Great questions, Evan FYI a wiki page for the community call will soon be published this will have space for questions to candidates and their responses to be recorded, can you (or whoever) ensure the NARALO generated questions also get listed their ? As soon as the page is set up we'll put out an 'Announce"... Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO) On 5 November 2010 06:32, Beau Brendler <beaubrendler@earthlink.net> wrote:

1) How do you define "end-user," "consumer," "registrant," and where do those terms intersect?

2) Does ICANN do an adequate job of responding to the concerns of [end-user, consumer, registrant] in your view?

3) Evaluate this statement: "The [end-user, consumer, registrant} has no role in ICANN."

3) What is ICANN's scope? Does it include enforcement of provisions in the Registrar Accreditation Agreement?

4) Would you characterize WHOIS as: a) A violation of privacy b) A worthwhile tool for accountability, if it worked as it's supposed to c) An outmoded concept that should be done away with d) A failure that needs revamping so it works uniformly as intended

From: Evan Leibovitch <evan@telly.org> Sent: Nov 3, 2010 1:28 PM To: NARALO Discussion List <na-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org> Subject: [NA-Discuss] Questions for Board candidates

Hello all,

Regardless of the direction of the ongoing petition debate, we are going to eventually have an election for the Board position; from at very least the three agreed by the BCEC and possibly one other being considered for petition.

In the interest of At-Large's making an informed selection from amongst the candidates I do not want to wait for the end of the petition process to start guiding the NARALO voters to informed choices. And I made a commitment to know the preferences of NARALO ALSs and individual members as I consider my own selection.

In view of that I *urge* NARALO members to view the online statements of interest. Here are the SOIs for the candidates put forward by the BCEC: Alan< https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/2265195/At-Large+Director+A... , Pierre< https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/2265195/At-Large+Director+A... and Sébastien< https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/2265195/At-Large+Director+A... . I also include Avri's< https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/2265195/At-Large+Director+A... in case the petition succeeds.

I am aware that ICANN staff are arranging a community call at which the candidates will be able to advance their causes for election.

However, in addition, I would also like to solicit NARALO members for questions to be given to each candidate, to which they will be asked to provide a written response. Such questions, which would go beyond the issues stated in each person's SOI, would allow candidates to give thoughful, complete answers on issues in a manner that simply isn't possible in a crowded, multilingual conference call. One does not replace the other; I am proposing a questionnaire as a complementary way for us to determine which candidate best serves the community's needs.

Please let me know your questions; try to keep them as neutral and relevant as possible. If the collection is worthwhile I will assemble them, submit the questionnaire to candidates early next week, and publish the responses as they are received.

If you have a question of a particular candidate (based on something in their SOI or history) please also submit them, though I'm not sure yet if/how I'll do that.

Thanks!
