Let me join in congratulating Heidi. Her work has been appreciated for quite a long time now. The new position in the organization chart, while being a recognition of Heidi's excellent work, is also a challenge for the AtLarge: it implies that the community feedback will be even closer to the ears of the CEO. As I stated in the previous message, commenting about the fact that the new CEO is listening, we have to make sure that we use this window of opportunity to show the added value of ALAC to the policy development process. A former manager of mine used to say that you only have one chance to do a good first impression. This is the time to use the window that has been opened.

Sébastien, If I might have sounded like implying that ALAC was not doing well, this was not my intention, my point was just that we have a window of opportunity to have higher value for what we do. In this sense I agree about your question on whether we should think about processes and priorities. Fadi showed already that he believes in the multistakeholder model. Maybe not all in ALAC know that in Prague he attended a Board - Alumni (i.e. former Board) breakfast, in which the point was made that the multistakeholder model works if *all* stakeholder groups are given fair opportunity to be heard, so we need additional help to reach out groups that for geographical, political, economic, cultural, or whatever else reason are less present in person in ICANN meetings. I think that he got the message about ALAC (thanks also to the commitment of staff like Heidi), but he, being a business person, is now looking at achievements. Last but not least, thinking about your quote about ALAC presence worldwide, I wonder whether in the review of the priorities we should confirm that outreach is a priority. I see the opportunity to get also more attention (budget?!?) to this subject by the new ICANN management. Cheers, R. PS: I have been travelling in Europe this summer, and I have been stupid enough not to think of emailing the ALSes in the countries where I have been in order to check whether we could have met in person - it would have been very useful. I will not make this mistake in the future. -----Messaggio originale----- Da: at-large-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:at-large-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] Per conto di Sébastien Bachollet Inviato: domenica 16 settembre 2012 07:21 A: At-Large Worldwide Cc: 'Heidi Ullrich' Oggetto: Re: [At-Large] R: Heidi in the ICANN Executive team Roberto and all, The window is open and the leaders of At-Large already show a lot of added value. All the feedback given to me regarding At-Large are all very positive. During the presentation to the staff Fadi said: "Each time I am going to a country I will meet leaders from the At-Large community and from the local ALSes". It seems that other senior staff will do the same. I hope that At-Large will see that also as a mutual help to strengthen the relationship, the outcome of At-Large and ICANN but also the engagement. He also launch the initiative for a new strategic approach for Africa with a lot of members of At-Large. Similar initiative is launch for LAC region. He comments very positively all the interaction with Olivier as Chair of ALAC. Some decision for the new organization comes from comments by At-Large (compliance, communication, Outreach…). Beside the hard work of At-Large staff, all that definitely help the new position for Heidi. I am sure that At-Large (ALAC, ALSes, members of ALS, individual participants…) will show that they deserve such attention and position in the organization. May I suggest that At-Large start to think if the new staff organization have consequences on it's own processes and priorities?

There is a reciprocal effect to Heidi being on the executive team. Yes, she will have the direct access to the CEO and other executive leaders and will be able to represent the interests of the At-Large and ALAC more directly. That reciprocal is that the executive team will have greater ability to govern the activities of the At-Large and ALAC. This could be a good thing. But then again, we really do not know how this executive team will behave.

Hi Avri, It could be easily argued that the executive team within ICANN has always had the ability to secretly govern the workings of At-Large, most notably through the arbitrary manipulation of budget requests and allocations. Until now all At-Large related budget issues -- from lapel pins to outreach activities to a possible second Summit -- have been decided in the most opaque and arbitrary of manners. (I still have a reasonably fresh memory of when it seemed that we had to beg for appropriate travel funding for At-Large leadership to each meeting. And I was personally witness to senior staff private attempts to kill the original Summit while publicly claiming to support it). Any increase in awareness and communications can only be good; there certainly can't be a decrease in transparency from what we have had so far on budget issues. Is there anything specific you have in mind when referring to senior staff "governing the activities" of At-Large? - Evan

Thanks Sebastien for sharing the information, I would like to congratulate Heidi and wish her good luck for the new position. Hawa 2012/9/14 Carlton Samuels <carlton.samuels@gmail.com>

Congrats, Heidi. Good for you and the At-Large staff I say.

Now, I hope this also brings some additional hands to you. For with the throughput we've seen to date, the At-Large workload is heavy. And likely will become more so in the next little while

Best, - Carlton
