Re: [At-Large] [EURO-Discuss] [EURO-ALS] At-Large EURALO 2007 Election Results
by Annette Muehlberg May 25, 2007

May 25, 2007

Congratulations and welcome to our two new ALAC members Veronica and Sebastien! And a lot of thanks for the work Vittorio has done! Congratulations to all EURALO board members! As Wolfgang pointed out: the time of work on substantial issues has started. Let us make a list of issues for our workplan including time lines. All the best Annette Kleinwa"chter schrieb: > First of all congratulations to all elected.

I am sure that this discussion will produce much more unity than we had in the procedural debate. > > I would also invite Patrick, even if he was not elected, to give his energy and knowledge to the EURALO process.

I would also encourage a discussion on a strategy paper with some mid-term goals and milestones. As you have seen there are two European ICANN meeting scheduled now fro 2008 and 2009.

Given the number of members of the board, that procedure would not resolve whether the top 4, or 5, would be serving 2-years.

Final ALAC rules of procedure
by Vittorio Bertola May 25, 2007

May 25, 2007

All, after the last open item was addressed in last week's conference call, here is what should be the final version of our internal rules of procedure. It incorporates a revision of the election process according to the agreement of the call (the way it was recounted to me): Board liaison is voted at the meeting before AGM, other positions at the AGM by the new ALAC. It also has the final text for recall vote and rule amendment majorities (nine votes plus 3/4 quorum) and for point 1.g, taking up suggestions by Siavash, Wendy and Nick. You might note that I am not an ALAC member any more since yesterday, so I am glad to conclude this effort just in time. I think that further changes and enrichments can still be made - for example, we could formalize in writing the process for getting to regional recommendations on ALS applications, or for selecting Nomcom members - but they should go by the amendment procedure that is already included in this edition of the rules. Ciao, -- vb. Vittorio Bertola - vb [a] bertola.eu <-------- --------> finally with a new website at http://bertola.eu/ <--------

Dear All: In the most recent meeting of the At-Large Advisory Committee, it was resolved to simplify the worldwide set of email lists and to delete the -ALS lists in each region, leaving only the -Discuss lists.

Re: [At-Large] Geographic diversity in the NARALO
by Nick Ashton-Hart May 25, 2007

May 25, 2007

John and Alan, I stand corrected on the Bylaw provision. That said, the requirement of different countries is present in all the other regional MoUs. As to your point about relative population, this could have been said in other regions as well. China and India could have argued this point in Asia, others in LAC, others still in Europe. Nobody has done so. At the UN, voting could be based upon population, or economic output, GDP, or other statistics but it is not; it is based upon the one country, one vote principle. That is the principle which the 'residents or nationals' provision seeks to continue in ICANN. ICANN, as everyone knows, has in the past been criticised for being too US-centric, and also too Western-centric, as well as too English-centric. I would ask you all to consider the message that would be sent if North America were to adopt less diversity guarantees than any other region. 'One man, one vote' is widely admired as a fundamentally important principle. In international relations, the equivalent principle of 'one country, one vote' is also equally fundamentally important. I have a query in on the geographic diversity provision and the different countries question. I'll let everyone know what I hear back...
