Dear All, Sending this message in advance of our conference call tomorrow. Bill Smith, Sharon Lemon and I took the action item on our last call to propose a voting agreement for the group. [...] 6) Each RT member may designate an alternate to attend meetings either remotely or in person. However, the alternate will not have voting privileges, with the exception of the ICANN CEO alternate. [...]
I am not aware of an agreeement to allow alternate persons to attend meetings? Actually, I think this would be a pretty bad idea to begin with, because we have been mandated *personally* to participate in the RT. Our names, affiliations and SoIs have been published. We are expected to sign and abide by CoI provisions and the like. Allowing us, with the exception of the CEO of ICANN (which I consider an internal decision), to introduce other individuals imho invalidates this documented (and open) process. I may have missed stuff by not being able to keep hooked in during the duration of the previous meeting, but I am a bit worried that we may get out of sync with the lack of meeting minutes being available for the moment. My feeling is that we are trying to get things nailed down in a sort of chaotic fashion right now. Regards, Wilfried.
