Fwd: [Euro-board] Action Item from ALAC Call / Board Selection Process
Dear European At Large Structures, The ALAC has examined the EURALO letter which we have sent a few days ago, asking for an extension of the election process. As a result, the ALAC has decided that ICANN Staff should convene an At Large Board Selection Design Team (ABSdt) meeting to discuss the extension of the deadline of the Board Director Vote. This meeting, after an appropriate Doodle Poll of its Team members, will take place on Monday at 13:00 UTC. Both Patrick Vande Walle and I are on the ABSdt. I would therefore like to be advised on: 1. the rationale behind asking for 10 days of voting by EURALO ALSes 2. whether we would wish an "all or nothing" 30th November date, or whether we wish an extension which could be negotiated, and if so, what is the extension that would allow us to conduct a suitable election process in EURALO? 3. any other points which should be made clear and which we should insist on during the ABSdt call? I have a pretty good idea of how to answer (1) - which is that our At Large Structures (ALSes) will be polled to determine what candidate Wolf Ludwig, EURALO Chair will vote for, and that we therefore need to give ALSes enough time to get informed about the candidates and to vote. Is this enough, or are there more arguments that we can use? As for (2) and (3), please email your suggestions ASAP. Thanks, Olivier -- Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond, PhD http://www.gih.com/ocl.html
Thanks Olivier I am in favour of ther extension. However my more critical question is whether the three listed candiodates are final or whether we can add one namne (Avria in this case)? I see also a problem with Sebastian. He was selected by the NomCom for a two year period as ALAC member. When he leaves ALAC and will become a votong ICANn director, his European ALAC seat remains empty for the rest of his period because EURALO has no right to send somebody else to replace him. This can be done only by the NomCom and the 2011 NomCom has no European slot to fill.

Wolfgang, minor correction, but important in the context of what you say: The ICANN by-laws state that there could be up to 5 members of the board from the same region. That means it's possible that the NomCom 2011 can elect an European. Well, hopefully also an East European :) *ARTICLE VI: BOARD OF DIRECTORS **Section 2. DIRECTORS AND THEIR SELECTION; ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN AND VICE-CHAIRMAN *2.[ ] At no time when it makes its selection shall the Nominating Committee select a Director to fill any vacancy or expired term whose selection would cause the total number of Directors (not including the President) from countries in any one Geographic Region (as defined in Section 5 of this Article <http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#VI-5>) to exceed five; and the Nominating Committee shall ensure when it makes its selections that the Board includes at least one Director who is from a country in each ICANN Geographic Region (“Diversity Calculation”). veni On 10/31/2010 16:30, "Kleinwächter, Wolfgang" wrote:

I don't see this as a problem. The 2010 NomCom has selected him and would still be in place until the end of Cartagena.

Thanks Wolfgang, Patrick and Olivier for your suggestions. Besides the questions raised by Olivier regarding EURALO's position at the next ABSdt call on Monday/tomorrow, I would like to know whether our or some of our members want us to launch a petition to get Avri Doria back on the BCEC voting slate?

Wolf, My understanding is that EURALO encouraged Avri to become a candidate. I know Avri had it in mind to be a candidate before we asked her, but I think we initiated contact in offering support. If I am correct and this is the case, then it would seem reasonable to ask if anyone objects to EURALO supporting a petition to have Avri added to the slate. Make sense? Also need to be clear that petitioning to have someone on a slate does not mean a promise to vote for them. Decisions on voting should be based on full consideration of the candidates, any discussions we may have with them etc. We are simply trying to give ourselves the best options in selecting the best candidate.

Dear all my tow cents: it seams the basic question is to add Avri to the slate, which I fully support, but not for the seek of gender balance (this should not be the measurement tool in Avri`s case). So coming back to Oliver's question in terms of time extension, rather to "negotiate all or nothing" or try to find a compromise, I think he could shorten that process, if it could be agreed to add Avri to the slot. The discussion within EURALO is clear and could be seen as the required community debate scheduled from 28 October - 12 November (of course with a valid quorum as outcome).

In addition, I would also suggest that Euralo should also consider Jordi Palet. He has been a long time proponent of inclusiveness in other rather closed organizations, namely the IETF and a prominent actor in IPv6 deployment. His track record speaks to his values. He knows ICANN, while not an insider. Patrick -- Best regards, Cordialement, Patrick Vande Walle -- Sent from my mobile phone. Apologies for the typos and the brevity of the reply.
Adams proposal enhances also the transparency which is needed in this cases where we have an ALAC NomCom as a subsidary body and not decision maker (which is different from ICANNs NomCom).

Dear European At Large Structures,
The ALAC has examined the EURALO letter which we have sent a few days ago, asking for an extension of the election process.
As a result, the ALAC has decided that ICANN Staff should convene an At Large Board Selection Design Team (ABSdt) meeting to discuss the extension of the deadline of the Board Director Vote.
This meeting, after an appropriate Doodle Poll of its Team members, will take place on Monday at 13:00 UTC.
Both Patrick Vande Walle and I are on the ABSdt.
I would therefore like to be advised on:
1. the rationale behind asking for 10 days of voting by EURALO ALSes 2. whether we would wish an "all or nothing" 30th November date, or whether we wish an extension which could be negotiated, and if so, what is the extension that would allow us to conduct a suitable election process in EURALO? 3. any other points which should be made clear and which we should insist on during the ABSdt call?
I have a pretty good idea of how to answer (1) - which is that our At Large Structures (ALSes) will be polled to determine what candidate Wolf Ludwig, EURALO Chair will vote for, and that we therefore need to give ALSes enough time to get informed about the candidates and to vote. Is this enough, or are there more arguments that we can use? As for (2) and (3), please email your suggestions ASAP.
Thanks,
Olivier

I agree. 3 men is a unnecessarily limited pool for a slot that's supposed to represent user perspectives etc. Bill
Dear all, To Olivier's point 1 below, I would add that we should also have time to allow the unsuccessful applicants to get support to run by petition. We all agree that we want elections whose outcome will not be challenged. We had already some remark on gender balance in the slate. We should expect remarks that the current slate is only composed of long time ICANN insiders, two of which are current ALAC members. Personally, I would rather wish that the process, including involvement of ALSes in the directed votes of the Chair and Euralo elected ALAC members, takes as much time as needed. That would add to the legitimacy of the process, even if that meant that the person would take his/her seat next year. OTOH, If we are hands tied by the bylaws regarding when the new board member has to be seated, so be it. But then, the At-Large community should make it clear that it did it under pressure.
