==> 1.g (new section) on criteria for officers - this is what I came up with as a first draft:
----- g. [Officers shall be freely chosen by the ALAC, according to the following criteria:
They shall be persons who are current or former members of the ALAC, or are anyway familiar with the activities and functioning of the ALAC;
They shall accept to serve on behalf of the ALAC by acting for the good of individual Internet users and the Committee, working to bridge differences and build consensus, but also recognizing difference and enabling different opinions to be shared.
It's not just the collective views, but the minority viewpoints when those differ on the committee. Since ALAC is already a collection of five regional groups, which are themselves collections of local organizations, differences of opinion at the ALAC level are to be expected and should be shared with other ICANN entities. --Wendy -- Wendy Seltzer -- wendy@seltzer.org phone: 718.780.7961 // fax: 718.780.0394 // cell: 914.374.0613 Visiting Assistant Professor of Law, Brooklyn Law School Fellow, Berkman Center for Internet & Society http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/seltzer.html http://www.chillingeffects.org/
