Some thoughts about the draft unaffiliated Individuals Mobilization Working Party Report
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh March 16, 2021

March 16, 2021

I must express some concerns regarding the approaches made in the draft Unaffiliated Individuals Mobilization Working Party Report at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uE4ue7roIpYY_OeX_A6-BtrxcKOkq-PcPhXRj8n… At-Large wants to recruit individuals to the At-Large constituency who are not affiliated to At-Large Structures but care about the issues pertaining to ICANN's remit as they impact individual Internet users and to volunteer to participate in policy determinations. However, the proposed report makes for potential individuals to be treated outside of the At-Large Community, as if they aren't "real" members but “lower tier” members of a RALO. Also, based on a person's origin, individuals are given different rights to participate and to be considered for positions in At-Large. The proposals in the draft final report would - Add complexity to At-Large processes for individuals to join At-Large making At-Large even more confusing to outsiders (and even ICANN “insiders” in other AC/SOs). - Doesn’t provide incentives for individuals to join At-Large since they are given wording that At-Large representatives can do certain things and be recognized, but as individuals, you do not have those rights and responsibilities of At-Large representatives. - Makes other AC/SOs more attractive since it's easier to understand and easier to join. - Removes check and balances in how individuals in At-Large are even recognized to participate compared to how At-Large Structures are accredited. Consider the term “RALO individual members”. It serves to send the message that the “RALO member” can only be involved in RALO activities and not At-Large activities and not part of the global At-Large Community. A better term would be something like “At-Large Individual” which would show that an individual is part of the At-Large Community. Consider the process by which “RALO individual members” join : - individual fills out a form designed by the RALO (not a common At-Large one) so there’s 5 forms with different wording and requirements (not counting translations) - RALO will apply its own procedures for accepting or rejecting application - RALO Leadership (RALO Chair, Vice-Chairs (if any), and Secretariat) informs Staff whether the RALO accepts or rejects the application. - Staff informs applicant. The lack of transparency contrasts with how At-Large applications by organisations are handled. The check and balances by having the ALAC made aware of the RALO advice towards At-Large applications is removed. RALO leadership can make a decision on an individual without even the RALO members themselves not being aware of an individual’s application depending on the RALO procedures. RALO leadership could even discriminate against individuals they perceive as threats to their leadership. There should be a standard process by which individuals anywhere in the world apply as At-Large individuals, similar to how organisations apply to At-Large. Kind Regards, Dev Anand

Fwd: YouTube Streaming of ICANN 70 Sessions
by Maureen Hilyard March 11, 2021

March 11, 2021

Dear RALO Chairs and the At-Large Community I need your help in promoting the Youtube streaming pilot, during ICANN 70. At the behest of the ALAC, ICANN has increased the number of sessions, during ICANN 70, that will be streamed to Youtube as well as available via Zoom. There are a couple of key benefits to watching these high interest sessions via Youtube. First, there’s no need to register for the ICANN meeting. A person can simply go to the YouTube link and start watching the session. Second, if there are a number of participants with their cameras on, Youtube delivers the session as a single video feed rather than the bandwidth hungry separate channels, used by Zoom. This makes it easier for those with less bandwidth to watch the presentations. Accordingly, it might even be beneficial for some folks to *dial* into the Zoom meeting, so they can more easily ask questions, but watch the session on Youtube. Turnout for the Youtube pilot during ICANN 69 was quite low because it still required registration and we did not learn about which sessions would be simulcast until very late. This time is different. We have both the sessions and the public links to propagate out to the broader community! The following are the sessions that will be made available for public streaming. 23 March: Plenary Session: Governmental Regulatory Developments and Community Discussion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CMyHagyO0Y 25 March: Plenary Session: Registry Voluntary Commitments: Getting it Right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul7SCjQGE6E 25 March: ICANN Public Forum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFQysAgPOA0 25 March: ICANN Public Board Meeting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQn-LLHj_uY The two plenaries, in particular, are of great interest to a broad range of people, interested in Internet Governance, even if they have not been closely tracking ICANN Policy development. The first plenary, on Regulatory Developments, speaks to the tension between a single internet for everyone and one which is splintered, due to national regulation. The second plenary, on Registry Voluntary Commitments, will focus on how new gTLDs will better keep their promises to the community, regarding who can register a domain name, including in heavily regulated areas. Please make a point to evangelize these sessions and the accompanying YouTube links throughout your communications channels. The IGF USA had 1,500 people participate via Youtube in 2020 so we know the interest is there. If we are unsuccessful in promoting YouTube as an alternative method to participate, it is likely that ICANN will not continue these efforts. Let’s make a point to exploit this hard won resource for the individual internet user community. Thank you. Maureen, Jonathan and Joanna
