Dear colleagues, Let me add my humble opinion: This is not the first public article which focuses on the role and some responsibility of ALAC in the .org issue, the comments here were also stones into our garden: http://domainincite.com/24988-i-attempt-to-answer-icas-questions-about-the-t... It seems like errors and incorrect remarks, ugly comparisons in public articles are always a challenge for us to answer by action, it is not just the lack of the competence of the authors, we know this. And now it is very helpful to understand the incorrect view of the outside world/market (fabricated by such articles) to the place and role of At-Large in ICANN. We need to work on it to. To explain by action. Because it is also always a great call and opportunity to raise the flag and At-Large go forward with the initiative and be where decisions should be directly related to the interests of end users. Exactly by the way Roberto proposed. Sincerely, Natalia Filina Secretary of EURALO https://atlarge.icann.org/alses/euralo https://individualusers.org/ Member of ALAC Subcommittee on Outreach and Engagement Officer of SIG IoT (ISOC) +7 906 722 54 61 Moscow, Russian Federation вт, 7 янв. 2020 г. в 19:44, Maureen Hilyard <maureen.hilyard@gmail.com>:

Dear All!
I agree we should move forward, but short of accepting the sale as a fait accompli and start grabbing for seats in a Privately Owned Corporation, at least for the time being.
I suggest the Chair to go ahead and call for a small team of ALAC members to start evaluation of all the submissions to the ICANN Board, about their evaluation of the PIR deal (from the perspective of ALACs narrow remit of course) and get us up to speed to react promptly to the expected public comment period (hoping there will be one). Time is of essence here and we need to show more muscle here than just collecting a wide variety of opinions.
Abdicating to the sale as a fact, as some members are already doing by grabbing a share of the pie in the form of a Board seat of the PIR under new ownership is a rather early move, to say the least.
Thanks! Carlos Raúl Gutiérrez

Let me add my humble opinion: This is not the first public article which focuses on the role and some responsibility of ALAC in the .org issue, the comments here were also stones into our garden: http://domainincite.com/24988-i-attempt-to-answer-icas-questions-about-the-t... <http://domainincite.com/24988-i-attempt-to-answer-icas-questions-about-the-t...>
It seems like errors and incorrect remarks, ugly comparisons in public articles are always a challenge for us to answer by action, it is not just the lack of the competence of the authors, we know this. And now it is very helpful to understand the incorrect view of the outside world/market (fabricated by such articles) to the place and role of At-Large in ICANN. We need to work on it to. To explain by action.
Because it is also always a great call and opportunity to raise the flag and At-Large go forward with the initiative and be where decisions should be directly related to the interests of end users. Exactly by the way Roberto proposed.

I agree with Roberto, and would perhaps go even further. The best solution would be to have a voting seat on the PIR board, rather than a non-voting liaison. I'm not sure which Roberto was suggesting. To my mind, true "representation" comes with a vote..
I also agree with everything Jonathan Zuck said -- about the mission, about Malthouse, about that "editorial." Nasty stuff. An appropriate response needs to be considered, but I'm not sure what that might be. It might be a message from someone else in At Large, pointing out that in a bottom-up organization, it's not the Chair's job to go flying into battle on their own impetus. Or maybe it can come from a bunch of somebodies....

There are more important things than a pissing match in the toilet of public opinion.

indeed - the DotMobi Liaison was on the DotMobi Policy Advisory Board. But IMHO Roberto's suggestion for a Liaison to the PIR Board sounds good.

I have been thinking further about this, and came to the conclusion that our proposal would be not to have a representative on the Stewardship Council but on the PIR Board. Here is the rationale for that. The Stewardship Council will play the role that was previously of the Advisory Council. Its purpose was to get multiple voices from different part of the user community, and in particular the NGOs, ensuring diversity of opinions. This body was advisory to a Board that had already built-in the fundamental non-profit, user-community DNA, because it was selected by ISOC. With the changed situation, we can safely assume that the new PIR Board will be selected by Ethos to take care of the interests of the investors, and there is no guarantee that the public interest is being taken care of. This will be a good option for Ethos as well, because it would show in a concrete way the commitment to the public interest beyond mere verbal expression of intents. On the other hand, Ethos and the investors would keep a solid majority that will ensure that their interests are protected. We should remember that while the Advisory Council was surely empowered to provide advice, and was surely listened to, a Director would have access to more information and definitively better opportunities to discuss different ideas and approaches with his/her fellow Directors, therefore presenting the point of view of the public interest more effectively. In short, this person wold play a role that is similar to the one that León plays in ICANN: committed to the fiduciary responsibility to the corporation but able to be a strong voice to the discussion. I think that we should not be shy, all in remaining reasonable with our proposals. I believe that this one is a win-win, bringing the voice of the user community in PIR and being a good opportunity for Ethos to show a commitment while still remaining in control of PIR. Cheers, Roberto

Well that is certainly forcing our hand to take some action. But with arrows flying in all sorts of directions it has been difficult to know which one to follow, and I note there has been a break in the conversations on this topic.
Interesting and very timely that Roberto raised the .org issue again in an earlier email today. I started a response until JZ reminded us that the thread was about .com
I agree with Roberto's approach - that we should focus on our role as the voice of At-Large end-users and offer some creative advice on how we might influence the behaviour of PIR and any future decisions they make that will impact on .org end-users. PIR/Ethos already presented a webinar and said all the right things.. but how can we be assured that they will stick to what they said that they would do in the future? Who will monitor this on behalf of ordinary end-users? Who will be represented on the Stewardship Council?
At the same time we may also need to advise the ICANN Board about how they might deal with the ICANN-PIR/Ethos contract - especially Roberto's recommendation of some commitment from ICANN that ethical behaviour towards .org end-users will be built into it.
We are aware that the Board is looking into every legal issue relating to how they can deal with matters that are being raised by letters that are flowing their way. We don't need to add more of the same.
While i think it might be seen to be a simplistic approach, I believe that we should stick to what our job is and focus on advice to the Board and to PIR- but lets try to be creative about how we advise them, looking at the impacts on end-users from all perspectives.
