Many faces and many languages is better than many languages and one face. If we have five langauges and five people - 40 second each - we have 2 minutes. The rest of three minutes can be used by one person who say three sentence with subsance, but this three sentence should be agreed by the ALS and should include also a reference to the EURALO as the joint European platform of ALS and partner of the MoU. w ________________________________ Von: Patrick Vande Walle [mailto:patrick@vande-walle.eu] Gesendet: Mi 28.03.2007 16:32 An: nick.ashton-hart(a)icann.org; Discussion for At-Large Europe Cc: Wolfgang Kleinwächter; aoliva(a)diplomaticnet.com; wolfgang(a)imv.au.dk; kiravuo(a)tml.hut.fi; Patrick(a)isoc.lu Betreff: Re: [EURO-Discuss] European Speaker for Ceremony Right.

I do not see any conflict. Both sides agree to do several things, and they agree to some benefits. It is an agreement. The fact that it is not intended as a contract for enforcement in courts does not change that both sides are making an agreement with one another.

It is really unfortunate that you were not here; many of the questions and concerns that you have could have been a part of the discussions and dealt with alongside your colleagues. I hope that you will decide to have enough faith and trust in the other ALSes here to accept that they would not have concluded these arrangements unless they were satisfied that the outcome resulting was worthwhile. > My suggestion to everyone is that we agree the process you wish > > to follow in respect of this element once we have all returned > > home and had some time to get through the elections process and > > address the question of incorporation - it would seem to me that > > the question you raise here, and the question of incorporation, > > are questions which naturally go together. > > > Does that seem sensible to you? > > The more I see of this process, the more I think that all that > should be signed tomorrow is a set of very short letters of intent > in which ICANN and the ALSes state that they: > > (a) intend that a European RALO be formed according to the > principles laid out in the draft materials coordinated > > (b) intend that a formal MoU be signed once EURALO is formed and the > question around individual user participation resolved > > You can still declare victory and hold a ceremony around that. > > Cheers, > -- > Thomas Roessler <roessler(a)does-not-exist.org> > -- -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom UK Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011 USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 Win IM: ashtonhart(a)hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart(a)mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart

March 28, 2007

Thomas, my apologies again for the delay due to the mad pace of events - as a longtime participant of ICANN meetings I'm sure you know what it is like! On 26/03/07, Thomas Roessler <roessler(a)does-not-exist.org> wrote: > > Watching from the distance, I'll admit that I'm a bit confused by > what's going on in Lisbon. > > Some questions... > > - How does the timing of the signing ceremony mix with the public > comment opportunity that ICANN is supposed to give; see > <http://alac.icann.org/framework.htm#ProposedguidelinesforaRALO>, > point 2? There will be a 21-day posting for this MoU. The board will ratify it at this meeting pending the completion of the 21-day comment period, and at the end of that the board will give it final approval. You will find a paragraph near the end of the MoU text which reflects this. - Where are the criteria for the certification of ALSes, per > <http://icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#XI-2.4i>? > > "The criteria and standards for the certification of At-Large > Structures within each Geographic Region shall be established by > the Board based on recommendations from the ALAC and shall be > stated in the Memorandum of Understanding between ICANN and the > RALO for that Geographic Region." These are not incorporated directly in any of the MoUs as they can be changed. The requirements are indirectly referenced by the MoUs though where an acknowledgment of the role that ICANN plays in Clause 5.7 - What is the expectation about incorporating The Organization, what > is the expectation about The Organization's internal processes? > What is the process for agreement on its bylaws? What say will > ICANN have in that? This is of course three questions: 1) The discussion about incorporation is to be held after the voting has been concluded in order to prevent the two issues together actually getting bogged down since they are unrelated, and both take some time - and everyone at the meetings was aware of the fact that everyone is a volunteer and we need to help ensure participation in both to the fullest extent possible. 2) The bylaws agreed here do address these to a very considerable extent and in quite a lot of detail. You also have an additional source of procedure in the draft Rules of Procedure that have been prepared and are available on the regional Wiki which each region is free to use, amend, adopt, or ignore as it wishes. These are for the region to determine. Without actually having The Organization in existence, signing the > MoU looks like a recipe for a considerable mess later on, and it > might take degrees of freedom away that might be useful to have > when negotiating The Organization. I cannot see how that would have an effect to be honest with you. The Bylaws as agreed here are relevant to an unincorporated entity, just as they are to an entity that is incorporated. The members will live by the same set of rules irrespective of the legal status of the organisation (this is the short version of the discussion here). - What is the plan to deal with newly accredited ALSes in the > future; I understand that the LA RALO is actually struggling with > that? <https://st.icann.org/lacralo/index.cgi> Not really struggling. They wish to proceduralise the process of new ALSes consenting to be bound by the terms of the MoU as if they were original signers. I will be helping to supply a form of words for them to do this. - Why are the individual ALSes supposed to sign the MoU, not The > Organization when it's constituted and ready to enter into an > agreement with ICANN? > > This seems inconsistent with the ICANN bylaws: Believe me when I tell you that the ICANN legal staff would hardly allow anything to happen which is inconsistent with the Bylaws. Secondarily, as previously stated, there is no prohibition against the assignment of the signing organisations' rights and responsibilities to the EURALO if incorporated at a later time. "g. There shall be one RALO for each Geographic Region established > according to Section 5 of Article VI. Each RALO shall serve as the > main forum and coordination point for public input to ICANN in its > Geographic Region and shall be a non-profit organization certified > by ICANN according to criteria and standards established by the > Board based on recommendations of the At-Large Advisory Committee. > An organization shall become the recognized RALO for its > Geographic Region upon entering a Memorandum of Understanding with > ICANN addressing the respective roles and responsibilities of > ICANN and the RALO regarding the process for selecting ALAC > members and requirements of openness, participatory opportunities, > transparency, accountability, and diversity in the RALO's > structure and procedures, as well as criteria and standards for > the RALO's constituent At-Large Structures." > > <http://icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#XI-2.4g> > > Besides the formal level, this creates a situation in which ICANN > can play divide and conquer on any proposed changes that might > ever come up. Good for ICANN staff, bad for the RALO. I cannot personally see how this is true. If those who were present here felt this were the case then they would clearly not have concluded their work on this document. I don't think I'll be able to make a recommendation to FITUG to sign > without some very good answers to these questions. Hopefully these will provide it. Note that if FITUG is unable to agree to be a signing organisation, the RALO still includes all ALSes automatically; the only question is if and to what extent non-adherence will affect voting or other rights, which will be entirely a matter for the RALO to decide.

There is literally a total of five minutes to do this and the staging is already quite tight - we simply cannot run over. Having three different people come forward, talk, and then call the next forward will take lots of time which could be spent by one person saying more...

I will take this up with the staff here but I probably will not get back to you, given the pace of events, for a few days. My thought, without prejudice to what the legal people might say, is that ICANN doesn't really have a preference and the bylaws do not provide for ICANN to have such a preference. ICANN prefers that each region organises itself as it thinks best. The side letter you are suggesting would require the agreement of all the other signers, which I would think could be arranged, but would of necessity take some time. The other procedures that I outlined would have the same effect as what you are suggesting, which doesn't mean that any one of them is better or worse than your own, simply that I think they are different doors leading into the same room. My suggestion to everyone is that we agree the process you wish to follow in respect of this element once we have all returned home and had some time to get through the elections process and address the question of incorporation - it would seem to me that the question you raise here, and the question of incorporation, are questions which naturally go together. Does that seem sensible to you?

The regional dominance was brought to our attnetion at the election, but no one really had any problem with two excellent volunteers from LAC region.
