Analysis of the Impact of At-Large Submissions to the Budget and Ops Plan Framework Consultation
by ICANN AtLarge Staff June 9, 2009

June 9, 2009

Dear Community: As requested, herewith an email from Kevin Wilson related to the above. We hope this is useful to you in considering the draft Budget currently posted for public comment. ----------------------------------- Dear At Large Community: I understand that there has been strong interest in knowing the impact on the FY10 Operating Plan and Budget from the feedback provided. The short answer is "a lot". The longer answer is we read and analyzed all feedback, and we worked hard to analyze and synthesize the information. To see some of the analyses performed, attached is the analysis of the ALAC comments which shows 21 of 39 comments have been included in the recently posted Travel Guidelines or FY10 Operating Plan and Budget. Also attached are the recently posted documents with highlights for impacts of At Large comments. The Board and Board Finance Committee also considers how to address the extensive, and often times conflicting, feedback received from the myriad of groups. Ultimately the Board decides on the best budget for ICANN. I look forward to more feedback on the recently posted draft FY10 Budget, in our upcoming conference calls, and in Sydney. Kevin Wilson CFO ICANN Kevin.wilson(a)icann.org -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Gisella Gruber-White, Marie-Helene Bouchoms ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org

Re: [ALAC] [ALAC-Announce] BRIEFING TODAY: Discussion of Final IRT Report - 4 June 1400 UTC
by Evan Leibovitch June 4, 2009

June 4, 2009

So we're going back to just a few days' notice on these briefings? Has nothing been learned? It really does seem like ICANN wants the pretence of holding these briefings, but doing them in such a way to minimize participation. I just missed it.. again. Being out of Internet reach for a few days should not eliminate people from being able to participate. - Evan

With a bit of luck, I will have Internet access and my battery will not run out. So I will be online on skype/adobe chat during the ALAC meeting. I can't pay full time attention to the ALAC meeting, but I will try to keep an eye on it. Alan

ALAC voting processes
by Alan Greenberg May 25, 2009

May 25, 2009

I will not be able to join the meeting this week, but I wanted to put my comments on the "vote" decision here. They will not come as a surprise to those who have heard me talk about this before. We use BigPulse to "emulate" voting in person in a public meeting with others present in the room. We should make every effort to come as close to the face-to-face vote as possible. That means: - As the vote is proceeding, we can see how many people have voted. - As the vote is proceeding, we can see who has voted. - As the vote is proceeding, we can see how each person has voted. - The order of the options should NOT change as the vote proceeds. - Outsiders who cannot vote can look at the interim results. I see no reason to allow people to change their vote given the short time we have for voting, but I have no really strong feelings about this. In a face-to-face vote, one can raise their hand a bit late, or lower it before the hands are counted. I think that the visibility of such a pole will encourage everyone to vote, and allow others in a region to "remind" people who have not yet voted. Alan
