It is important to remember that GAC has to decide to accept an At-Large or ALAC GAC Liaison. ALAC can select a person in this capacity, but if the GAC will not receive that person (or any other person) in that capacity, they will be unable to work.

Thanks Sébastien - I take this as the nomination for me
for the GAC liaison, and I am honored for that and would
like to confirm my acceptance of nomination.

Having been at ALAC for a long time, I feel the importance
of ALAC to have closer contacts with GAC, both are sort
of supposed to represent the "Public", thus we have some common
issues, but from rather different positions.
As you all may have noticed, though both are "advisory", GAC
advice has more weight to the Board than ALAC, with good
reasons, but by having closer relationship with GAC, I think
our voices will also have more relevance.

Thanks,

izumi


2007/10/3, Sébastien Bachollet <sebastien.bachollet@isoc.fr>:




Thanks for all those inputs.

I would like to suggest that we ask Izumi to follow the discussion with GAC
with the goal to set up a reciprocical liaison between Alac and Gac.

And we can discuss that as one of the topic for our LA meeting.

All the best

I am looking into this. I do not believe that 'At-Large Advisory Group' is
the same as ALAC though - it is before my time, but I believe that the
advisory group is an entity that has come and gone...

According to the GAC website, the liaison to the "At Large Advisory Group"


is  Carlos Valdez. Same as in 2003.

If we had one before, I can ask GAC to send one again. Will send to the GAC


Chair about it ASAP.

The mentioned report has a date of - sept 9, 2003 - .. Which is quite  a


while ago. it is a precedent we can cite, but would like something more


recent.





Are there meeting meetings we can check to see if a GAC rep has shown up


since then?

Well, there has been a GAC Liaison with ALAC for some time . . .





Réciprocité oblige.

  Sébastien,








  I have mixed opinions about a formal ALAC /GAC representative exchange.


Let me ask some questions to ascertain your proposal.














  1. What would the strategic value be for ALAC ?


  2. Would adding yet another liaison position not spread us too thin?


  3. What we need it to increase our official contributions and comments


to ongoing ICANN processes . Would an ALAC rep on GAC do this?








  4. What would the "official process be to get an ALAC seat on the GAC".


Who would need to approve the request - the GAC, the board, or a change


in the ICANN bylaws.








  5. What changes would be needed to the ALAC bylaws and/or rules of


procedure to allow for this request.








  6. What status would we want to give the GAG rep? Voting, observer?








  Personally, I would prefer to have more ALAC reps on key strategic


structures - such as the board - before having a token person on a GAG.


Then again, I'm open to comments . Convince me otherwise..














  regards








  Robert

    Objet : [At-Large] ALAC Positions open for nominations 2007-2008











    ELECTION CALL – nominations are now being called for the election of


the Officers of the ALAC.











    The following FOUR (4) Officers of the ALAC are to be elected.





    1.      Chair of the ALAC





    2.      Vice Chair (1) of the ALAC





    3.      Vice Chair (2) of the ALAC





    4.      Rapporteur











    ·        All officers serve for a term of one year starting from the


closure of an Annual General Meeting and ending at the closure of the


following Annual General Meeting.





    ·        Only members of the ALAC (or those who will meet the


eligibility criteria for nominations after the closure of the Annual


General Meeting in LA at the next ICANN meeting) may be nominated or


self-nominate.





    ·        Nominations are to be made by a posted message to the public


ALAC list, and any nomination (that is not a self-nomination) has to


be accepted by the nominee to the public ALAC list.





    ·        The deadline for nominations to be considered for these


positions is October 14th, 2007 (14 days after this message) by


midnight GMT.





    ·        An election summary of all valid nominations and the details


of the actual vote will then be forwarded to this public ALAC list.











    Nominations are also being called (under the aforementioned process)


for  the following three (3) liaison positions  (please note current


liaisons who continue to fulfil the eligibility are entitled to be


nominated and re-elected)











    1.      GNSO liaison





    2.      ccNSO liaison





    3.      SSAC  liaison











    ·        Liaisons are NOT required to be a member of the ALAC (but


they may be).











    At the ALAC AGM appointments to Working Groups, List activity


co-ordination, projects, task forces  and other bodies related to


ICANN will also be reaffirmed or reassigned if appropriate, as there


is no  requirement for such appointments to be made from members of


the ALAC any person wishing to make themselves available to the ALAC


for such appointment should also indicate this to the public ALAC list


at this time for consideration of current appointment positions and


those that may come to pass from time to time in the coming year.











    Currently there are  appointments requiring allocation for the


following four (4) existing activities (all ALAC Working Group List


activities), and it is expected additional appointments will be


required to be made by the ALAC during the coming year:





    1.      IDNs





    2.      WHOIS





    3.      Registrant/Registrar Relations





    4.      IPv4 to IPv6 Liaison











    Any questions can be addressed to me or to staff@alac.icann.org.











    Sincerely





    Jacqueline A. Morris





    ALAC Chair
