection of ALAC representatives is now beginning.
Members must be familiar with, or be prepared to quickly learn about, current
ICANN accountability measures and the earlier Accountability and Transparency
Review Team (ATRT) efforts (see
https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/enhancing-accountability-2014-05-06-en,
Section "Inventory of ICANN's Accountability Efforts").
Members must also commit to actively participate in the activities of the
CCWG-Accountability on an ongoing and long-term basis. This means attending
conference calls which will likely last 60-90 minutes per week, ongoing mailing
list interactions and the ability to travel to any potential face to face
meeting, if the CCWG decides to do so. The total length of engagement is likely
to be at least 6 months to a year or possibly more.
The “At-Large Sub-Committee on the Selection of Members for the ICANN Cross
Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability" (“Selection
Committee”) is requesting that interested members from the At-Large Community
submit an Expression of Interest (EoI) to
staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> by Wednesday, 26
November 2014 23:59 UTC. In their EoI, candidates should respond to the
following:
* A resume (maximum three pages)
* A statement explaining why they are interested in serving in this capacity
* A Declaration of Interests indicating any potential or actual conflicts
* Respond to the following questions addressing your ability to carry out
posed by the Selection Committee as follows:
* (a) Why do you believe that you are in a position to fairly defend end
user interests on the ICANN Accountability CCWG? (b) Are you prepared to act as
a representative of the ALAC act according to the directions set by the ALAC?
(c) Please describe previous roles you have held liaising on behalf of a third
party. (d) Describe how you meet or will meet the criteria regarding ICANNs
current accountability mechanisms and review processes (e) Are you prepared to
make the participation and time commitment specified above?
The candidate EoI will be published in a secured section of the Selection
Committee wiki page<https://community.icann.org/x/QpDhAg>, which only Selection
Committee members can access.
Regards,
Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Ariel Liang, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie Peregrine
