ICANN survey - being a global organisation
by Chris Disspain March 26, 2012

March 26, 2012

Greetings All, I have been working closely with the other members of the ICANN Board's global relations committee on improving ICANN as an international organisation. As part of our work we have posted a survey asking a series of relevant questions. It can be found at http://surveys.questionpro.com/a/TakeSurvey?id=2940309 and is available in the 6 UN languages. This is not a short survey but it is an important one and it is especially important that as many ccTLDs as possible respond since, in general terms, many of ICANN's interactions with us are the core of its international efforts. Please take the time to complete the survey. It's open until 22 April. Cheers, Chris

FW: ALAC on NYT "ICANN Ethics" Article

Sent on behalf of Ron Sherwood. From: Ron Sherwood <ron(a)vitechnicalservices.com<mailto:ron@vitechnicalservices.com>> Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:15:37 -0700 To: Gabriella Schittek <gabriella.schittek(a)icann.org<mailto:gabriella.schittek@icann.org>> Subject: ALAC on NYT "ICANN Ethics" Article Dear Gabi: I think the copy below (of the response by two ALAC members to the New York Times article about the ICANN Ethics Debate at the San Jose Meeting) should be of interest to ccNSO Councilors. It was published on the At-Large List. The message includes a link to the NYT article. Please forward this email to all councilors. Thanks, Ron ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ron Sherwood <ron(a)vitechnicalservices.com<mailto:ron@vitechnicalservices.com>> Date: Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 4:03 PM Subject: ALAC on NYT "ICANN Ethics" Article [ALAC] When will ALAC make its conflict of interest statement? Beau Brendler 3:14 PM (40 minutes ago) Hope everyone had good journeys back. I assume you all have seen this story in the New York Times? http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/19/technology/private-fight-at-internet-nami… ALAC is frequently concerned with how it is perceived by others, especially when it comes to representing the user community. For the New York Times to have written a story like this, it must have deemed the story to be relevant to the general public. Yet ALAC, despite having ample opportunity and guidance during the week, failed to make a statement, even when it was already written for them, twice, by me. It distracted itself by claiming the story was no big news, or out of scope, or too confrontational for its multicultural nature, etc. etc. And it was distracted by the failure of LACRALO to conduct a meaningful general assembly. Rather than focus on policy issues, such as this one, it focused on elections of its own officers. Fortunately, I do believe Jean-Jacques Subrenat raised the conflict of interest issue in the public forum, but, as he eloquently pointed out to the list, he was something of a lone voice in doing so. Since the ALAC does not consider such issues as those that appear in the New York Times story to be of importanance, then I am forced to conclude that ALAC is not capable in its current construction to carry out its mission to speak for the Internet user. I have been asked by one of the publications I write for to put together a story about what's going on here, and I believe I have no other choice, in fact, am obligated as a journalist to cite ALAC's failure to raise this issue sooner (or at all). Beau Brendler Avri Doria 3:31 PM (24 minutes ago) Hi, I have a question: as the chair of NARALO, has NARALO made such a statement yet? Also I think it is a long stretch from the evidence that the ALAC did not take an issue that you, and the NYT, think is of primary important to the conclusion that ALAC is incapable of carrying out its mission. As you are one of the leaders of ALAC, I wonder whether taking the journalists approach is the right approach. avri
