[At-Large] [NA-Discuss] Reason for NO vote for TelecommunitiesCanada's ALS application

[Jacqueline A. Morris]

Why would you say that they are ducking the issue of At Large VOTING
representation on the Board? It's been discussed at the ALAC/Board meetings
several times, and in Lisbon we got quite a positive response. We do
currently have representation on the Board, BTW.

...and is it your intent as head of the Board
Governance Committee to continue ducking the issue of
At-Large representation on ICANN's Board? or the
issues of transparency and accountability?  

Presumably you directors did more than feast at the
ICANN director's retreat; will we ever get a synopsis
of your discussions, or does your concept of
transparency in the public interest still preclude 
disclosure?

regards,
Danny
