[lac-discuss-en] Fwd: Statement on ICANN's Meeting Strategy

Wed Nov 14 18:34:25 UTC 2012

 (these are notes from the papers, icann bylaws etc, that can be used as a base for the statement if You all considered it appropiately)

Today the ICANN meeting serves the following purposes:
• Engages local communities in various regions on issues affecting them (outreach). ICANN needs to do more to encourage outreach and involvement from the global community. Taking one meeting every 3 year in LAC  wont help achieving this goal, all the contrary. They are an important foundation of the ICANN multi-stakeholder model.

• It reinforces ICANN’s global character – it increases and widens participation from different
countries.

Icann bylaws. Section 2 core values. 4. Seeking and supporting broad, informed participation reflecting the functional, geographic, and cultural diversity of the Internet at all levels of policy development and decision-making.possible. 

Section 3. NON-DISCRIMINATORY TREATMENT

ICANN shall not apply its standards, policies, procedures, or practices inequitably or single out any particular party for disparate treatment unless justified by substantial and reasonable cause, such as the promotion of effective competition.

Fellowship: adding to What Dev said, The Fellowship program is designed toward ensuring geographic diversity and to include representatives from multiple ICANN regions. Following the New strategic plan would diminish LAC possibility to apply. 

And, Fadi in his Torontos speech emphasized about the New internalization of Icann. Taking Icann to the Community and not the Other way a round.

> With the proposed Consolidated Meeting Strategy impacting when ICANN meetings are held in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and Africa, this "geographic proximity to meetings" criterion for the award of ICANN fellowships for the meetings in Europe and Asia/Pacific from 2014-2016 should be adjusted to allow for more fellowships from persons in Africa and the LAC regions.
