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

The visa to Canada and fall of participation of LAC in ATLAS III
by Sergio Salinas Porto Oct. 28, 2019

Oct. 28, 2019

Dear friends, many of our partners, like our brothers in Africa, have fallen into disgrace that their visa has been denied, this is not only frustrating but also that puts our ATLAS in a difficult citation. I don't know why we chose a place to do an ATLAS where crossing the border of that country (Canada) is similar to obtaining a prize for belonging to a select minority. But now we are dancing so in the middle of this dance I ask Is there anyone who can do something so that our partners can travel to Montreal in just six (6) days? So far we have these people in complicated situations: Harold Arches Antonio Medina Gomez Vrikson Iván Acosta Velásquez KInd Regards *Sergio Salinas Porto**Presidente Internauta Argentina - LACRALO/ICANN <https://atlarge.icann.org/ralos/lacralo>**Asociación Argentina de Usuarios de Internet <http://www.internauta.org.ar/>/FeTIA <http://www.fetia.org.ar/>**FUILAC- Federación de Usuarios de Internet de LAC <https://fuilac.org>**facebook: salinasporto <http://www.facebook.com/salinasporto> **twitter: sergiosalinas <http://twitter.com/sergiosalinas>**Mobi:+54 9 223 5 215819**"Ojalá podamos ser desobedientes, cada vez que recibimos órdenes que humillan nuestra * * conciencia o violan nuestro sentido común" Eduardo Galeano*

The BCEC is expected to finalize its selection by the end of 2019. Following the publication of the BCEC slate, unsuccessful applicants may opt to have their candidacy considered by the five RALOs. The overall selection process will conclude by Wednesday, 22 April 2020. The successful applicant will be announced on or before that date. How to Submit an Expression of Interest (EoI) Form Interested individuals should begin the process by reviewing the At-Large Board Member Candidate Requirements<https://community.icann.org/x/W5YCBw> 2019-2020 and the At-Large Board Member Candidate Reference Links & Resources<https://community.icann.org/x/Z4WGBg>.

Re: [At-Large] ATLASIII Participation
by Alan Greenberg Oct. 17, 2019

Oct. 17, 2019

Carlton, Greg beat me to it, but it is not an issue of travel as a "benefit". It is a resource, and all we are saying is that if we are to allocate that resource to a specific person, then we expect that it will be well used. The issue of electing/selecting someone for a position and then not having them deliver quite a different one, although again there *may* be travel funding involved. And yes, if we have someone who does not deliver and then select them again, there is a problem, and one I think that we need to address, but that sadly, many others feel that we should not, and simply heed the will of the electors who seem to at times reward the behaviour that some of us would like to punish (whether we have the tools or not). As you or someone said in a previous message, travel is a tool that facilitates volunteer contributions, nothing more or less. But it is a tool constrained by resources available and we should ALWAYS be paying attention to using our resources in a way that benefits At-Large and ICANN. That applies to travel, just as it applies to the extremely valuable resource of time donated (ie at no monetary cost to us or ICANN) by our volunteers. Neither should be squandered. Alan At 09/07/2019 10:07 PM, Carlton Samuels wrote: Hi Roberto: Funny enough, we are closer to total agreement than you imagine. You see, your second paragraph got to the heart of the issue. What to do when the job is not done? My response is to tell the same persons to their face that they did not contribute much. And, message the folks who elect them as representative as much. It's like electing a common fool for president and we blame the fool and not the voters who pulled the lever for the fool. In my corner of empire we tend to elect crooks, never fools. So we know what is our problem. I'm suggesting we can fix those problems without dangling travel or other funding as benefits to be removed as punishment. Especially if it devalues your efforts and mine. I have seen volunteers struggle to assimilate and articulate a position on an issue. I have seen so-called tourist travelers mature and make useful contributions. It is a crap shoot. So, I want to reinforce the fact that not everybody is interested in every topic the At-Large gets all bothered about. Indeed, I have seen a few that IMHO, isn't worth a bucket of warm spit to the end user that we allegedly represent in names and numbers policy matters. Not everybody need be interested in every topic to be a volunteer. Whosoever will may come. And, we can help them find their way in....or out. Best Carlton On Tue, 9 Jul 2019, 5:47 pm Roberto Gaetano, < roberto_gaetano(a)hotmail.com<mailto:roberto_gaetano@hotmail.com>> wrote: Hi Carlton. As usual, we agree on some things and we disagree on other. I fully support your view that travel, in particular when tickets are provided at the lowest possible cost - which implies also the lowest level of comfort and service - is not a benefit but "the tool that it is to get a job done”. Where we disagree is what to do if and when the job is not done. IMHO, ALAC does not have just the option, but the duty, to analyse whether the limited funds should be allocated in a different way to maximise the result. That is, as you correctly put, "to get a job done”. Incidentally, if ALAC does not monitor the fund allocation and show that there is no waste, ICANN will do. And I personally don’t like at all this outcome. But since I am well-known for making examples that are a bit extreme, and sometimes drive people mad, please allow me to be up to my reputation and mention this case. These days in Italy there are a couple of cases of public administrations, including a public hospital, where employees have been caught being repeatedly absent from work while colleagues were clocking them in and out. Am I the only one who sees similarities?

But I must register my profound and utter disagreement with you here. And, on principle. At-Large representatives are volunteers. Largely. I am seethe at this indignity that a measure of my voluntarism connects to me flying somewhere to volunteer my time, my energy, my intellectual capital and yes, my labour, all as public goods. I would not wish to be so judged. And what is proposed is nothing but an episode of the slave's torment; doing what he thinks would appease his master by providing the hog grease for the leather whip that stipes his own back. I came to this opposition from bitter experience. It started when I was the only elected LACRALO official. And in a period when travel was dangled as a benefit to volunteers. I couldn't give a tinker's damn since by that time I had already racked up 2 million plus airmiles. And traveling steerage class is not my idea of a fun time. In that period of time, LACRALO arguably provided the most egregious examples of the ICANN tourist traveler. And I suffered the slings of my northern metropolitan colleagues for vehemently opposing sanctions on the then LACRALO ALAC representatives. [I am ever grateful to Evan for supporting me on principle!] My argument was those persons behaved badly as individuals. I told them so. One has hated me to this day. But inspite of him, I adamantly refused to support travel sanctions against them. That action reinforces that rather louche idea that travel is a benefit rather than the tool that it is to get a job done. And to hypothecate the tool as security for work to be done seems immoral to me. Value is assigned my time and intellectual capital by others; I sell them for fee. I got home less than 2 hours ago from Suriname. Most in this thread would likely not even know where that is. it is a hump to get to. And, somebody paid me for that. As a volunteer, my time, intellectual capital and my own coin have been placed in trust and in the service of the At-Large. An airplane ticket in steerage does not begin to compensate me as volunteer. It is no benefit to me or for me. It is rude and crude to suggest, must less legislate, that it is. My position has not changed in these many years because the same response offends reason and conscience. It is for the At-Large constituents to pick representatives. And this seemingly Pavlovian response proffered is and remains a bad policy idea. It is inimical to the spirit of volutarism - real voluntarism! - that premises the At-Large engagement.
