REMINDER: Interaction with the ICANN Board during ICANN69 From: Maarten Botterman, ICANN Board Chair Dear ICANN Community Group Chairs, Please reply no later than Monday, 5 October 2020. While 2020 has proven challenging and likely very different from what we were all expecting when we last saw each other almost a year ago in Montréal, the Board and I keep being impressed and grateful for your continued dedication to ICANN’s mission. The Board still values its dialogue with your groups and is very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 22nd and first ever virtual Annual General Meeting that will take place between 13-22 October 2020. As you keep working on the format for ICANN69, we would like to start preparing for community dialogue with the Board. As per what we did in Montréal and virtually for ICANN67, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We will also publish the list of questions or topics received using this digest as a successful tool for improving transparency and allowing other groups to deepen their own understanding of their peers’ point of view on different issues. As for time allocation, per what we did previously, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board has chosen the following topic to have an open discussion with you: - Enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model - key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation, you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation and the work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model, such as the Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) Final Report and work on prioritization and budgeting). We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations, board-ops-team(a)icann.org <#m_-5250977910965265470_>, your single topic or list of questions, in order of priority, no later than Monday, 5 October 2020 or sooner. For your information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively and virtually. Best regards, Maarten Botterman ICANN Board Chair REMINDER: ICANN69 Internet Access Reimbursement Program Pilot ICANN previously announced <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001o5j0lkXkxixiwIO9_QC8w6-8eilVLdk9WeC9-lkVEK72…> the Pandemic Internet Access Program Pilot for ICANN69, following the ICANN Board resolution in support of the pilot program.

Maureen, please do not say things like "But what replaces our more accustomed reward for effort - of attending an ICANN meeting in some exotic place around the world?"!! I am sure that for some, it is quite true that they volunteer for the travel rewards, but it is NOT the case for many, and it reflects SO BADLY on us. I have been to MANY exotic places on ICANN's dime. only rarely have I taken the time to experience them. And I have been to MANY places that I had no interest in visiting. If every ICANN meeting were held at a Los Angeles airport hotel, my attendance would not be different, and I suspect that is the same for you. So let's not encourage the concept that we consider travel a reward.

Agreed. Although the value of our volunteer contributions is great, we need to remember a few other things. - Perhaps not for us, but for many in ICANN, what is deemed to be "volunteer" time is really being paid for by employers as parts of their jobs. Not all, but a lot. - Placing a value on what we generate is very difficult and is very mush in the eye of the beholder. - We have NO idea what it costs ICANN to support us. Despite decades of us asking, that is still the case. So although we might be able to develop a value to the contribution we made based on people's time, it is only part of the equation.

Meeting with Goran 22 September 16.00utc.
by Maureen Hilyard Sept. 18, 2020

Sept. 18, 2020

Hi everyone I noted that in the threads related to discussions with Goran (and wrt the ALAC-Board meeting at ICANN69) there were references made to matters that were raised in the Workload Survey so that I am bending towards using this interaction with Goran as an opportunity to address some of our workload issues related to ICANN meetings and our work with ICANN in general. I sent the Workload survey to Goran and others and soon after, had an opportunity to speak to it during our 1:1 discussion (as one of his normal SOAC Chair chats). He was sympathetic to the workload issues that were raised, and I asked whether perhaps ICANN should look at how they might appropriately recognise the work that is being done by some very active At-Large participants at their own cost - of precious down-time, energy, internet costs as well as the intellectual contribution they make on a weekly basis, all for the benefit of ICANN, with no expectation of compensation. Is it really acceptable in this day and age that people are expected to have such a high level of input into an important organisational output, for free? Especially in light of what many are also experiencing with regards to pandemic conditions and the impacts it is having on their daily lives? That volunteers across ICANN remain committed to this level of giving is really amazing. But what replaces our more accustomed reward for effort - of attending an ICANN meeting in some exotic place around the world? In the middle of a pandemic, do we have any answers? Another topical discussion also mentioned in the Workload survey, and which was also raised in our SOAC Chairs meeting this week, was the idea of regional meetings. Goran suggested that things may have to be different for the future of ICANN meetings. If you have any suggestions as alternatives, then I am sure that he would be happy to hear them. I am re-attaching the report in case you can't find it. The discussion should be interesting. Just to add, Leon will also be at the meeting, but he will be giving his usual update on Board activities. Maybe he will have further news on the Internet Grant. Comments welcome. Maureen

Fwd: [ICANN Community Leaders] PLEASE READ - Stakeholders/Board interaction ICANN69 VIRTUAL
by Maureen Hilyard Sept. 17, 2020

Sept. 17, 2020

A question for the Board for the ALAC- Board interaction ICANN69... .... a single topic instead of the traditional three that we usually never got through. Something deep and meaningful...any ideas? M ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Vinciane Koenigsfeld <vinciane.koenigsfeld(a)icann.org> Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2020, 3:26 am Subject: [ICANN Community Leaders] PLEASE READ - Stakeholders/Board interaction ICANN69 VIRTUAL To: so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org <so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org> Cc: Board Ops Team <board-ops-team(a)icann.org> Dear Constituency and Stakeholder Groups Chairs, *Please reply no later than Monday **5 October 2020* While 2020 has proven challenging and likely very different from what we were all expecting when we last saw each other, almost a year ago in Montreal, the Board and I keep being impressed and grateful for your continued dedication to ICANN’s mission. The Board still values its dialogue with your Groups and is very much looking forward to engaging with you during our *2**2nd and first ever virtual AGM* *that will take place between **13-22 October 2020*. As you keep working on the format for ICANN69, we would like to start preparing for the Community Dialogue with the Board. As per what we did in Montreal and virtually for ICANN67, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We will also publish the list of questions or topics received with the entire Community using the Policy digest as it was a successful tool for improving transparency and allow the groups to deepen their own understanding of their peers’ point of views on different issues. As for time allocation, per what we did previously, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board has chosen the following topic to have an open discussion with you: - Enhancing the effectiveness of the Multistakeholder model: key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation, and work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the MSM (such as the ATRT3 report and work on prioritization and budgeting). We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations ( board-ops-team(a)icann.org) your single topic or the list of questions, in order of priority, no later than *Monday 5 October 2020 or sooner. * For information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively and virtually. Best regards, Maarten Botterman Chair, ICANN Board of Directors _______________________________________________ SO-AC-SG-CLeaders mailing list SO-AC-SG-CLeaders(a)icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/so-ac-sg-cleaders _______________________________________________ By submitting your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal data for purposes of subscribing to this mailing list accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy (https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy) and the website Terms of Service (https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos) You can visit the Mailman link above to change your membership status or configuration, including unsubscribing, setting digest-style delivery or disabling delivery altogether (e.g., for a vacation), and so on.
