Motion to amend the ALAC Rules of Procedure
by Alan Greenberg Oct. 8, 2018

Oct. 8, 2018

As I am about to relinquish the honor of being the Chair of the ALAC, I would like to leave things in reasonable order. There are a number of overdue changes needed to the Rules of Procedure (RoP) and associated documents. To summarize, our overall rule set includes: Rules of Procedure: We have a backlog of correction, clarifications and changes to address issues that have arisen or to bring the RoP in line with current practices. Adjunct Document 01: "Position Description for ALAC Members, Liaisons and Appointees" I expect to be considered by the ARIWG in relation to Issue 16 (Metrics) Adjunct Document 02: "Metrics and Remedial Actions for ALAC Members and Appointees" was never written but to the extent it is needed, it should also be considered in relation to Issue 16. Adjunct Document 03: "At-Large Board Member Selection Implementation" should not need any immediate attention. The Selection process was referenced in the Review (Issue 6) but our proposal that was accepted by the Board disagreed with the Review Team and said that we will not address it in the Review Implementation. We may of course re-open that discussion at any point in the future if changes is needed. Adjunct Document 04: "At-Large Structure Framework" will no doubt be reviewed and likely changed as part of addressing Review Issue 2 (ALS and Individual Membership). ALAC E-mail Guide: There are a number of corrections and changes needed to being the document in line with current ALAC practice (and reduce routine work). Accordingly I am proposing a set of changes to the ALAC Rules of Procedure and the ALAC E-mail Guide. The RoP call for at least 21 calendar days notice and and this message will allow us to vote on the amendments at the Wrap-Up Session in Barcelona. There will also be time allocated for discussion in Barcelona, but hopefully any need for change can be brought up and resolved via e-mail prior to travel. I will do a very brief overview of the changes on the ALAC call later today, and we can have a dedicated call if people wish. Attached is the redline revision of the RoP as well as a Change Log explaining each of the changes. Also attached is the redline E-mail Guide. All of the changes are either clear corrections or changes to reflect current practice (such as including the any ALT Advisor in the ALT or ALAC lists, and including key working group chairs in the ALAC list).

Re: [ALAC] Fwd: Motion to amend the ALAC Rules of Procedure
by Alan Greenberg Oct. 5, 2018

My personal views: - Uniform criteria/rights across RALOS is admirable, but is it worth the problems it might cause getting there. I note that at the moment, we do not have uniform ALS rules across RALOs (for example different voting rules for ALSes). - Do we really want to have the ALAC vote in individual memberships? Or have criteria so complex it justifies something called Due Diligence? In any case, this is an issue for the ARIWG. If and when rules are set, they will be put into the appropriate documents. This is a cleanup process today, not a philosophical change. As I mentioned already, I will look at 1.1 and try to make sure it makes sense.

Fwd: Motion to amend the ALAC Rules of Procedure
by Ricardo Holmquist Oct. 3, 2018

Oct. 3, 2018

Good day Alan, Thanks so much for the revision. I have one comment for the Introduction, where a phrase concerning the approval of the Individual members seems to be missing (Being it an RALO approval, an ALAC Approval, a Committee Approval or what the RALO establishes in its own RoP). About the Email guide, attached is a screen capture of the At Large email list (capture email guide), there is a missing "a" on the "may de-subscribe" line. It then its repeated in the rest of the lists from there on. Also on the Email Guide, almost at the end, in one of the corrections (capture email guide 2) it should say ALAC-Internal, and not just ALAC. In the same guide, about all the RALO lists (and also the At Large list), there is no direct inclusion of the Individual members. I understand that for EURALO (Not sure how the other RALO works, and LACRALO is still deciding how), it works like an ALS, where a representative is named to vote on EURALO instances, but I will also understand that in any RALO if an individual is asking to be a member, is not because he wants a "virtual" ALS, but because he wants to interact directly. Yes, I am aware anyone can auto subscribe, but it is just another step in the recognition of the individual users to include him in the list once approved.

by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Sept. 26, 2018

Sept. 26, 2018

Hi, Remmy, thanks for the question. The reason why NPOC hasn't been included in the tool is because based the list of NPOC members at https://www.npoc.org/about/members/ doesn't list any country/territory information. If NPOC does update this table to include another column for the county/territory where the organisation is from, then it would be straightforward to bring the NPOC information to the tool.

CCWG Accountability WS2
by Alan Greenberg Sept. 25, 2018

Sept. 25, 2018

As you might recall, we were scheduled to endorse the final report of the CCWG-Accountability WS2 in Panama, but we delayed that because the Board had expressed some reservations about several of the recommendations. These concerns were addressed by providing implementation guidelines. Accordingly, I will be proposing that the ALAC endorse the report. However, I note that in our comment to the last Public Comment on the consolidated report we said "The recommendations formulated in the various sections of this report all have merit in advancing ICANN's transparency and accountability. However, taken together, they may amount to a daunting burden on ICANN Org and its volunteer community. For this reason ALAC recommends that as the recommendations are implemented, ICANN takes an approach to minimize the impact and work associated with following these recommendations." I would suggest that we repeat this caveat in our ratification of the report. Subject to any comments received in the rest of this week (by Friday), I will open a BigPulse vote to ratify the CCWG-Accountability WS2 report next week. For your convenience, I am attaching the abbreviated report with the recommendations, the full report including all annexes and the implementation plan addressing the Board's concerns. Alan
