Acknowledgment of Second At-Large Summit Declaration
by Sébastien Bachollet Sept. 14, 2014

Sept. 14, 2014

Hello, Please find the link to the Board resolutions (meting on the 9th of September 2014) https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2014-09-09-en Among other things please have a look to the resolution about ATLAS II and to the note at the end of the resolution and before the rational. https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2014-09-09-en#3. e 1. Acknowledgment of Second At-Large Summit Declaration Whereas, the Second At-Large Summit (ATLAS II) was held at theICANN 50 meeting in London, United Kingdom in June 2014. Whereas, ATLAS II has built on the first summit organized in March 2009 at the ICANN 34 meeting in Mexico. Whereas, the Board has received the Final ATLAS II Declaration (https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/48338039/ATLAS-II-Declara tion-with-appendix-RC9.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1407420726000&api=v2 [PDF, 204 KB]). Whereas, the At-Large community continues the Summit's spirit of engagement and enthusiasm through a set of post-ATLAS II implementation activities. Resolved (2014.09.09.08), the Board acknowledges the Final ATLAS II Declaration, and extends its congratulations on the successful Summit held during ICANN 50 in London. Resolved (2014.09.09.09), the Board affirms the significance of the ATLAS II Summit and its outcomes as valuable input from the At-Large community of individual Internet users towards strengthening ICANN. Resolved (2014.09.09.10), the Board expresses its appreciation for the tremendous effort made by the At-Large community in delivering the At-Large Summit, the Final ATLAS II Declaration and the post-ATLAS II implementation activities. Resolved (2014.09.09.11), the Board looks forward to following up with the ALAC on any inputs that are provided to the Board resulting from the Final ATLAS II Declaration. Note: Three voting members of the Board abstained from voting on the resolutions. They stated for the record that they were supportive of the work resulting from the ATLAS, but wanted to draw attention to their encouragement for the Board to take future consideration of plans to develop the ATLAS into a regularly occurring event. Rationale for Resolutions 2014.09.09.08 2014.09.09.11The Second At-Large Summit (ATLAS II), which was made possible by the Board approving a special budget for the event, resulted in the production of the ATLAS II Declaration. This Declaration was sent to Steve Crocker by Olivier Crépin-Leblond on 7 August 2014. This document is the result of the work of approximately 150 At-Large Structures from 70 countries meeting face to face in London in June 2014. The Declaration includes the work of all of the 5 ATLAS II Thematic Working Groups: * Thematic Group 1 (TG1): Future of Multi-Stakeholder Models * Thematic Group 2 (TG2): The Globalization of ICANN * Thematic Group 3 (TG3): Global Internet: The User Perspective * Thematic Group 4 (TG4): ICANN Transparency and Accountability * Thematic Group 5 (TG5): At-Large Community Engagement inICANN It contains 43 Recommendations both the ICANN Board, to ICANNand to the ALAC, referenced as R-1 to R-43. It also contains 10 Observations for the wider Internet Community, referenced as O-1 to O-10. The At-Large community is currently beginning work on the implementation of the Recommendations and Observations through a special Taskforce. The ALAC is seeking feedback on the Declaration from the widerICANN community. This is an Organizational Administrative Function for which public comment is not required.

Thank you Olivier for the good work, all the best in your future endeavours.

According to the ALAC bylaws, I proceeded with a consensus call on the ALAC mailing list for Alan Greenberg to be selected as the next ALAC Chair by acclamation. This consensus call ended on Thursday 11 September 2014, 23:59 UTC, with no objections and a large number of messages supporting Alan's selection. As a result, it is my pleasure to be able to announce Alan Greenberg as the next ALAC Chair for a one year, renewable term, that will start on 16 October 2014. I would like to offer my congratulations to Alan for taking on such a position. I admit it has been a challenging four years for me, but Alan has what it takes to continue stewarding the great work that our community has done over the years. He is so experienced in this environment that I have no doubt he'll lead this community to new levels and I am absolutely confident that our common missions, grouped under the ICANN Bylaws Article XI, Section 2.4.a and 2.4.j will not only be fulfilled but exceeded in every sense of the term. Finally, I would also like to let Alan know of my personal continued support for the ALAC's mission. We are all part of the Internet's only operational multi-stakeholder system that has to make decisions which will affect many Internet users around the world. This is a fantastic opportunity to prove that the system works. We should expect to always be under the microscope but in front of unfounded criticism, I ask detractors: "so you think you can do better? Why don't you try yourself?" Alan, just like the many people in this community contributing at the level of their possibilities, has taken the step to try. So have you all, At-Large members. For this commitment I am really proud of you all - and I feel rich for having been given the chance to be part of it. Thank you.
