Re: [At-Large] ALAC Review Workshop at Cairo?

June 25, 2008

      Izumi, Darlene and all,

  Sorry Izumi that you were so shabbily treated.  Same for Darlene,
all be in her case such was mostly of her own making.  Never should
anyone feel intimidated.  Selective Censorship seemed to be prevelent
at the below mentioned meeting.  Such a practice for whatever reason
is not excusable if transparency and openness is a stated principal.

Dear Darlene and all,
trying to be engaged in productive and constructive way from
different regions, cultures and preofessional backgrounds is
always a challenge and one has to, sometimes, stand up and
do the dirty work.
And I am also very greatful for the support you gave, Darlene.

Hi Izumi,
I just wanted to thank you for the statement that you made about the set up
of that meeting room.  Even as a North American, I was completely
intimmidated - so I can ESPECIALLY appreciate how it must be for other
cultures.
Thank you VERY much for bringing that up.

Subject: [At-Large] ALAC Review Workshop at Cairo?
I went to the small room meeting of Board Governance Committee Working
Group on ALAC review this morning and offered some suggestions including
the way they moderate the session so that many non-English native speakers
in the audience could also participate easily. That was well accepted and I
was
asked to offer my intervention IF and when something wrong culturally
happens.
That happened, unfortunately, as the moderator kept asking questions only
to the members of the podium, and arbitrarily started to nominate people to
come and get on the podium. I waited for quite a while for him to start
accepting open comments, but that did not happen. So I flagged, asked
the moderator for me to say something, but then rejected. In the end I was
given, and offered the suggestion, but all in all it was not accepted.
In the large room and in that fashion, it is not inclusive nor constructive
to
let that to happen.
But it gave me some other ideas - since it is the VERY review on ALAC,
why not ALAC organize a workshop on our own?
It could be a joint session with BGC WG on ALAC, in the way most
constructive to all, including ALSs and RALO people, as well as with
other ICANN constituencies, at our coming Cairo meeting.
Being put on the table subject to review is one thing, but cooperating
with that process will add more value to the review and, in turn, to
ALAC I believe.
