Re: [APAC-Discuss] [lac-discuss-en] VOTE RESULTS: 2014 Director-At-Large Board (Seat # 15) Selection Process
by Carlton Samuels April 6, 2014

April 6, 2014

....when I see this thread I don't know why Robin Crawford comes top of mind...... To my mind the issue is moreso about culture than any one voting member. ICANN is an American corporation; shorthand for saying it is acculturated in a specific way. Its world view, decision model and management practices springs from a certain philosophical base. In this framework certain interests are inherently constrained. Some sentient ones understand this and so now, some moves are in play to address this. Time will tell whether they are fit to purpose or not. On the balance of fact, understanding of Board dynamics and cultural stasis, I'm not so sure another "At-Large Board Member" will deliver what most of us believe to be good and necessary, absent a cultural shift. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= On Fri, Apr 4, 2014 at 6:29 PM, <ocl(a)gih.com> wrote: > > [[--Translated text (es -> en)--]] > > Subject: Re: VOTE RESULTS: 2014 Director-At-Large Board (Seat # 15) > Selection Process > From: ocl(a)gih.com > > Dear Wolfgang, > > > thank you for this reminder of the history. > > > I'd like to hear more from our Community on Whether They Should we think > be pushing for a second manager position now that we've had another > successful round of selection of a Board director. > > > Fadi Chehadmentioned today in the At-Large Election When speaking > about the multi-stakeholder model at the Hudson Institute > > http://www.hudson.org/events/1144-the-future-of-internet-governance-a-discu… > > > Kind regards, > > > Olivier > > > On 30/03/2014 11:32, "Kleinwchter, Wolfgang" wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I also want to join the many thanks to Sebastian (great job), to Rinalia > (great challenge) and Roberto and Tijani (well done).

Re: [APAC-Discuss] Extending Suffrage
by Thomas Lowenhaupt April 5, 2014

April 5, 2014

Ariel, I am resending this message to the six RALO discuss lists as per your request. Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Thomas, I hope your day has been going well. Could you please resend your message titled ³Extending Suffrage² to the six RALO discuss mailing lists? I accentually the message and I will allow the message to go through this time. Apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you, Ariel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Olivier, I appreciate Wolfgang's raising the question of the At-Large's position within ICANN's governance structure (see below), and your extending an invitation to comment. In a paper submitted to NETmundial <http://www.coactivate.org/projects/campaign-for.nyc/blog/2014/03/08/260/> we addressed the question of suffrage in ICANN's governance processes. We look at voter eligibility at ICANN today and draw a parallel to America in 1787 when the 3% of the population was eligible to vote: basically large farm owners (no blacks, women, or poor). Our paper proposed that we take a first step in extending suffrage at ICANN by reverting to the selection of 5 board members by the At-Large Structures, one member per region. Let me reiterate, this is "a step" with more suffrage extensions required. The paper <http://www.coactivate.org/projects/campaign-for.nyc/blog/2014/03/08/260/> also proposed a formalized role for cities in the ICANN governance process.

Dear APRALO members, This e-mail provides you some updates and highlights of our region during March and particularly during the ICANN meeting in Singapore. 1. APRALO Showcase in Singapore - Enormous efforts were put together by APRALO Showcase organizing committee members for the preparation for APRALO Showcase in Singapore, which was the full success, having "the most wonderful showcase ever", mentioned by different people and all members of this committee have a very big input in this success (you can view pics from our showcase at https://www.flickr.com/photos/glennmcknight/sets/72157642954212553) 2. MOUs with APNIC and APTLD: One of the major highlights of this month was the official signing an MOUs firstly with our Regional Internet Registry, APNIC, and secondly with our Regional APTLD. These agreements will strengthen the relationship that APRALO has, and can continue into the future with these important regional partners. 3. APRALO ROP Charter: During March the APRALO ROP WG holds one conference call and worked through e-mail to prepare the final draft of the New APRALO Rules of Procedure 2014, which has been sent to AP members for review on March 8. On March 22 the consensus call to the list was opened to invite all ALSs representatives to provide their support or otherwise for the document. No objections had been received before the monthly call. On March 26 during the monthly call actual voting took place and APRALO unanimously adopted APRALO new Rules of Procedures 2014. The individual memberships with the new procedures developed and will be outreached to announce about opening the APRALO for individual members to join. 4.

I am sending a call to all of you to join to ATLAS II different working groups. Please, note that several pre-ATLAS II activities will be planned for all of us to prepare all of ALSs representatives to come to London as much informed as possible.
