[AFRI-Discuss] Improvement of the win-win relationship between the Staff and the At-Large Community

[Frederic Teboul]

Hello Alan and thanks for your message,

As previously stated, we will share the aggregated input with you, along with an analysis of the trends that we see, and our thoughts on how we might collectively (Staff and community) respond to the Regional At-Large
Organizations' needs to support greater involvement in ICANN.  After community discussion and concurrence, an Action Plan will be publicly posted and implemented.

Many thanks and best regards,

Frederic

I do not know, it is too complex to figure out in the time available.
IMHO this is why we elect representatives to the committee to inform
us of them. I have not been able to get a triage on this important
task ...

Help with point one. Clear simple to read emails.

Participation, representation, transparency, clarity.

Not important to me.

Clear simple communications
Regular reporting and updates
Regular elections

(e.g., "Operational Plan and Budget for FY 08/09" is not relevant to
us, I would much prefer to see a whois TF update and gtld process
update in simple to read language with the key points).

Ensure that our representatives are communicating and are representing
our interests
