[At-Large] Wrong Context for Deciding How to Address EBW's Questions

Dear Carlton,

 

When Evan said Eric wasn’t an At-Large member, I was so surprised because I
know Eric very well, and he participated actively in the JAS WG. Moreover,
he was supported by ICANN to go to the Cartagena Meeting. So, for me, he is
an At-Large member, but needed to double check with the staff.

 

As for his questions, this process is for selecting a Board Director by
ALAC/At-Large. So At-Large members are encouraged to ask questions to
candidates, and the whole thing is the definition of the At-Large members.

 

For the case of Eric, I’m sure he is member for the reasons I mentioned
earlier, and his questions should be posted on the wiki and answered.

Objet : Wrong Context for Deciding How to Address EBW's Questions

 

Dear Tijani:

I have read your response to JJS's query and would wish to provide a
different context for applying whether the questions from EBW should command
response.  

 

I seriously doubt if the case that "Eric is not an at-large member' is good
and sufficient to ignore his questions.  In fact that criteria is misplaced
and fundamentally at odds with the conceptual underpinnings of the
At-Large's in the ICANN community and the ALAC's role in ICANN operations
and governance.  

 

The At-Large is recognized as the home of the ordinary internet user in the
ICANN ecosystem.  While we have embraced a certain organisational framework
as a management tool, active participation of any internet user in ICANN
policy development is the bottomline objective

 

So long as Eric Brunner Williams is an internet enduser and while he remains
within the framework of acceptable conduct established by the At-Large thru
ALAC, there can be no other membership criteria for participation. 

 

You may use other [valid] criteria to reject broadcasting his questions.
And candidates have an absolute right to ignore him and not answer, again
for various and sundry reasons.  But a status of membership or membership
criteria may not be employed as disqualifiers.

 

And I say this as one who has been unfairly maligned by the said Eric
Brunner Williams.

 

Best,

-Carlton

Dear Jean Jacques,



Thank you for answering the questions posted on the wiki.

As for Eric questions, Evan said Eric is not an at-large member. If he is
not, we will ignore his questions. If he is, his question will be posted on
the wiki to be answered by the candidates.



Heidi, can you please confirm that Eric is not an At-Large member???

Question and Answer Workspace - Deadline: 10 March



Dear Tijani and Heidi,



1) This is to let you know that, in response to the questions from Eduardo
Diaz, I've posted my replies in the Questions and Answers Workspace

https://community.icann.org/display/ABMS/2014+At-Large+Board+Director+Candid
ates+-+Questions+and+Answers+Workspace .



2) I requested your guidance about the questions from Eric Brunner-Williams,
which I have only received in email form, but which are not (yet?) on the
Questions and Answers Workspace. A point was raised by Alan about regional
factors, and Eric replied by addressing the questions to the individuals,
rather than in their regional capacity. Do you intend to post Eric's
questions, to be replied to in the same format as Eduardo's questions?



Thank you.



Best regards,

Jean-Jacques.
