Your inputs requested on the Travel Policy before 17 April EOD
by Amrita Choudhury April 19, 2024

April 19, 2024

Dear APRALO members, We have a few questions where we need your inputs, related to travel policy. *Link: https://forms.gle/gabjf8fshuM7x1pZ7 <https://forms.gle/gabjf8fshuM7x1pZ7>* Sharing the background and recent developments first. The background As per the existing travel policy, there are 2 travel slots for each RALO and each of the 3 ALAC members travel to each meeting. A small team had been constituted at the At Large to discuss and evolve a more fair and transparent travel policy than the existing one which is performance and utility based. The small team had two online discussions. Most felt that the performance metrics need to be evolved which are flexible and creative and RALOs have the independence to create their own metrics. At a session at San Juan there was a discussion but it was inconclusive. Current developments: About two weeks ago the ALAC Chair sent an email announcing a pilot where slots for travel to ICANN80 were assigned based on the utility of travel members. However the slots of each RALO was reduced from 2 to 1 and 5 slots were allotted to AFRALO travellers. This pilot has led to concerns in most RALOs. The main reason being it was a top down decision where before implementing it was not discussed in the small team or with the RALOs. Several RALOs such as AFRALO, LACRALO and EURALO have issued statements against it and asked to repeal it. APRALO LT position so far: APRALO LT had written back the following statement: "There had been no concluding discussions at San Juan on the topic of travel policy. Rather the key takeaway was that there needs to be more deliberation and discussion before we agree on any new process. Therefore this proposal was a bit unexpected. While we from APRALO are ok to go age will go with this proposed pilot travel policy, just as a one time PILOT, however we will discuss it with the other RALOs and go with what all the RALOs together decide upon. Further, we wish to add that, 1. Any future travel policy needs extensive prior deliberation and agreement between all ALAC members and RALOs etc. Even for a pilot it is preferred there is deliberation. 2. We agree that metrics need to be implemented, but that would require further discussion and flexibility region wise. RALOs should have the discretion to fix their own metrics and allot the 2 seats they have. Once we have proper metrics in place and it is agreed by all, only then it should be implemented. It should not be enforced. 3. Additionally, while we have no issues with AFRALO being given additional slots, I hope the same will be reciprocated when we have meetings in other regions. The APRALO will definitely be keen to have more travel slots during the Istanbul meeting. Of course we will request that based on what sessions/ initiatives we propose for that meeting. 4. For the one seat allotted this time we will continue with the rotation system that we are following, at least for ICANN80 and Ali will attend it." The Situation now: Three of the RALOs have written back rejecting the Pilot Travel Plan. NARALO has not issued any statement. As mentioned above APRALO LT had stated that we will go ahead with whatever all RALOs decide together. In that context we have a few questions where we need your view preferable by 17 April 2024 EOD. Regards, Amrita on behalf of APRALO LT

FW: [Ext] At-Large Travel Fresh Start
by ICANN At-Large Staff April 17, 2024

April 17, 2024

Dear All, Please see a note from ALAC Chair, Jonathan Zuck, on the topic of the At-Large travel policy and the next steps. Kind regards, At-Large Staff At-Large Staff ICANN Policy Staff in support of the At-Large Community Website: atlarge.icann.org<https://atlarge.icann.org/> Facebook: facebook.com/icann<https://www.facebook.com/icannatlarge>atlarge<https://www.facebook.com/icannatlarge> Twitter: @<https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge>ICANNAtLarge<https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge> [signature_606353143] From: Jonathan Zuck <JZuck(a)innovatorsnetwork.org> Date: Wednesday, April 17, 2024 at 7:03 AM To: "alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org" <alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Cc: ICANN Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org>, Melissa Peters Allgood <melissa.allgood(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ext] At-Large Travel Fresh Start Dear All, Thank you again for your feedback on the At-Large travel policy. I want you to know that we have heard your concerns regarding the proposed At-Large travel policy and we want to keep discussing it with you. The need for an objective, utilitarian and flexible travel policy still exits to ensure that those actively engaged in ICANN work are in the best position to participate and we are actively planning for the future. For ICANN80, we propose to revert to the allocation of 15 slots to the ALAC, 10 to the five RALOs and 3 for ALAC Liaisons and one for the ALAC Chair. Given that 3 ALAC members are unable to travel to Kigali, we would like to offer them to AFRALO to allocate as they wish. These 3 slots are unused ALAC slots so they are not drawn from expected slots. For ICANN81, as this is the Annual General Meeting, we will also use the allocation which also supports the travel for outgoing, incoming, and continuing ALAC and Regional Leaders, according to their regional rotations For the longer-term development of an At-Large travel policy, starting as early as May 2024, we suggest engaging in regional listening sessions where everyone has the opportunity to share their views and explain any concerns in a structured manner. Should you agree, we’ve asked Melissa Allgood, a member of ICANN org specializing in conflict resolution, to lead these discussions as a neutral facilitator. Melissa will not act as a representative of ICANN org, but rather will structure our dialogue to ensure that all participants are heard and their views considered. We will work with RALO leaders to include these listening sessions at a time that best meets the needs of each region, perhaps during scheduled monthly calls. The development of a formal At-Large travel policy will take some time and we would like for all voices to be heard and considered. Ideally, we would like to work jointly with you - - in eliminating subjective answers with agreed, objective metrics that meet well crafted expectations of volunteers in performing the role of the ALAC as tasked under the ICANN Bylaws. Such a policy should be reflective of the values of the bottom-up multi-stakeholder model. Let us move forward in an inclusive, constructive, transparent, and respectful manner within our community.
