[Advisors] At-Large Summit London (ATLAS) Preparation

[michael gurstein]

Garth,

Below you say "NARALO is heading towards having significant capacity to act
as a node in an active network of public interest/ public trust
organizations concerned about issues of Internet use and governance".  

This would appear to mean that ICANN (or at least ICANN supported/associated
formations) are (or should be) concerned with matters which are currently
rather beyond ICANN's specific mandate in the governance of Internet "names
and numbers" and more in the general area(s) of Internet governance (for
example privacy, access, cybercrime, even taxation and so on.

Without arguing one way or the other on this could you explain (particularly
in the context of your current activities within the ICANN context).

Tks,

M

This morning I learned that ALAC has received an ALS application from Open
Media <https://openmedia.ca/operate> signed by Reilly Yeo, Managing
Director.  That triggers a process of due diligence by ICANN staff and an
acceptance procedure. Once in, they'll be a member of NARALO.  Given Open
Media's broad base of support and crowd sourcing skills, it would appear as
if NARALO is heading towards having significant capacity to act as a node in
an active network of public interest/ public trust organizations concerned
about issues of Internet use and governance.

re: outreach -- I recently heard (through the newly forming ISOC-Canada)
that Alberta is about to be delisted as an ALAC community.  The group that
registered hasn't been active for years.  I put James in touch with Glenn
McKnight re: starting up an Alberta group that would be active.  You (Garth)
may also want to be part of that discussion.

looks good for Canada to have as many participants here as possible.  At the
moment there is Communautique, NS CAP program, PCNA, Alberta Community
Network Association (defunct I think), N-CAP, ISOC-Canada, Canadian
Association for Open Source, ISOC-Quebec, Privaterra and of course TC (did I
miss any Garth?).  Darlene (N-CAP) and Monique  (Communautique) and now
Garth (TC) are very active.  ISOC-Canada also intends to be a strong voice.
I don't know who is active beyond that for the Canadian side.
