ICANN 49 Showcase and other stuff
Dear Pavan, Thanks for the initiative. I have talked with the staff while being in BA to have a call for the organizing committee of Singapore Showcase at the first week of December, as the staff is just back from BA and also have Thanksgiving holidays, so the staff has asked to postpone for a week for this call. So, I assume the staff will soon send the doodle for the call for the week of December 2-6. Everyone's opinion matters, so, those who are interested welcome to participate in the call. Staff promised to provide the most appropriate time possibilities for the region for this call. I also would like to ask staff to invite Kuek for this call, as his participation as the local will be very important. Singapore Showcase is OUR Showcase, we all need to show the community how great we are and what excellent work we do. So, please, participate! Dear Karaitiana, thanks for your suggestions for the metrics, they are really very important. Everybody welcomes to provide their suggestions to this list and Maureen will consider them as needed. Once again, the call to all those who didn't provide their logo and brief information about the organization for the wiki, as was asked by Emani. Please, do this ASAP as we really need to start the preparatory works for Singapore Showcase. And last but not least, please, don't forget to provide your input for APRALO ROP Charter if any by December 13th. This is all for now. Once again thanks for all your contribution. Siranush Siranush VardanyanAPRALO Acting ChairArmenia

These are my thoughts based on not been an ALAC member (nor do I have time to).
I would support a more closer monitoring approach to the ALAC performance review and would like to see the evaluations distributed to the relevant RALO's as we are the ones who nominate and put our trust in our representatives to provide our views and then to report back to us.
I would expect that participation in all meetings, emails and Work Groups would be at the very minimum 90%. There are so many issues at present it would be hard not to have a voice at a meeting.
Saying this, I would also expect that any new ALAC appointments are mentored and giving an appropriate transition period and were made to feel comfortable to ask for help. Some cultural and language barriers may also exist and should be considered.
If people are under-performing, then perhaps a mechanism of someone talking to them in a non threating manner to see if there is any assistance required etc.
Perhaps too, some way of recognition for the long hours and dedication may also be a motivation. This is likely to be more of a RALO initiative though.

APRALO colleagues
As Siranush had informed you already, I am on a working group (headed by Cheryl Langdon-Orr) that is looking at measuring the performance of ALAC members (as expected in the ALAC Rules of Procedure). We are later to be looking at ALSes and RALOs.
It is an extremely difficult thing to do when: * the people in these positions are volunteers who have offered to do this work out of the goodness of their hearts - how do you measure their contribution to a task that has been set? * the Board and Management are becoming more vocal about getting value for money spent within the system - it costs a lot of money to bring the committees of the ICANN system together for each meeting. three times a year. They rightfully want to know that they are getting their money's worth. * it is very difficult to ascertain what METRICS are appropriate to measure each particular type of performance (attendance? contribution? value of contribution? others?)
As ALSes you elect your APRALO representatives on the ALAC (me and Holly) and although Raf has been appointed to the ALAC as and APRALO NOMCOM candidate - the expectations should be the same.
Therefore I'd really like to hear not only about WHAT performance criteria should be evaluated but also HOW it might be appropriately measured. I would like to use the advice of the ALSes to put together an evaluative process which could help us evaluate all the groups we have been tasked to evaluate.
This is what we are looking at, at the moment:
1. Do ALAC members attend all the meetings they should? Some attend the face to face meetings, but not the online meetings. ICANN is not looking at these candidates very favourably.
2. Do ALAC members who attend the meetings actually contribute anything to the meetings? Some attend meetings but they don't say anything - what value do they give? Some log into teleconference meetings, but because they don't contribute anything, it is difficult to know whether they actually listening?)
3. Do ALAC members participate on working groups? We have lots of members who volunteer for a working group, and never turn up for meetings to do the work. Its the same people every time doing the work .
There may be other questions you may want to ask. Please do...
Very importantly, HOW can we more effectively evaluate performance - what do you use in your workplace?
Let me know.. I'd love to hear from you.

Hi Pavan Thanks for the invite. Would it be possible to run a Doodle poll for the most convenient time slot?
The usual APRALO monthly call time slot works fine for me, but 8 am Hong Kong time is a bit too early (unless, of course, it is the only feasible slot for some of us).
