<div dir="ltr">Hi Patricia
<div>Lets make sure that we understand that this is
difficult times and this special Emergency Fund is
a band-aid and not a solution . My major concern
as I ranted about a few weeks ago is the help to
those ATLARGE community members who need
assistance for Internet connectivity so they can
be connected during the ICANN multiple meetings.
In my survey we found significant high prices
and low bandwidth in Africa parts of the far
East. Maybe many more locations. ICANN has
saved alot of money not paying stipend, airfare,
hotels and all the associated costs of CANCUN, KL
and probably Hamburg and perhaps 2021 and we are
naive to think that we will not lose folks. Our
multistakeholderism is at risk. We need to be
proactive. </div>

<div>Dear Barrack,</div>
<div>Just so that I am clear. I
TOTALLY agree with the point you
made about relationships and having
concern for others. I have NO
problem with this at all.
Relationships should transcend
borders as you mentioned. I totally
agree with where she is coming from
and share that view too. Please
don't get me wrong. I agree with
helping. I would also do there same
however if I head a
company/government and in the name
of helping a friend I give out money
from the public purse to help a
friend in distress then no one
should pity me when it is time to go
to jail. Do you think anyone in
charge of ICANN's finances would at
any point in time be able to justify
helping someone stranded in another
country on a non-ICANN business?. I
am not saying don't help am saying
you can't push it to ICANN</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Let me list where I disagree so
that I am very clear</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. Daniel's Name should not have
been mentioned in the email to Leon.
Iit could have been a generic thing
just as Glenn did in his mail. I
believe his privacy has been
compromised. We all now know who is
stranded and where. </div>
<div>2. It shouldn't have been used as
an example to convince the board cos
clearly it would make them take an
easy decision because I can't see
how you can convince your company to
pay the hotel bills for a friend who
came on a private visit when you are
not running a charity. The main
issue should be about the general
challenges, not individual
challenges that way an individual
can benefit.</div>
<div>3. It should not appear as the
new priority. The priority should be
the concerns the community has been
rasing that never got to the next
level.</div>
<div>I hope you understand my point. </div>

<div dir="auto">Hi Abdulkarim,
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Permit me to
weigh in on this matter.
Having been involved in ICANN
for a little over 10 years now
i have come to appreciate the
role of relationships and
genuine concern for each
others well being. This is
what has kept me and many
others going in this ecosystem
for many years and i beleive
this is where Maureen is
coming from. I literaly drop
everything i am doing whenever
a member of this community is
in town due to the
relationships we have
established which transcend
borders. As a leader, i would
do the same when one of my
team members is in dire
straits. We all have an idea
of the letter and the spirit
of the law or by laws.
Whichever school of thought
you align yourself with has
impacts on the output of your
team or any organization you
may be leading. The issues
that have been raised are
suggestions and should be
treated as such. In my opinion
Maureen is right as a leader
to bring to the fore an issue
a member of her leadership
team is facing. Being a
diverse community, Daniels
help might just be an email
away. If we can't help him
then let the matter rest.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Maureen,</div>

</div>
<div> Your response has
clearly brought out one of
the three points that I
was trying to make. I
never asked that the
individual should not be
supported but I do not
think it is right to
prioritise one person at
the expense of the
community. Who would your
leadership team serve if
the community is not
there?. </div>
<div>I pointed out in the
least paragraph of my
email to you that the need
to support the community
has been mentioned several
times by different people
at different At-Large
meetings but it was not
taking to the next level
until Leon stepped in only
for it now to be
overshadowed by a
non-ICANN issue is one of
my concerns. The board
would make an easy
decision on this matter as
it is clearly dominated by
a non-ICANN and private
issue. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Leadership role and
general work within
at-large is voluntary and
if you are concern about
him "regardless of how he
came about it". That
should not overshadow what
is affecting most people
within the community. We
need to get our priorities
right. I am sure you only
found out about his case
yesterday because
according to the records I
just checked he has been
attending the meeting he
chairs and other meetings
including that of ATRT 3.
I am not trying to
trivialise his issue in
any way but I decided to
respond because I smell a
rat. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I do not understand
what you mean by "unusual
predicament" because we
are all in an "unusual
predicament" of COVID 19.
I also don't understand
why you mean by
"extreme bad luck" but a
lot of other people are
affected by the "extreme
bad luck" and USA has
handled the COVID
situation far better than
a lot of other countries.
I can give numerous
example. some don't even
have the test kit to test
talk less of detection.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is not about me
helping or not. Like you
rightly said it is
voluntary. Doing what is
important to us as leaders
mean we should be fair,
listen and look after the
community, not just one
person we find loyal to
us. </div>

<div dir="auto">While
I agree with you
that there are
surely situations
similar to that of
Daniel within
At-Large, many do
not have the same
level of
responsibility to
the work of
At-Large as he
does. As one of my
leadership team, I
am concerned about
his circumstances,
regardless of how
he came upon
them. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">It
was his concern
for his ability to
meet his
obligations to his
leadership role
which caused me to
mention his
unusual
predicament. I
only found out
about where he was
and his situation
yesterday. Even
when he should be
thinking about
himself, he was
informing me as to
why he might not
be able to fulfil
his obligations to
the O&E team
for an unknown
timeframe. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">It
was extreme bad
luck that he was
not able to leave
the country at the
conclusion of the
leadership event,
especially in a
country that I
believe has very
poorly managed its
covid situation. I
sympathise with
anyone who ever
finds themselves
in a situation
such as this. If
there is any way
that our community
can help relieve
Daniel's situation
until his
country's embassy
can assist his
return to Uganda,
then Im happy to
do my bit. </div>

<div dir="auto">We
cant do this for

someone like
Daniel who has
volunteered a lot
of personal time
towards work
within At-Large as
well as in
cross-community
activities for
several years, he
deserves my
support even if in
this small way,
and gratefully
with the support
of other
like-minded
people. </div>

you would like to
help too, that is

<div dir="ltr">
<div dir="ltr">Dear Maureen,
<div>I greatly
sympathise
with Daniel on
this issue you
shared and I
totally agree
with your
approach of
setting up a
welfare team
and the
Gofundme.
However, I do
not understand
why you
decided to
include it in
your email to
Leon. His
travel is
clearly not
related to the
challenges
being faced by
the community
as a result of
having what
should have
been a face to
face meeting
going online.
Your email was
saying you
removed a
message cos it
is not ICANN
related but
yet it
included an
issue which is
clearly not
ICANN related.
The unrelated
issue you
raised has
clearly
overshadowed
the other
critical
issue. In
fact, it took
the most
significant
part of the
mail. What was
supposed to be
the main point
in the mail is
now being
relegated to
paragraph 3.
In as much as
I sympathise
with Daniel, I
do not see the
reason why a
private issue
was now
explicitly
discussed in
an email to
Leon and the
community.
There are lots
of people
around the
world in a
similar situation
and I can't
understand and
I don't
clearly want
to guess why
you are making
Daniel's case
look worse
than it is or
as an example
for the
mailing list.
I have lots of
friends and
even family
members
stranded as a
result of the
unexpected
shutdown. We
all faced
challenges in
our private
lives or
because of the
unexpected
shut down of
the world and
I believe this
should remain
private except
if ICANN is
now a social
club. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I also
agree with
Remmy Nweke
that RALO
leaders should
also take
up the issues
relating to
challenges the
community is
facing in
regards to
having an
online
meeting. This
is because
they are
closer to the
community and
It took Leon
to raise it
specifically
before it
became a
serious issue
for the ALAC
when clearly
we should not
have waited
this long. It
has been

<div>Dear Leon</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is
the discussion
that arose out
of the request
from the ALAC
meeting. I am
so grateful
that the
community
restricted
their comments
to those that
were most
thoughtful and
considerate of
ICANN's
situation
while also
taking into
account some
of the
hardship
issues
experienced by
our volunteers
at this time.
I forward all
the emails
received on
the topic (I
had one
instance where
the email was
on another
topic and once
revealed, the
sender asked
for it to be
removed).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One case
which only
very recently
came to my
attention was
Daniel
Nanghaka who
was in the US
attending an
AMEX
Leadership
course in
Washington DC
when the
flights out of
US were
grounded and
he could not
return to
Uganda. He has
been staying
with friends
in
Massachusetts
but living
very frugally
on his limited
resources.
Even though he
has tried, his
contacts with
the Uganda
Embassy in
Washington DC
have not been
responded to
(as of
yesterday) and
neither has
AMEX been of
any real
assistance to
his plight. I
have suggested
that he
persist and if
possible
return to
Washington DC
to get his
government's
support
directly.
Fortunately he
is still
within scope
of his current
visa, but who
knows how long
will he have
to remain in a
foreign
country
without any
resources?
Daniel hadn't
raised his
situation with
us because his
reason for
being there
was not
directly
related to
ICANN, except
that <u>he is
worried </u>that
he may not be
able to
participate in
his meetings
because
internet
connection is
expensive and
it is draining
what little
resources he
has at the
moment, even
to take his
own O&E
meetings. This
is an extreme
case but a
real live
situation for
one of our
leadership
team. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The cost
of internet
and the loss
of jobs
especially for
those in
developing
countries will
make ICANN's
work of less
priority,
especially
when they have
to worry more
about how to
feed and care
for their
families in
situations
where the
pandemic is
still rabid,
and it is the
impoverished
areas that are
being hardest
hit. While I
know that
ICANN cannot
save the
world, it
saddens me to
know what some
of our
hardest-working
volunteers are
experiencing
in their real
worlds... and
yet at the
same time
there is still
a flow of even
more meetings
than before,
even within
At-Large, with
an expectation
of more
volunteer
input into
issues that
ICANN has to
resolve. All I
can say is
that the
longer this
situation
exists, the
greater the
chance of
those voices
that we have
been working
really hard to
encourage to
join our
discussions,
will disappear
and our
multistakeholder
model will be
truly lost.
But what can
ICANN do and
what more can
we do as
volunteers who
are already
stretched
within our own
bubbles just
to keep
ourselves
safe? This is
our dilemma.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Dear
At-Large
Community
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In all
our recent
ICANN
meetings, the
Board and the
senior staff
have been very
mindful of the
difficulties that are being experienced by the volunteer community of
At-Large
during this
pandemic and
its impact on
their ability
to participate
as regularly
as they used
to.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>During
his
intervention
in the ALAC
meeting on 28
April, the
At-Large
appointed
Board member,
Leon Sanchez,
raised his
ongoing
concerns and
asked the 70+
participants
at the meeting
how ICANN
might be able
to help
volunteers to
continue with
their active
involvement in
the work of
At-Large and
contributing
to the bigger
picture work
of ICANN.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Because
he has
requested
practical and
constructive
suggestions
about how
ICANN may be
able to
assist, I am
putting this
message out to
those who also
already attend
online
meetings and
actively
participate
and engage,
even under
really trying
personal
circumstances.
I am willing
to pass on
your
suggestions to
Leon, who will
in turn take
these to the
Board for
their
consideration. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><u>Please
respond only
to this thread</u>
before 7 May,
so that the
full
account can be
passed on to
Leon. I look
forward to
your
thoughtful
contributions
to this
matter. </div>

<div dir="ltr">Thanks
Maureen
<div>As you
know this is
an issue I
brought up in
the ALT PLUS
call a week
before the
ZOOM call this
week with
Leon, at that
time I
interfaced
with Leon on
the dire
straits that
some people
are facing
during this
pandemic
situation and
that many
folks are
unwilling to
step forward
and publicly
come to the
table with a
"cap in their
hands" </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are
facing a 4%
drop in the
world economy
and this means
a
depression much
worse than the
Great
Depression.
Also this
Covid-19 may
see a serious
second and
third wave
resulting in
many more
deaths and
economic
disruption. (
shades of the
1918 pandemic
that killed
100 million) </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would
surmise that
we have in the
ATLARGE
community that
many folks are
unemployed or
underemployed
and facing
tough times
and seriously
compounded in
countries that
don't have any
safety net to
protect them
and help them
over the
difficult
times. Since
charity starts
at home I
suggest ICANN
dig into its
pockets as
ISOC and
Mozilla and
many others
and come up
with a
financial
assistance to
those that
could really
appreciate the
support. I
suggest that
the stipend
for the ICANN
Meetings to be
paid to the
ATLARGE
members which
will cover
their internet
costs and food
costs as they
fully
participate
with the
remote
meetings.
In the cases
where people
don't want or
need this
financial
support they
can simple not
apply for the
stipend and
the financial
costs would be
reduced. It
should be
confidential
and an
optional
application
process. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In a
recent survey
of Atlarge
members we
found a large
number of
African and
small island
states with
very poor
internet
access and
very high
costs for
their access
to the
Internet.
This produces
a digital
divide that
needs to be
recognized and
if not
addressed we
may loose more
members from
the
community. As
recommendations to join more online meetings and join ICANN LEARN
webinars its
an assumption
that we all
have fair and
equal access
and this
inequality is
enhanced with
more reliance
on remote
participation </div>

<div dir="ltr">Thanks
Maureen,
<div>This is
very
thoughtful
both of ICANN,
ALAC and Leon.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For me,
the best
possible way
to encourage
participation
should have
been:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. To
have data
palliative,
but it looks
cumbersome
from ICANN end
down to the
local service
providers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. An
alternative is
to have an
aggregated sum
approved for
e.g. 4 months
= USD600; to
be given to
participants
to cushion
their data
effect paid
directly to
them (both
mobile device
and laptop).
Thereby easing
off at ICANN
end and also
encouraging
participant to
optimise the
resource to
their most
essential
needs
including more
data, because
some may have
purchased data
ahead, say two
months in a
row.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope
this helps.<br

In fact, if there are few participants in such areas, it is not because they don’t want to participate. They simply cannot participate unless their internet accessibility issues are addressed. Although ICANN cannot be responsible for all digital divide issues, it must recognize that these exist and perhaps look for alternative ways to deal with these -- create support groups, reach out locally with low tech methods, build partnerships with national, regional, and local organizations, etc.. </span></p>

We would be interested in learning about any surveys that ICANN LEARN staff have done on connectivity challenges of end-users. A recent informal ATLARGE survey, although having only twenty responses, shows that participants in developing countries have limited bandwidth especially in many parts of Africa and small island states combined with high Internet costs. </span></p>

We do expect that participation in future meetings will drop until the economy gets back on track. Participants do not have the available income to spend on the access needed to actively participate in online meetings. We are at a serious risk of losing valuable volunteers. At Large participants are volunteers and unlike other constituencies, they do this outside their paid jobs and often take a vacation to attend ICANN Meetings.</span></p>

Our community has had to dig into their own pockets to pay to participate. If the economy does not pick up we can see a substantial loss of participants from locations we cannot afford to lose. We propose that ICANN recognize the value of these participants and create a special connectivity fund. The process and procedure could be worked out in a simple application and approval process. </span></p>

<div>Hi
Maureen,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My humble
and personal
take to this
is that
similar to the
fellowship
program, we
could consider
support to
community
members who
dedicate
significant
time and
resources to
ICANN's
mission by
contributing
to the work of
various
supporting
organizations
and Advisory
Commitees and
the overall
mission of
ICANN. It is
true engaging
in SO/AC work
costs valuable
time for those
whose day job
may not
necessarily be
around the DNS
ecosystem.
Significant
resources are
incurred to
get online and
to have the
right tools
that can
enable
meaningful
participation
and
contribution
to ICANN's
work. I
welcome the
idea of
reimbursing
some of the
costs incurred
on
connectivity
or any other
aspect as may
be determined
through a
suitable
process
considering
the continuous
nature of the
work we are
doing.</div>

Regards<br>

Glenn has
captured what
some of go
through, if
not worse. I
am based in
rural areas of
Kenya. To
attend online
meetings I
depend at
times on cyber
cafes, which
are not very
reliable, yet
the best
option. The
COVID 19, has
worsened the
situation. The
proposal to
assist us from
developing
countries is
welcome.</p>
