Thanks Seun. Pastor Peters, this WP was not "targeting" any RALO and particularly not AFRALO. In fact, a full 1/3 of the members of the WP were from AFRALO - more than any other RALO. As vibrant as AFRALO may be, I do not believe that it is a competition. Alan At 2020-10-22 06:42 AM, Seun Ojedeji wrote:

Dear Pastor Peters,

Thanks for your mail and just to further add, its not just the proposed bylaw change that is draft the entire report is currently in its draft state. I encourage members to not see the report as being targeted towards certain RALO as it was prepared by representatives from all the RALOs and this is now the opportunity for the entire membership to contribute to the report.

I therefore encourage members to look at the draft report and highlight any area of concern and suggestion for improvement. As an ALS, a RALO member and At-large member we have to continue to contribute our part in shaping the future of our ALSes and At-large as a whole.

Look forward to comments, concerns and suggestions on the report, like I said earlier let's get the comments in earlier, we hope to have a draft presented by our next monthly meeting which will be on the 4th of November

Regards

It is imperative members perused and make useful contributions and not leave it to a few just because some want to be in the good books of some powers within ALAC. (Some may take exception to this, but it is the truth)

A meeting with Alan in attendance after collation is very imperative. As a guide, the current bye laws of icann has not been amended yet. So when reading this report be guided by icann bye laws. Anything that is contrary to the bye laws is not binding. But if we are complacent, ALAC will adopt and forward to the board to amend the bye laws.

Afralo is the ONLY vibrant regional group on icann and we re the target.

The ALS mobilisation working party has completed its work and the report is hereby attached for our comments. These report makes recommendations on how present and future ALSes will operate within AFRALO and At-large as a whole, hence it is important that members look at the report and provide any feedback to on this.

You may put your comments on this list(in response to my mail) or you may write to me directly or to any of the AFRALO officers in copy. We shall then attempt to put the various comments together in form of a statement. I suggest we take the next 2 weeks for this as the ALAC may be finalising on the report during the next ALAC meeting. I will appreciate that comments are brief and specific with reference to specific heading and page number in the document. I will attempt to provide 2 examples below:

What to expect from an ALS(page 3/4): The 3rd paragraph seem to give more decision powers to the ALT, when it should rather be the entire ALAC that would grant such a waiver. Preferrably such waiver may be receievd and granted by each RALO leadership to avoid weilding too much power to the center

Withdrawal of Accreditation (page 16): Bullet point 3 under item 2 suggests that staff should notify the ALAC Chair who then oversees the process, i think it should rather be a notification to the RALO leadership (perhaps with ALAC Chair in copy) and the RALO leadership should oversee the process with an action recommendation to the ALAC (through the ALAC Chair)

Finally, while we have earlier invited the Chair of the working party in person of Alan Greenberg to our special purpose call in the past, there may be another call/webinar that will be scheduled. I will provide more details about that as soon as i have it.

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Alan Greenberg <<mailto:alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca>alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca> Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2020, 20:27 Subject: [ALAC] Final Report of the ALS Mobilization Working Party To: ALAC <<mailto:alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org>alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org> Cc: ALS-Mob-WP <<mailto:als-mob-wp@icann.org>als-mob-wp@icann.org>

Please find attached the Final Report of the ALS Mobilization Working Party (ALS-Mob-WP).

I will be happy to formally make a presentation to the ALAC and At-Large Community at Maureen's convenience, and I can also do presentations to any RALO that wishes.

The report is the result of ten months of work by the WP. Everything in it was determined by consensus and the vast majority by unanimous consensus.

The next step is a review by the ALAC and RALOs. Presumably the latter will be initiated by the ALAC Members from each region.

Once the ALAC, with the support of the RALOs provides approval, the substance of the report will go to the ICANN Board for their agreement (or non-objection). Any Bylaw changes will be submitted to the Board and would be subject to the standard Bylaw amendment procedure as specified under Bylaws Article 25. In parallel with this report being submitted to the ALAC, the proposed Bylaw changes are being submitted to the Office of the General Counsel for their review and comments.

Should the ALAC or Board require further modifications to the report, the WP will be reconvened.

I will be happy to address and questions, comments or concerns.
