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

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?

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.

But I would add that we have been riding on the coattails of our experiences of previous meetings. We are still mostly members of a community that has met in person in the recent past. This social capital will grow thin. It is going to be some time before big international gatherings will once again be normalized. I would guess that more regional gatherings will come back on stream well before that. I would like to see ICANN put thought, action and money into planning smaller regional gatherings so that the community can retain and grow the social capital needed for this kind of endeavour. If the lights are out for too long, I don't think improved technology will keep the energy moving. Marita n 9/15/2020 8:14 AM, Carlos Gutiérrez G. wrote: Fully agree with Jonathan´s proposition.

At first blush, the community seemed uniquely prepared for a move to virtual meetings, given our already extensive use of tools such as Zoom, Skype and email. Further, the attendance even hinted at the possibility of more inclusive discourse and decision making and talk of a hybrid model for meetings became common. Of course, the reality has been somewhat different. We are reminded of the extent to which we previously postponed discussions until face to face meetings because of their greater pructivity and, frankly, greater civility. Timezones and fatigue contribute to a less than ideal environment for consensus building.. Finally, virtual meetings lack the sense of "event" that face to face meetings enjoyed. Gone is the sense of milestones that previously existed. While much of this is beyond our control, technology has a role to play in making the most of our "virtual reality." There are tools for improved discussion and decision-making such as Slack and Loomio. There are much improved tools for machine translation and greater linguistic inclusion. There are tools for improved virtual outreach. Finally there's an even greater role for ICANN Learn.

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 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)<mailto:board-ops-team@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.

At first blush, the community seemed uniquely prepared for a move to virtual meetings, given our already extensive use of tools such as Zoom, Skype and email. Further, the attendance even hinted at the possibility of more inclusive discourse and decision making and talk of a hybrid model for meetings became common. Of course, the reality has been somewhat different. We are reminded of the extent to which we previously postponed discussions until face to face meetings because of their greater pructivity and, frankly, greater civility. Timezones and fatigue contribute to a less than ideal environment for consensus building.. Finally, virtual meetings lack the sense of "event" that face to face meetings enjoyed. Gone is the sense of milestones that previously existed. While much of this is beyond our control, technology has a role to play in making the most of our "virtual reality." There are tools for improved discussion and decision-making such as Slack and Loomio. There are much improved tools for machine translation and greater linguistic inclusion. There are tools for improved virtual outreach. Finally there's an even greater role for ICANN Learn. The ALAC applauds the hiring of Melissa Allgood and the development of resources devoted to improved cooperation and decision-making within the community but we believe the situation demands more. The best use of the savings, realized by going virtual, is further investment in these resources and tools. Expediting the rollout of ITI (setting clear expectations and meeting them), incorporation of modern tools for offline threaded discussions and consensus building and expansion of ICANN Learn and further investment is machine translation are imperative. The normal cadence of ICANN infrastructure evolution is insufficient in this new reality. The board has an opportunity to lead the ICANN community, and the Multistakeholder model itself, into a new era of more inclusion and diversity and the ALAC is here to help.
