Subject: [ALAC] At-Large representatives to cross-community Working
Group on Geographic Regions


Dear Members,

In response to Board resolutions 2008.11.07.08 and  2008.11.07.09 (attached
below) the At-Large community is being asked to provide representatives to
the Working Group on Geographic Regions.

The ALAC is expected to address this issue in its teleconference of
tomorrow; those interested in being one of the representatives may wish to
let the ALAC know of the interest ASAP.

ICANN Board Resolution on Community-Wide Working Group to Review ICANN's
Geographic Regions

http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-07nov08.htm#_Toc87682556
Resolved (2008.11.07.08), the Board authorizes the formation of a
community-wide working group to study and review the issues related to the
definition of the ICANN Geographic Regions, consult with all stakeholders,
and submit proposals for community and Board consideration relating to the
current definition of the ICANN Geographic Regions. The Board requests that
all interested Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees nominate two
individuals to serve on the working group, the composition of which the
Board would like to approve at the December Board meeting.

Resolved (2008.11.07.09), the Board requests the working group, as its first
order of business, to draft and seek community input on a proposed charter,
and submit the draft document for community review, and Board consideration
and approval at the March 2009 Board meeting in Mexico City. In drafting the
charter, the working group is directed to focus, but not limit, its work on
the criteria for assigning countries, dependencies and recognized
geopolitical entities to a Geographic Region, and to take into consideration
the relevant ccNSO Board paper, the recent GNSO comments, and other
community advice -
including the GAC's original advice on the topic in 2000
<http://www.icann.org/en/committees/gac/communique-14jul00.htm. Further, the
Board directs ICANN Staff to support these efforts.
