English -- Español ê -- Français ê ê Dear Colleagues, After talking to all those of you whom I was lucky enough to share time with during our last meeting in Hyderabad, I have decided to run for the seat 15 elected by At-Large on the ICANN Board. The Internet tends to become more and more split into separate lands. One World, One Internet must remain the main goal of ICANN and At-Large. ICANN needs to foresee the coming four billions of Internet end-users, and prepare to serve, and listen to, a much wider and more diverse user community. The representation of the current Internet users still needs to be improved and a second Board member selected by At-Large is more necessary than ever. There are urgent tasks that will only be undertaken if At-Large succeeds in building consensus within the Board. Let us note that the Board will have to elect a new Chair in 2017. It is good that At-Large has an effective choice between several candidates. Moreover, exercising a choice is a way to be more accountable to the whole organization. I put my experience at the disposal of At-Large and will participate humbly and enthusiastically in the selection process. Good luck to all. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Estimados colegas, Después de hablar con todos aquellos de ustedes con quienes tuve la suerte de compartir tiempo durante nuestra última reunión en Hyderabad, he decidido postularme para el puesto 15, elegido por At-Large, de la Junta Directiva de ICANN. Internet tiende cada vez más a estar dividido en varios terrenos separados. Un Mundo, Un Internet debe seguir siendo el objetivo principal de ICANN y At-Large. ICANN debe prever a los próximos cuatro mil millones de usuarios de Internet y prepararse para servir y escuchar una comunidad de usuarios mucho más amplia y diversa. También hay que mejorar representación de los usuarios de Internet actuales. Un segundo miembro de la Junta seleccionado por At-Large es más necesario que nunca. Hay tareas urgentes que sólo se emprenderán si At-Large consigue consensuar en la Junta. Señalemos que la Junta tendrá que elegir un nuevo Presidente en 2017. Afortunadamente, At-Large puede hacer una verdadera elección entre varios candidatos. Además, el ejercer esta opción permite ser más responsable ante toda la organización. Ofrezco mi experiencia a At-Large y participaré con humildad y entusiasmo en el proceso de selección. Buena suerte a todos. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Chers collègues, Après avoir parlé à tous ceux d'entre vous avec qui j'ai eu la chance de partager lors de notre dernière réunion à Hyderabad, j'ai décidé de me porter candidat au siège 15, élu par At-Large, du Conseil d'administration de l'ICANN. Internet tend à devenir de plus en plus divisé en territoires séparés. Un Monde, un Internet doit rester l'objectif principal de l'ICANN et d'At-Large. L'ICANN doit prévoir l¹arrivée des prochains quatre milliards d'utilisateurs d'Internet et se préparer à servir et écouter une communauté d'utilisateurs beaucoup plus importante et plus diversifiée. La représentation des utilisateurs d'Internet actuels doit encore être améliorée. Un deuxième membre du Conseil d¹administration choisi par At-Large est plus que jamais nécessaire. Il y a des tâches urgentes qui ne seront entreprises que si At-Large réussit à établir un consensus au sein du Conseil d¹administration. Notons que le Conseil devra élire un nouveau Président en 2017. Il est réjouissant que At-Large puisse faire un vrai choix, parmi plusieurs candidats. En outre, le fait d¹exercer ce choix permet de faire preuve de responsabilité à l¹égard de l¹ensemble de l'organisation. Je mets mon expérience à disposition d¹At-Large et je participerai avec humilité et enthousiasme au processus de sélection. Bonne chance à tous.

Hi Sebastien. While I welcome your candidacy, I am concerned about the timing of this "launch". As I understand it, At-Large is at the stage of calling for expressions of interest for candidates. Such EoIs are to be evaluated by the Board Candidate Evaluation Committee according to processes that have been in place since At-Large began sending members to the Board. As you've participated in the last two selections, you are well aware of this process. I applaud your confidence that you will be selected by the BCEC to the slate of choices presented. But I am concerned about the integrity of the process and of campaigning before the BCEC has completed its task.. The candidate selection process, and the BCEC itself, were deliberately designed to prevent insider politicking, in order to increase At-Large's ability to attract a diversity of candidates. It was intended that candidates were not to solicit support from the 20 voters until we actually knew who the candidates are. What has changed in this cycle? Cheers, - Evan
