Wrong Context for Deciding How to Address EBW's Questions
by Carlton Samuels March 6, 2014

March 6, 2014

Dear Tijani: I have read your response to JJS's query and would wish to provide a different context for applying whether the questions from EBW should command response. I seriously doubt if the case that "Eric is not an at-large member' is good and sufficient to ignore his questions. In fact that criteria is misplaced and fundamentally at odds with the conceptual underpinnings of the At-Large's in the ICANN community and the ALAC's role in ICANN operations and governance. The At-Large is recognized as the home of the ordinary internet user in the ICANN ecosystem. While we have embraced a certain organisational framework as a management tool, active participation of any internet user in ICANN policy development is the bottomline objective So long as Eric Brunner Williams is an internet enduser and while he remains within the framework of acceptable conduct established by the At-Large thru ALAC, there can be no other membership criteria for participation. You may use other [valid] criteria to reject broadcasting his questions. And candidates have an absolute right to ignore him and not answer, again for various and sundry reasons. But a status of membership or membership criteria may not be employed as disqualifiers. And I say this as one who has been unfairly maligned by the said Eric Brunner Williams.

Good decision. The only thing is whether the questions are on topic. Questions that are off topic will not be considered. Kind regards, Olivier

Eric used to be part of NARALO as an individual member, He resigned from that and now is a member of an ALS. He is not entitled to vote as an ALS leader, but he is still part of the global At-Large community as a member of an ALS. This is the situation as I understand.

IMPORTANT: Problem with NARALO Vote set-up
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond March 5, 2014

March 5, 2014

Dear NARALO At-Large Structures, The vote to select replacement candidates for the replacement (proxy) electorate for Alan Greenberg and Evan Leibovitch was not set-up properly and therefore a new vote will need to be undertaken. The published results did not reflect the votes and unfortunately the Bigpulse system cannot re-calculate results when the parameters are changed. In order for the vote to be undertaken correctly, Staff will re-start a new vote. This will start immediately and will end in 2 days, on Friday 7 March 2014. You should receive the new ballot in your mailbox shortly. This does not delay the whole selection process. I remind you that the call with candidates will take place tomorrow and therefore invite all candidates for proxy (and all ALS representatives) to attend the call. https://community.icann.org/x/qBbRAg With our apologies. Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond ALAC Chair
