[At-Large] <IMPORTANT> Draft Plan for Tuesday's AtLarge community meeting with ICANN Board

[Siavash Shahshahani]

Sorry I sent my response without completing it. I'd like to add the
following with the respect to the 'task' I've been assigned as ccNSO
liaison:
The area of greatest activity has been IDN ccTLDs and I made my share of
contributions to the IDN paper Hong has prepared. I believe we should
support the fast-track initiative of ccNSO-GAC. Regarding Geographic Areas
report, I believe that the traditional division of regions is archaic at
least for Internet purposes and ICANN should set up a task force to study
the matter in greater depth.
Regards,
Siavash

> Here are some comments:
>  'ALAC in transition' seems to me should be the obvious theme of the
> meeting. Parceling out the time into microscopic segments will not allow
> any in-depth discussion. This is the longest meeting with the Board ALAC
> has had at least in the last two years and the opportunity should not be
> missed.
> So I suggest that instead of giving brief positions on a large number of
> issues, we allow half of the time to be spent on brainstorming with the
> Board about the future of ALAC and at-large representation.
> Other comments between the lines:

>
>> Jacqueline to Chair the meeting, Izumi assist Jacqueline as time-keeper
>
> Do we need a time-keeper? Shouldn't the Chair do that? In any case the
> time-keeper should apply the same standards to himself/herself.

> specially if they're allowed equal time?
>
