<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Dear All, <br>
<br>
On behalf of Alan Greenberg, Chair of the ALAC, this is a call for membership of the At-Large Ad-Hoc New Meeting Strategy Working Party.<br>
<br>
<b>New ICANN Meeting Strategy: <br>
</b> <br>
In 2014, the ICANN Board approved a <a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2014-11-17-en#2.a">
new ICANN Meetings Strategy for implementation in 2016</a>.<br>
<br>
Based on a formal <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/recommendations-25feb14-en.pdf">
recommendation made by the Meeting Strategy Working Group</a> earlier this year, this new strategy will create some fundamental changes in the way ICANN holds its meetings beginning with ICANN 55 in March 2016.<br>
<br>
The formats of the three new Meetings (Meetings A, B and C) may be viewed on the <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+New+ICANN+Meetings+Strategy+Workspace">
At-Large New ICANN Meetings Strategy Workspace</a><br>
<br>
<b>Mandate of At-Large Ad-Hoc Meeting Strategy Working Party:<br>
<br>
</b>The mandate of the At-Large Ad-Hoc Meeting Strategy Working Party is the following:
<br>
<br>
· Advise the ALAC Leadership team regarding a draft schedule for the ALAC and At-Large for Meeting B of the New Meeting Strategy.<br>
· Represent ALAC in meetings with the ICANN Meetings Team. <br>
<br>
<b>Call for Membership: <br>
</b> <br>
The ALAC Leadership Team has requested that a Call for Membership for the At-Large Ad-Hoc Meeting Strategy Working Party be made.
<br>
<br>
The At-Large Ad-Hoc Meeting Strategy Working Party is to have at least one member from each region. There is no limit in terms of membership.<br>
<br>
Please either indicate your interest directly on the <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Ad-Hoc+New+Meeting+Strategy+Working+Party">
At-Large Ad-Hoc Meeting Strategy Working Party Workspace</a> or by writing At-Large staff at:
<a href="mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org">staff@atlarge.icann.org</a> by <b>Wednesday, 6 May 2015.
<br>
<br>
Next Steps:<br>
<br>
</b>The first call of the At-Large Ad-Hoc Meeting Strategy Working Party will be held the week of
<b>11 May 2015.</b> <br>
