[NA-Discuss] FW: [Secretariat] Agenda proposal for Secretariats meeting Singapore

[Thompson, Darlene]

We discussed this at the RALO Leadership telephone conference this morning.  We concluded that there are three basic "types" of non-active ALSs:


  1.  ALSs who have ceased to exist (for whatever reason the business has failed)
  2.  An ALS who only had one person that was interested in ICANN-related matters and that person has moved on
  3.  An ALS who just doesn't participate (maybe has lost interest?)

In the case of #1, de-accreditation can happen almost immediately.  In the case of #2, we would want to consult with the person who has moved on to make any kind of informed decision.  In the case of #3, we would want to give longer time lines and try to re-engage.

We will be talking about this more in Singapore and I will make sure that you are included, Eduardo.  It will be during the Secretariat's Meeting that is always held at the ICANN conferences.

I would like to hear from anybody who has an opinion on this!

I agree that there should be a de-certification of a non-active ALS but after a due process is executed. I believe the EURALO process is a good base document but it needs to be discussed by all.

If we say that we have X number of members but only Y (meaning less) participate in anything at all, we can not really say that we have X members. The point of the RALOs is to bring together the common issues and concerns of the region. That is only going to happen if its members are really involved in one way or another. We need to talk about improving our recruiting activities

Please include me in this discussion while in Singapore.

Thanks.

Hi all,

The leadership will be discussing what to do about non-active ALSs.  Attached is what the EURALO is proposing to do.  Our current wording is:

"When an ALS representative does not vote in 3 consecutive NARALO elections or does not contribute a comment on ICANN policy through collaboration on the At-Large discussion lists in 12 consecutive months, it automatically loses its voting rights and active status within the NARALO. The ALS should be notified of the status change and may regain its voting rights and active status if within the next 12 months it votes or participates to online discussions, otherwise the Chair will submit to ALAC a request for de-certification of that ALS."

The wording above makes it so an inactive ALS will not negatively affect our quorum.  We have never actually taken the step of de-certification of an ALS.  Can I have any comments you might have on our process?  We will be discussing this in Singapore.
