Dear all,

as communicated last week on this list, the EURALO representatives participating in the community call on the ICANN Strategic Plan may submit a EURALO position that they can advocate during the call to mark EURALO’s priorities.

I have not seen any suggestions or comments so far. Therefore, I would like to suggest the following points as a draft of an EURALO input:

To implement the community recommendations from the ICANN – At-Large Summit in Mexico from March 2009 such as to improve ICANN’s transparency and accountability.

In this context it was stated that a further empowerment of ICANN’s At-Large structure is needed. If ICANN intends to strengthen Multi-Stakeholder participation and the voice of Internet users in its decision making process more incentives and enabling mechanisms  for ALSes and user communities are essential. In this perspective RALOs need more institutional support and funding for their outreach activities (such as the ICANN-Studienkreis meeting, EuroDIG etc.), besides their regular General Assemblies. With this assistance from ICANN we can reach our ambitious goal to organise one ALS from each country in the respective RALO and region at least. As it was repeatedly stated in the public consultation process for new gTLDs, entrance barriers need to be lowered to allow better competitive chances for non-commercial parties and stakeholders.

The development perspective of the Internet cannot be seen as a mere market place. Therefore the public interest needs more attention and respect in ICANN’s decision making process and strategic planning.


Please feel free to add more points of concern to this draft or improve the wording of this text. Otherwise, I will dare to present this as an EURALO input at the community call next Friday PM for the ALAC Statement on the Strategic Plan.

Thanks and kind regards,
Wolf
