[[--Translated text (es -> en)--]] Subject: Operational plan and Budget for 2009 From: andrespiazzagpj@hotmail.com Dear Amigos: I hope that they are well. I write to them from the School of Gobernanza de Internet of the South, in Buenos Aires, where many members of the list are present. This subject which I copy underneath in the mail has capital importance. EURALO has made a declaration and it later sent it to Wendy Seltzer (ALAC Liason in ICANN Board) in Mexico and to the publiclist of ALAC. Particularly I am absolutely agreement with the same and serious content of the desirable one to count on the participation of the Assembly of LACRALO, or to adhere to the declaration (and to translateit) or to formulate an own one. I wait for the opinion of each one of you. Warm Greetings Andrés Piazza President of LACRALO Forwarded message From: Wolf Ludwig <wolf.ludwig@comunica-ch.net> Date: Fri, Sea 27, 2009 AT 5:59 A.M. Subject: [ ALAC ] EURALO statement on the Operational Plan andBudget To: Op-budget-fy2010@icann.org Cc: Euro Board <euro-board@atlarge-lists.icann.org>, AT-Large Staff <staff@atlarge.icann.org>, ALAC Working List <alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org> Dear Sir AT our last General Assembly (GA) AT the beginning of March 09in Mexico-City we had to briefing on the Draft Operational Plan and Budget and to discussion among our to member ALSes. On behalf of EURALO, I would like to submit the following Statement which was handed to over to the ALAC Board liaison to earlier already but unfortunately not directed to you. Best regards, Wolf Ludwig Chair of EURALO ==== The Regional European AT-Large Organization is astonished by the reading of the "Proposed for Framework FY10 Operating Plan and Budget". We notices with perplexity that to neither nor the AT-Large constituency the ALAC is to ever mentioned eleven in the entire body of the document; they even in the nine pages of Appendix To, which lists ICANN's operating plan itemsup to the details of "Coordinate and manage Board website hosting" and "Facilitate payment of Director expenses ", the ALAC and the AT-Large to appear only four times, of which three plows actions aimed AT "improving to their performance" (to whatever that means) among that of to other bodies. For example, of the 16 action items that constitute section 7 "Constituency support", ten regard support for registries and registrars; two regard the GNSO; one regards the GAC; the remaining three plows generic points that include all SOs and ACs. Apparently, not specific effort is planned by ICANN to support the AT Large or to user constituencies. Global Moreover, section 9 "engagement and increased international participation "you describe huge work programme that only focuses on involving dwells registries, dwells registrars and dwells governments throughout the world; several detailed action items plows designed to involve new governments in the GAC. Unbelievable It is that not mention ismade of the need to increase the participation of the public, to either through the AT Large or through public participation channels in general. From this plan, it looks like ICANN's operating plan is to promote to businessto fair or trade for poster registries and registrars, while pleading with governments not to disrupt the plan, and while ignoring anyoneelse. Global We think that engagement and international participation plows a vital part of ICANN's credibility and legitimacy, but definitely not in the sense that ICANN implies with this document. Thus we is urgent the ICANN Board to check out the corporation's priorities and ensure that appropriate attention, means and budget plows allocated to promoting and supporting participation by the global public. ==== it communicates-ch phone +41 79 204 83 87 Skype: Wolf-Ludwig www.comunica-ch.net Digitale Allemd http://blog.allmend.ch - EURALO https://st.icann.org/euralo/index.cgi?euralo_icann_at_large_europe _______________________________________________ [[--Original text (es) http://mm2.icann.org/transbot_archive/c7b8623d23.html --]]
