ANNOUNCEMENT : Results from Round 1 voting for At-Large selected Board Member for seat #15 of ICANN Board
by Cheryl Langdon-Orr Nov. 26, 2010

Nov. 26, 2010

Voting for *Round 1 voting for At-Large selected Board Member for seat #15 of ICANN Board, *has now been *completed** *and the poll has closed, the vote is quorate and the results show that a Round 2 vote is now required to be held. The ABSdt processes (as approved) state that, should it be required, a Round 2 will be held: *"26 – 28 November: Second round of online voting." **This announcement is to both release the results of Round 1 and to prepare the At-Large electorate to undertake their Round 2 vote.* * * *The percentage table results from the Round 1 vote are shown below: * *Names. Votes %* Sébastien Bachollet 43.75 Pierre Dandjinou 25.00* Alan Greenberg 31.25 This shows that the candidate who will drop out with the lowest percentage support (number of votes), and not continue to round 2 vote is Pierre Dandjinou*. I have now instructed staff to set up a *Round 2 vote on Big Pulse * which will *start ASAP on 26 November and run through 28 November at 23:59 UTC.* The vote will be between Sebastien Bachollet and Alan Greenberg (listed in that order) . Voter options will be to *select one (1) preferred candidate*; All electorate members should expect to receive their voting credentials from staff and the usual announcements re the vote, within the next 12 hrs => If you do not receive your voting credential please contact staff directly. Note also that the previous 'in the event of a tie' arrangements will be in place -> good luck to both of the remaining candidates... I have also requested staff to arrange for suitable wider publication of these results and the Round 2 vote beginning through the wider At-Large and ICANN announcements mechanisms as soon as possible. Please also not I have taken the liberty of emailing the three candidates in the Round 1 vote and informing them of these results, whilst thanking all of them for their contribution and ongoing support of this important and landmark selection process, I'm sure I reflect the feelings of the community when I also specifically thank Pierre here in this message for his willingness to serve as the At-Large selected ICANN Board member, and for his active and professional participation in the campaigning processes; and that we look forward to his renewed and continuing involvement with At-Large and the ALAC's work within ICANN. Finally as soon as possible after the Round 2 vote closes (and any tie is broken by the random method previously outlined) I will inform the community of the outcome and write to the ICANN Company Secretary Mr. John Jeffrey, informing him of the At-Large selected person for seat #15 of the ICANN Board of Directors, so that they may take their role on the Board as planned at the Cartagena meeting.

Agree with Vanda in almost evErything. I consider its words were very objective. However I particularly support a different candidate.

However to be friend is not enough for support one or another candidate to this position which took so huge effort and time to ALAC to get it. Have the best we can candidate is really an obligation of this group . I don?t vote what I really believe is not fair. I have only the task but no rights? We don?t have liaisons anymore, so let it go, but I don?t agree liaisons shall have no right no vote inside their ACs. They should be full members. Back to election , ALAC members need to go deeply as how candidates profile will be adequate or not for the board - which behavior is expected for a board member? Controlled person, lack of impulsiveness, balance and analytical person, hard worker, strategic, independent, with lot?s of time to dedicate to the task., no conflict of interest meaning, no contract with internet industry, deep knowledge of the ICANN issues, good involvement with several regions... and with all points taking into account I must support Carlton choice. I don?t vote, but I believe I have right to express my opinion openly, and here it is. Good vote to all for the benefit of LAC and At Large users.

Carlton -----Original Message----- From: lac-discuss-en-bounces(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:lac-discuss-en-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] On Behalf Of SAMUELS,Carlton A Sent: Thursday, November 25, 2010 9:13 AM To: lac-discuss-en(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org Subject: [lac-discuss-en] Our choice for the ICANN Board We support Alan Greenberg. That said, we shall not support a directed LACRALO vote. It really comes down to how effective you would wish the At-Large appointed director to be. We would have missed the critical points totally if you were to think it's about how much we like a person or how lockstep they agree with our every idea. In context, it would be useful to remind yourself that what we call the At-Large is very diverse. So all other qualifications being equal, effectiveness at the Board level rests on the personal dynamics of our choice with the people on the board. [I still recall witnessing my first ICANN board meeting where I saw a very attractive and bright woman being marginalized. The "Interests" simply shut her down!]. I am drawn to dissenters. But in this case user interests is way too important just to dissent; having influence is much better. We must encourage our representative to have influence. And then to use that influence to mediate the more flagrant disavowal of user or consumer interests that could arise at Board level. ICANN's Board is consistently peopled by persons representing the "Interests". If you're going to have influence from a position of one, we believe there are three things that apply 1) To be better prepared 2) To be more broadly knowledgeable across the various ICANN constituencies 3) Have the ability to use 1 and 2 as tools for driving consensus along a path consistently more favourable to user and/or consumer interests. This is the process of triangulation. It is the strategic model most utilized to succeed in the majority group when you are a minority. This is what we know, almost as birthright. We do not always agree with Alan. But to say he doesn't understand user or consumer interests cannot be supported on fact. For example, on the cross-ownership and related issues surrounding new gTLDs, we, as At-Large representatives, were diametrically opposed; he was for a priori regulation and I was for 'free trade'. In fact, some would have looked at this and concluded that he's more on the user side than I was on this issue. And while I deeply respect his views, I tend to loathe any indication of collective punishment. You do not penalize until and unless you have a case. Maybe the Board came to their conclusion by another meandering route. But in the end, they voted my perspective. Goes to show.

Re: [At-Large] [ALAC] ICANN staff repudiates community call for change on Morality & Public Order

Hi Evan. evan at telly.org (Evan Leibovitch) writes: > In the latest version of the new gTLD Applicant Guidebook, ICANN staff has > essentially screwed its community. One very important clarification. I believe your issue is not with staff, but with the board.

Well, I was going to point you to the board response to this, so you could understand our reasoning, but I can't find public documentation. :-( The board resolution at http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-25sep10-en.htm#2.9 is where the board recorded its decision, but there isn't a lot of detail there. But I can assure you that the board discussed a number of individual points in detail. The details at http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/explanatory-memo-morality-public-o…, give some of the rational, but are not written in a way that necessarily makes clear where the board weighed in and to what degree, I would suggest that before folk spend too many cycles responding to this in a formal manner, they would request that ICANN (board/staff) provide clarification (if it is needed) as to why the WG recommendations were not made. And, actually, wouldn't it be more appropriate to raise those questions first within the WG and have them do the followup? Presumably they aren't happy either, and that seem the natural place from which to raise any objections... Discussions would be most productive if they could be focused on the individual recommendations and why or why they were not accepted. And if the above rational doesn't provide that info, by all means ask for it. Thomas

Hi, I am writing this from Geneva. The originally "closed meeting" of MAG of IGF is now open to observers, and also they agreed to provide the LIVE feed of transcripts online. Go to the IGF main homepage: http://www.intgovforum.org It's there. And I was told that the UN General Assembly may vote the resolution of IGF extension as early as tomorrow, Wednesday. Unconfirmed, but the negotiation is almost done. izumi

Voting for the At-Large Board Director - Why We Vote
by Carlton Samuels Nov. 22, 2010

Nov. 22, 2010

Dear Friends & Colleagues: As we say in Jamaica, 'we fly de gate', meaning, the race is on. For the Board Seat #15, that is. This is not a job for the faint of heart; it will take a heavy investment of time and interest to do it right. It is not a job for a bomb thrower nor an anarchist; you can't and won't influence - and with one vote that is your biggest stick - if you piss off people. It is definitely not a job for a single issue candidate. Because the At-Large agenda goes beyond a single issue and shall hardly take the form we are most familiar. Thus its coverage will transcend any single issue and will embrace all of the issues decided by the Board in some way or other. So, what kind of representative are we are looking for? It is rather a job for someone who can and will have the time and disposition to invest of themselves in learning the issues before the board, inclusive of the mind-numbing minutiae that tends to host the devil and all his works. In fact, this requires a diligence to be more familiar with the issues than the other members BEFORE it reaches the board. For that is the single best way to 'manufacture' consent in collaborations. This job is for someone who has demonstrated a mastery of information gathering and sharing, for someone who can represent ideals even as you understand you must work with the situation at hand to shape outcomes, not to wish it be; you dance with them that brung ya. This is a job for someone with excellent listening skills, a mastery of nuanced speech and body language. Because winning coalitions are based on everyone thinking the other fella has his or her back. More than anything else, it demands trust; the trust from all of us that the ideals we have are shared. Having myself served on a few corporate boards, it is the best I can think of. For ICANN - for the nth time - is and remains an American corporation. And I see nothing in its behaviour that points to a socialization other than that one would expect of a corporation. Vote early. And vote well. [If this were 'machine politics' I'd exhort you to vote often! :-)] Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround =============================
