Thanks Carlton, Being away from ALAC, I am still AtLarge and share the same ideas with all of you on inclusion/openness and transparency. It's a pity we still need to discuss these in this fashion after more than 10 years. IF ICANN really wants to claim it is an open and multi-stakholder organization, compared with ITU etc, they should show and implement that on the ground in my view. izumi 2013/2/19 Carlton Samuels <carlton.samuels@gmail.com>
Dear Izumi: As you may recall, several members of the ALAC have recorded their troubled response when scheduled ICANN meetings are held in places without an effort to cover all ICANN constituencies.
The ALAC is itself on record to the Board promoting transparency and demanding wider engagement when these meetings take place.
Our colleague Evan Leibovitch has probably been most vocal and maybe will tell what he has done in previous situations.
Best, -Carlton

Dear AtLarge community,
As an not-so-active member of AtLarge, I like to share the following info/question.
About a week ago, I heard that ICANN CEO Fadi is coming to Tokyo shortly from a former member of NomCom and current member of gNSO Council. They did not have any information about the specifics and not contacted for any possible meeting in Tokyo with him.
On Thursday last week, I got a call from one of the registrars and applicants for new gTLDs, asking to join the lunch with him, as a private lunch. I accepted the invitation, but told them I like to have a different open meeting and will write to such request to ICANN.
On Friday, I sent an email to Fadi and some other officers of ICANN that it would be much better to add an open meeting with all stakeholders in the ICANN community in Japan, but so far no reply came in [yet hopefully].
I got email from Internet Association of Japan that they had not been contacted. The government in charge said they will have a meeting. No AtLarge, as far as I know, are contacted. ISP association is not contacted.
When the former CEO Rod came to Tokyo, similar thing happened. He only contacted selected few organizations and made no public meeting at all.
Are these convention same elsewhere? Is there not much attempt to "outreach" in recent ICANN world (as before)?
Am I too naiive and optimistic ?
