interesting debate on the African list
by Danny Younger Sept. 29, 2008

Sept. 29, 2008

Mr. J. Philemon Kissangou, Chair of ISOC-Congo, the technical manager for a local ISP, with a masters degree in téléinformatique, a diploma on Telecommunications Policy and Regulation, and a trainee at the Internet Governance Working Group Secretariat (based on two years course work with the diploFoundation) and prior chair of Centre Africain de Complementarite Scolaire, Universitaire et de Promotion and ASCIS (African Civil Society for Information Society), has self-nominated for an AFRALO elected position. The incumbent, Hawa Diakite, has argued that as he is not a member of a certified ALS, he cannot stand for election.

Summit Plans
by Danny Younger Sept. 28, 2008

Sept. 28, 2008

A few questions: 1. The Summit Questionnaire revealed that 28 ALSs would like to be a part of the team planning and running the Summit. Who has been assigned to reaching out to these ALSs to formally invite them into the process? 2. The Summit Questionnaire revealed that attendees support the idea of a Keynote Speaker. Who is on the team that will select the Keynote speaker? When does this group meet? What selection criteria will be used? 3. The Summit Questionnaire revealed that most favor panel discussions that allow for audience participation. What are the specific topics that will be covered by these panels? What's the process by which the panelists will be selected? 4. Are Summit WG members prepared to discuss this stuff on-line by email, or will discussion only happen at a teleconference?

Re: [NA-Discuss] [At-Large] "We can't be bothered to vote; so just send us the travel vouchers for Cairo"

Dear Izumi: Thanks for your suggestions. For your information, we changed the way in which voting notices were sent out in order to help prevent them from going in people's spam filters; you may recall that we were all informed that one or two members informed us all that they had not seen notices for this reason. We do often send reminders that votes are closing near the closing time as well. I understand that you are all volunteers, however, there is only so much that systems can do to help remind Members to vote when ballots are open.

The message we receive now comes under the same heading by the staff, even the subject is different, so it is easy to ignore the second or the thrid email which came closely with the first one. izumi 2008/9/28 Izumi AIZU <iza(a)anr.org>: > Sorry, I missed it - in part I did not pay attention, in part I was on the > road and was too busy, in part the vote was closed when I found it. > These are of course my excuse. > > If I could have voted, I would have voted yes. > > izumi > > 2008/9/26 Danny Younger <dannyyounger(a)yahoo.com>: >> In another fine display of participant zeal, eight ALAC members decided to ignore yet another ALAC vote -- this time on the Overview Report on the ALAC Review.

ALAC Election
by Thompson, Darlene Sept. 26, 2008

Sept. 26, 2008

Hi all, I just wanted to announce that Beau Brendler has now been acclaimed as our ALAC rep for another two years. We did not receive any other nominations or volunteers so it was decided on our conference call on Monday to not bother with a formal election. All were in favour of this approach and consensus was achieved. CONGRATULATIONS, BEAU!!! You’re stuck with us for another two years!

"We can't be bothered to vote; so just send us the travel vouchers for Cairo"
by Danny Younger Sept. 26, 2008

Sept. 26, 2008

In another fine display of participant zeal, eight ALAC members decided to ignore yet another ALAC vote -- this time on the Overview Report on the ALAC Review. Those listed below (more than half of the ALAC) did not bother to vote: 1 Izumi Aizu 2 Annette Muehlberg 3 Carlos Aguirre 4 Jose Ovidio Salgueiro 5 Hawa Diakite 6 Thu Hue Nguyen 7 Vanda Scartezini 8 Fatimata Seye Sylla Kudos to the ALAC Chair for the great results obtained under the new "Remedial" participation policy. At this rate, the ALAC will be dead and buried soon.

Wolf, Thanks for the feedback. I note that no Audio Stream will be made available for the Summit's Closing Plenary. Is this a Staff decision or a Summit WG decision? best regards, Danny

Non-Participation
by Danny Younger Sept. 25, 2008

Sept. 25, 2008

Staff has just announced the results of the ALAC vote on the RAA Statement: a vote of 9-0 in favour. This means that 40% of the ALAC did not bother to vote. Those that didn't vote: 1 Annette Muehlberg 2 Carlos Aguirre 3 Jose Ovidio Salgueiro 4 Robert Guerra 5 Thu Hue Nguyen 6 Fatimata Seye Sylla As for me, I'm getting a little bit tired of hearing that one of our elected NARALO reps isn't participating as expected (with a track record that consists mostly of Apologies, Absent, Apologies, Absent, Apologies, Apolgies, Absent, Apologies, Absent, Apologies, Absent). If the NARALO is going to be well served, it needs to have a rep that shows up more than occasionally and who casts a vote when votes are held. At our next monthly meeting we should have a frank discussion about this situation.
