[EURO-Discuss] REMINDER / Community Call with Board Liaison Candidates / 20 September 2009 @ 1800 UTC

Sun Sep 20 09:29:52 CDT 2009

Dear all,

as requested / encouraged by Dessi (our Secretariat), I would like to submit the following questions to the Board Liaison Candidates prior to the ALAC call this evening:

1. The RALO structure at ICANN – ALAC was created in 2007. Several RALOs designed working programmes for their region which were submitted, discussed and approved by their General Assemblies (GA) since then. This WP included outreach activities in the respective region to increase contacts, ALSes and impact of the RALO. With the WP a working budget was drafted in line with the activities suggested. It was clear that each activity has to be further described and substantiated afterwards and submitted to ICANN Staff for approval. It was clear that there would be proper reporting on the events, accountability and transparency provided about what was done, why and how and on the results. This approach could encourage mobilisation, participation and dynamics in the RALO considerably as well as increasing outreach and improving performance. Two good examples for EURALO are events like EuroDIG and the ICANN Studienkreis meetings. So far, we are far from having this RALO planning and working autonomy happen.

Question: Will the Board Liaison Candidate help and support RALOs at ICANN to make these plans and improvements happen?

2. Will the Board Liaison Candidate help and support RALOs to make regular GAs in a F2F format once a year in their region possible and becoming a reliable planning option?

3. Will the Board Liaison Candidate help and support ALAC and RALOs to make a 2nd At-Large Summit in 2011 (according to the best practise in Mexico-City) happening?

Thanks for your considerations and answers. Hear you later,

best,
Wolf

>> possible, the call is scheduled for Sunday, 20th September at 18:00 UTC

>> suitable for people living in the Eastern hemisphere if there is sufficient
>> demand. Please only respond to the Doodle if you are unable to participate
>> in the call scheduled for Sunday, 20th September at 18:00 UTC.   This call
