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

Mon Oct 29 19:57:19 EDT 2007

Hi Mohammed

I got an email this morning that sent a proposed agenda, and asked for
comments and edits, so obviously I didn’t think that this was an agenda
fixed in stone. I previously had sent a detailed draft agenda (last week)
and some items were included and some left out. Some of what I sent last
week I have not suggested be re-integrated.

I am not the only one who thinks that a more in-depth discussion with fewer
topics is more useful. There is obviously a difference in what the meeting
is seen as. 

Generally, the meetings with Board members are there for an in-depth  2 way
dialog on issues that are 1) before the Board and we want to make our point
before they meet, or 2) that are issues important to at large that have been
ignored by the ICANN processes and we want to raise them with the Board as
at a higher level,  3) strategic issues relating to the At Large and its
position within ICANN.  4) to gauge the Board’s reaction to certain issues.

The forum for updating the Board on what we’re up to has traditionally been
the Public Forum statement.

If we want to change the format, that’s fine, but it isn’t currently
unanimous, as you can see from the discussions.

Also, some of the issues that were proposed by the sub-committee have been
dealt with, as 1) ALAC review – ICANN put out a statement recently on this,
stating where we are in the process, what the Board has decided etc. 2)
Domain tasting – is in a process that we asked for, and we have had recent
updates on this.  Those for sure would be a waste of time (IMO) to have
Board members repeat the material that was recently published. 

3) gTLD and GNSO – we have been asked for and have been developing written
responses, so why discuss BEFORE we have sent those? We can say – yes, we
are nearly ready to send the statement, and look out for it… but that’s what
we should raise in the forum and workshop…

Hi Jaq.

a group which is delegated by ALAC yesterday meeting which it had a meeting
today to prepare for ALAC & ICANN Board meeting tomorrow, and they presented
us with a proposal today "an early meeting".

i see some major changes on the proposal "speakers" and items, for me i
guess the earlier proposal is OK, regarding the time issue we can reduce the
time to 5 mins for issues and proprietaries the  issues  .

am sure at 7pm meeting we can agree on the issues and our prioritize our
issues .

Regards,
Mohamed

OK
Here's my take on the agenda now:
Introductions – Jacqueline 5 mins
 - Acknowledgement and introduction for outgoing and incoming ALAC members 
 - New members introduction 
ALAC in Transition- Veronica – Report on – One day  Workshop - 5 mins
Discussion with Board on the future of ALAC and At Large - 30 mins
Policy issues - 
- gNSO improvement and gTLDs – Alan (5 min + discussion 5 min - total 10
min)
- IDNs - Hong, Bilal - 10 min (include IGF, work with GAC and ccNSO)
- IPV4 and IPV6 – Izumi, Didier - 10 min
- Registrar Accreditation Agreements (RAAs), Registry Escrow  -Beau, danny -
10 min
- Bylaws change (brief mention and any questions from Board before they get
to it in their meeting) - Jacqueline ; Cheryl - 5 mins max
- Budget- Cheryl and Annette - 15 mins total 

This takes us to about  100 min, leaving 20 min for flexibility - e.g. late
arrival of Board members(happens a lot as they have to do many meetings) as
well as some flexibility to increase discussion time on issues that may turn
out to need more time.

I agree with this as well. A significant portion of the meeting should be
open for a more flexible discussion of the status and future of the ALAC.

agree with Siavash
that we should include a visioning issue as well.
