Re: [ALAC] Proposal for ALAC work on future challenges

March 27, 2011

      Dear Jean Jacques,

I volunteer to be member of the team.

As for the name, I think it should be expressive and simple, but Im well
with anyone that can be accepted by all.

Regarding the themes, I do think that the first action of this team is to
seek input from the whole At-Large (ALSes, RALOs and ALAC). As you said
their number shouldnt exceed 5.

Again, thank you for the initiative

Importance : Haute

Dear All,

after the initial e-mail from a week ago, here are the suggested next

steps.

WORK PLAN: as discussed before the vote, the idea is to have a limited

number of themes (not more than 5?) to effectively cover areas the

At-Large structures consider to be strategic. This does not imply any

shift of attention away from other areas currently covered, nor from

existing or expected obligations of the ALAC (response to Board request

for advice, etc). To start the ball rolling, here are my own suggestions:

- The global public interest (definition, overlap or separation of roles

between various parts of the ICANN community, desired contribution from

At-Large structures, action and possible impact by the ALAC on ICANN

policy and orientations);

- Key areas of possible ALAC action to uphold the global public interest

(for starters: new TLDs, WHOIS,...);

- Beyond the ALAC Review recommendations: how to increase the impact of

At-Large within ICANN (policy formation, working with other components of

ICANN, a communications policy for At-Large).

MEMBERSHIP, CHAIR(s): Please indicate if you are interested in being part

of this team, and if you'd accept being co-chair. It is suggested that

once the membership has been approved by the ALAC for 2011-2012, the Task

Force will designate its 2 co-chairs (2 in order to cope with temporary

unavailability of either, and because it's a best practice). When a member

leaves, (s)he may be replaced numerically by another volunteer.

CHARTER: this should cover the term of the mandate (2011-12), strategic

areas to be covered (see above), membership, mode of selection of the two

co-chairs, and the usual administrative aspects (Staff support, frequency

of meetings, reporting, archives, etc.). If our Chair or the ExCom agree,

I would be grateful if Staff sent around what they consider a workable

charter model (when I was on the Board, this was dealt with extensively by

the BGC).

NAME: during the discussion before the vote, TF-F (ALAC Task Force

'Future') was put forward. What's your view?

We'll have time to cover other aspects, or go into more detail, at the

next stage. 

I'd be grateful for your input.

Regards,

Jean-Jacques.

Dear All,
...

...
- thank you Chair for accommodating my request to make a quick oral
...
presentation this morning (Thursday 17 March);
...
- I am grateful to Evan and Gareth for moving and seconding a motion, and
...
thank you colleagues for supporting it.
...

...
Taking into account remarks made so far by members of the ALAC, my
...
proposal now reads:
...

...
PURPOSE AND NAME
...

...
It is suggested the group be called, at least for the time being, ALAC
...
Task Force F (for Future), or TF-F. The notion of "task force" underlines
...
its temporary nature, the fact that its duty is to address a given set of
...
issues, and that it is expected to deliver results within a given time
...
frame.
...

...
MEMBERSHIP
...

...
It is hoped the composition of TF-F will be fairly representative of
...
overall geographic diversity of the At-Large structures, but clearly
...
personal motivation is of prime importance. Once the list of members has
...
been established and agreed upon by ALAC, the members of TF-F will choose
...
their two co-chairs (this can be done by e-mail, or in a conference call).
...
Once constituted, TF-F may call upon experts, as required.
...

...
PROGRAMME
...

...
The first task of TF-F will be to propose a limited list of (perhaps 3 or
...
4) priority issues which the ALAC should address in the near future,
...
because of their impact on the global Internet, on ICANN, on At-Large.
...
ALAC members are encouraged to consult their regional communities on the
...
topics which are considered of importance. Once the ALAC has established
...
the initial list of issues, these shall constitute the core of the work
...
programme for TF-F for 2011.
...

...
STAFF SUPPORT
...

...
In parallel to the membership of TF-F being finalized, it would be
...
necessary to finalize arrangements for Staff support for TF-F.
...

...
VERY NEXT STEPS
...

...
ALAC members interested in taking part in this work are requested to reply
...
to this e-mail to
...

...
*    make known their candidacy
...
*    list the 3 to 5 topics they consider At-Large should take a position
...
on, with regard to the future of the Internet, ICANN, or At-Large (in
...
their order of priority, 1 being the most important or urgent). At this
...
stage, the wording of these topics should be brief and self-evident.
...

I'd be glad to respond to any questions or comments.

...
Regards,

Jean-Jacques.

at the ALAC meeting on Sunday 13 March, a proposal was made regarding a

way ALAC should address them. Building upon the debate which followed,
