[At-Large] ICANN68 to be a virtual meeting

Sat Apr 11 20:28:34 UTC 2020

I don’t think the work changes that much. Even in a virtual world, it will be a small subset of people who are actually up for the work. What would really be great is to get the lines of communication opened better between us the folks whose interests we represent and the new tech can help with that, for sure. Focus groups, surveys, webinars, etc. are all ways for folks to get just enough engaged to understand what’s at stake and communicate their experiences and expectations.

I fully agree with Olivier,
and may add that regionally allocated meetings, 3 times a year, give people from each region the opportunity to attend at least 1 (closer, less expensive if there is no financial sponsor).
And as for new people for At-Large: everyone who started to work without opportunity to get "fellow ticket"  - even a year of online work for newcomers is not enough to begin to understand the processes, discussions and specifics of the interaction of the entire ICANN system. So it relates directly to quality of everyone`s input and effectiveness.

Not provocative at all, Olivier. We must be careful what we wish for. Unintended consequences are always there to bite back.

And the truth is that ALAC does not have the financial resources that other stakeholder groups have, therefore will be at disadvantage whenever money allocation for activities will be involved.

So is what you are saying, that those who do not have the money like ALAC will meet online, whilst those who do, for example the GDD Summit, will meet face to face? So we've pretty much signed ALAC out having any significant involvement on important topics? Of course I am being provocative here, but we have to be careful about what we wish: if we wish less meetings, that will mean there will probably never be any further meetings outside of North America and Europe since the remaining meetings will be attended by thousands and thousands of people. The inter-meeting "action" (6 months is a long time) will take place in other meetings where we are not invited. IMHO we have to fight to keep that right to be a *all* meetings, not just the big ones. And we also have to fight to keep some meetings taking place in developing economies, or have given up on billions of citizens in these countries? (again I am being provocative :-) )
Kindest regards,

Olivier
