Vittorio: The agenda for the upcoming ALAC conference call seems pretty packed as it is. Adding a completely new item at this late stage, I do not think, gives either the broader at-large community nor the ALAC sufficient time to comment on and/or revise the text you propose. For the sake of both good time management and transparent policy development processes let me suggest the following.. First, - introduce - the reasoning behind your proposal here (in this open space) and to the ALAC. From there, the document should be considered by the at-large list for comment and review. Likely people will comment, and revise the document. Once there's rough agreement (rough consensus), then let it come back to the ALAC for their approval. In summary, I think liaisons are ultimately responsible not to the ALAC but the larger at-large community. Thus, their views and comments should be considered first. If the community agrees (ie. there's consensus agreement) then, a polished document that does not require line by line analysis by the ALAC will result. This raises a question - does At-Large have a defined policy development process? if not, then I suggest that be added as a task to complete on or by the Los Angeles ICANN meeting in the Fall. regards, Robert --- Robert Guerra <rguerra@privaterra.ca> Managing Director, Privaterra Tel +1 416 893 0377 On 7-Jul-07, at 8:52 AM, Vittorio Bertola wrote:
All,
in San Juan, some people mentioned that it would be nice to establish reference measurements of the work of the liaisons, or actual KPIs. I have given a try to the concept, and drafted a list of quantitative and qualitative measurements that could be used to have an objective indication of the level of commitment and effectiveness of the liaisons. Also, something similar could be developed for the Chair and other internal positions.
I do not know whether this could become a part of the work on the rules of procedure, or what else, but I find it a worthy idea and it would be good if we could follow up on it, gathering further ideas and finalizing the document. Perhaps we can discuss this in the conference call?
