by Isabel Odida July 8, 2019

Hi, I would like to nominate myself, Isabel Odida I am a Unix and Linux Systems Engineer with extensive experience spanning 10 years working for the Largest ISP in Uganda. I can confidently participate in any discourse that tackles IP based Systems Design, Configuration, Deployment, Scaling, Securing and Troubleshooting. In a nutshell, as long as the project involves Building Scalable and Resilient Service Systems Infrastructure Businesses, I'm In. I champion knowledge transfer in Uganda and across Africa where I train computer systems engineers in various capacity building organizations across Africa like The Africa Network Operators Group, AfNOG CHIX and I am also an active member of the AfriNIC Policy Development Working Group within the African region and I do volunteer for ISOC. I am a member of the IETF DNS Operations Working group which equipped me the knowledge and understanding of the roles and functionalities of the ICANN Board, ALAC, ccNSO and GNSO. Since I am involved in Policy development activity as a working group member within AFRINIC, I am aware of the role ICANN plays in Internet Policy and our role as a community to support ICANN’s vision. I look forward to contributing my voluntary work in giving back to the internet community in this capacity if chosen. I have a strong reputation for leading detailed planning activities, building cross-functional relationships, end-to-end project delivery. I’m very fluent in both spoken and written English. Best regards, Isabel Odida

As AFRALO Representative to the ALAC and an active member of several ICANN working groups and subcommittees; such as * GNSO EPDP of the Temporary Specification for the gTLD Registration Data, Phase I and Phase II * CPWG * ME SWG * AIRWG * At-Large subcommittee on outreach and engagement * CCWG IG I participate in F2F meetings, calls and policy development processes regarding many ICANN related topics that impact Internet users and lead to advises, statements and policy recommendations. To that end I am familiar with the ICANN groups to which the NomCom appoints and familiar with At-large and the wider ICANN community expectations As the Director of the DNS Entrepreneurship Center, I work on developing the Internet ecosystem. This requires an understanding of the needs of end users and the region in relation to the advancement of the Internet. It is also requires a lot of outreach and engagement, which allows me to interact and work with the community. All of this enriches my understanding and familiarity with the community and gives me the opportunity to engage with many active and brilliant people. I believe all this will help me in conducting the outreach required by a NomCom member. My participation in policy development processes like the EPDP, and other regional and local events like DNS forums, ME SIG, and AF IGF, in addition to being a current board member of the Egyptian Diplomats Spouses Association and previously on other non profit boards has taught me to listen carefully, defend my positions and work collaboratively with others.

Re: [AFRI-Discuss] NomCom selection

A few short further comments. At 06/07/2019 07:28 AM, Tijani BEN JEMAA wrote: Thank you ALAN for your mail. I agree with you on some points and I disagree on others: I agree with you that a consultation with the RALO is mandatory as per the ICANN Bylaw I agree with you that any decision to accept or reject a RALO recommendation or appoint someone else is a decision of the ALAC I also agree with you that there has been a distinct lack of communication in all directions in the current situation And I finally agree with you that the proposal that Mohamed just made to have an internal selection process is the right way forward. It is based on Maureen’s proposal that I also applaud But I strongly disagree with you that the ALAC Chair who is doing a reasonable job should make discreet (that is private and confidential) discussion with some ALAC members to make sure there is a strong consensus on how to proceed. The discussion must be with all ALAC members (except those who have a conflict of interest if any), in a closed meeting as we did in Panama last year, not with some of them. Why some and not all? I’m not with decisions prepared behind the doors among “a small group” of friends. I cannot speak for Maureen, but I can say that in my experience (and there were far more than one instance where I was in a similar situation, the Chair may consult with those in the ALT, or with selected ALAC members. Reasons for NOT including a particular person may include (as you suggest) a conflict of interest (real or perceived) or not wanting to put the person in an awkward or uncomfortable position. In some cases, (as was the case last year), consultation with all may be appropriate. It is up to the Chair to decide what is best in a given case. I also disagree with your allusion to the fact that if the RALO recommendation is not accepted, ALAC can appoint a delegate to the NomCom without going back to the RALO or even the RALO Chair. You were prudent enough to say “there is no formal requirement”. But even that, I disagree with because the formal requirement is in the bylaws article 12.2.(d)(v): The ALAC shall, after consultation with each RALO, annually appoint five voting delegates (no two of whom shall be citizens of countries in the same Geographic Region) to the Nominating Committee. I think that one consultation meets the requirements. We will have to agree to disagree on this one. So ALAC appoints after consultation with the concerned RALO, not directly without going back to the RALO. Your explanation is that since the RALO proposed a name, it was consulted. My explanation is different based on the fact that there is no formal permission to the ALAC to appoint without going back to the RALO, and on the fact that ICANN has a governance model based on a bottom up decision making system. If ALAC appoints without going back to the RALO, its decision is top down My other disagreement is about your contestation about us often focus more on "democratic" procedures than on making sure we select knowledgeable and capable people for all positions. Do you mean the democratic process prevents the selection of the best people???? Our AFRALO community shose so far very good delegates to the NomCom using their democratic process: Yaovi Atohoun, Mohamed El Bashir, Dave kissoondoyal, Fatimata Seye Sylla and Aziz Hilali. You can ask for their 360 evaluation to see that they performed very well. Also, this year, our community made a good choice but there was an issue for him. I was not commenting on AFRALO recommendations for the NomCom in prior years. I was commenting on our appointment process in general where we have often had very unqualified candidates for various positions. In many cases they are not appointed for one reason or another. On some occasions, they are! Do you think that Smaller group deciding instead of the whole members will make a better decision? How do you guarantee that this small group will not choose people that they want (not the best or the best among their friends)?? Of course, we need knowledgeable and capable people. I still think that the democratic process is the right one to have the best people if the eligibility criteria are well defined in advance for each position, and if they don’t change according to the will of the chair or any other influent person. The solution is not to have smaller number of persons deciding instead of the whole members. The solution is in a pre-defined objective eligibility criteria for each position. I agree completely. It is the testing to see whether the criteria are met that I feel our current processes often do not address. Our processes presume that the electorate will carefully consider all of the issues. An example is where staff posted the WRONG EoI for a candidate (it was CLEARLY wrong) but no one in the electorate even noticed, so one has to ask on what basis the person was selected (regardless of whether they were indeed a good candidate). Selection committees doing triage should remedy that. That does not preclude a democratic election of those that meet the criteria. Alan ICANN is a bottom-up decision making organization. ALAC and At-Large must be and remain so as well. Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg(a)mcgill.ca<mailto:alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca> > a écrit : I have avoided commenting during this process but now that we seem to be in a level postilion, I do have a few comments to make. Please note that these comments are NOT in reference to ANY candidate but are in relation to the process. - In accordance with the ICANN Bylaws and the ALAC Rules of Procedure (RoP), the Nominating Committee delegates are selected by the ALAC. A consultation with the RALO is mandatory. - Any decision to accept a RALO recommendation or appoint someone else is a decision of the ALAC. The Chair may certainly make a recommendation, but ultimately it is an ALAC decision. Prior to a Chair making such a formal recommendation, if he or she is doing a reasonable job, there would have been discreet (that is private and confidential) discussion with some or all advisors and ALAC Members to make sure there is a strong consensus on how to proceed. That is the process that I have followed in a similar situation last year and it is my understanding is that this is exactly the process that Maureen has followed. - If a RALO candidate is not ratified (or recommended to not be ratified), there is no formal requirement to go back to the RALO or even the RALO Chair. - Since we regularly (over many years) seem to have various people not understanding the NomCom delegate selection process, perhaps it is time to clarify the ALAC RoP. - All of the above notwithstanding, there has been a distinct lack of communications in all directions in the current situation, and that is a problem that needs to be rectified - and it cannot be fixed with rules. - The proposal that Mohamed just made, to have an internal selection process is one I applaud. If I understood correctly Remmy Nweke had earlier made such a suggestion. In my opinion, we (and that is both the ALAC and all RALOs) have often focused more on "democratic" procedures and not sufficiently on making sure we select knowledgeable and capable people for all positions. It is not typically sufficient to simply ask for volunteers (who may or may not have ANY of the skills needed) and then have a vote that is really a popularity contest and not a true evaluation of the candidates. For the ALAC, the situation has been largely remedied with the ALAC Appointee Selection Committee that began 3 years ago.
