Re: [ALAC] [ALAC-Announce] ALAC Vote on the Rec6 CWG Report
by Evan Leibovitch Sept. 28, 2010

Sept. 28, 2010

Hi there. As the Chair of ALAC's gTLD Working Group and the ALAC liaision to the cross-community group that created this report, I am generally OK with its conclusions and support its endorsement. However, I note that there has been no discussion of this in advance of the vote being called. Further, I am advising creation of a Minority Report in which At-Large is able to state our clear intentions in the many areas of the report that indicated divergence or incomplete consensus amongst the participants. There are a few issues that were important to us -- and endorsed by all ALAC participants -- that were opposed by other interests. I ask that any correspondence to the Board of ICANN staff that conveys the the endorsement of the report (providing, of course, that this vote succeeds) to be accompanied by an indication that ALAC is considering production of a minority report. I would further invite anyone interested in this to participate in the new-gTLD Working Group where I hope the drafting of such a report will take place for ALAC consideration, and any questions or concerns by ALAC members to be expressed openly. Having said that, I believe that this report is a very important step forward. It has successfully revisited a component of the new gTLD application process which At-Large generally found repugnant, and our views have been well represented within the new policy recommendations. It proposes to eliminate objections on Morality and Public Order to would be adjudicated by a subcontracted "Dispute Resolution Service Provider". It does allow for communities and governments to submit objections on strings that would be widely objectionable; however, such objections would have to be contrary to international law and treaties. And, instead of a third-party contracted process of morality judgement, all decisions on acceptability must be made directly by the Board which can only deny applications (based on string objections) with a super-majority vote. It also -- as first recommended long ago in the gTLD statement of the At-Large Summit -- calls for slight modifications of the Community Objection process and the role of the Independent Objector, to compensate for the elimination of elimination of "Morality and Public Order" objections while still enabling opposition to (very) widely-objected strings. This was quite the task, bringing together ALAC, GAC and GNSO in what I believe to be a first-ever-of-its-kind consultation. Its productivity and results exceeded my expectations, especially given an extremely compressed timeframe that required four hours per week of conference calls and sometimes more. ALAC was well represented and appears to be treated as a respected and nearly-equal partner at the table. It's a good precedent that, I hope, may encourage such forums to be used to bring sanity to ICANN's policy-making process going forward. - Evan On 21 September 2010 18:06, ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> wrote: > Dear All, > > The Chair of the ALAC requested the Staff to start an online vote on the Rec6 CWG report.

Modification of statement submitted regarding At-Large Director Bylaws
by Alan Greenberg Aug. 26, 2010

Aug. 26, 2010

During a discussion on some of the details of the selection process on the ALAC list, I realized that there was a problem with my suggested wording for ARTICLE VI, Section 4(2). Specifically, under my wording, if a person (for example, and ALAC member) submits a SoI to the BCEC, that person can no longer participate in the selection process or vote. That would be true even if that person was eliminated from the slate and not one of the final candidates. I suggest the following change with the new wording in upper case: No person who serves in any capacity (including as a liaison) on the At-Large Advisory Committee, or who holds the position of chair of a RALO, shall simultaneously serve as a Director or liaison to the Board. If such a person submits a Statement of Interest to be considered as a candidate for Board Seat 15, the person shall not, following such submission, participate in any discussion of, or vote by the At-Large Advisory Committee, RALO chairs or any of the constituent At-Large Advisory Committee sub-committees relating to the selection of the person to hold Board Seat 15 until the selection process has been completed. In the event that a person serving on the At-Large Advisory Committee, or who holds the position of chair of a RALO, submits a Statement of Interest to be considered as a candidate for Board Seat 15, the RALO for the region that the person represents may select a replacement for purposes of the Committee's selection process. In the event that a person is serving as a Liaison to the At-Large Advisory Committee, the group or entity that selected the person may select a replacement for purposes of the Committee's selection process. SHOULD A PERSON SUBJECT TO THIS SECTION NOT BE LISTED ON THE PUBLISHED FINAL SLATE OF CANDIDATES, THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION NO LONGER APPLY. I understand that it is too late for this new wording to be included in the formal comments, but should my overall comment to this section be acted upon, the new addition will remove a possible disenfranchisement.

by Alan Greenberg Aug. 26, 2010

Aug. 26, 2010

The process is already very complicated due to the setup that has been adopted by At-Large. Once a person is not on the slate, there is no reason that they cannot be re-enfranchised. I am not sure how any voting can be neutral, as by its very definition it requires people (or organizations if RALO's direct votes) to make very personal decisions. And whether such a person will be replaced in the interim is not at all clear. Although I have suggested such a mechanism in my initial comments, they were not part of the proposed Bylaw revision for all voters.
