ALAC/At-Large Performance Management
The ALAC has now adopted the Position Description (PD) for ALAC members and Liaisons (http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-PD). Despite satisfaction that it has been approved, I must admit some disappointment at the low voter turnout. I now submit the following discussion paper on how to ensure that the PD is effective. The document is based on the principles I presented in Sydney and modified based on the comments received prior to and at that meeting. It has also drawn very significantly from the policy proposed by Carlos Aguirre. This document will be presented and discussed on Tuesday in Seoul, with the intent of deciding on the principles and to be followed soon thereafter with a formal policy for discussion and approval. Any comments via e-mail or in person received sufficiently prior to the meeting will be incorporated in the presentation. A machine-translated version in French and Spanish will be sent soon. Alan
Hi Alan, The ALAC has now adopted the Position Description (PD) for ALAC members and
Liaisons (http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-PD). Despite satisfaction that it has been approved, I must admit some disappointment at the low voter turnout.
I now submit the following discussion paper on how to ensure that the PD is effective.
Thank you for doing this. In my opinion it is even more important that the non-ALAC components of At-Large -- RALOs, ALSs and individual members (as applicable) -- engage in this. When ALAC does not show the leaderships its members were elected and appointed to deliver, it holds us all back. I applaud this initiative as an important step towards the increased accountability of ALAC's elected members. Now ... if only there was a way to hold the NomComm accountable for *its* non-performing selections... - Evan PS: Unless you're character-constrained (ie, by using Twitter) I advise against TinyURL and other URL-shortening services as they pose significant security risks. By personal practise I won't open them and it's a big reason my Twitter usage has essentially ended. Please post the full URL.

Take a look at the draft nomcom review <http://www.icann.org/en/reviews/nomcom/nomcom-review-finalization-wg-draft- report-23sep09-en.pdf> there's a recommendation about removal of non performing members I think it needs clarification, but that's what the Seoul meeting's for. Adam

And... I was wrong. The section in the nomcom review document about removal, talks about removing nomcom members, not the people nomcom appoints. So we should again push for some form of recall mechanism of nomcom appointees. Document says other than for a couple of recommendations they want comment on, SIC considers "this document as the equivalent of a last call draft, and anticipate changes only in case of significant new input from the community."
