Dear all, As a number of community members experienced problems with visa applications, shouldn't be rational to find a solution for those who couldn't get visas to attend ATLASIII. The ATLASIII scholarship can be extended to the next/other ICANN meeting, for instance. Perhaps, other solutions can be discussed, as well. Thank you and regards, Narine On Thu, 1 Aug 2019, 22:25 Karl Auerbach, <karl@cavebear.com> wrote:

I was involved in the Mexico Summit (inter alia by creating the acronym :-))) ). In my opinion the Mexcio summit did have an impact. We worked on short "Resolutions" which were handed over to the Board. One resolution was on At Large representation in the ICANN Board. We were calling for two voting seats in the Board. We did not get the two voting seats
It is worth remembering that when ICANN was still "NewCo" that a promise was made that the Board of Directors would be dominated by a majority of seats chosen by the public. So asking for two seats is asking for a crust of stale bread when we were promised a feast.
I do remember the horrific pushback we got when our 2009 board "At Large Advisory Committee" suggested any public seat (one of which became the one we have now.)
Take a look at my "concurrence" beginning at page 32:
