[At-Large] [EURO-Discuss] VOTE RESULTS: 2014 At-Large Board Director (Seat #15) Selection Process

[Wolf Ludwig]

Hi Bill, Evan and all,

I agree with you that improved collaboration between ALAC, NCUC, NCSG and "the broader CS community" or "how user-oriented groups are institutionally siloed and whether some sort of pan-ICANN coordination could be feasible?" would be an important issue for the ATALS II agenda. As we defined some priority areas and subjects in Singapore and will ask the Subject matter experts (SME) for some sub-topics on each, this issue would perfectly fit into / under point 3 and/or 5.

1. The future of multistakeholderism – Adam Peake 
2. The globalization of ICANN – Rinaliah Abdul Rahim / Roberto Gaetano 
3. Global Internet: The User Perspective – Jean-Jacques Subrenat 
4. ICANN Transparency and Accountability – Avri Doria / Hong Xue
5. At-Large Community Engagement in ICANN – Olivier Crépin-Leblond / Mike O'Connor

To be followed up during further ATALS II program elaboration and tuning. Thanks and 

best regards,
Wolf

But actually I was responding to Wolfgang’s broader point about how user-oriented groups are institutionally siloed and whether some sort of pan-ICANN coordination could be feasible.  Of course, that At Large is not only noncommercial users and is declaredly not a civil society network per se presents some complications there, but it still could be an element, if not the singular focus, of an agenda for a joint session.
