Feedback from EURALO to the At-Large Director Appointment Process
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. Regards, Dessi
Dear All,
The ALAC Executive Committee wants to get community feedback from throughout the At-Large community on the current thinking which various community members have come up with on how to appoint a voting ICANN Board Director.

We have created a Doodle page for you to indicate the preferred time and date you would like. If you need to participate in a language other than english, please put the language you need next to your name. http://www.doodle.com/krhkixt9srx9czp3
This Doodle poll closes Tuesday 29 September at 1200 UTC.
BACKGROUND:
As you know, In its meeting of 27th August 2009, the ICANN Board of Directors unanimously resolved as follows:
'IT IS RESOLVED THAT the recommendation of the BRWG (Board Review Working Group) to add one voting director appointed from the At-Large Community to the ICANN Board of Directors, and removing the present ALAC Liaison to the Board, is approved in principle for implementation. Staff is directed to identify all steps required to achieve the implementation of this principle, after issuing of the BRWG Final Report.'
The proposal that one or more voting Director seats on the ICANN Board should be selected by the At-Large community is a recommendation of the recently-completed At-Large Independent Review process. The other recommendations in the Final Report of the Board's At-Large Review Working Group were approved by the Board during their meeting at the Sydney ICANN meeting in June.
As referenced in the final part of the resolution, the next step in the implementation of the resolution will be the presentation at the Seoul meeting of the full report of the BRWG (Board Review Working Group), as this element of change of the Board is a part of the broader Board review process.
In the meantime, the At-Large community's ALAC has resolved upon drawing up a process to submit to the Structural Improvements Committee of the Board at the Seoul ICANN Meeting. This section is for development of ideas and a draft process to that end.
Thank you,
Regards,
