I think there are opinions about the intention, participation, selection of those selected for ATLAS III who have not taken the necessary knowledge about the whole process. And it seems that I have not taken into account the participation in ATLAS I and Atlas II. And it is very bad, it distorts a whole process that had a wide dissemination before, now generated a discussion that makes us lose time with issues that were clarified before the selection of the applicants. If they did not take knowledge before for not having participated, I want to emphasize that in the ALAC webinar we had very few participants (never more than twenty ...). In those that were requirements for ATLAS III in which I participated, there were more than 70, and there were two equal. All of them became aware that webinars were one of the requirements to be selected. There were others related to participation in its Ralo, ALAC and / or ICANN. I think thats enough ... I believe that the demands try to ensure an active participation, that they justify the investment of ICANN. I want to emphasize this concept: investment. Because if the objectives fail, this will be an expense, with the responsibility of ALAC. The issue of investment or expense, I did note in an ALAC meeting with the ICANN board when we talk about the translation services.

We asked for people who wanted to participate in ATLAS III, and all we are saying here is that, to hopefully no ones surprise, we actually expect them to participate.

Because it seems to me to be a bit "bait and switch" to impose requirements and penalties AFTER the application process has ended, and the winning candidates have been chosen and are making ready to travel.

Once that documentation was received it was official to proceed with Travel arrangements. Additionally, during the different sessions a visual (look-around) was done, since all Fellows should have stated their schedule for the dates at each ICANN Meeting. I the case of our NASIG daily attendance was required.

This is a serious, professional responsibility and should be treated as such. For a start, I would suggest that participants who fail to participate should be ineligible for funding and elections for 3 years. I look forward to conversation on this topic leading to action by the ALAC.
