by Dragoslava Greve Sept. 24, 2009

Sept. 24, 2009

Dear EURALO community, EURALO members are asked to provide feedback and thinking on the collaboratively developed so far draft procedure of appointing a voting ICANN Board Director. Current information and collected thoughts are here: https://st.icann.org/working-groups/index.cgi?at_large_director_appointment _ process. The staff has organized a doodle for a community call on the issue, opting between 6th, 7th or 8th of October. Please enter your availability if you hadn't done this already at: http://www.doodle.com/krhkixt9srx9czp3 Since this will be a very important brainstorm and feedback session, I would suggest if considered useful, to have an EURALO discussion on the mailing list prior to the call, helping us to clearly voice our proposals and concerns and present our common position.

Please see <https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi/index.cgi?community_call_with_board_lia…> for candidate's bios and statements of interest. I won't be able to make the call with candidates, it starts at 3AM Monday morning Tokyo time and will run for 90 minutes with a possible 30 minute extension. I've a busy day on Monday. Thanks, Adam

[Fwd: Clarifications Regarding Staff Summary-Analysis of Stakeholder Group Charter Public Forum]
by Nick Ashton-Hart Sept. 17, 2009

Sept. 17, 2009

Dear All: As a couple of queries have come in from Bill and Adam with respect to the staff summary of the NCSG public comment period, Rob has sent along the below. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Clarifications Regarding Staff Summary-Analysis of Stakeholder Group Charter Public Forum Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2009 08:50:47 -0700 From: Robert Hoggarth <robert.hoggarth(a)icann.org> To: Nick Ashton-Hart <Nick.Ashton-Hart(a)icann.org> Dear Nick: I understand that there have been some recent discussion within the At-Large community regarding the Staff Summary/Analysis (S/A) of the submissions in the GNSO Stakeholder Group Charter Forum that closed on 24 July.- http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#stakeholder - and particularly the reference the S/A document makes to the comments submitted by ALAC Chair Cheryl Langdon-Orr. As the staff person responsible for that document, I wanted to make sure that I cleared up any potential confusion in the attribution assigned to Cheryl's submission in the S/A. At the beginning of every S/A document we clearly include the caution to the reader that: "This document is intended to broadly and comprehensively summarize the comments of the various contributors to this forum but not to address every specific argument or position stated by any or all contributors. The Staff recommends that readers interested in specific aspects of any of the summarized comments or the full statements of others refer directly to the originally posted contributions." Further, with respect to the specific comments submitted by Cheryl, I reproduced verbatim the disclaimer that she provided at the top of her submission. Footnote one at the beginning of the S/A document reads: "[1] The Submission by Cheryl Langdon-Orr specifically noted the following disclaimer, 'This comment is intended to ensure that the Board Structural Improvements Committee (SIC) is aware of and takes into account in this current public comment period the previous activities, views and opinions, including Advice to the Board, and ratified Statements of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) and the At-Large Community with specific reference to the development of the new structure of the GNSO, its Council and the Stakeholder Group model. This is not a formal or ratified statement or comment per se but rather a synopsis of those previously provided in various fora to date.' For identification purposes this document uses the 'ALAC' initials to refer to the submission." If for any reason, Cheryl would like to clarify her comments or if she thinks the initials I used to identify her comments were inappropriate, please have her send me an email at robert.hoggarth(a)icann.org and I will work with the web-admin and tech-support teams to re-open the Forum record to insert any clarifications she might want to make to her submission.
