Thanks for the clarification Tijani, But by the nature and function of elected ALAC members' office (to represent the wishes of the RALO), those ROP are inconsistent and will only lead to confusion. Regards Cintra On Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 4:12 PM, Tijani BEN JEMAA <tijani.benjemaa@planet.tn>wrote:

Dear Cintra,

With the new RoP, only the RALO Chair may have a directed vote by his/her RALO’s members, but not the ALAC members of the region. Last time, it was possible for all voters to have their votes directed by their respective RALO members.

Dear Tijani, All,

There is an interesting gap here, one that made some mischief in our LACRALO region during the last Seat 15 Board Member elections. This may be the cause of confusion on Jose and other RALO members.

While the election is for ALAC to vote on the Board Member, it is the RALOs that must direct their elected ALAC representatives and leaders who they would wish to be elected. As with all other ALAC votes it is anticipated that there will be proper engagement with the RALO membership by each elected ALAC or leadership member to ensure that their vote coincides with the wishes and represents all the interests of the RALO.

Regards

Dear José,

When the EoI (previously called SoI) was conceived for the first round by the ABSdt (I was one of the members), we designed the document for the Board director selected by ALAC (Seat 15) not for the general case. In fact we took the requirements used for the general case (ICANN Bylaws), we added the requirements used by NomCom to select a board director, and we then added the At-Large requirements. This document is not for the general case; it’s for the selection of the Board director selected by ALAC only.

Thanks Tijiani for the clarification.

But I still think that we should have 3 different EoI, because if knowlege of at-large community is a general requirement to be a Board Member I can not imagine that all the current menmber of the borad have that backgraund, and for my point of view they do not have to have it. It is crazy to think that, so the actual documment for the 3 categories should be review.

Maybe Olivier can add something that we are missing.

My 2 cents

Hi José,

Sorry for the late reply. In fact, the EoI is the duty of the BCEC, and this reply is a personal opinion.

You know, the requirements that you mentioned was in 3 categories:

· The requirements for the board members in the ICANN bylaws

· The requirements for a board member used by the NomCom

· And additional At-Large requirements

I think that what appeared as a contradiction for you is the result of the combination of the 3 categories.

It’s true that a board member is supposed to serve for the benefit of ICANN as a whole, and not as a representative of a certain stakeholder, but you don’t imagine ALAC appointing someone who doesn’t know anything of the end users’ concerns and interests. I think that it’s normal that the candidate should be well aware of the At-Large affairs. While selected, this Board member will act as an individual for the benefit of ICANN, but with his/her background and his knowledge of the At-Large community.

My 2 cents

Dear Tijiani and Roberto,

Any comment about my email. I know that we are runing out of time now, but I really see contradictions in the text which may confuse candidates and applicants.

Kind Regards

Dear all,

I read the document and have some questions:

1) Regarding the first paragraph: “…member must be able to reflect the

users' point of view and interests in the debate and decision making undertaken within the ICANN framework”.

The last two times LACRALO talked about this issue, and the last was in Buenos Aires meeting, with Fatima´s question to Sébastien Bachollet, the answer was the same: Once the candidate is elect, is a Board member without identifying a group, and does not have to explain to the community that vote for him/her, but the entire community at large.

Even more the text included mentioned the requirement of background in Internet users' interests. Should this be a specific requirement? Or Should be only global requirements? And it seems there is a contradiction with the

part: What does an ICANN Board Director do? “ Serve as individuals who have

the duty to act in what they reasonably believe are the best interests of ICANN and not as representatives of the entity that selected them, their employers or any other organizations or constituencies;”

If this is my confusion, requested the appropriate apologies.

2) I know it is controversial subject, but the third paragraph defined what is “At-large”, and I want to know if there is consensus about this.

I´ll appreciate a clarification

Kind regards

José Arce
