Hi Khaled, Each region that has formed as a RALO already has governance principles in place that allow it to take decisions. In the eventuality that we decide to go ahead with the scheme I propose, it would be up to each region to decide how they select the people who will attend meetings using criteria allowing them to implement the values they wish to promote, _________________________________________ Luc Faubert Conseiller en gouvernance TI et en gestion du changement / IT governance and change management consulting +1 514 236 5129 www.LucFaubert.com <http://www.lucfaubert.com/> www.LucFaubert.com/blog www.isoc.qc.ca <http://www.isoc.qc.ca/> www.ccig.ca <http://www.ccig.ca/> www.uqbm.qc.ca <http://www.uqbm.qc.ca/> www.maillons.qc.ca <http://www.maillons.qc.ca/> ________________________________ From: Khaled KOUBAA [mailto:khaled.koubaa@gmail.com] Sent: 13 mai 2007 23:12 To: jam@jacquelinemorris.com Cc: Luc Faubert; nick.ashton-hart@icann.org; 'At-Large Worldwide' Subject: Re: [At-Large] Global Fellowships Program Hi Luc, Nice idea. And I have a question to try to go forward with your proposition : Who in the region decides who will go ? and according to which process and policy ? and transparancy ! Best Khaled Jacqueline A.

We could do something like this: - ICANN decides to fund travel for a constant number of x At-Large individuals to every meeting, - x is distributed among the five regions proportionnaly to its number of registered ALS, - Each region then decides who will go (max. 1 individual/ALS) + 1 unaffiliated user. The number x could be revised annually to take into account the growth of ALS certifications. This would all be independent of the Fellowships program.

My apologies for helping to create one. For the regional meetings, EACH ALS may designate one delegate. This means that not one or two people are coming from the regions, but much larger numbers. As to who chooses to go: each ALS chooses who their delegate is. On 11/05/07, karen banks <karenb@gn.apc.org> <mailto:karenb@gn.apc.org> wrote: hi nick There is nothing official posted, but how it is working is like this: At each international meeting, at least one At-Large region is invited to send one delegate per At-Large Structure to a regional meeting at the ICANN Meeting. This is in addition to the members of the ALAC, who are also subsidised to attend each International Meeting. The region or regions to be invited is based upon where the international meeting is located. So, for San Juan, we have LAC and North America coming, for Lisbon it was Europe and Africa. For Asia it will be just the Asia/Australia/Pacific ALSes who will be attending I believe. thanks for this.. so, the ALAC members attend all meetings, and then 1 or 2 other folk woulc come along depending on the region of meeting? and, the process for deciding who goes.. is that rather informal also? or is that a formal ALAC committee procedure? sorry for so many questions, but the fellowship announcement has encouraged people to think about attending ICANN meetings, but naturally, ALAC is a comfort zone for many of the people we work with karen -- -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom UK Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011 USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 Win IM: ashtonhart@hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart@mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart _______________________________________________ ALAC mailing list ALAC@atlarge-lists.icann.org http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac_atlarge-l ists.icann.org www.alac.icann.org www.icannalac.org _______________________________________________ ALAC mailing list ALAC@atlarge-lists.icann.org http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac_atlarge-lists.icann .org www.alac.icann.org www.icannalac.org No virus found in this incoming message.
