No easy task. 2) I share with you the link so you can read in question and they can see the spirit of this program https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=41900609 Main objectives: 1. Building local / regional awareness and recruitment of new community members; Two. More Effectively Engaging with current members and / or "reactivating" ICANN community members engaged with previously; and Three. ICANN's mission and Communicating Objectives to new audiences. After having clear and get to know the program, I ask you to Region: You believe that you can achieve these goals that class Travs participants? MUST have active participation in regino not necessary? What is the profile of these people? They believe that only speak one language is sufficient and necessary condition to achieve the objectives? What are the conditions that MUST be? My conclusion: There was not enough discussion to make a decision based on serious arguments and solid reasons to leave the best light conditions to ensure a flawless desempeo. From me to work with Javier Pallero to secure these objectives.

Re: [lac-discuss-en] Extending Suffrage

Ariel, I am resending this message to the six RALO discuss lists as per your request. Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Thomas, I hope your day has been going well. Could you please resend your message titled ³Extending Suffrage² to the six RALO discuss mailing lists? I accentually the message and I will allow the message to go through this time. Apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you, Ariel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Olivier, I appreciate Wolfgang's raising the question of the At-Large's position within ICANN's governance structure (see below), and your extending an invitation to comment. In a paper submitted to NETmundial <http://www.coactivate.org/projects/campaign-for.nyc/blog/2014/03/08/260/> we addressed the question of suffrage in ICANN's governance processes. We look at voter eligibility at ICANN today and draw a parallel to America in 1787 when the 3% of the population was eligible to vote: basically large farm owners (no blacks, women, or poor). Our paper proposed that we take a first step in extending suffrage at ICANN by reverting to the selection of 5 board members by the At-Large Structures, one member per region. Let me reiterate, this is "a step" with more suffrage extensions required. The paper <http://www.coactivate.org/projects/campaign-for.nyc/blog/2014/03/08/260/> also proposed a formalized role for cities in the ICANN governance process.

Project CROPP
by asoto＠ibero-americano.org April 5, 2014

April 5, 2014

[[--Translated text (es -> en)--]] Subject: Project CROPP From: asoto(a)ibero-americano.org Dear Dev, Yesterday, I gave my consent to Quickly the Amendments made into the project in order to Comply With the deadline. However, after studying the changes Carefully That Were made to the project I have the impression That the project would not be Appropriate to Fulfill the purpose of the trip Regarding Haiti. For the above, I propose to modification Which Involves no change in costs, but it Helps to Pursue the Sought goal. Indeed, I propose Philippe Boland That flies from Colombia (the country where I lives) to Philippe Because Haiti is a French native speaker Which would Facilitate the exposure of the topics. In turn, Javier would Pallero travel from Argentina to Dominican Republic. These are roundtrip flights and there will not be Travel between Port au Prince and Santo Domingo. If it is impracticable to change itineraries, I ask you to replace Jose Arce by Philippe Boland on the trip. In short, we are Reducing costs and increase increasing the level of understanding the presentations. I hope you can request Consider This. Best regards Alberto Soto _______________________________________________ [[--Original text (es) http://mm.icann.org/transbot_archive/ae95db496d.html --]]

Re: [lac-discuss-en] VOTE RESULTS: 2014 Director-At-Large Board (Seat # 15) Selection Process

[[--Translated text (es -> en)--]] Subject: Re: VOTE RESULTS: 2014 Director-At-Large Board (Seat # 15) Selection Process From: sana.pryhod(a)gmail.com Dear all, I would like to join Veronica's evaluation of all this discussion as extremely valuable! A lot of newcomers need more knowledge on the history of ICANN / At Large. I would like to propose to preparing for ATLAS in London series of Interviews with The most prominent persons Involved - I would be happy to prepared questions for them. And I highly appreciate Christopher's article - we can translate it into Russian? Regarding Board Members. Sebastien was the first from At Large, and I did great job. As for me, EACH member of the Board has to Have the same big heart and big ear to hear and to understand EVERY Internet user's voice, as Sebastien has. I do not know how we can fix it in our ROP, but I am sure, info we have to find the way to do it. Regarding second seat at the Board for At Large. I am absolutely sure, That we need it. Thousand of thanks to Wolfgang for NomCom - again with big ear and big heart))), deep knowledge and huge experience! As far as I understand, some Were At Large Initiatives ignored by the Board - And now it is Considered as mistakes. I do not want to say, That At EACH Large decision has to be approved by Board automatically. But the Board has to understand our way of thinking - from the point of view of ordinary Internet user. We really need more voices - it means we need to create more friendly interface for them: from technological, political, linguistic and other points of view.

[[--Translated text (es -> en)--]] Subject: Re: R: R: VOTE RESULTS: 2014 Director-At-Large Board (Seat # 15) Selection Process From: veronicacretu(a)gmail.com Dear colleagues, greetings! I find this exchange of ideas, views and reflections extremely valuable! I can only imagine what a wonderful face-to-face activity This Might be with at-large members brainstorming and 'designing' the future through the prism of the history and current Developments :)! Few reflections on some of the aspects, based on my experience of being on this years' NomCom (and part of 2013 NomCom): - When it comes to the competency level of NomCom members (As This aspect has-been touched upon by Adam and Alexander), I think it Might be worth for the NomCom to have a capacity / competency assessment tool That would allow for a 'scanning' of what competencies are there Within the committee itself, and what competencies are needed.Before any 'new' NomCom is appointed / selected, This evaluation has to be made, and appointments of the new members would be in Line with some of the missing elements / competencies, etc.. Each and every single member of NomCom Brings in Un certain knowledge, skills / expertise and experiences per different sectors (not only ICANN / IG related). The degree to Which NomCom Manages to create or build synergy Between These valuable 'attributes' of the members, Determines the quality of the selection process indeed. - The same kind of assessment / approach Should take place at the level of the Board - without a clear picture of the key areas and competencies needed, it is difficult to bring in the 'right fit' for the Given context, Given the realities and future one type of AIMS at building / creating for / Within ICANN's ecosystem. So, having a Board Capacity Assessment Tool and a NomCom Capacity Assessment Tool would indeed Ensure the continuity of the structures, and would continue on bringing in the 'fits right' Whenever Necessary. Institutionalizing the approach Could take 2-3 years, after some pilot phase results would be available. A great weekend ahead everyone!

Re: [lac-discuss-en] VOTE RESULTS: 2014 Director-At-Large Board (Seat # 15) Selection Process
by cdel＠firsthand.net April 5, 2014

April 5, 2014

[[--Translated text (es -> en)--]] Subject: Re: VOTE RESULTS: 2014 Director-At-Large Board (Seat # 15) Selection Process From: cdel(a)firsthand.net This Box As somebody outside but keeping half an eye out I am intrigued by some recent comments from past board, nomcom and others on the issues Peak Gust see them today. There is plenty of space where Internet users of all sorts are unable to get Their voice heard effectively. ICANN is one place where this needs to be Strengthened. But I urged Those Involved to look deeper than technocratic Such methods as Nomcom, or systematic HR Processes to explain why problems are coming up for air again. These techniques process take as read the culture, interests and remit of an organization as it is now and outstretch to Enhance it in some form. That is They Reinforce Existing structures and are not Effective or desirable levers to reform by themselves. ICANN has a structural challenge in its board That is bottom up Whilst its management is top down.This is possibly why Karl Proposes to remove the CEO / President from the board. Also It is why there is voltage Between ICANN ICANN as a manager and as a community of mainly That Organisations responsible manage Internet resources. If you want to change in board you need to drive change from the board Attract and board members who direct rather than manage. Is that what ICANN wants as it is today? I wonder. If intermediaries dominate the landscape at ICANN and many argue this is now the case then how does ICANN function in the public interest? At Large That is one attempt in direction. But in face of the NTIA challenge can it be Argued That ICANN is multi stakeholder in the sense That the above dealer it broad public interest? In particular, if one Focuses on the board in That specific context. That seems a far deeper challenge than one You should delegate to HR as an issue of "skillsets".

In the present NTIA transition discussion a lot of "orginal ideas" from 1998 are remembered. One orginal idea was to give the At Large Membership nine voting seats. Article V, Section 4 of the Orginal Bylaws (November 6, 1998) said in para. iv: "Nine (9) At Large Directors, selected pursuant to a process to be established by a majority vote of all the At Large Board members of the Initial Board". >> http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws/bylaws-06nov98-en.htm#V >> >> We know the history. Five voting directors were elected in 2000 for two years. In November 2001 the At Large Membership Committee, chaired by Carl Bildt, recommended the establishment of an At Large Supporting Organisation (ALSO) with the right to send six voting directors to the board. >> http://archive.icann.org/en/committees/at-large/final-report-05nov01.htm#_t… >> >> In 2002, as part of the general ICANN reform process the ideas of an At Large elections and the establishment of an ALSO with six regional councils were abolished and were substituted by an "At Large Advisory Committee" (ALAC) with five RALOs, a certification process for ALSs and the establishment of a NomCon which now sends eight directors to the board. The NomCom got five voting At Large Members. The chair of ALAC was invited to serve as a non-votong liaison in the Board (similar to the chair of the GAC). >> >> In the preparation for ATLAS I in Mexico in 2008 we were calling for two voting ALAC Board members.

Thanks Fatima. It is even more important to participate in the survey. The working link for the English language version of the online survey is here: http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/rds-risk-surve… The printable survey instrument can be accessed here: http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/rds-risk-surve… We will make sure to circulate the link to the Spanish language version as soon as it is available. It would be most helpful if we extract the working link, send it forward and ask our networks to participate in the survey. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= > http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-04apr14-en.htm > ------------------------------ > RDS Risk Survey and Webinar: How will a Proposed Next Generation > Registration Directory Services (RDS) to Replace Whois Impact You? > (Available Until 15 May 2014) > > 4 April 2014 > > The *Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services (EWG) > <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40175189 > >*invites > you to participate in its recently launched Registration Directory > Service (RDS) Risk Survey. > > If you provide or use gTLD domain name registration data (today known as > Whois), please consider responding to this survey to share your unique > perspective on potential risks and benefits associated with the EWG's > proposed RDS, should ICANN choose to implement such as system to replace > Whois. > > Today, anyone can query Whois to identify the organization or individual > responsible for an Internet domain name, known as a Registrant, along with > their postal address, email address, and telephone number.

(Available Until 15 May 2014) 4 April 2014 The *Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services (EWG) <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40175189>*invites you to participate in its recently launched Registration Directory Service (RDS) Risk Survey. If you provide or use gTLD domain name registration data (today known as Whois), please consider responding to this survey to share your unique perspective on potential risks and benefits associated with the EWG's proposed RDS, should ICANN choose to implement such as system to replace Whois. Today, anyone can query Whois to identify the organization or individual responsible for an Internet domain name, known as a Registrant, along with their postal address, email address, and telephone number. The EWG was asked to re-examine the purpose and provision of this information, envisioning a clean-slate approach to meet global Internet community needs with greater privacy, accuracy, and accountability. The EWG's proposed next generation RDS would collect, validate and disclose registration information for permissible purposes only, with some values remaining public and others being gated - that is, returned only to authorized users with legitimate purposes. At this point, the RDS is simply a proposal being refined by the EWG for ICANN Board and community consideration. If you are one of the many different individuals, businesses, and other organizations that consume Whois data today, or a domain name Registrant, Registrar, or Registry that provides Whois data today, please participate in this survey. This survey is a chance to tell the EWG about the risks and benefits that the recommended RDS might have for YOU. All risks and benefits identified through this survey will be published in aggregated, anonymized form and used by the EWG to refine its recommendations and as input to a full risk assessment. *RDS Risk Survey attributes:* - RDS Risk Survey Availability Date: 15 March 2014 - RDS Risk Survey address: http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/rds-risk-surve… - RDS Risk Survey Close Date: *15 May 2014, 23:59 UTC* To read more, you may download a printable PDF<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/rds-risk-surve…>[PDF, 1.93 MB] before returning to http://www.icann.org/en/groups/other/gtld-directory-services/rds-risk-surve… take the on-line survey.
