Fadi made a specific point that Complance will report directly to him during the speech in which he announced the spin off of the gTLD mess^H^H^H^Hexpansion into a separate division. It's probably time for the ALAC to issue specific advice to the Board and CEO to take care of this backlog. Copy to ATRT2, as IMO this is a massive accountability issue. I propose us collectively writing such a formal statement of advice, to be agreed to by NARALO consensus and then advanced to ALAC (which I would commit to do).

Thanks Danny, it's actually even worse than most are aware of. Hope to have more details soon.

Garth,
Thanks for the update. Having read your report and having noted the June Compliance update (1892 complaints - 4 enforcement actions), it's fairly clear that the primary function of the Compliance department is two-fold: (1) citing registrars for "Failure to pay past due accreditation fees pursuant to Section 3.9 of the RAA" and (2) sweeping everything else under the rug.
I appreciate your ongoing efforts to deal with this matter.
Danny Younger

Kieren,
Thanks for the comment. Our elections are critical and getting them right is even more important.
As far as reporting goes I would like to draw your attention to this document: http://www.knujon.com/icann_compliance_2012.pdf <http://www.knujon.com/icann_compliance_2012.pdf> which shows that ICANN's internal compliance function is essentially non-functional regardless of recently published data by ICANN. This was a follow up to a report sent directly to the CEO ( http://www.icann.org/en/news/correspondence/bruen-to-chehade-22apr13-en.pdf ) which has not been responded to.
ICANN is failing the public At-Large and won't discuss these core concerns, has been completely silent on them. I think you can help by raising your voice to ask about them as well from within our community.
There is a very long report log here:
https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Durban+Meeting+Reports+ Workspace which is being constantly updated by At-Large representatives, even remote ones. Working groups regularly give reports on our monthly calls. We'd love to have you come on and give your perspective, let me know.
So, it's not really a question of reporting from At-Large, it's more of a question of why we have to leave our families and travel thousands of miles just to be ignored by ICANN. It's really not that much fun. If the problems could be solved and questions answered, we wouldn't have to go at all.
-Garth

I wish as much time, energy and effort had gone into informing us about the meeting you were paid as our representatives to attend last week in Durban as has been out into bickering about voting procedures.

Tom,
I presume that by "incumbent" you mean people in office such as the ALAC members or ALAC Chair (usually it is used referring to the person who is in office but is in a contested election).
I guess our experiences are different. Certainly someone who is part of a current organization is familiar with the others who may be in a contested election. But KNOW is definitely not the same as TRUST and not infrequently KNOW is synonymous with wanting someone new. (And I am not implying anything about the people in the current election).

Alan,
What I am trying to say is that incumbents will better know and trust a known player. Amopholy (sp?), might describe the human response that Option 4 draws upon. There are both good and bad associated with this. Random is life.
Best,
