The Pandemic has presented a unique set of challenges to people and organizations around the world, the ICANN community among them. 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.

Yes, this excellent. 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:

Great suggestion Marita! Despite having written all of that on a phone, I'm not wedded to it. I can turn it into ALAC correspondence, advice or even something for Cicle ID.

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@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.

Adding to what Marita said, some of these regional gatherings/meetings might be in conjunction with the ICANN meeting. This will allow people with real problems to access Internet to join the meeting appropriately. I understand ICANN now has a program to pay for a better internet, but in some places, not even paying a reasonable fee you get a decent Internet connection to join a zoom room.

Great suggestion Marita! Despite having written all of that on a phone, I'm not wedded to it. I can turn it into ALAC correspondence, advice or even something for Cicle ID. If we want to focus the board in on regional meetings that could be a good discussion!

Yes, this excellent. 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.

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 only engagement with the Board and it's THIS? Not policy? Not lessons learned from the .ORG debacle? Not the fine-but-critical line between registrant privacy and accountability? Not even the impasse on closed-freaking-generics? More "how do we make ourselves better?" bike-shedding? REALLY? THIS is what they chose? That topic has been done ad nauseum through many, many previous iterations without much to show for it. New speakers. New buzzwords. Old complaints. Short memories. Until next time, see ya. This choice kinda proves that the Board doesn't really care much what At-Large has to say about substance. I understand that for people new to ALAC, this seems like a fresh chance to say something never been said. But the veterans should know better, they've been on this treadmill long enough to know how little it accomplishes. - Evan
Hi Evan MSM is the Board's selected topic.. although more focused on eliciting our solutions for their problems. We will incorporate our issues into the discussion. Still working on those. M M On Thu, 17 Sep 2020, 10:02 am Evan Leibovitch, <evan@telly.org> wrote:
