[EURO-Discuss] Important: Lisbon GA planning and procedures

[EMP]

Dear all,

I would like to support all Sandra's proposition and to add some more aspects.

Situation with .health was really very illustrative. ICANN was
extremely interested to know what we all (including Ukrainian ALSes)
think on this objection process. I do not know anybody in Ukraine, who
cares about this .health (except Alexander Kondaurov, who, as a member
of WG, spent a lot of his time and efforts to analyze this issue).

At the same time, nobody in ICANN is interested to know, what we,
Ukrainian ALSes, think about the delegation of Ukrainian IDN .ykp.

http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-28feb13-en.htm#2.c.rationale

Despite we shared with a lot of ICANN/ALAC/At-Large representatives
all our concerns regarding this delegation.

Of course we have our own responsibility for missing the agenda of
this Board meeting. But even now, what transparency and accountability
we are talking about? How did Sebastien vote in this case? How did
Bertrand vote? What documents were submitted to the board by Ukrainian
apllicant?

Now both EMP and InAU are members of the Advisory Committee on top
level domains at National Regulator. And we really would like to help
to bridge different national stakeholders between themselves and with
ICANN.

In more general case, it is the question how national ALSes can help
in communication between ICANN and end users regarding national
issues. Do ALSes have any additional rights, responsibilities, tools
of communication or even dispute resolutions?

One again - I do not propose just now to discuss any specific issues.
Just the role of any ALS regarding both ICANN and local Internet
community.

Best regards,
Oksana

The .health objection process was a good example that there is no working mechanism to gather feedback form At-Large or have a discussion on an issue where the ALAC is supposed to vote on in the interest of the end user?

> until the end of the registration deadline for the Lisbon 2013 GA, we have received 27 confirmations from our members what is more than 80 per cent of the current total (33). Thanks for your support!
>
> These 27 participants were listed and sent to At-Large Staff and ICANN Constituency Travel who is preparing the booking arrangements with you at the moment. I assume, you will be contacted directly by CT during the next two weeks to handle your flight bookings with them. A complete list of travellers you can find here
> https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+ALSes+Representatives+to+the+2013+GA
> Please check names, ALS and preferred “home” airport again and let us know any changes needed.
>
> Your hotel rooms in Lisbon are pre-booked already for the nights from Wednesday 19 and 20 June (incl. EuroDIG) in the Altis hotel what will be the venue for the GA and EuroDIG – see:
> http://www.altishotels.com/EN/
>
> For Per diem arrangements you will be contacted at a later stage.
>
> Please be aware that due to the high percentage of participation, our travel budget is rather tight and we can only offer low budget flights (by Easyjet and the like) wherever possible. But for short-distance flights to Lisbon we consider this as acceptable. To get an idea about potential adventures aspects of it, you can check the YouTube clip ;-)

>
> As indicated before, those of you who would like to extend their stay in Lisbon for a cosy summer weekend should arrange this directly with CT for your individual booking – what shouldn’t effect higher flight fares however. Extra costs for hotel nights in Lisbon will be on your own expenses as well.
>
> The planning and preparation of our Lisbon GA agenda will be discussed at our upcoming monthly calls (March and April). Besides the usual and statutory parts of the GA (Board report, re-elections etc.), we would like to draft an interesting *content part* with issues that are relevant for and desired by YOU. Please give us your inputs on the agenda setting and let us know your related ideas ASAP (or until middle of April latest) to compile a complete draft GA agenda in time. (Christoph and Dick submitted their ideas already – thanks!)

> For any further questions on practical issues, org. and planning procedure or the agenda, please let me know.
