[At-Large] RES: [ALAC-Internal] Notice of Opening for Board Liaison Nominations Period

June 25, 2008

      I will follow your path, Alan, agreeing and disagreeing  about your position and not state about the quality of the candidates, because both are very very good ones. 

This was my rationale to appoint a candidate:

•                   It is true that the board dynamics is quite difficult to understand, but not for who with  an important history in ICANN, as Wendy  (or myself) has, and 5 meetings f2f a year plus at least once a month call give a good opportunity to interact with members specially when you already know most of them.   

•                   However, it is also true that "fresh blood", with other experiences and way to address things, brings a fresh view from board members about ALAC  and our issues,  and probably more attention  to listen what he ( she ) has to say.  ( I am trying to raise here the " I know what  Wendy will say" personal reaction from board members, that will demand more effort from a well known person to convince members than a new one)

Best,

Assunto: Re: [ALAC-Internal] [At-Large] Notice of Opening for Board Liaison Nominations Period

I was going to say this at our face-to-face meeting, but since Izumi 

introduced this, I will follow up.

First, I need to make clear that this is NOT a statement about either 

of our candidates. I made the exact same statement last year when 

Wendy was the new contender.

I too think that we need to consider this from two aspects:

- the effectiveness of a Board member is at least partially dependant 

on his or her ability to get used to the dynamics of the Board and 

establish good working relationships with other Board members. That 

is not to say that I would advocate a Board-liaison-for-life - I 

don't but we need to give some time for things to gel, and I think 

that one year is simply not sufficient.

- we need to consider how our actions look to other parts of ICANN. 

Most other Board members have moderately long longevity on the Board 

and changing our Liaison every year gives us an immature image.

That being said at ANY time that we feel that our Liaison is simply 

not representing us effectively, we need to take swift action to 

either fix the problem or remove the person with due speed. Hopefully 

fixing the problem would be possible by suitable discussions and counselling.
