Sebastian, 

 

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

Hi,

We have some work done with GAC, I would like to ask if a position for GAC liaison could be add?

And in the same time to ask the GAC to have an ALAC liaison.

All the best

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

 

ˇ        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.

ˇ        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.

ˇ        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.

ˇ        The deadline for nominations to be considered for these positions is October 14th, 2007 (14 days after this message) by midnight GMT.

ˇ        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

 

ˇ        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
