Hi Randy, If you feel the Code of Conduct needs rewording, please feel free to either edit the page directly or discuss the improvements you think are needed on this list. This is a team effort. I've proposed something that others are free to improve on. On individual reps to the GA, the idea is to give individuals who don't belong to one of the certified ALSs a say in the management of NARALO affairs. The way the OP are written now, the 2 representatives of unaffiliated users to the GA have the same voting rights as those of one of the ALSs, _________________________________________ Luc Faubert Conseiller en gouvernance TI et en gestion du changement / IT governance and change management consulting +1 514 236 5129 www.LucFaubert.com <http://www.lucfaubert.com/> www.LucFaubert.com/blog www.isoc.qc.ca <http://www.isoc.qc.ca/> www.ccig.ca <http://www.ccig.ca/> www.maillons.qc.ca <http://www.maillons.qc.ca/> ________________________________ From: RJGlass | America@Large [mailto:jipshida@gmail.com] Sent: 26 avril 2007 14:43 To: Luc Faubert Cc: na-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org Subject: Re: [NA-Discuss] Changes to OP Thanks, I read the code of conduct. It is unlike any code of conduct I've seen, a little too ambiguous. Could someone decide something and put it all up for review before calling for a vote? Subject: Individual reps for GA I don't really understand this concept. I thought this was the purpose for creating the ALS/ALAC/et al. Within this concept are we not reverting to an at-large membership base? Why would someone want to be part of an ALS if they could just have a direct correspondence anyway by claiming to be part of this as an individual?

From my perspective at least, the OP are now pretty much final. The last thing I see we need is the Code of Conduct, which I'll try to work on tomorrow. This will be a separate document. I've received news from IP&T. They are looking at what's involved in participating, will consult internally and give us an answer soon. Sylvia Caras from People Who has registered the org on our Contacts page. We're only missing one voting delegate from CLUE and one from People Who. To all ALSes: please make sure your voting delegates are registered to the NA-Als list (http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/na-als_atlarge-lists.ic ann.org ). I've looked at the list of subscribers and not all of the voting delegates are subscribed. To all unaffiliated users: this is your last chance to choose your voting delegates to our General Assembly before the vote on our Operating Principles. If you don't choose any delegates, the vote will happen without you being counted. It's not a problem of course if you get to this later, but I find it curious that with all the fuss about individual users needing to have a voice in NARALO, we don't see more interest in the task of selecting your voting delegates. _________________________________________ Luc Faubert Conseiller en gouvernance TI et en gestion du changement / IT governance and change management consulting +1 514 236 5129 www.LucFaubert.com <http://www.lucfaubert.com/> www.LucFaubert.com/blog www.isoc.qc.ca <http://www.isoc.qc.ca/> www.ccig.ca <http://www.ccig.ca/> www.maillons.qc.ca <http://www.maillons.qc.ca/> ________________________________ From: RJGlass | America@Large [mailto:jipshida@gmail.com] Sent: 23 avril 2007 18:15 To: Luc Faubert Cc: na-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org Subject: Re: [NA-Discuss] Changes to OP Yes, could someone put all the stuff we need together in one shot that we need to look at and/or revise and/or vote on??

I hope this is all satisfactory. We still need to define our Code of Conduct. If anybody wants to help, we should ideally do this before ratifying our OP this week, as the OP parag. 17 now says that participation to NARALO implies agreement to the Code of Conduct, _________________________________________ Luc Faubert Conseiller en gouvernance TI et en gestion du changement / IT governance and change management consulting +1 514 236 5129 www.LucFaubert.com <http://www.lucfaubert.com/> www.LucFaubert.com/blog www.isoc.qc.ca <http://www.isoc.qc.ca/> www.ccig.ca <http://www.ccig.ca/> www.maillons.qc.ca <http://www.maillons.qc.ca/> _______________________________________________ NA-Discuss mailing list NA-Discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/na-discuss_atlarge-lists .icann.org --- Draft MoU with ICANN: http://www.icannwiki.org/NA_RALO_MOU Draft Operating Principles: http://www.icannwiki.org/NA_RALO_OP -- ------------------------- AmericaAtLarge.org RJPacific.com DDMF.org -- ------------------------- AmericaAtLarge.org RJPacific.com DDMF.org
