Dear All,
The ALAC Executive Committee wants to get community feedback from throughout the At-Large community on the current thinking which various community members have come up with on how to appoint a voting ICANN Board Director. You may find the current information and thinking at https://st.icann.org/working-groups/index.cgi?at_large_director_appointment_ process.
I am concerned that the initial comments suggest a tendency for the ALAC to select ALAC - insider selects insider - which is not at all what was on my mind when I was arguing for "publicly chosen directors" on the review Working Group. I would look sadly upon a process that was pre-loaded in favor of ALAC insiders and did not have as its dominant features a candidacy process and a selection process that was open to any and all internet users. --karl--
