Fwd: ICANN News Alert -- ICANN Publishes FY20 Financial Results
by Maureen Hilyard Oct. 15, 2020

[image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *ICANN Publishes FY20 Financial Results <https://newsalerts.icann.org/JR2PC20J2E0Nd480dg00000>* 15 October 2020 LOS ANGELES – 15 October 2020 – Today, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced financial results for the fourth quarter of the financial year ending 30 June 2020, which reflects ICANN's unaudited financials for the full fiscal year. ICANN remains in a strong financial position despite the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The domain name market was resilient in the second half of fiscal year 2020 (FY20), despite the pandemic. As a result, ICANN's funding is USD 0.6 million (0.4%) higher than the budget. However, ICANN is uncertain if these market trends will continue. ICANN's expenses were USD 11.1 million (8%) lower than budgeted, resulting in a net excess of USD 14.6 million. This was a result of several factors, including: - USD 6.2 million savings from the travel & meetings category, as a result of holding ICANN67 and ICANN68 as virtual Public Meetings as well as travel restrictions to other meetings. - Lower personnel expenses, primarily due to slowed recruitment during the pandemic. ICANN was able to cover unplanned expenditures while still spending less than budgeted. These expenditures included Information Transparency Initiative (ITI) costs delayed from FY19; costs associated with the .ORG change of control request; and installation of the ICANN Managed Root Server (IMRS) cluster in Singapore. ICANN's funds under management increased by USD 15.8 million when compared to the previous year, largely due to net excess and investment gains despite market volatility. Investment accounts are comprised of proceeds that ICANN holds from the New Generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) Program auctions of last resort, New gTLD Program application fees, the Reserve Fund, and the Operating Fund. Replenishing ICANN's Reserve Fund to achieve at least 12 months of operating expenses by FY25 has been a top priority, and at the end of August 2020, the Reserve Fund balance reached the minimum target level <https://newsalerts.icann.org/tdEg2204C80Pe00NR00002K>. FY20 Reports Published The following reports are now available: - *FY20 Q4 Unaudited Financials <https://newsalerts.icann.org/O040g02E0200NCPL0f0d28R>* : These reports are posted every quarter as a summarized update of ICANN's year-to-date financials. The FY20 Q4 report reflects ICANN's unaudited financials for the full fiscal year. ICANN expects to publish the audited FY20 financial statements as soon as the independent auditor has completed review. - *Country code top-level domain (ccTLD) Contributions <https://newsalerts.icann.org/JR2PC20M2E0Ng480dg00000>:* Voluntary contributions paid to ICANN from ccTLD registries are listed by ICANN fiscal year and reflect the fiscal year for which the contribution was intended, regardless of the date the contribution was issued. - *Funding by Source <https://newsalerts.icann.org/L202ER0020N40Ch8g0P0d0N>:* This report includes funding by customer and customer class. - *Board Expenses Report* <https://newsalerts.icann.org/CRg00i0OP04C0Nd82202E00> – This report includes reimbursements and compensation paid to (or paid on behalf of) the ICANN Board of Directors.

NEW: Enhancing the Effectiveness of ICANN’s Multistakeholder Model Moves into Implementation Author: Maarten Botterman, Chair, ICANN Board of Directors Last year, the ICANN Board initiated a project <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001C7HamTWuHfsu4tDFWMnm5srVPfLKq9P3Y8ASZRSoRsKQ…> aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of ICANN's multistakeholder model – one of the strategic objectives outlined in ICANN's Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years (FY) 2021-2025 <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001C7HamTWuHfsu4tDFWMnm5srVPfLKq9P3Y8ASZRSoRsKQ…>. This effort is critical to ensuring that the multistakeholder model is able to evolve and meet the ever-changing needs of ICANN's global community. In June, the Board posted its paper, "Enhancing the Effectiveness of ICANN's Multistakeholder Model – Next Steps," for Public Comment <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001C7HamTWuHfsu4tDFWMnm5srVPfLKq9P3Y8ASZRSoRsKQ…>. The paper lays out a comprehensive plan for continuous improvement of the multistakeholder model. Following the close of the Public Comment period in August, the Board worked to incorporate the community's input <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001C7HamTWuHfsu4tDFWMnm5srVPfLKq9P3Y8ASZRSoRsKQ…> into an updated version of the paper, which is available here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001C7HamTWuHfsu4tDFWMnm5srVPfLKq9P3Y8ASZRSoRsKQ…> . With the ICANN Board paper now finalized, this project is moving into the 'implementation planning' phase, where the plan will be converted into a set of proposed actions, with resource allocation, and will be scheduled for implementation according to the agreed-upon level of priority.

For ICANN67, the campaign asked participants to share photos of their workspace; for ICANN68, we asked for photos of the city from where participants joined the meeting. For ICANN69, the campaign is called #ICANNintermission. This time, we are asking members of the ICANN community, ICANN Board, and ICANN org to send us photos of what they like to do between sessions (yoga, going for a run, playing with their pets, playing soccer with their kids, etc.). We need a few photos to get the campaign started! Photos need to be in landscape mode, (see example above) preferably with the subject in the center to crop the image. Please provide the city and any other information you want to let us know. Send photos and information to icanncontent(a)icann.org. 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.

Here are the groups that have submitted topics: - At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ga-SiXpBzi6D0POlMYWWH_rkiSHmHLewGBDF02-nxMRO…> - Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ga-SiXpBzi6D0POlMYWWH_rkiSHmHLewGBDF02-nxMRO…> - Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ga-SiXpBzi6D0POlMYWWH_rkiSHmHLewGBDF02-nxMRO…> - Commercial Stakeholder Group (CSG) <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ga-SiXpBzi6D0POlMYWWH_rkiSHmHLewGBDF02-nxMRO…> - Contracted Parties House (CPH) <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ga-SiXpBzi6D0POlMYWWH_rkiSHmHLewGBDF02-nxMRO…> - Noncommercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG) <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ga-SiXpBzi6D0POlMYWWH_rkiSHmHLewGBDF02-nxMRO…> - Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ga-SiXpBzi6D0POlMYWWH_rkiSHmHLewGBDF02-nxMRO…> - Root Server System Advisory Committee (RSSAC) <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ga-SiXpBzi6D0POlMYWWH_rkiSHmHLewGBDF02-nxMRO…> - Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ga-SiXpBzi6D0POlMYWWH_rkiSHmHLewGBDF02-nxMRO…> REMINDER: ICANN69 Social Media Sharing Campaign To get the community excited about and engaged with ICANN69, ICANN is launching a new social media campaign <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ga-SiXpBzi6D0POlMYWWH_rkiSHmHLewGBDF02-nxMRO…> . For ICANN67, the campaign asked participants to share photos of their workspace; for ICANN68, we asked for photos of the city from where participants joined the meeting. For ICANN69, the campaign is called #ICANNintermission. This time, we are asking members of the ICANN community, ICANN Board, and ICANN org to send us photos of what they like to do between sessions (yoga, going for a run, playing with their pets, playing soccer with their kids, etc.). We need a few photos to get the campaign started! Photos need to be in landscape mode, (see example above) preferably with the subject in the center to crop the image. Please provide the city and any other information you want to let us know. Send photos and information to icanncontent(a)icann.org. 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.

I wanted to be part of girl guides. i never understood why any guy would want to be with a bunch of guys:) This set of badges would be associated with our core deliverables so they spend time in each of the core areas ie. Some time in Social Media. some time with the TTF, some time shadowing the policy folks ( similar to what ARIN and others do in mentoring a policy sheppard) I would see someone emerging with a good general knowledge and they then can choose which part of Atlarge they want to focus upon.

I now imagined if At-Large is just the same group of activists. There are no ALSes. There are only these people. Experienced and committed leaders. And so, in order to bring end-users interests into the Policy development process, this group goes to external structures (the same ISOC chapters, Internet organizations, and user communities, lawyers, technical communities, researchers, academy) with surveys, questions, and requests to provide data for forming a summary of each case of PDP which discussed and commented on. And with coordinated work close to GSE this is seen probably a much more effective way to introduce regional interests and end-user voices into specific activities related not to the IG, not to content issues (where discussions are often held within the framework of ICANN meetings), but to domains and IP addresses area. In reality we have these structures with zero (for many) contributions. For numbers and statistics this is great. For moments when we need getting them involved - often impossible. We have them, but we can`t use this "ownership".

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.

For two periods I was LACRALO Chair. My biggest task was to get active participation. Our monthly meetings with 45 ALSs, had an attendance of seven or eight representatives. It was my first fight and I managed to increase my participation until I reached 31 representatives out of 48 ALSs. But there was still that participation to be active.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. There are peculiarities that must be accepted. Some are oppotuned to be born into a welfare state others it's survival for the fittest. What matters most is passion and commitment.

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.

Not sure why the community didn't respond and nominate or self nominate. The job is a thankless job with a ton of work and responsibility. It's not like the paid ICANN Board position, its an unpaid position ( this is another major issue that is an inherent disincentive to younger generation members) We need to have an intelligent discussion of these issues.

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. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation and a community with participants from all over the world.

To reach another person on the Internet, you need 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. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.
