People join for all sorts of reasons and it can take a while before they find out exactly where they can best fit. It is one of the reasons why we have paid more attention this year to capacity building webinars and ICANN Learn courses (which are still in development), because people need to understand more about how ICANN and At-Large works. It has taken some of us ages to learn its little quirks especially in relation to working with Org and the Board. Strange animals. But at the same time, it is at RALO level that newsomers need to first achieve that initial degree of comfort and awareness. If they don't feel welcome and included at that level, they are not going to feel too included in the wider At-Large groups where the focus is away from people and totally on policy or outreach issues.

All like us which have join with focused interest into policy development remain interested and committed because policy still changing all the time, so always a lot to do in this regard. Others that we have “outreach” to become members, just a few had the same interest in policy issues or DNS related issues. Once you belong to the industry, that is the basics for your interest, but general ALSs have nothing to do with DNS and for them is not realistic expect commitment with any kind of policy or DNS relates issues. They may be interested in DNS Abuse, for instance, when them learn that may impact common users.. but they normally prefer to wait for the result than take part in the policy development. Nothing to blame them, they have their focus for their community and we hope that some developed policy we work because we liked, will help that very community too.

Extend that presumption and you can see why variability in interest, in capacity and attention were normalised, not exceptional. Take ISOC chapters, constituting a significant membership count as ALS in RALOs around the globe. Not every ALS would have an interest in IDNs. And not every ALS could be aroused from slumber to rally around the sundry SubPro issues. There is an explanation for the participation stats. The single-issue ALS is a later evolution; those that were raised purely to participate in ICANN for names and numbers policy. Those tend to be personality driven. And, usually tied to no more than two aspects of ICANN domain name policy development. The participation measurements will always be different here, too. The systemic issues surrounding the type of organisation, its philosophy and membership drive the kinds of outcomes for attention, interest and engagement we see. We could certainly wish it but see that big change we all slaving for and predicting to be just around the corner? We are 'waiting for Godot'; it is not coming. There always will be just a compact [At-Large] grouping of those who care overall about the domain name system policy issues. And in that compact there will be variability in the caring for this or that issue. The challenge is to continually recruit to refresh this one. There is an even smaller number who care enough to invest the amount of time needed for effective contribution to policy development. We have a winner when they are identified early from the previous grouping and then enabled in the ways the CPWG operations are attempting to. It is what it is.

When Glenn McKnight was Chair of Naralo And I was Secretariat what we did is to reach out via email and phone to all our ALSES and Individual members and see how we could get people active. Often it was that they felt inundated with all the email and thus tuned out, but it was also that a change in leadership in their ALS meant that the new reps lacked an orientation to ICANN and At Large. It also was that they did not know where to start. This is why we started the survey to ask them what their issues were, what concerns they had and to try and find way to get them active on issues that they cared about. We increased engagement in the NARALO monthly meetings from low percentages to about 60% and higher. Now with the Pandemic we are using our monthly meetings to educate our members about key issues facing At Large and having key presentations for 45 out of the 60 minutes. The meetings still have high attendance and we are also building up the capacity of our members.

I’m not sure I understand them but I will endeavor to do so. If people were told that their opinions didn’t matter or they were prevented from expressing them then I would agree that is a problem. If they were expressed and failed to take hold, that is more complex. If it is your notion that there was a kind of “silent majority” that, had we heard from them, WOULD have supported those divergent opinions then I would also agree we need a way to see those hands raised. I continue to be a fan of polling, such as can be embedded in a Loomio or Slack thread so that our “temperature of the room” calculations are not just based on who talks the most. Sadly, even when we poll in Zoom, on a call, participation is often lacking. If people cannot even be bothered to click on a button to participate, we have an awfully difficult task “coaxing” them to speak up, as you say. The cynic in me believes that many people are “on” calls to get their attendance numbers up and aren’t even paying attention to the discussion. I’m highly motivated to hear all voices within the At-Large and I believe we can do more to support those for whom English is not their first language. I am open to evidence and practical suggestions. THIS conversation was about leadership roles within the ALAC, however, and I’m quite certain that putting someone in a position of leadership doesn’t necessarily imply we will hear more from that person. We have plenty of silent participants on the ALAC as well. I don’t think leadership should be a function of seniority per se but it SHOULD reflect a willingness to do the work. Consequently, we need to find solutions to greater participation in the rank and file work of the At-Large, in order to identify more diverse candidates for leadership. That’s my opinion. As for whether “all we do” falls within our roles, this might be where we disagree. I see an inordinate amount of discussion on process, rules of procedure and just basic grousing. These discussions are WAY out of proportion to our actual work. In fact, I suspect if I compared the amount of text generated by these conversations and compared it to the amount of substantive outputs by the At-Large the results would be shocking. I’m not just talking about public comments here. I’m talking about outreach materials, communications plans, social media, etc. Output. Any organization that spends more cycles on self-evaluation than it does on output, which I believe is the case with the At-Large, has a serious problem. I confess, I’m more focused on THAT problem at the moment because we are in a period of intense scrutiny, because we just came off an adverse review, we’re taking on the contracted parties on DNS Abuse, and there is a long held belief that we cannot get out of our own way. So, when I say I’m interested in diverse opinions, with regards to our “roles,” I mean our outputs. He thinks we should be saying this, she thinks we should be saying that, let’s resolve it. THOSE are the conversations that matter most. Certainly, how we organize ourselves to have those conversations matters and how we make sure that all voices are heard in those conversations matters. It just seems to me that moving unheard voices around the organization, should be a lower priority. I hope that makes sense. I am happy to follow up offline.

I am sure everything we are doing fall within these two areas. Or is there anything that we do that doesn't.? However, if you insist I give examples, I give one as an illustration just so that you know that I know what am talking about: 1. Diverse opinions about ATLAS III reports 2. Divers opinions on ARIWG. Above are just examples. I would now ask you this: For the next ICANN meeting. I know you have written and sort for speakers. Can you think of how many of those speakers you reached out too bring in the diversity we talked about? You don't need to answer just think about it and give yourself an honest answer. These things can be frustrating for alot of people and the best way out for most is to" leave ' them 'to do it since they would not listen. After all am volunteering my time". That is why we sometimes have the numbers at meetings but they don't have the courage to raise thier hands and speak. But I think it's better we listen so that we don't become Belarus. I rest my case here and I talk no more on this thread. A word is enough for the wise.

If I begin to list examples it would definitely take me hours to type them out. More importantly it is important that we make sure we have a truly multi-stakeholder platform where we learn to listen to a diverse opinion. Yes that is not necessarily a part to leadership but sometimes it takes conscious efforts to bring people out of thier comfort zone especially when your have dominating factors.It's not about how long it's about how well.

I totally agree with you. It is a multistakeholder platform and I often wonder when we talk about "expertise", and "values". I wonder what those things really mean in a multistakeholder platform because if there is something like an association of thick /unintelligent/idiots internet users they also have the right to be represented and be listened too. In terms of values, Yes I agree with values if we are talking about fairness, transparency and justice and rule of law but otherwise, I disagree. I usually give this example: talk about having CCTV cameras in kids classroom. Some parents in some part of the world would never allow it cos of privacy concerns and concerns about who would be having access to it but in some part of the world, the parents are asking for it because that is the best way to keep the child safe in the classroom. For the former group, they see a lot of harm being done by the paedophile just watching but the later group the abuse is actually being carried out by the teachers or fellow pupil in class, so the parent is more comfortable with a 3rd party watching and reporting back to them. Both categories of parents have different values about CCTV based on their society but they are both right. Furthermore, We are all volunteers, some can afford to volunteer 18hrs a day while others can only volunteer 1 hour a day. This should not be a problem cos it meant to be complimentary. The main problem is the culture of silence and dominance. There is also an active tool in place to silent any diverse opinion. @Jonathan Zuck<mailto:JZuck@innovatorsnetwork.org> that blocks those point of entries.

Availability of time is another major factor as well. You only have to look at what Joanna and Jonathan have done over the past year to see how much work is involved in their role as Vice Chairs. There is geographic representation because there must be a member of each region in the team but while there are many who could be selected, we can only choose ONE person from each region for this particular group. The nominations have been proposed and although there have been no other nominations, there will still be a vote taken by the ALAC as its final decision. The ALT+ group was created as an opportunity for anyone on the ALAC as well as RALO leadership teams to demonstrate their knowledge of important At-Large issues and their ability to participate and contribute at a leadership level. Those who are worthy of candidacy for leadership roles often demonstrate and are noted for their participation and contributions to discussions that add value to the work of At-Large. This is what people remember and are willing to propose their nominations for leadership roles based on their experiences of who they believe could do the job of making recommendations to the ALAC that will benefit our community.

[image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *ICANN Board Approves Two-Year Extension of President and CEO’s Term <https://newsalerts.icann.org/U23g00E0PR0Cd3022N000A8>* 09 October 2020 LOS ANGELES – 9 October 2020 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced today that the ICANN Board of Directors has approved <https://newsalerts.icann.org/f003d0P08B002R22CNE4g00> a two-year extension to President and CEO Göran Marby's Executive Services Agreement term. It will now expire on 23 May 2024. "I'm pleased to announce that the ICANN Board has voted to offer Göran a two-year extension to his current contract," said Maarten Botterman, Chairman of the ICANN Board. "Göran is a CEO who has excelled in reaching out and working closely with the community and Board to address the challenges and opportunities we face." In its rationale for the resolution <https://newsalerts.icann.org/f003d0P08B002R22CNE4g00>, the Board noted that Marby is "dedicated to ICANN's mission, including supporting the ICANN Community in its policy development work, and is very committed to continuing help ensure and solidify the understanding of ICANN's role within the Internet community." An extension to May 2024 will provide continuity in leadership during the initial implementation of the FY21-FY25 Operating and Financial Plan, as well as the ongoing work over its first several years of operation. "In the nearly four and a half years that I have served as ICANN President and CEO, it has been my honor and privilege to lead the ICANN organization staff and work hand-in-hand with the ICANN Board and community. I thank the ICANN org staff for their commitment, support, and exceptional work," said Marby. "ICANN provides an important service to the global Internet community, and our work is never done. I am humbled by the Board's trust in me, and look forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead." About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you have to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique, so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world.

Fwd: ICANN News Alert -- ICANN Root Server Cluster in Singapore Now Live
by Maureen Hilyard Oct. 8, 2020

Oct. 8, 2020

[image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *ICANN Root Server Cluster in Singapore Now Live <https://newsalerts.icann.org/V8RP000d420E200CP02glN0>* 08 October 2020 *SINGAPORE – 8 October 2020 –* The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) today announced the successful activation of the ICANN Managed Root Server (IMRS) cluster in Singapore. This cluster, composed of dozens of servers with substantial Internet connectivity, will help to increase the root server capacity for the Asia Pacific region and bolster the resiliency of the entire Root Server System. Adding an IMRS Cluster in Singapore "The Singapore IMRS cluster will be our fourth cluster, in addition to two in North America and one in Europe," said David Conrad, ICANN SVP and Chief Technology Officer. "Our existing, smaller IMRS sites in the Asia Pacific region already receive twice as many queries as Europe, the next-busiest region. Adding an IMRS cluster in Singapore is both strategic and a good use of ICANN org resources." As documented in the OCTO-008 <https://newsalerts.icann.org/r00m0E240RQP8NC2g0020d0> paper, global Domain Name System (DNS) traffic increased by nearly 30 percent during the current COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The IMRS cluster in Singapore will enable more of the queries originating in Asia Pacific to be answered regardless of the behaviour of networks or servers in other regions. In the event of an attack resulting in significant additional traffic globally, the extra capacity provided by the Singapore cluster will absorb the traffic and help to mitigate the attack. Queries in the region can then continue to be answered, thus reducing the risk of downtime caused by an inability to query the top of the DNS name hierarchy. Domain Name System queries and root servers Root servers respond to initial DNS lookup requests made by DNS resolvers generally operated by Internet service providers. For all other queries, the root server will respond with either a referral to the appropriate top-level domain (TLD) name server or an error response (e.g. to indicate a non-existent TLD). For example, a query sent to a root server by a DNS resolver for "company.example" will elicit a response that directs the DNS resolver to query one of the name servers for the ".example" TLD. The root name server system is comprised of over 1,000 instances operated by 12 independent organizations, including ICANN. Each root server is made up of a number of independent machines at multiple locations. The IMRS is made up of nearly 170 large and small sites across the world. The machines at the large sites are known as clusters, while the ones at small sites are known as instances. ICANN's Asia Pacific regional office is located in Singapore, where the Internet infrastructure is highly developed and robust, making it well-suited to support an IMRS cluster. "We are very grateful to the Singapore government for its support in establishing the IMRS cluster," said Conrad. For more information about the IMRS cluster in Singapore, please refer to David Conrad's blog <https://newsalerts.icann.org/NR00nC2d0002g4E0RN0082P>.

REMINDER: Making ICANN Public Meetings Work for You From: Göran Marby, ICANN President and CEO The ICANN Board is seeking community feedback to assess the effectiveness of our virtual Public Meetings, the improvements that the org should make to its support for the community’s work at meetings, and any other aspects that should be integrated into our in-person meeting strategy going forward. ICANN org is sending a survey to our Supporting Organization (SO) and Advisory Committee (AC) chairs to spark a discussion within each group, as this discussion belongs to the community. The chairs will then coordinate and consolidate their respective group’s feedback. The Board will also host a session at ICANN69 to continue the conversation with the community about our meeting strategy. The survey will serve as a guidepost for those discussions.

Re: [ALAC] [ALAC-Members] 2021 Liaisons
by Maureen Hilyard Oct. 8, 2020

Oct. 8, 2020

Dear Abdulkarim If there is anyone who wishes to volunteer for the understudy positions, in response to or despite my recommendations, they are more than entitled to do so. However, because of the special nature of the liaison positions, and the particular character of the persons required by the other organisations, not everyone who volunteers might be considered suitable either by the ALAC or by the receiving organisation, even as an understudy. The current position holders already have the trust of the organisations to which they are assigned and therefore I have charged them to seek people that they feel would best represent the At-Large perspective within another ICANN organisation with integrity and respect. I think that they are the best fit to make a recommendation to me and to the ALAC. I was in such a position having been the At-Large Liaison to the ccNSO for 5 years, one before I was appointed to the ALAC, and I made the recommendation to the ALAC of my successor. And, Barrack has done a great job serving both At-Large and the ccNSO. The other Liaisons have also proved their worth in their assigned organisations. Nevertheless, at this particular point in time, it is up to the ALAC to make the final decision to accept my final recommendation or not. The vote will be out soon. I hope this helps.
