Fwd: Comment on the Board resolution re the ATLAS II Summit Final Declaration
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond Sept. 13, 2014

Sept. 13, 2014

FYI - received as a follow-up to the Board resolution. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Comment on the Board resolution re the ATLAS II Summit Final Declaration Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2014 20:19:40 +0000 From: Steve Crocker <steve.crocker(a)icann.org> To: Olivier Crepin-LeBlond <ocl(a)gih.com> CC: steve(a)shinkuro.com <steve(a)shinkuro.com>, Icann-board ICANN <icann-board(a)icann.org> Olivier, I don’t normally comment on a resolution because the text, including the rationale, is intended to speak for itself, but a fine point arose during our discussion that deserves special attention. The Board was completely in favor of accepting the report and wanted to signal congratulations and support. A few wanted to include the possibility of making the Summit a regular event. While that’s a reasonable expectation based on the success of the two Summits, the Declaration did not explicitly mention this and the majority of us felt, as a matter of form, that it was inappropriate for the Board to go beyond the Declaration in formulating our thank you. Three Board members, notably including both the ALAC appointed member, Sébastien Bachollet, and our president and CEO, Fadi Chehadé, as well as Wolfgang Kleinwächter, signaled their preference for a stronger resolution by abstaining from the vote. Normally abstentions signal some level of disagreement with the basic tenet of a resolution, but in this case the abstentions were meant to signal a desire for strengthening the resolution. On behalf of the entire Board, I am passing on to you the strong appreciation for the work all of ALAC has done and, in line with the conversation we had previously, our expectation that we will receive specific advice based on the Final Declaration. The resolution is posted at https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2014-09-09-en#3.e , and at the end of the resolution, prior to the Rationale, is the following Note: > /Note: Three voting members of the Board abstained from voting on the > resolutions. They stated for the record that they were supportive of > the work resulting from the ATLAS, but wanted to draw attention to > their encouragement for the Board to take future consideration of > plans to develop the ATLAS into a regularly occurring event./ Please feel free to share this with the ALAC community. Thanks, Steve Crocker Chair, ICANN Board of Directors
