This is getting to be interesting. So far, I think that we have general agreement on how to handle all votes except a certification where the RALO is undecided. Here we have multiple positions. 1. Secret but staff/chair can access details 2. Everything secret. 3. Everything published. Alan At 03/10/2014 01:42 PM, Fatima Cambronero wrote:
Dear All,
I agree with Sandra on this.
I expressed in our last teleconference a similar point: our roles are as representatives from our RALOs.
I think whenever possible, our votes in certification and decertification processes should be open and transparent and be available to be consulted for our RALOs.
I believe it is easy to deal with happy people, when we voted in the same sense that our RALO expressed. But the main skill of a leader is dealing with less happy people when we voted on contrary sense of their "mandate". If we can explain why our votes were in different sense, we don't be worried because some RALO members don't smile us anymore.
Just my 2 cents.
Best Regards,
Fatima

Most votes would be open. Our rules allow someone to explain their vote if they wish (particularly a no or abstain). For those few votes where there is no recommendation from the RALO, the vote would be secret, BUT we would be able to privately request a rationale for the vote.
You are correct (in my view) that in an ideal world, the ALAC members, who have an obligation to support the ALAC, At-Large and ICANN, could vote against the wishes of some in their RALO, and could justify this. The same is true for personnel votes, and some parts of ICANN have those open as well.
But I am not sure ALAC members are paid enough to subject them to possible harassment if we can easily remedy it.

Hi all, my thoughts on one point. I understand or self as being privileged in terms that most of us are elected by their RALOs to represent their interest. They put trust in us. Sometimes we have to take decisions such as certification and decertification. I see the point of personal relationships within a RALO - which might be challenged depending on he vote. BUT as we have a certain responsibility here I think all of us should take that burden to justify a decision personally within the region and globally as a group. This would be in my POV the most democratic approach.

You are saying that your suggestion for for 2 would be:
2. We have general agreement that for certification votes where there is definitive regional advice, we should have standard open votes. For cases where there is not definitive regional advice, how ALAC members vote should not be published.
ââ¹Yes, that is a clearer expression of my iinternt. Thanks.ââ¹
