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.

Thank you Cheryl for forwarding the message of Jean Jacques. I would like to second every word you wrote to Jean Jacques, and I can attest that he was the one (with Katim) who pushed strongly to make our AFRALO outreach and capacity building project happen. Even if we didn’t succeed to implement it in Nairobi, Jean Jacques did the necessary work to make it likely implemented in 2011. Thank you very very much Jean Jacques, and I really regret your leaving the ICANN board. You were one of the most supportive of the At-Large views among the Board members. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tijani BEN JEMAA Directeur exécutif Fédération Méditerranéenne des Associations d'Internet Phone : + 216 70 825 231 Mobile : + 216 98 330 114 Fax : + 216 70 825 231 ------------------------------------------------------------------ -----Message d'origine----- De : alac-bounces(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:alac-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] De la part de Cheryl Langdon-Orr Envoyé : lundi 29 novembre 2010 20:56 À : Jean-Jacques Subrenat Cc : ICANN AtLarge Staff; ALAC Working List; At-Large Worldwide Objet : Re: [ALAC] ICANN Board, Seat 15.

I explain this in the hope of changing some attitudes -- not about Director, but on larger issues surrounding the very nature of At-Large. Here is why I take this statement very personally. I work for a University, but I also own my own consulting firm and I am a partner in a startup venture. On travel visa applications my occupation is just listed as "businessman" or "consultant". My name has also been put forward to become one of the coming year's ALAC Officers, which certainly qualifies as an "At-Large leadership position". So I ask... Am I one of these "people from the Business Constituency" who needs to be balanced by others from a "user's constituency"? What views have I expressed in any policy work that would lead anyone to believe that I don't advocate from a user's perspective by virtue of my being a businessman? To what extent do my views need to be balanced ... and by what? I am simply making the point here is that drawing such lines in At-Large between "business" and "non-business" is needlessly divisive and impedes our ability to make progress. While Chair of NARALO I made sure that there were Conflict of Interest guidelines and that all individual users have to submit Statements of Interest. Employees, owners and agents of contracted parties may not serve any NARALO leadership position. I don't know what other regions did but that was our approach. As far as I am concerned, a business association (not primarily involved with Internet infrastructure business) has as much right to be an ALS as a non-governmental agency or ISOC chapter, and deserves as much respect for its views. That is what At-Large is all about. End-users take many forms and it it dangerous to spend too much effort segmenting them. The only business users that concerns At-Large are those that have contractual relationships with ICANN, those who want to have such relationships, and their resellers and agents. IMO we need to acknowledge that At-Large means essentially everyone who is *not* a contracted party. We're all end-users and our voices all count.The president of Citibank has to use his computer just like you or me, and is affected by spam and phishing as much as us. IMO segmenting end-users, and going as far as saying the views of some users must be "balanced" by others, is what I find bothersome. Please reconsider this approach ... not just with regard to the Board member, but towards At-Large in general. - Evan
