Election of the ALAC Liaison to the ICANN Board of Directors - result ?
by Robert Guerra Sept. 10, 2007

Sept. 10, 2007

Dear colleagues: The At-Large Advisory committee (ALAC) voted last week to elect its Liaison to the ICANN board of directors. using their username/ password to the BigPulse voting system each ALAC member, was asked to cast a ballot - to choose - between - Vittorio Bertola & Wendy Seltzer (see attached screenshot of ballot) The polls closed on Aug 31 (this past Friday). As the voting was done online, one would have thought that the results would have been automatically published. For some reason, that hasn't happened. That being said, no doubt the results will be announced this week. regards, Robert --- Robert Guerra <rguerra(a)privaterra.ca> Managing Director, Privaterra Tel +1 416 893 0377

Izumi, you have now focused on the truly bizarre part. On our LAST conference call (which is a true ALAC meeting, despite not being in person) we decided to do two things. 1. Finalize our rules of procedure including election procedures and vote on them, and then 2. Proceed with the election (we had already deferred the election already because we did not yet have formal election procedures). For reasons that remain unclear, we completely ignored item 1. The rules were not cleaned up and they still omitted terms that we had informally decided that were important. There was no vote. But we proceeded to have an election despite the absence of formal rules and process. What makes you think that any decision in the next conference call will have any greater chances of being adhered to?

Proposals going forward for ALAC..
by Robert Guerra Sept. 9, 2007

Sept. 9, 2007

Looking over the (internal) ALAC emails, it seems that the deadline for RALOS to submit names was the 30th of Aug, with ALAC finalizing the names on the 15th. In fact, we have more time (see email below) However, not sure the deadlines have been met - at all. Regional secretariats have only just started to post their recommendations, and our board liaison election - was also to have been concluded well in advance of the nomcom deadline. Might I propose the following for our next call.. 1. Board Liaison poll be available . Not sure why a poll has to be run to make the result of a poll known. The consensus seems to be to make the result available... 2. Transparency in Nomcom selection process. Deciding a list of 5 names on a call, i think isn't the most appropriate way to decide. We need to be more open about it.. Thus, I would like to have the candidate information available ahead of any conference call. In fact, i'd rather we move the discussion to the nomcom selection process off the call - and do so on ALAC's closed list. In the meantime, the recommendations and/or suggestions posted by RALOs and/or regional secretariats should be on the ALAC wiki (after all, that's what it is for) 3. I'd like to support Veronica's offer to plan a one day team building and strategy session for ALAC for the LA meeting. Given we seem to be organizationally challenged and have little strategic vision - we need to do something about it. Said strategy session should have a session - without staff - so that we can openly discuss strategy and planning in private. I think a private strategy session would be most welcome, and quite useful. that's it for now. Suffering from a terrible bout of pneumonia. regards Robert Begin forwarded message: > From: George Sadowsky <george.sadowsky(a)gmail.com> > Date: September 8, 2007 1:48:58 PM EDT > To: Robert Guerra <rguerra(a)privaterra.ca> > Cc: "Jacqueline A.

Dear At-large Community, At San Juan Meeting, the ICANN Board requests that that the ICANN community including the ALAC provide the Board with responses to the published list of issues and questions that need to be addressed in order to move forward with IDN ccTLDs associated with the ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes in a manner that ensures the continued security and stability of the Internet. The Board requests status reports regarding progress by the conclusion of the ICANN meeting in Los Angeles in October 2007. The ALAC IDN Working Group, which was set up in May 2007 and charied by Hong Xue, commenced drafting the status report from July 2007 and sent out the first draft to the regional lists for public comments from August 2007. For the Working Group working plan, please refer to https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?alac_idn_working_group.

Nominating Committee Candidates 2007

Sept. 7, 2007

Hi all, As 1/2 of your acting Secretariat for the NARALO, the below was forwarded to me for distribution. Although we are rather past the time limit with this, due to the present delays with the vote on the ALAC Liaison, we now have more time to discuss our options. I had already forwarded the website link to Jacqueline so that nobody was left out but it looks like new things have been happening. So, please circulate any input that you might have ASAP so that all views will be represented. Thank you, Darlene Darlene A.

Alan, Beau and I still have to discuss the names. In the meantime, it would be great to get comments from NA Ralo on the list of candidates identified so far. A rather interesting development is that Michael Geist indeed might be interested. I had emailed him earlier but not received a reply. As luck would have it, I spoke to him during yesterday's CIRA meeting and seemed interested. However, said he'd need consult a colleague to find out what the time commitment is like and get back to me ASAP. Should he confirm, then my short list would be Wendy and Michael. Thought I haven't committed myself to supporting anyone - Thought i'd share what my current preferences are. That being - one canadian - Michael (if he confirms), if not Evan (who has confirmed) - and one person from the USA - Wendy (in no particular order). I mention two names, as Wendy is also a candidate for Board liaison. The decision on ALAC board liaison should have been known by now. The results are being withheld for reasons that , well, i can't reasonably explain. I won't say more.... Suffice it to say.. that should Wendy be elected as liaison, then my short list would be entirely Canadian - namely Michael & then Evan (again in no order) Please share this message with NA RALO and other related at-large lists. regards Robert -- https://st.icann.org/naralo/index.cgi? na_nominating_committee_candidates_2007 * Hugh Dierker [USA] o current chair of the GNSO's General Assembly + Proposed by Danny Younger + Confirmed * Michael Geist [Canada] o Professor, University of Ottawa Law School + Proposed by Robert Guerra + Contacted at CIRA annual meeting (Sept 6, 2007) + Will shortly reply if interested. + Bio: Brief Bio, Complete CV * Evan Leibovich [Canada] o ALS Representative, CLUE (Canada) + Proposed by Beau & Robert + Confirmed * Wendy Seltzer [USA] o Proposed by Robert Guerra o Confirmed * Danny Younger [USA] o Contacted - not available regards, Robert --- Robert Guerra <rguerra(a)privaterra.ca> Managing Director, Privaterra Tel +1 416 893 0377 _______________________________________________ NA-Discuss mailing list NA-Discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/na-discuss_atlarge-lists .icann.org <http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/na-discuss_atlarge-list s.icann.org> --- Draft MoU with ICANN: http://www.icannwiki.org/NA_RALO_MOU Draft Operating Principles: http://www.icannwiki.org/NA_RALO_OP Draft Code of Conduct: http://www.icannwiki.org/NARALO_Code_of_Conduct

Please note that I have been one of the ALAC appointees to the 2007 NomCom. I am sure that ALAC can ask for references about my contributions to the process to the chair of that committee - Mr. George Sadowsky, or it´s associate chair, Mr. Adam Peake. I would also like to share/disclose with ALAC members the following thoughts: My strong assertion about the need of a minimum knowledge about ICANN, it´s people and it´s process to serve on the NomCom could have been deemed erroneous by many LacRalo representatives, since I have received some criticism regarding that issue. Many ALSs representatives believe that these kind of processes must include new faces in order to be truly inclusive. I believe that it´s crucial for the ALAC representatives to the NomCom to have some basic knowledge about the ICANN processes and the people who is currently involved, in order to perform a good and fair assessment of the qualities of each candidate, and it´s potential contributions to the process. I also have in mind that according to the secret consultation performed by the LacRalo secretariat, I´m not the most supported candidate. I´m obviously disappointed about this fact, and I believe that both issues - my assertions regarding the appointee qualifications and the LacRalo favoritisms- are connected. Moreover, I suppose that one is a consequence of the other. In any case, I thought the committee could find useful the above offered explanations. Best regards, Sebastian

Agenda for next Board meeting + RAA consultation
by Vittorio Bertola Sept. 7, 2007

Sept. 7, 2007

All, this is the agenda for the next ICANN Board meeting, which will be held next Wednesday at 5am in central European time: * Status Report on discussions with the UPU regarding .POST * Status Report on discussions relating to renewal agreements for .AERO and .MUSEUM * IANA Related Issues: o Delegation of the .KP (North Korea) Domain o Delegation of the .ME (Montenegro) Domain o Delegation of the .RS (Serbia) Domain o Redelegation of the .YU (former Yugoslavia) Domain o Update on Outstanding Redelegation Requests * Board Governance Committee's Recommendation regarding Nominating Committee Chairman * Board Governance Committee's Recommendation regarding the Academic Representative to the next Nominating Committee * Board Governance Committee's Update on Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Ethics * Board Finance Committee's Recommendations regarding CFO Authorities * Meetings Committee's Recommendations regarding ICANN Meeting Site * Approval for public comment posting of the ICANN Board Review Terms of Reference * Information Update on GNSO's WHOIS Policy Development * Approval of Board Minutes from Special Meeting of the ICANN Board, 14 August 2007 * Other Business Any comment / input is welcome. I just got back after five days with almost no connectivity. I will try to deal with the backlog of emails tomorrow, and also to provide a Board liaison report before the next ALAC call (not much to report anyway). I also remind everyone that, a few days ago, I posted a second draft of our submission for the consultation on the RAA, to the working group list. There were several comments, so a third iteration might be necessary - at the same time, I encourage any ALAC member or other person who is not on the working group list to have a look at the second draft at http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/raa-wg_atlarge-lists.icann.org/att… so to anticipate possible comments. The consultation deadline is next Monday, I discussed with staff the possibility of getting a few more days, but still I would like to get all comments posted as soon as possible. Regards, -- vb.
