We wish to keep working on improving our interaction with you and, in particular, we want to address some of the requests and feedback we have received and introduce some more flexibility in the format of our valuable face-to-face meetings. Starting in Montréal, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We are also suggesting that the list of questions or topics received be shared with the entire Community using the Policy digest, in order to increase transparency and allow the groups to improve their own understanding of their peers’ point of views on different issues. As for time allocation, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board chose the following topic to have an open discussion with you: “Community, Board and ICANN org readiness to implement the following three critical plans that will shape ICANN’s future: (1) Strategic Plan FY 21-25, (2) Operating & Financial Plan FY 21-25, and (3) Work Plan to improve the effectiveness of ICANN’s multistakeholder model.” The Strategic Plan <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001URYPj6Oi2N-Hr1iCs-pQkOJ3SDZmaabeYelyMNNakN0v…> has been adopted by the Board last June at ICANN65 in Marrakech. The two other plans will be completed and posted for public comment in December 2019. At ICANN64 in Kobe, the Board asked each constituency to provide three suggestions, one for the Board, one for ICANN org and one for the Community of things/aspects that should be done/improved in order to implement these plans successfully, starting 1 July 2020, as mandated by our Bylaws. In addition, the Board asked for one suggestion of something that could be done externally to improve trust and with our partners and alliances (eg. IETF) so that they collaborate effectively with ICANN on some of our strategic objectives (eg. DNS security). Based on the input received in Kobe, we are compiling a list of suggested actions for the community, Board and ICANN org which we would like to share and discuss with you in Montreal. We will send you that list in advance of our meeting in Montréal on or before Friday, 11 October 2019. We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations ( board-ops-team(a)icann.org) your single topic or the list of questions (max. 3), in order of priority, no later than Monday, 14 October 2019 or sooner. For information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group nor the room set-up. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on our suggestions and on how to improve our interaction further. We thank you in advance for your time on this matter and we look forward to welcoming you in Canada! Best regards, Cherine Chalaby REMINDER: ICANN66 Prep Week Schedule Executive: David Olive, Senior Vice President, Policy Development Support FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING On Monday, ICANN released the schedule for ICANN66 Prep Week, which features a series of seven webinars to prepare the community ahead of its Annual General Meeting in November.

REMINDER: Participate in Newcomers Day at ICANN66 Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING The Public Responsibility Support team will be hosting Newcomers Day for ICANN66 on Sunday, 3 November 2019.

More details including location and specific time will be shared later. Information Sharing REMINDER: Invitation to Provide Feedback on the ICANN Board’s Proposed Public Interest Framework Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING >From 18 September – 18 October 2019, a community consultation is taking place on the global public interest framework proposed by the ICANN Board. In reviewing the proposal, the ICANN Board is asking the ICANN community to consider the following questions for input to the ICANN Board: 1. What are your thoughts on the proposed framework approach? Do you have any suggestions for how it could be improved? 2. What are your thoughts on the proposed approach for decisions in the ICANN ecosystem to be accompanied by a consideration of their impact on the global public interest (as well as an explanation regarding what is meant by the GPI in the specific case)? 3. How do you see this working for the Supporting Organization (SO), Advisory Committee (AC), constituency, group, review team, or cross-community working group (CCWG) to which you are contributing? The global public interest is central to many of ICANN’s primary governance documents, and the ICANN Board hopes to play a role in facilitating a bottom-up, community-driven process to develop a framework as a toolkit for the ICANN community to consider the global public interest. These considerations would not change the process by which decisions are made but could instead serve as tools for the community to reinforce the commitment to the public interest and to demonstrate how specific recommendations, advice, and public comments are in the global public interest. This includes the ICANN community guiding the ICANN Board about the public interest determination the latter must make in its decisions. To learn more about the framework, please read the discussion paper <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001URYPj6Oi2N-Hr1iCs-pQkOJ3SDZmaabeYelyMNNakN0v…>. Community feedback is welcome by Friday, 18 October 2019 via email at gpitoolkit(a)icann.org. After the community consultation, there will be a public session at ICANN66, followed by a Public Comment proceeding. For more information, visit: https://go.icann.org/2kMb7RB.

Fwd: [ICANN Community Leaders] ICANN66 - Constituency Sessions - Topic from the Board
by Maureen Hilyard Sept. 24, 2019

Sept. 24, 2019

Dear ALAC colleagues Id be interested in any comments related to the latest email (Below) from Cherine with regards to our interaction with the Board in Montreal. *They'd like to have ONE question from us that we can have an indepth discussion on.*. I think they quite enjoyed the discussion that took place in Kobe so that it has now become the norm. So does anyone have a burning question they'd like to have it out with the Board?? And anyone to take the lead on that? *At the same time they'd like our feedback on their three key strategies *that they have completed (the Strategic Plan) as well as those that they are still working on (Operating and Financial Plan for FY21-FY25, and the Multistakeholder Plan) Also I'd like a team of volunteers to speak on behalf of At-Large on each of these topics - the penholders?

In preparation for our meetings, the Board chose the following topic to have an open discussion with you: *“Community, Board and ICANN org readiness to implement the following three critical plans that will shape ICANN’s future. : (1) Strategic Plan FY 21-25, (2) Operating & Financial Plan FY 21-25, and (3) Work Plan to improve the effectiveness of ICANN’s multistakeholder model.”* The Strategic Plan <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/strategic-plan-2021-2025-24jun1…> has been adopted by the Board last June at ICANN 65 in Marrakech. The two other plans will be completed and posted for public comment in December 2019. At ICANN 64 in Kobe, the Board asked each constituency to p*rovide three suggestions, one for the Board, one for ICANN org and one for the Community *of things/aspects that should be done/improved in order to implement these plans successfully, starting 1 July 2020, as mandated by our Bylaws. In addition, the Board asked for *one suggestion* of something that could be done *externally* to improve trust and with our partners and alliances (eg. IETF) so that they collaborate effectively with ICANN on some of our strategic objectives (eg. DNS security). Based on the input received in Kobe, we are compiling a list of suggested actions for the community, Board and ICANN org which we would like to share and discuss with you in Montreal. We will send you that list in advance of our meeting in Montreal on or before 11 October 2019. We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations ( board-ops-team(a)icann.org) your single topic or the list of questions (max. 3), in order of priority, no later than *Monday 14 October 2019 or sooner. * For information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group nor the room set-up. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on our suggestions and on how to improve our interaction further. We thank you in advance for your time on this matter and we look forward to welcoming you in Canada!

Re: [ALAC] [ALAC-Announce] VOTE ANNOUNCEMENT: ALS Application (307) Internet Society Rural Development Special Interest Group
by Alan Greenberg Sept. 23, 2019

Sept. 23, 2019

This is not a result of just our "rules", but is also a core principle from the ICANN Bylaws. I quote: The criteria and standards for the certification of At-Large Structures shall be established in such a way that participation by individual Internet users who are citizens or residents of countries within the Geographic Region of the RALO will predominate in the operation of each At-Large Structure within the RALO, while not necessarily excluding additional participation, compatible with the interests of the individual Internet users within the region, by others. I see two ways of "fixing" this. Both would require a Bylaw change (certainly possible). 1. Abolish RALOs and have all ALSes and unaffiliated members be one amorphous mass. This removes the need to identify an ALS with a specific RALO, since there are none. 2. Develop the concept of an ALS which crosses RALOs and thus does not belong to any of them. If indeed we have a potential ALS that will really help At-Large, we don't want to lose them, but I have an aversion for doing things in violation of our own rules and the ICANN Bylaws. Alan At 17/09/2019 11:53 PM, Maureen Hilyard wrote: Hi Olivier Maybe the rules need changing. Just because a group has members from all over the world, why should we stop them from becoming members of At-Large. The group currently had a leadership team whose members are all resident in the APRALO region. They are one of the few applications that I have seen that actually mentioned the DNS. As an ISOC chapter focusing on rural development, it probably has a majority of members from APRALO if all of its leadership team is from the same region. Since our current rules only note the primary and secondary members of an ALS regardless of who is most active in our work in At-Large, when it comes to who the other members are, no-one really bothers to ask. I would hazard a guess that if we were to do an analysis (and were to be so picky) we would have several groups that have global members. If we get active participants out of this ALS we should count ourselves lucky. That is the whole point of our ALS recruitment process. And as part of our Review we are finding that many of our processes need updating to keep up with the changing needs of the environments we are having to deal with. EURALO itself has been faced with an anomaly which does not fit the rules, but we have found LACRALO to be very obliging to cater for it. And as we revise our ALS Criteria and Expectations we will have to include a new "rule" that allows for ALSes to participate in an event on a neighbouring country that "does not belong to the region in which they are situated". BIKLAB is now a precedent which will allow this to happen more within our system as long as there is agreement between the regions concerned. APRALO has many small island countries in the Pacific that have been unable to participate in ICANN activities in their own right under our current rules because they are territories of big power countries (mainly in EURALO) who are given no support from their home region and would have no idea what EURALO was. Pacific countries are an anomaly because as all the 22 countries and territories of the Pacific are members of the Pacific Forum, they are therefore members of PICISOC, so in fact are members of an ALS already -- so we have international participants in our membership, even though they live in the Pacific.

REMINDER: Invitation to Provide Feedback on the ICANN Board’s Proposed Public Interest Framework Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING >From 18 September – 18 October 2019, a community consultation is taking place on the global public interest framework proposed by the ICANN Board. In reviewing the proposal, the ICANN Board is asking the ICANN community to consider the following questions for input to the ICANN Board: 1. What are your thoughts on the proposed framework approach? Do you have any suggestions for how it could be improved? 2. What are your thoughts on the proposed approach for decisions in the ICANN ecosystem to be accompanied by a consideration of their impact on the global public interest (as well as an explanation regarding what is meant by the GPI in the specific case)? 3. How do you see this working for the Supporting Organization (SO), Advisory Committee (AC), constituency, group, review team, or cross-community working group (CCWG) to which you are contributing? The global public interest is central to many of ICANN’s primary governance documents, and the ICANN Board hopes to play a role in facilitating a bottom-up, community-driven process to develop a framework as a toolkit for the ICANN community to consider the global public interest. These considerations would not change the process by which decisions are made but could instead serve as tools for the community to reinforce the commitment to the public interest and to demonstrate how specific recommendations, advice, and public comments are in the global public interest. This includes the ICANN community guiding the ICANN Board about the public interest determination the latter must make in its decisions. To learn more about the framework, please read the discussion paper <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001YBGdGyyfWcm_9Iy4D8tvTiY6uPFPX-IdXkhKEb8WEpql…>. Community feedback is welcome by Friday, 18 October 2019 via email at gpitoolkit(a)icann.org. After the community consultation, there will be a public session at ICANN66, followed by a Public Comment proceeding. For more information, visit: https://go.icann.org/2kMb7RB.

See the schedule and registration information <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001YBGdGyyfWcm_9Iy4D8tvTiY6uPFPX-IdXkhKEb8WEpql…>.

Sergio, We cannot ignore the interest of individual Internet users. That is why we are here! The Bylaws read: "The role of the ALAC shall be to consider and provide advice on the activities of ICANN, insofar as they relate to the interests of individual Internet users." ALSes are one mechanism by which we try to do that.

Thanks Eduardo, That is what I thought you meant. I personally would support this, but as you implied, when it was raised in the Review, there was STRONG opposition and I suspect that in general, that has not changed. To be clear, I opposed the Review recommendations because it was tightly coupled with other recommendations that I thought were very bad. And with the general opposition to eliminating ALSes, we came up with our new recommendation to try to more effectively use ALSes. Alan At 19/09/2019 04:14 PM, Eduardo Diaz wrote: Alan: Yes.

I quote: The criteria and standards for the certification of At-Large Structures shall be established in such a way that participation by individual Internet users who are citizens or residents of countries within the Geographic Region of the RALO will predominate in the operation of each At-Large Structure within the RALO, while not necessarily excluding additional participation, compatible with the interests of the individual Internet users within the region, by others. I see two ways of "fixing" this. Both would require a Bylaw change (certainly possible). 1. Abolish RALOs and have all ALSes and unaffiliated members be one amorphous mass. This removes the need to identify an ALS with a specific RALO, since there are none. 2. Develop the concept of an ALS which crosses RALOs and thus does not belong to any of them. If indeed we have a potential ALS that will really help At-Large, we don't want to lose them, but I have an aversion for doing things in violation of our own rules and the ICANN Bylaws. Alan At 17/09/2019 11:53 PM, Maureen Hilyard wrote: Hi Olivier Maybe the rules need changing. Just because a group has members from all over the world, why should we stop them from becoming members of At-Large. The group currently had a leadership team whose members are all resident in the APRALO region. They are one of the few applications that I have seen that actually mentioned the DNS. As an ISOC chapter focusing on rural development, it probably has a majority of members from APRALO if all of its leadership team is from the same region. Since our current rules only note the primary and secondary members of an ALS regardless of who is most active in our work in At-Large, when it comes to who the other members are, no-one really bothers to ask. I would hazard a guess that if we were to do an analysis (and were to be so picky) we would have several groups that have global members. If we get active participants out of this ALS we should count ourselves lucky. That is the whole point of our ALS recruitment process. And as part of our Review we are finding that many of our processes need updating to keep up with the changing needs of the environments we are having to deal with. EURALO itself has been faced with an anomaly which does not fit the rules, but we have found LACRALO to be very obliging to cater for it. And as we revise our ALS Criteria and Expectations we will have to include a new "rule" that allows for ALSes to participate in an event on a neighbouring country that "does not belong to the region in which they are situated". BIKLAB is now a precedent which will allow this to happen more within our system as long as there is agreement between the regions concerned. APRALO has many small island countries in the Pacific that have been unable to participate in ICANN activities in their own right under our current rules because they are territories of big power countries (mainly in EURALO) who are given no support from their home region and would have no idea what EURALO was. Pacific countries are an anomaly because as all the 22 countries and territories of the Pacific are members of the Pacific Forum, they are therefore members of PICISOC, so in fact are members of an ALS already -- so we have international participants in our membership, even though they live in the Pacific.

Dear Maureen, I am very surprised to see this having reached the ALAC with a recommendation from APRALO that this should be accepted.
