[ALAC] ALAC Representative on the .NGO Community Advisory Council

[Alan Greenberg]

I was approached by Roberto Gaetano (former ALAC Member, former ALAC 
Liaison to the ICANN Board, former BCEC Chair, former Vice-Chair of 
the ICANN Board) who is the Chair of the Board of the Public Interest 
Registry (PIR), the operator of .ORG and now .NGO/.ONG as well 
Chinese, Hindi and Russian equivalents of .ORG.as several. As you 
likely know, PIR is a not-for profit organization created by the 
Internet Society.

PIR has a Community Advisory Council for the .NGO/ONG TLD (see 
http://pir.org/products/ngo-ong-domain/) and asked if the ALAC was 
interested in having a representative on that Council. After having 
discussed this with a number of At-Large colleagues, I hope no one 
will object to my agreeing to do this.

Following discussion with Roberto on exactly what is required, I will 
be sending out a call for volunteers.

We have been asked to identify a small number of candidates that we 
believe would do a good job. The PIR Nominating Committee will select 
one person to serve on the Advisory Council.
