I would like nominate Cheryl Langdon-Orr for the position of ALAC Liaison to the ccNSO. My rationale is as follows: 1. Cheryl has a strong working relationship with both the outgoing and incoming ccNSO Chairs. 2. Cheryl has a long ccTLD history and so is in a good position to develop meaningful relationships with individual ccNSO members, helping to forge links between ccTLDs an regional At-Large organizations. 3. DNS Security (and the infamous DNS CERT discussion) and Accountability and Transparency are two issues that are important to both the ALAC and the ccNSO and Cheryl is arguably the best person to represent us in these areas. 4. With Cheryl no longer being ALAC Chair and a member of the ATRT, as a mere ALAC Vice-Chair, she is going to bored out of her mind, and she needs some extra things to focus on. Alan

Actually participating in the crafting of some proposal (or some similar involvement) *might* be. This is the same reason that Directors do not participate in the policy development process (and you may have noticed that the two Directors who signed up for the VI WG did so as "observers", and even then did not tend to participate. In any case, this was an alert that I was given during the Director selection process, and I passed it on in this forum as a *possible* consideration. Alan

Availability is not the only issue. If Sebastien participates to too great an extent on a particular issue, he may be seen to be in a conflict position and would have to recuse himself if that issue comes to the Board for discussion or decision. Then At-Large would lose both their liaison and voting Board member on just the issue that is of importance to them.

TR: [At-Large] ANNOUNCEMENT : Results from Round 2 voting for At-Large selected Board Member for seat #15 of ICANN Board
by Sébastien Bachollet Dec. 1, 2010

Dec. 1, 2010

Dear colleagues, http://sebastien.bachollet.fr/ All the best Dear Colleagues, I would like to thank all of you, again, for your efforts in conducting the At-Large selected ICANN Board Member election and I would like to thank all those who participated in this voting round. Those elections were an excellent opportunity to communicate on issues that are important to all of us and to allow an unprecedented involvement of the ALS leaders, RALO boards and ALAC members. As Alan said: It was a good and interesting race. Both Pierre and Alan were very good contestants and I thank them very much for their participation and their constructive campaign style. It has shown a healthy At-Large community. I will do my best to be the voice of the diverse but important At-Large community and serve ICANN and the Internet end-users. As you all know, I generally take the view that elected officers should not be serving multiple mandates at the same time. As a result of this election, I would end up with two mandates after the Cartagena meeting, one being that of ALAC member and the other that of an ICANN Board member (seat #15). I fully concur with the view expressed by Nomcom on this subject. I will therefore step down from the ALAC position (at the end of the Cartagena meeting) and thus avoid a dual mandate. I believe that this is in the best interest of ALAC and the ICANN community. I consulted various colleagues on this subject and found that there was consensus in this respect. There are, however, important things to consider in this respect. There is no point in avoiding one dual mandate situation just to end up with another dual mandate situation. As a community, we should make sure that dual mandates are avoided whenever possible. And we should always try to have more people involved. This is a way to get new brains to look at the issues we deal with and to better share the demanding workload. That brings us to the new issues to deal with: there is no longer a liaison between the ICANN Board and the ALAC. I regard it of course as my duty to be available whenever invited to participate in At-Large processes and thus continue the work done by the ALAC liaison to the board. We could try to formalize this. I am confident that we will be able to find an effective way to keep a close connection between the Board and the ALSes/RALOs/ALAC work.
