pitch to the board re: MS model
by Marita Moll Nov. 6, 2019

Nov. 6, 2019

My thoughts about our pitch to the board later on this week re: the evolution of the MS model. We can only expect to have 15 min on this so am keeping it fairly narrowly focussed: Our focus would be on improving our ability to grow the MS volunteer community, increasing diversity, increasing participation. The goal has to be to build a system that can attract and retain volunteers in multiple locations and local contexts who can engage at multiple levels. There is no one size that fits all. In this challenge, the community must lead. That is where the expertise is, that's where the local knowledge is and where the solutions will come from. We need to innovate, take some risks and think outside of the box. Good theory, but in reality, there are lots of hurdles -- it is not so easy to get adequate funds moving in the direction of innovative community outreach programs. --- offer a couple of real examples. *The ask: In the interests of bringing more people into our communities to deal with the ever increasing workload, will the Board formally recognize and encourage efforts to innovate in this challenge of growing our community -- by lowering some of the barriers.* Marita

Re: [At-Large] ALS /individual Criteria and Expectations
by DANIEL NANGHAKA Nov. 3, 2019

Nov. 3, 2019

Dear All, In reference to the discussion and presentation that was being conducted by the Alan, I put forward an observation, Apologies in case I misheard the response from where one mentioned that when he's given an opportunity we shall be able to have many more Individual contributing and being active. I strongly believe that member volunteering should not be based on the decision of an individual, once one has the passion and believe they can effectively contribute to the various processes then they should be willing. The interaction between the ALS and their respective communities has got to be reviewed. Secondly, there are some ALSes whose work is not directly related to ICANN objectives. All these bring ideas on how the ALSes need to be reviewed. Let's not look at numbers without impact. Let's look at the impact and effective contribution from the wider community. Furthermore, I suggest that we have a discussion on the mailing list and also an online calls/meetings be scheduled where we discuss and deliberate on this issue. We should not wait for face 2 face meetings to discuss these critical issues. Despite the time constraints during ICANN66, thinking aloud we could have an unconference session to discuss this issue. The Bye-Laws are clear, work was done and I believe this is the time to do the review of the process involved in engaging the both ALS /individual Criteria and Expectations. Daniel K. Nanghaka ᐧ
