My abstentions
by Wendy Seltzer May 30, 2007

May 30, 2007

I abstained from the last round of ALS voting to object to the ad hoc nature of these votes (including pressured revisions to evaluation criteria. lack of clarity in the due diligence, and multiple extensions of time while voting was underway) and the manner in which ICANN staff has attempted to influence them. I hope these substantive and procedural irregularities will be corrected before the next round of voting. --Wendy

NA Conference Call
by Mr. Robert Guerra May 29, 2007

May 29, 2007

A quick note of thanks to all those who participated in today's NA At large conference call. Particular thanks to Sebastian and Nick who joined us from Europe. The call lasted about an hour and a half. Brett as the chair and Nick will be following-up in the coming days with action items that were discussed. My personal view is that the call was productive despite having spending a good chunk of time on OP related issues. I hope the minutes are available soon as I know a few people couldn't make it. regards Robert

Re: [At-Large] [EURO-Discuss] [EURO-ALS] At-Large EURALO 2007 Election Results

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 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/ <--------
