[NA-Discuss] [At-Large] "We can't be bothered to vote; so just send us the travel vouchers for Cairo"

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

Dear Darlene:

Many thanks for your thanks ­ however, thanks are really due to the Chair of
the ALAC for making transparency in so many ways, and performance indicator
publication, a priority, and for the ALAC and the community for supporting
these measures.

<personal opinion mode on>

May I take this opportunity to note that it is our understanding that
At-Large is the only community where leaders have established participation
requirements, and also the only community in ICANN which publishes
information about the performance of those the requirements cover. I believe
this is something that many others in ICANN are not aware of and that these
initiatives are very much to the community¹s credit.
