Fwd: Re: Action Items: 2017-02-28 EURALO Monthly Teleconference"
by Jean-Jacques Subrenat Nov. 19, 2017

Nov. 19, 2017

Dear EURALO Colleagues, below, please find an exchange of messages between Olivier Crépin-Leblond, Chair of EURALO, and myself. I appreciate Olivier’s quick reaction, the corrections he brought to my message (number of seats on EURALO Board), and his helpful comments. Best regards, Jean-Jacques. Le 2 mars 2017 à 18:23:09, Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond (ocl(a)gih.com) a écrit: Dear Jean-Jacques, thank you for your follow-up. First, a quick correction to Silvia's email address, as you appear to have it as no-reply(a)icann.org which is when one updates WIKI pages. I have amended Silvia's address accordingly. Please find my comments interspersed in your text. On 02/03/2017 17:49, Jean-Jacques Subrenat wrote: Dear Silvia & All, here is my contribution on the action item under reference. Currently, and unless I’m mistaken, the EURALO Board has 11 members. In the past twelve months, about a third of these members have intervened in EURALO monthly meetings (audio, chat or emails). The EURALO Board actually has only 5 members: Olawale (‘Wale) Shakiru BAKARE - United Kingdom Yrjö Länsipuro - Finland Eric Schweighofer - Austria Annette Mühlberg - Germany Matthieu Camus - France All other "members" - ie. ALAC representatives, Secretary & EURALO Chair are ex-officio. Originally I asked each member of the EURALO Board to share with others what they goals were during their tenancy. These are reflected on https://community.icann.org/x/0QB1Aw . I gather that these should be updated since Mikhail Medrish and Jordi Iparraguire have been replaced. I suggest we consider the following: What are the essential functions the EURALO Board must undertake or uphold? Each item is followed by a recommendation. 1) Ensure conformity of EURALO procedure and actions with existing legal or structural obligations (ICANN, ALAC and EURALO By-laws, Rules of procedure, Accepted standards in meetings, etc.). This applies, but is not limited to: membership, quorum, elections, rough consensus. Recommendation 1: a Board member with experience in these areas, and perhaps with a legal background, should be appointed as the « Legal reference point ». Excellent idea. 2) Consolidate relations with ALAC and other parts of ICANN. As in most ACs and SOs, the Chair of EURALO does this, and does it well (good visibility, good inter-personal skills, deep knowledge of the issues). Recommendation 2: no change. I would like to see our ALAC members take an extra care in fostering the link between ALAC and EURALO. They are our ambassadors on the ALAC. I would also like to see them take a leadership role on the ALAC, like Chairing a working group. As for the EURALO Board members, ideally they could chair a EURALO working group. 3) Enhance cooperation between EURALO and its ALSs. Over the years, this function has been carried out mainly by the Chair and/or Secretary. But with the gradual growth in the number of ALSs, this now requires a dedicated approach. Among other areas where cooperation would be appreciated: help in launching ALS surveys, help in participating in ICANN events, travel and accommodation support, etc. Recommendation 3: designate a Board member who, with the help of Support Staff, would be the prime contact point for all EURALO ALSs. Would this be an "inreach" officer? I would really support this too. 4) Consolidate EURALO contributions to ALAC and ICANN policy development. One of the current tasks is the appraisal of the At-Large Review: because of its complexity, but even more because of the implications of some of the recommendations in that Review, it is necessary to make sure that contributions are made on time, and that they are relevant. Recommendation 4: designate a Board member who is familiar with Policy development in the ICANN ecosystem, and who has a track record of making trains depart and arrive on time, at the right station. Excellent. I hope this is useful. This is *very* useful. Dear Silvia, if Olivier agrees, may I suggest that you send this out to the EURALO list? Thank you. Please do so. Jean-Jacques, please email the EURALO list yourself, so we can follow-up directly. Kindest regards Olivier

Proposed Response to At-Large Review from RALOs
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond March 26, 2017

March 26, 2017

Dear EURALO members, after a long process which asked you to comment on the At-Large Review, including contributions from at least 30 people across all RALOs to the Google Doc, both on the Google Doc itself, but also by sending RALO Chairs comments by email, in English, Spanish and French, it appears that we have a pretty complete RALO response to the At-Large Review. The Google DOC is now turned to '"view only". Please email me if there is anything that stands out as being out of line. Altogether, it's a pretty impressive document considering we received input from dozens of people --- and not just the usual suspects. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DZLG-xM-WbyhI9LqAkS3pGZwvDjBI10h0xxYp5C… In my opinion, the process by which the input was received and the spontaneous response from ALSes is such that it is a testimony that the mixed RALO/ALS and RALO/individual user model is possible and actually works. A significant response is possible when a topic is close to the heart of our members. I have seen support for the ITEMS report elsewhere in ICANN. What has struck me as well is the outright emotional hostility shown by some of the commentators that have submitted comments to the public forum. What I have found sad is that the criticism that was wielded at At-Large was not constructive at all. Quite the contrary, it followed in the same hostile language and manner of the Review that I have neither found constructive nor helpful at all. I hope you'll recognise that the RALO response tries to be constructive. It is not as polished as the forthcoming ALAC response as by design, we kept verbatim extracts of the input received - so contributors can recognise their imprint on the document. The deadline for the comment to be submitted is tomorrow, 24 April 2017 at 23:59 UTC. I cannot urge you enough to submit your own comments directly with the commenting process. Full details are on: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/atlarge-review-draft-report-2017-02-0… RALO Chairs plan to get staff to submit the response (or to submit the response themselves) by the deadline tomorrow, with a note that the document is undergoing RALO ratification. In EURALO, I'd like to hear the choice how YOU want this document ratified by EURALO? 1. a consensus call? So anyone objecting to any of the responses can make themselves known, including the response they object to? 2. An anonymous vote on each of the responses - so any ALS can vote in support or against each of the responses 3. An anonymous vote on the Statement itself - so any ALS can vote in support or against the whole Statement without detailing the responses 4. Any other suggestion? Please respond as soon as possible, as if we are to conduct a vote, I'd like to keep the vote open for at least 5 working days. Kindest regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond EURALO Chair
