Hi Mohammed
I got an email this morning that sent a proposed agenda, and
asked for comments and edits, so obviously I didn’t think that this was
an agenda fixed in stone. I previously had sent a detailed draft agenda (last
week) and some items were included and some left out. Some of what I sent last
week I have not suggested be re-integrated.
I am not the only one who thinks that a more in-depth discussion
with fewer topics is more useful. There is obviously a difference in what the
meeting is seen as.
Generally, the meetings with Board members are there for an in-depth
2 way dialog on issues that are 1) before the Board and we want to make
our point before they meet, or 2) that are issues important to at large that
have been ignored by the ICANN processes and we want to raise them with the Board
as at a higher level, 3) strategic issues relating to the At Large and
its position within ICANN. 4) to gauge the Board’s reaction to
certain issues.
The forum for updating the Board on what we’re up to has traditionally
been the Public Forum statement.
If we want to change the format, that’s fine, but it isn’t
currently unanimous, as you can see from the discussions.
Also, some of the issues that were proposed by the sub-committee
have been dealt with, as 1) ALAC review – ICANN put out a statement
recently on this, stating where we are in the process, what the Board has
decided etc. 2) Domain tasting – is in a process that we asked for, and
we have had recent updates on this. Those for sure would be a waste of
time (IMO) to have Board members repeat the material that was recently
published.
3) gTLD and GNSO – we have been asked for and have been
developing written responses, so why discuss BEFORE we have sent those? We can
say – yes, we are nearly ready to send the statement, and look out for it…
but that’s what we should raise in the forum and workshop…

AtLarge communitymeeting with ICANN Board
Hi Jaq.
a group which is delegated by ALAC yesterday meeting which it had a meeting
today to prepare for ALAC & ICANN Board meeting tomorrow, and they
presented us with a proposal today "an early meeting".
i see some major changes on the proposal "speakers" and items, for me
i guess the earlier proposal is OK, regarding the time issue we can reduce the
time to 5 mins for issues and proprietaries the issues .
am sure at 7pm meeting we can agree on the issues and our prioritize our issues
.
Regards,
Mohamed
