ALAC Endorsement of ATRT2 Candidates
Dear Members of the ALAC, I have been asked to take on the task of managing the ALAC Candidate Endorsement Process for the ICANN Accountability and Transparency Review Team 2 (ATRT2). I am triggering this process now in my capacity as Interim Chair of the ALAC ATRT2 Candidate Endorsement Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee in accordance with the decision of the ALAC meeting on 27 November 2012. *Scope of Work* The selection of ALAC candidates to the ATRT2 will be done by the ICANN Board Chair and the GAC Chair. The responsibility of the ALAC ATRT2 Candidate Endorsement Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee is to review the list of candidates who have applied as representing the ALAC, assess their suitability for the work of the ATRT2, and rank the ones whom we believe to qualify in a preferred order - this is referred to as the endorsement process, which informs the selection by the ICANN Board Chair and the GAC Chair. The endorsement process requires an assessment of candidates based on the set of criteria specified in the ATRT2 Call for Volunteers as well as additional criteria specific to the ALAC. It is known that a minimum of one ALAC candidate will be selected to the ATRT2 and it is expected that more candidates will be selected though the exact number has not been revealed. Given this uncertainty, and there may not be any certainty until the actual selection is made by the Chairs of the ICANN Board and the GAC, we will proceed by reviewing and ranking all the ALAC applicants from the list that the ATRT2 Staff will provide. The following are immediate issues for the ALAC's attention: *1. The **ALAC ATRT2 Candidate Endorsement Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee Call for Members *- The ALAC Chair will issue a call for membership for this ad-hoc sub-committee, which will include information regarding composition, qualification and selection criteria. - It is proposed that the sub-committee be small for manageability (given the tight deadlines) and regionally balanced. - Note: The Chair of the Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee will not count in the regional balance and will not assess the candidates, but rather focus on facilitating the process. The deadline for the sub-committee formation is 10 Dec 2012. *2. Candidate Assessment and Endorsement Tool (Matrix)* - A matrix as a tool to help the sub-committee assess the candidates has been developed and posted for ALAC comments here: At-Large ATRT2 ALAC Endorsement Process Workspace <https://community.icann.org/x/A4lEAg>. - The matrix incorporates the set of criteria specified by the ATRT2 Call for Volunteers as well as two additional criteria specific to the ALAC (i.e., accountability to the ALAC and trust of the ALAC). The deadline for ALAC comments on the matrix is 10 Dec 2012. I urge you to be as concrete and as constructive as possible in your comments and I particularly welcome concrete suggestions on the proxy indicators in the matrix for consideration by the sub-committee. - Note: The development of the matrix as well as the overall endorsement process draw from past experiences and involved consultations with previous coordinators of the process. *3. **ALAC Chair's Candidacy to the ATRT2* - The ALAC Chair has announced that he is applying for the ATRT2. A decision is needed as to whether the ALAC Chair should be endorsed as the primary (first preference) candidate to the ATRT2 by ALAC consensus. *The ALAC is requested to provide feedback on this matter a.s.a.p.** and the ALAC Vice Chairs are requested to manage the call for consensus if deemed necessary. *- Note: If the ALAC Chair is endorsed by consensus, he will be exempt from assessment by the sub-committee and will be able to participate in the sub-committee as an observer. *4. Confidentiality Policy * - The confidentiality policy for the Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee is that the assessment information will only be shared among the sub-committee members for the purpose of making the endorsement decision and no record will be kept after the decision has been announced. - Due to the need for confidentiality, the wiki workspace will be restricted to members of the sub-committee and staff after 11.59pm UTC 10 December 2012 UTC. The workspace is currently open for ALAC comments on the matrix until then. *5. Limits of Information in Decision Announcement* - The decision announcement will reveal only the names and preferred order of the endorsed candidates. * Timeline for the Endorsement Process *Please note that these deadlines have had input from the ATRT2 staff as well as the At-Large staff. Due to time constraints, these deadlines will be held as inflexible.* * 27 Nov 2012 Tabling of Key Decision Points to the ALAC 05 Dec 2012 Deadline for submission of Application and Statement of Interest by candidates to the ATRT2 staff 10 Dec 2012 Deadline for ALAC comments on candidate assessment matrix 10 Dec 2012 Deadline for Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee formation 11-15 Dec 2012 Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee discussion and agreement on matrix proxy indicators 12 Dec 2012 Deadline for receiving list of ALAC candidates from ATRT2 Staff 20 Dec 2012 Deadline for Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee members to submit individual assessment 21 Dec 2012 Staff aggregates and circulates results to Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee members 03 Jan 2012 Ad-Hoc Sub Committee Meeting to review results and decide on candidate preference ranking 04 Jan 2013 Announcement and submission of ALAC endorsement decision to the ATRT2 Staff 07 Jan 2013 ATRT2 candidate selection by ICANN Board Chair and GAC Chair This is not at all an easy task, but I look forward to working with you in identifying the best possible ALAC candidates to the ATRT2.

Dear Rinalia: The criteria seems better than sufficient. However, I should imagine that some criteria are more equal than others. Subject to agreement, might I suggest a ranked order and/or weighted order criteria list.

While Jean Jacques indicated in the recent ALAC call that he might not put himself forward as a candidate if Olivier was interested, I would still suggest his name be added as well for two reasons: - Recall that we have nothing to do with the final selection which is made jointly by the chairs of the GAC and the ICANN Board. Any ranking we do would be informational only, and is explicitly not binding on the final selection. So it is a good idea to put forward multiple people who meet the criteria and have indicated an interest to serve. It is not a competition in which we have any substantive say on the outcome. - This time around it is possible that more than one ALAC representative could be added to the ATRT, so we are doing ourselves a potential disservice if we don't put forward enough qualified candidates. Indeed, the public interest would be incredibly well served IMO should *both* Olivier and Jean-Jacques be called to serve. Jean Jacques, would you please reconsider your position not to stand if Olivier indicated his interest? - Evan On 29 November 2012 21:41, Eduardo Diaz <eduardodiazrivera@gmail.com> wrote:

Dear Members of the ALAC,
I have been asked to take on the task of managing the ALAC Candidate Endorsement Process for the ICANN Accountability and Transparency Review Team 2 (ATRT2). I am triggering this process now in my capacity as Interim Chair of the ALAC ATRT2 Candidate Endorsement Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee in accordance with the decision of the ALAC meeting on 27 November 2012.
*Scope of Work* The selection of ALAC candidates to the ATRT2 will be done by the ICANN Board Chair and the GAC Chair. The responsibility of the ALAC ATRT2 Candidate Endorsement Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee is to review the list of candidates who have applied as representing the ALAC, assess their suitability for the work of the ATRT2, and rank the ones whom we believe to qualify in a preferred order - this is referred to as the endorsement process, which informs the selection by the ICANN Board Chair and the GAC Chair. The endorsement process requires an assessment of candidates based on the set of criteria specified in the ATRT2 Call for Volunteers as well as additional criteria specific to the ALAC. It is known that a minimum of one ALAC candidate will be selected to the ATRT2 and it is expected that more candidates will be selected though the exact number has not been revealed. Given this uncertainty, and there may not be any certainty until the actual selection is made by the Chairs of the ICANN Board and the GAC, we will proceed by reviewing and ranking all the ALAC applicants from the list that the ATRT2 Staff will provide.
The following are immediate issues for the ALAC's attention:
*1. The **ALAC ATRT2 Candidate Endorsement Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee Call for Members *- The ALAC Chair will issue a call for membership for this ad-hoc sub-committee, which will include information regarding composition, qualification and selection criteria. - It is proposed that the sub-committee be small for manageability (given the tight deadlines) and regionally balanced. - Note: The Chair of the Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee will not count in the regional balance and will not assess the candidates, but rather focus on facilitating the process. The deadline for the sub-committee formation is 10 Dec 2012.
*2. Candidate Assessment and Endorsement Tool (Matrix)* - A matrix as a tool to help the sub-committee assess the candidates has been developed and posted for ALAC comments here: At-Large ATRT2 ALAC Endorsement Process Workspace <https://community.icann.org/x/A4lEAg>. - The matrix incorporates the set of criteria specified by the ATRT2 Call for Volunteers as well as two additional criteria specific to the ALAC (i.e., accountability to the ALAC and trust of the ALAC). The deadline for ALAC comments on the matrix is 10 Dec 2012. I urge you to be as concrete and as constructive as possible in your comments and I particularly welcome concrete suggestions on the proxy indicators in the matrix for consideration by the sub-committee. - Note: The development of the matrix as well as the overall endorsement process draw from past experiences and involved consultations with previous coordinators of the process.
*3. **ALAC Chair's Candidacy to the ATRT2* - The ALAC Chair has announced that he is applying for the ATRT2. A decision is needed as to whether the ALAC Chair should be endorsed as the primary (first preference) candidate to the ATRT2 by ALAC consensus. *The ALAC is requested to provide feedback on this matter a.s.a.p.** and the ALAC Vice Chairs are requested to manage the call for consensus if deemed necessary. *- Note: If the ALAC Chair is endorsed by consensus, he will be exempt from assessment by the sub-committee and will be able to participate in the sub-committee as an observer.
*4. Confidentiality Policy * - The confidentiality policy for the Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee is that the assessment information will only be shared among the sub-committee members for the purpose of making the endorsement decision and no record will be kept after the decision has been announced. - Due to the need for confidentiality, the wiki workspace will be restricted to members of the sub-committee and staff after 11.59pm UTC 10 December 2012 UTC. The workspace is currently open for ALAC comments on the matrix until then.
*5. Limits of Information in Decision Announcement* - The decision announcement will reveal only the names and preferred order of the endorsed candidates. * Timeline for the Endorsement Process *Please note that these deadlines have had input from the ATRT2 staff as well as the At-Large staff. Due to time constraints, these deadlines will be held as inflexible.* *

Hello, ALAC. Wonderful to see such enthusiasm! :) Let me clarify a few things. *1. The ALAC does not nominate candidates to the ATRT2, we are asked to endorse candidates from a list that will be revealed by the ATRT2 staff.* - The ATRT2 process does not allow for the ALAC to nominate candidates directly. Rather, interested candidates have to apply to the ATRT2 by submitting the required information to rtcandidatures@icann.org by Wednesday, 5 December 2012 – 23:59 UTC. The ALAC is requested to endorse relevant candidates from the official list of candidates, which will be revealed after the application deadline. - Note: If the ALAC Chair or any other interested candidate were to fail to apply by the specified deadline or fail to submit the requisite set of information, he/she will not be on the candidate list for the ALAC to review and endorse. * So the key message here is that interested candidates must make sure they complete the application process by the specified deadline.* * 2. The importance of endorsing multiple candidates and a proper endorsement process* - It is indeed in the ALAC's interest to endorse as many *qualified *candidates as possible from the yet to be revealed ALAC candidate list, particularly when the maximum number of ALAC candidates who will be selected to the ATRT2 is unknown beyond one. - Given the uncertainty regarding a maximum number, we have to proceed with the working assumption that we will review everyone on the ALAC candidate list and that we will rank them according to a preferred order based on how suitable they are against the set of criteria that has been specified by the ATRT2 requirement. *This order of preference helps the Chairs of the ICANN Board and the GAC in making their decision, particularly when the slots accorded to the ALAC are limited.* It is rational to expect that the slots will be limited. It is also rational to expect that the Chairs of the ICANN Board and the GAC will select candidates from the ALAC endorsed list based on *BOTH qualification AND ALAC's preference order. *If this were not the case, we would not be asked to waste our time in indicating our preferred endorsed candidates. - In generating this preferred order of candidates, we need to be fair to ALL the applicants who apply. It is reasonable to expect that there will be other candidates applying as an ALAC candidate, who may choose not to pre-announce their application to the ALAC for various reasons. It is not for us to speculate the reasons or judge why. Given that the applicants are not required to declare that they are applying, we should NOT be discouraging them by pre-empting a proper endorsement process or by creating an expectation that their application and qualifications will not be reviewed objectively. Let's rise to the challenge and let us be fair to the members of our community. Best regards, Rinalia
Dear Rinala, Many Thanks for your detailed and clear proposal for the ALAC Candidate Endorsement Process for the ATRT2. I also support Carlton's motion to endorse Olivier as the ALAC's preferred candidate for the ATRT2.

Hello, ALAC.
Wonderful to see such enthusiasm! :)
Let me clarify a few things.
*1. The ALAC does not nominate candidates to the ATRT2, we are asked to endorse candidates from a list that will be revealed by the ATRT2 staff.*
- The ATRT2 process does not allow for the ALAC to nominate candidates directly. Rather, interested candidates have to apply to the ATRT2 by submitting the required information to rtcandidatures@icann.org by Wednesday, 5 December 2012 – 23:59 UTC. The ALAC is requested to endorse relevant candidates from the official list of candidates, which will be revealed after the application deadline.
- Note: If the ALAC Chair or any other interested candidate were to fail to apply by the specified deadline or fail to submit the requisite set of information, he/she will not be on the candidate list for the ALAC to review and endorse. * So the key message here is that interested candidates must make sure they complete the application process by the specified deadline.*
* 2. The importance of endorsing multiple candidates and a proper endorsement process*
- It is indeed in the ALAC's interest to endorse as many *qualified *candidates as possible from the yet to be revealed ALAC candidate list, particularly when the maximum number of ALAC candidates who will be selected to the ATRT2 is unknown beyond one.
- Given the uncertainty regarding a maximum number, we have to proceed with the working assumption that we will review everyone on the ALAC candidate list and that we will rank them according to a preferred order based on how suitable they are against the set of criteria that has been specified by the ATRT2 requirement. *This order of preference helps the Chairs of the ICANN Board and the GAC in making their decision, particularly when the slots accorded to the ALAC are limited.* It is rational to expect that the slots will be limited. It is also rational to expect that the Chairs of the ICANN Board and the GAC will select candidates from the ALAC endorsed list based on *BOTH qualification AND ALAC's preference order. *If this were not the case, we would not be asked to waste our time in indicating our preferred endorsed candidates.
- In generating this preferred order of candidates, we need to be fair to ALL the applicants who apply. It is reasonable to expect that there will be other candidates applying as an ALAC candidate, who may choose not to pre-announce their application to the ALAC for various reasons. It is not for us to speculate the reasons or judge why. Given that the applicants are not required to declare that they are applying, we should NOT be discouraging them by pre-empting a proper endorsement process or by creating an expectation that their application and qualifications will not be reviewed objectively.
Let's rise to the challenge and let us be fair to the members of our community.

I would add my name to the endorsements of Olivier, and I would like to further nominate and recommend the addition of Jean Jacques as an endorsed candidate. While Jean Jacques indicated in the recent ALAC call that he might not put himself forward as a candidate if Olivier was interested, I would still suggest his name be added as well for two reasons:
- Recall that we have nothing to do with the final selection which is made jointly by the chairs of the GAC and the ICANN Board. Any ranking we do would be informational only, and is explicitly not binding on the final selection. So it is a good idea to put forward multiple people who meet the criteria and have indicated an interest to serve. It is not a competition in which we have any substantive say on the outcome.
- This time around it is possible that more than one ALAC representative could be added to the ATRT, so we are doing ourselves a potential disservice if we don't put forward enough qualified candidates. Indeed, the public interest would be incredibly well served IMO should *both* Olivier and Jean-Jacques be called to serve.
Jean Jacques, would you please reconsider your position not to stand if Olivier indicated his interest?

Dear Members of the ALAC,
I have been asked to take on the task of managing the ALAC Candidate Endorsement Process for the ICANN Accountability and Transparency Review Team 2 (ATRT2). I am triggering this process now in my capacity as Interim Chair of the ALAC ATRT2 Candidate Endorsement Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee in accordance with the decision of the ALAC meeting on 27 November 2012.
*Scope of Work* The selection of ALAC candidates to the ATRT2 will be done by the ICANN Board Chair and the GAC Chair. The responsibility of the ALAC ATRT2 Candidate Endorsement Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee is to review the list of candidates who have applied as representing the ALAC, assess their suitability for the work of the ATRT2, and rank the ones whom we believe to qualify in a preferred order - this is referred to as the endorsement process, which informs the selection by the ICANN Board Chair and the GAC Chair. The endorsement process requires an assessment of candidates based on the set of criteria specified in the ATRT2 Call for Volunteers as well as additional criteria specific to the ALAC. It is known that a minimum of one ALAC candidate will be selected to the ATRT2 and it is expected that more candidates will be selected though the exact number has not been revealed. Given this uncertainty, and there may not be any certainty until the actual selection is made by the Chairs of the ICANN Board and the GAC, we will proceed by reviewing and ranking all the ALAC applicants from the list that the ATRT2 Staff will provide.
The following are immediate issues for the ALAC's attention:
*1. The **ALAC ATRT2 Candidate Endorsement Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee Call for Members *- The ALAC Chair will issue a call for membership for this ad-hoc sub-committee, which will include information regarding composition, qualification and selection criteria. - It is proposed that the sub-committee be small for manageability (given the tight deadlines) and regionally balanced. - Note: The Chair of the Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee will not count in the regional balance and will not assess the candidates, but rather focus on facilitating the process. The deadline for the sub-committee formation is 10 Dec 2012.
*2. Candidate Assessment and Endorsement Tool (Matrix)* - A matrix as a tool to help the sub-committee assess the candidates has been developed and posted for ALAC comments here: At-Large ATRT2 ALAC Endorsement Process Workspace <https://community.icann.org/x/A4lEAg>. - The matrix incorporates the set of criteria specified by the ATRT2 Call for Volunteers as well as two additional criteria specific to the ALAC (i.e., accountability to the ALAC and trust of the ALAC). The deadline for ALAC comments on the matrix is 10 Dec 2012. I urge you to be as concrete and as constructive as possible in your comments and I particularly welcome concrete suggestions on the proxy indicators in the matrix for consideration by the sub-committee. - Note: The development of the matrix as well as the overall endorsement process draw from past experiences and involved consultations with previous coordinators of the process.
*3. **ALAC Chair's Candidacy to the ATRT2* - The ALAC Chair has announced that he is applying for the ATRT2. A decision is needed as to whether the ALAC Chair should be endorsed as the primary (first preference) candidate to the ATRT2 by ALAC consensus. *The ALAC is requested to provide feedback on this matter a.s.a.p.** and the ALAC Vice Chairs are requested to manage the call for consensus if deemed necessary. *- Note: If the ALAC Chair is endorsed by consensus, he will be exempt from assessment by the sub-committee and will be able to participate in the sub-committee as an observer.
*4. Confidentiality Policy * - The confidentiality policy for the Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee is that the assessment information will only be shared among the sub-committee members for the purpose of making the endorsement decision and no record will be kept after the decision has been announced. - Due to the need for confidentiality, the wiki workspace will be restricted to members of the sub-committee and staff after 11.59pm UTC 10 December 2012 UTC. The workspace is currently open for ALAC comments on the matrix until then.
*5. Limits of Information in Decision Announcement* - The decision announcement will reveal only the names and preferred order of the endorsed candidates. * Timeline for the Endorsement Process *Please note that these deadlines have had input from the ATRT2 staff as well as the At-Large staff. Due to time constraints, these deadlines will be held as inflexible.* *

Dear Members of the ALAC,
I have been asked to take on the task of managing the ALAC Candidate
Endorsement Process for the ICANN Accountability and Transparency Review
Team 2 (ATRT2). I am triggering this process now in my capacity as Interim
Chair of the ALAC ATRT2 Candidate Endorsement Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee in
accordance with the decision of the ALAC meeting on 27 November 2012.
*Scope of Work*
The selection of ALAC candidates to the ATRT2 will be done by the ICANN
Board Chair and the GAC Chair. The responsibility of the ALAC ATRT2
Candidate Endorsement Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee is to review the list of
candidates who have applied as representing the ALAC, assess their
suitability for the work of the ATRT2, and rank the ones whom we believe to
qualify in a preferred order - this is referred to as the endorsement
process, which informs the selection by the ICANN Board Chair and the GAC
Chair. The endorsement process requires an assessment of candidates based
on the set of criteria specified in the ATRT2 Call for Volunteers as well
as additional criteria specific to the ALAC. It is known that a minimum of
one ALAC candidate will be selected to the ATRT2 and it is expected that
more candidates will be selected though the exact number has not been
revealed. Given this uncertainty, and there may not be any certainty until
the actual selection is made by the Chairs of the ICANN Board and the GAC,
we will proceed by reviewing and ranking all the ALAC applicants from the
list that the ATRT2 Staff will provide.
The following are immediate issues for the ALAC's attention:
*1. The **ALAC ATRT2 Candidate Endorsement Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee Call for
Members
*- The ALAC Chair will issue a call for membership for this ad-hoc
sub-committee, which will include information regarding composition,
qualification and selection criteria.
- It is proposed that the sub-committee be small for manageability (given
the tight deadlines) and regionally balanced.
- Note: The Chair of the Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee will not count in the
regional balance and will not assess the candidates, but rather focus on
facilitating the process. The deadline for the sub-committee formation is
10 Dec 2012.
*2. Candidate Assessment and Endorsement Tool (Matrix)*
- A matrix as a tool to help the sub-committee assess the candidates has
been developed and posted for ALAC comments here: At-Large ATRT2 ALAC
Endorsement Process Workspace <https://community.icann.org/x/A4lEAg>.
- The matrix incorporates the set of criteria specified by the ATRT2 Call
for Volunteers as well as two additional criteria specific to the ALAC
(i.e., accountability to the ALAC and trust of the ALAC). The deadline for
ALAC comments on the matrix is 10 Dec 2012. I urge you to be as concrete
and as constructive as possible in your comments and I particularly welcome
concrete suggestions on the proxy indicators in the matrix for
consideration by the sub-committee.
- Note: The development of the matrix as well as the overall endorsement
process draw from past experiences and involved consultations with previous
coordinators of the process.
*3. **ALAC Chair's Candidacy to the ATRT2*
- The ALAC Chair has announced that he is applying for the ATRT2. A
decision is needed as to whether the ALAC Chair should be endorsed as the
primary (first preference) candidate to the ATRT2 by ALAC consensus. *The
ALAC is requested to provide feedback on this matter a.s.a.p.** and the
ALAC Vice Chairs are requested to manage the call for consensus if deemed
necessary.
*- Note: If the ALAC Chair is endorsed by consensus, he will be exempt
from assessment by the sub-committee and will be able to participate in the
sub-committee as an observer.
*4. Confidentiality Policy *
- The confidentiality policy for the Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee is that the
assessment
information will only be shared among the sub-committee members for the
purpose of making the endorsement decision and no record will be kept after
the decision has been announced.
- Due to the need for confidentiality, the wiki workspace will be
restricted to members of the sub-committee and staff after 11.59pm UTC 10
December 2012 UTC. The workspace is currently open for ALAC comments on
the matrix until then.
*5. Limits of Information in Decision Announcement*
- The decision announcement will reveal only the names and preferred order
of the endorsed candidates.
*
Timeline for the Endorsement Process
*Please note that these deadlines have had input from the ATRT2 staff as
well as the At-Large staff. Due to time constraints, these deadlines will
be held as inflexible.*

Hi Rinalia, Thank you for your proposal. I support your it in general. Nevertheless, I have some comments and suggestions: · I dont know why this is named sub-committee. I see it as an endorsement group or committee except if there is a reason for the suggested name. What about Candidate Endorsement Committee (CEC). · To make it not too complicated, I propose that the Chair assess the candidates as any other member, and thus count in the regional balance · The matrix on the workspace looks well for me. We can add a column for a ponderation weight since Carlton find that all criteria dont have the same importance. · As for Olivier, I agree to endorse him as a primary candidate. I already supported Carlton recommendation in this regard. · If endorsed by consensus as a primary candidate, Olivier will be exempt from assessment, but I dont find it useful to add him to the sub-committee as an observer since he is still candidate. Nice work Rinalia; Thanks again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tijani BEN JEMAA Executive Director Mediterranean Federation of Internet Associations (FMAI) Phone: +216 98 330 114 Mobile: +216 41 649 605 Fax: +216 70 825 231 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Message d'origine----- De : alac-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:alac-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] De la part de Rinalia Abdul Rahim Envoyé : vendredi 30 novembre 2012 02:17 À : ALAC Working List Objet : [ALAC] ALAC Endorsement of ATRT2 Candidates Dear Members of the ALAC, I have been asked to take on the task of managing the ALAC Candidate Endorsement Process for the ICANN Accountability and Transparency Review Team 2 (ATRT2). I am triggering this process now in my capacity as Interim Chair of the ALAC ATRT2 Candidate Endorsement Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee in accordance with the decision of the ALAC meeting on 27 November 2012. *Scope of Work* The selection of ALAC candidates to the ATRT2 will be done by the ICANN Board Chair and the GAC Chair. The responsibility of the ALAC ATRT2 Candidate Endorsement Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee is to review the list of candidates who have applied as representing the ALAC, assess their suitability for the work of the ATRT2, and rank the ones whom we believe to qualify in a preferred order - this is referred to as the endorsement process, which informs the selection by the ICANN Board Chair and the GAC Chair. The endorsement process requires an assessment of candidates based on the set of criteria specified in the ATRT2 Call for Volunteers as well as additional criteria specific to the ALAC. It is known that a minimum of one ALAC candidate will be selected to the ATRT2 and it is expected that more candidates will be selected though the exact number has not been revealed. Given this uncertainty, and there may not be any certainty until the actual selection is made by the Chairs of the ICANN Board and the GAC, we will proceed by reviewing and ranking all the ALAC applicants from the list that the ATRT2 Staff will provide. The following are immediate issues for the ALAC's attention: *1. The **ALAC ATRT2 Candidate Endorsement Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee Call for Members *- The ALAC Chair will issue a call for membership for this ad-hoc sub-committee, which will include information regarding composition, qualification and selection criteria. - It is proposed that the sub-committee be small for manageability (given the tight deadlines) and regionally balanced. - Note: The Chair of the Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee will not count in the regional balance and will not assess the candidates, but rather focus on facilitating the process. The deadline for the sub-committee formation is 10 Dec 2012. *2. Candidate Assessment and Endorsement Tool (Matrix)* - A matrix as a tool to help the sub-committee assess the candidates has been developed and posted for ALAC comments here: At-Large ATRT2 ALAC Endorsement Process Workspace <https://community.icann.org/x/A4lEAg>. - The matrix incorporates the set of criteria specified by the ATRT2 Call for Volunteers as well as two additional criteria specific to the ALAC (i.e., accountability to the ALAC and trust of the ALAC). The deadline for ALAC comments on the matrix is 10 Dec 2012. I urge you to be as concrete and as constructive as possible in your comments and I particularly welcome concrete suggestions on the proxy indicators in the matrix for consideration by the sub-committee. - Note: The development of the matrix as well as the overall endorsement process draw from past experiences and involved consultations with previous coordinators of the process. *3. **ALAC Chair's Candidacy to the ATRT2* - The ALAC Chair has announced that he is applying for the ATRT2. A decision is needed as to whether the ALAC Chair should be endorsed as the primary (first preference) candidate to the ATRT2 by ALAC consensus. *The ALAC is requested to provide feedback on this matter a.s.a.p.** and the ALAC Vice Chairs are requested to manage the call for consensus if deemed necessary. *- Note: If the ALAC Chair is endorsed by consensus, he will be exempt from assessment by the sub-committee and will be able to participate in the sub-committee as an observer. *4. Confidentiality Policy * - The confidentiality policy for the Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee is that the assessment information will only be shared among the sub-committee members for the purpose of making the endorsement decision and no record will be kept after the decision has been announced. - Due to the need for confidentiality, the wiki workspace will be restricted to members of the sub-committee and staff after 11.59pm UTC 10 December 2012 UTC. The workspace is currently open for ALAC comments on the matrix until then. *5. Limits of Information in Decision Announcement* - The decision announcement will reveal only the names and preferred order of the endorsed candidates. * Timeline for the Endorsement Process *Please note that these deadlines have had input from the ATRT2 staff as well as the At-Large staff. Due to time constraints, these deadlines will be held as inflexible.* * 27 Nov 2012 Tabling of Key Decision Points to the ALAC 05 Dec 2012 Deadline for submission of Application and Statement of Interest by candidates to the ATRT2 staff 10 Dec 2012 Deadline for ALAC comments on candidate assessment matrix 10 Dec 2012 Deadline for Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee formation 11-15 Dec 2012 Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee discussion and agreement on matrix proxy indicators 12 Dec 2012 Deadline for receiving list of ALAC candidates from ATRT2 Staff 20 Dec 2012 Deadline for Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee members to submit individual assessment 21 Dec 2012 Staff aggregates and circulates results to Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee members 03 Jan 2012 Ad-Hoc Sub Committee Meeting to review results and decide on candidate preference ranking 04 Jan 2013 Announcement and submission of ALAC endorsement decision to the ATRT2 Staff 07 Jan 2013 ATRT2 candidate selection by ICANN Board Chair and GAC Chair This is not at all an easy task, but I look forward to working with you in identifying the best possible ALAC candidates to the ATRT2.
